Easter Egg Hunt

Isabelle's preschool class had their Easter egg hunt this morning. There were a LOT of eggs. They asked each kid to bring in 30 eggs and it added up, not that the kids were complaining. :)

Eggs!

Some of the parents stayed and we "hid" the eggs while the kids played on the playground.

Its a sea of Easter eggs!

All lined up and ready to hunt!

(side note- See the cute little guy in front? That's Jerrin, Isabelle says she is marrying him on Dec. 25th)

Go!

Looking for more eggs.

I think you got them all!

Isabelle and her friend, Rio. You can't see, but yes, Rio's bucket was just as full. All the kids had full baskets and buckets. They were in heaven.

Rory got to hang out too. :)

Spring Break 2011

When JetBlue did one of their cheapy airfare sales a couple months ago, we snatched up some tickets to Vegas for super cheap. Why Vegas? The kids have been begging to go back ever since their Uncle Spencer and Aunt Skylar got married there almost 3 years ago. Plus, its a great first flight destination, just long enough to get the experience without being too long. :)

Getting ready to board the plane at the LB Airport

Rory and I did some window shopping :)

City Center had some fun stuff for the kids too. Like these giant rabbits!

And a bunch of these water hurricanes.

Rory just hanging out with mom.

Giant chocolate fountain at the Bellagio.

Yummy!

Rory on her bed.

Grandma was a little worried that the baby would keep everyone awake all night, so she sprang for a second room. Worked out awesome! Rory slept great, I think she liked having her own queen size bed.

Where we stayed, the Excalibur!

(the kids wanted to sleep in the castle hotel)

They liked the moving walkways.

And Spongebob!

Vegas wasn't the only thing we did. :) We also went to an Ontario Reign game and Daddy did a great job and got each kid a puck at the end of warm-ups so we got free souvenirs! It was a fun spring break, but boy were we all happy when school started back up!

What do you get when the baby holds in her poo for 3 days?

You get all of this loveliness!!!

Needless to say, Rory is feeling MUCH better now.

Awesome Bag Giveaway!

It's Twinsanity Reviews is doing a giveaway for Petunia Pickle Bottoms newest bag and I want one!!! It looks awesome, so big and room for everything you need to carry (plus the kitchen sink). :) Go here if you want to know more or even enter yourself!

Casey's Cupcakes, Mother/Son Dance, and Teeth

In recent news:

Recently we saw an episode of Cupcake Wars and Caleb got so excited when they introduced the bakers and one, Casey's Cupcakes, was from Riverside. In Caleb's words, " Riverside! That's near US, Mom!!" He was very excited. They went on to win their episode, so Jared and I decided a fun outing was in order. We finally made it there today! We got lots of cupcakes, all different flavors and are cutting them up and sharing so we get to try all the flavors. :)

Our cupcake boxes

So excited to dig in!

Surrounding the main box we have Strawberry, Coconut, and Cinnamon spice; and then in the box, top l to r, orange, milk chocolate, and Legally Blonde (the cupcake of the month, marshmallow infused oreo), and bottom we have red velvet, vanilla bean, and raspberry.

So yummy!!

Caleb's school had their annual Mother/Son dance last week.

He was quite the dancing machine for the first hour, then he just wanted to come home and play a board game. :)

He had fun hanging out with his friend, Noah M.

And this baby girl has TWO teeth! Both of her bottom teeth came in just a couple days apart. She is also rocking the cutest little ponytail. Headbands have become a bit of a fight (she just yank them off), and her hair is just long enough its starting to brush the tops of her eyes, so she is sporting this look quite often now.

Those cheeks are starting to make her face look rather square. :)

There they are!!!

Rory's First Cereal

Shortly after Rory hit the four month mark we let her have her first taste of cereal. Always a fun moment. :)

All ready and waiting! Isn't she cute, all serious.

Oh yeah, there's some excitement!

Hmmmmm, first bite...

What IS this stuff?

Why, oh WHY are you making me eat this?

Utilizing those fat chipmunk cheeks and not swallowing anything.

Please don't make me go through this again!

Well, its been a month now, and her eating has not improved at all. She's tried carrots too, but no go, she cheeks it or pushes it right back out with her tongue. Hopefully she figures this eating thing out soon!! And she is constantly trying to grab our food, so I know she's interested. We'll just keep practicing and eventually she'll catch on. In other Rory news, she's rolling both ways, and has her first tooth! I've yet to capture it on camera, she always sticks her tongue out and covers it up when she smiles, but hopefully I'll get a shot of it soon. Such a big girl!!

Crazy Hair 2011!

His hair is so long this year we had to use egg whites and the blowdryer to get it to stay up, but it was worth it. He loved it!
