Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday we had our cousins Bryant, and Ally over for Easter. We colored eggs, hunted eggs, ate way to much candy, and played hard. Another fun day for Spring Break

Asparagus

Cameron got to try her first veggie today. We were having fresh asparagus with dinner tonight so I put a few pieces in the blender for her added a little water and some of her rice cereal.

 

She loved it! At least I have one child that does.  She kept grabbing my hand and bringing the spoon into her mouth, and sucking it clean! Not as messy as I remember. She sure did scarf it down though. I also gave her a bite of mashed potatoes, she didn’t like them and started to gag. It was way to cute.

They grow up way to fast! Make it stop!

First day of our exciting spring break

Julia’s first spring break.  On Thursday was her school egg hunt and party. I went to help with it, everyone had fun. After we left I picked up Haley and Cameron and we headed to the fair for dollar day. (Thanks to Grammy and Pop-Pop Chapman for inviting us to come. ) It was a $1 to get in and $1 to ride each ride. We got to go with our cousin Bryant.                              

We had a blast can’t wait to do it again soon!

O2B Kids

Julia’s first field trip. She was in Heaven. She was more excited about the bus ride, until she got inside and got to see what O2B kids was.   

Julia getting on the bus  Friends she rode on the bus with  The reading room. Not much reading was done.       The play park area outside.  Balancing on the beams outside. Playing with Austin (who has  a crush on her and the first few weeks of school she said she loved him and they were going to get married, but not any more. She likes someone else now.)Getting all strapped up to climb the wall.             She started up the wall no problem…               She made it just above Mrs. Caldwell’s head and got scared!                The science experiment. They made GAK out of elmers glue, water, borax, and green food coloring. The boys couldn’t wait to get their hands in it and all the girls were making faces like Julia’s and didn’t want to touch it.

She had a great time and everyday since has said she wants to go again. And she came home yesterday with a free family pass to go back. YEA! This time daddy and Haley will get to come. Maybe we’ll go one day during spring break.

Penguins

We went to the zoo to see the new exhibit they have of the Penguins. It was packed!  I thought the exhibit had opened the weekend before, but I was wrong it opened the day we went. It was so full that we had to park out in the dirt parking lot. We waited about 45 minutes in line to see the Penguins, and I was a little disappointed. The exhibit use to have otters in it and they have moved the otters but didn’t change the exhibit it looks the same except now it has penguins in it. I’m not sure if it’s a permanent exhibit but it didn’t look closed in and will get very hot in the summer. Maybe they are still working on it. The girls had a blast. We took my 2 sisters and their husbands and our cousin Aly. We can’t wait to go again, hopefully next time it won’t be so crowded. (Crowds make me nervous!) Maybe a trip we will take during spring break!There’s a spot where you can climb under the exhibit  and see them swimming around.                                       Kassie and Billy      Haley, Julia, and Aly trying to feed the bird.(He was full from so many visitors that day!)                                Aly eating her lunch                                          Aunt Jeannie

Everybody needs a little TIME OUT!

Two peas in a pod. Always in trouble together. But aren’t they cute little messes.

 

After a few minutes in time out    :) ALL is Well

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone has a safe and blessed day. We are thankful for all our many friends, family, and the time we get to spend with them.

  

Just look at all these SMILES! I am most  thankful for them.

Does anybody recognize this?

Paul decided to organize a few of the closets here at the house before his parents come home and found this hidden in one of them. He said his brothers and sisters would recognize it. I don’t believe him. Can anyone of his sisters or brother back up his stories?

Happy Halloween

Since I recently had a C section my sisters took my little girls trick or treating, and boy did they have fun spending time with there Aunts, Cousin, Uncles, Friend, and Pop-Pop Erwin.

Julia was a pretty witch

Haley was a princess.

Alyssa, Julia, Joey, and Haley

Hope yours was as fun as ours!
