Finding Eggs

Not a lot of kids this year at our community easter egg hunt, so the kiddos got hooked up with candy and prizes.

the mr turns 35

My man is OLD! My sister watched the babes while we took the girls to Fiesta Fun then out to dinner. Afterward we headed back to my sister's and celebrated with delicious cup cakes.

First Ever Concert

Heard of Greyson Chance yet? If not, check him out. He's got a great voice and my girls LOVE him. We went to his first ever concert last night. My girls excitement and delight was well worth the ear shreiking screams that left me deaf in both ears for what seemed like a lifetime.

Just arrived. Making our way to our seats.


My date for the night. My sweet sister Jennifer.


After hearing from a few openers, Camryn and some guy off of Good luck Charlie, came the main event. The first was Greyson, and the crowd went wild. I think my hearing loss came around this time. Cody Simpson was next.


Lainie was so cute.


We just happened to be sitting right next to a few of Anna's pals, so they all screamed and freaked out together.


A couple of my gal pals were there too.

The view from my road this morning....and I'm NOT at all happy about it. What happened to an early spring???

Thank You

Thank you auntie Nicole for the cute jammies. And to their grandmas and grandpas for their gifts. Wish we could have celebrated with you all. xoxo

photo time.

We have no white walls in our house so we hung a sheet to take some passport photos. Afterward, Ava and the babies thought it was their time to pose for the camera.

The babes turn 2.

2 years has flown by in what seems like a blink of an eye. Happy Birthday sweet babies.

Spring Break

We spent our spring break in Yuma Arizona this year. We followed my sister's family and parents and spent the week at my grandparents. It was nice to get away, relax, and spend time with family.

Ava's Nest

"mom, come take my picture with my nest I made at school." Then she ate it.

Dr. Suess Week

Crazy Socks Day

Dress up like a book character day. This is our last minute pippy longstocking.

Anna's 9

Can't believe this lady is 9 already. Happy Birthday sweet Anna Jane.

Roller Skate Party

For Anna and Lainie's party this year we rented out a skating rink that's just a couple of miles up the road. It was so old, but so fun. They loaded up on cupcakes and pizza and enjoyed 2 full hours of skating. Speaking of cupcakes, I worked super hard on these. Took forever, especially since Owen decided to take a bite out of a lot of them and I had to make them again. I'm not a great baker, but these were tasty!

Lainie turns 7.

The traditional pancake number breakfast. This time with sausage too.

Frosting her cake that she made after school.

Next we headed to Pirate Island Pizza for dinner and then to Grandma's and Grandpa's for cake and ice cream.

Poor Sick baby

Just a few of the photos I have taken of this lady over the past 2 weeks. It all started with a super high fever one night. On the 5th day we headed to the dr. and turns out she had strep. I was told within 24 hours of using the antibiotic, the fever would subside. It didn't. Day 9 we went back to the dr. and they swabbed her throat and nose, took a urine sample, blood, and 2 chest xrays. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting by the phone, the dr. called and said that she had strep, parainfluenza type 3, and pneumonia. My poor poor baby. We started her on a several heavy drugs and now on day 12 her 103-104 degree constant fever finally broke! So happy and so thankful for medicine.
