Dress Up...

After 5 months of going to disneyland and purchasing a darling snow white costume, little sis finally decided she would wear it. She put it on a few days ago and will not take it off. I love how she added the hat to go with it and the pink high heels...

Today big bro. and little sis' friends "S" and "L" came over to play. They were in their room playing and they came out looking like this...so cute (not quite sure why little sis took off her shirt)

Senior Pictures...

My sister-in-laws sister "D" asked if I would take her senior pictures for her. She was so easy to photograph...she is beautiful and takes great photos...I had so much fun "D" thanks for letting me practice on you...here are just a few...

Easter Weekend...

My mom and my aunt had an easter egg hunt for their grandkids on sat.morning. They put so much work into this easter egg hunt and the kids absolutely loved it (so did the adults). To start off each child decorated their own easter pail...here are the finished easter pails

next up was the easter egg hunt, as you can see they filled their pails...

big bro. had to empty his pail to check out each item he had found...

after the easter egg hunt all the kids colored easter eggs...

the afternoon ended roasting hot dogs and marshmallows for lunch
It was a perfect day. I love that my kids have so much fun with their cousins. It is so fun to be so close to them!!! Thanks so much Mom andAunt Collette for making this day so much fun!!

Easter Fun!!!

We had such a great Easter weekend and the weather was just perfect! Our weekend was filled with family, food, and fun. Here are a few of the kids in their easter outfits. More pics and details to come...

Baby "L"

Here is a little peek at my new little niece. She is just 1week old and is so cute! My kids adore her--it is so fun to see their faces light up when they hold her.

BEAR CUB...

Last weekend we visited the local sporting goods store where they had 6 bears cubs they were showing. When we got there the line to see the bears cubs was out the front door but we decided to wait in line because you never know when your kids will have the opportunity to hold a bear cub again. After about 1.5 hour wait we finally made it to the front of the line. Although we did our best to entertain the kids they were a mess by the time it was our turn to see the cubs. Big bro. was in tears because we wouldn't buy him a batman fishing pole that he saw and little sis was upset because she wanted a pair of dora CROCS and a barbie fishing pole. It was amazing how all tantrums stopped when the little bear cub was placed in big bro's arms and frowns were turned into smiles. I guess the long wait was worth it.

Later that night our phone rang at 10:30 P.M. It was my mom, with an excited voice, saying that she just saw the kids on the local news station holding the bear cub. I saw the news cameras filming kids as we were waiting in line but I didn't notice them filming when my kids were holding the bear cub. I was so mad I was not watching the news at the time. I tried finding a video clip on the news stations website but no luck. So yes, I guess the long wait was worth it in the end.

OUCH...

Lately Big bro. and little sis. have been jumping on my bed. Becasue this is not the safest activity, a few night ago we told them that we had a new rule in our home which was no jumping on beds. Well, because kids will be kids, once again they were jumping on my bed tonight. I told them they needed to stop jumping and get off of my bed...of course they did not listen so I told them once again to stop jumping...no sooner did I finish my sentence than did big bro. go flying off my bed...unfortunately the drawer to my night stand was left open and he hit his head right on the corner of the drawer. He was not a happy camper. Luckily "R" could stitch him up (9 stitches to be exact) so we didn't have to spend all night at an ER. Big bro. was pretty brave but he did shed a few tears as the numbing medication was being injected. I just hope big bro. (and little sis) learned a thing or two about the importance of being obedient.
