Another Happy Easter

A quiet day filled with Faith, Family, Friends and the Eater Bunny. Sounds cliche, but it's true...our morning started early, as mornings tend to do around here, with hunting for easter baskets hidden around the house by the easter bunny. It was terrible weather so unfortunately the easter bunny was unable to leave eggs outside, but much to our surprise (and I am sure to the surprise of every weatherman who said the terrible weather would last all day), when we got out of church at 2:00 it was gorgeous. Seriously...the most beautiful day Houston is capable of producing. It was then time to eat and we were lucky to share our easter meal with Kayden's dad, Kaylee's mom, nana and yaya (my mom and my brother). The day then ended with some fun familiness outside enjoying the weather.

Kayden found her basket faster then I said go...dang it, and her's was supposed to be the most tricky

Kyler was next...it was hidden in her favorite place in the house, the kitchen

Kaylee, in true Kaylee fashion, needed a little push getting into the finding spirit. With the help of Kayden she found her basket in one of the favorite hide-n-seek spots...behind the couch...gotta love 3 year old hide-n-seek.

Love them!

Kyler is OBSESSED with eating and I do not exaggerate. She is more obsessed with food then any child I know, including Kaylee, which is tough competition. This is her begging us to open her treats and no she is not just excited. You see, had we had not opened them, the next picture would be of a tantrum :)

I am really, really loving yellow this spring! Sad this is the best picture we could get, no one was in the mood and the weather was crappy

If only I had a video camera

I am basically writing this post for myself, and the purpose of not forgetting. I have no video and no pictures...just the event in my head which was beyond funny, but probably only if you were there.

Sunday evening Michael and I were sitting on the driveway with Kyler watching Kayden and Kaylee drive around in there mini red mustang...this by the way is pretty much how we spend majority of evenings in the spring and summer. Usually the girls are playing some sort of pretend thing where kayden is the driver coming to pick up her friend, mother, sister, teacher, etc. This particular moment, Kaylee was in the garage getting something and Kayden was tired of waiting for her so she starts backing out of the driveway. Kayden starts to drive off and Kaylee is running down the driveway yelling "mom, come back". Kayden waves and keeps on going, so what else would Kaylee do but get on her play phone, dial Kayden's number and start yelling at her to "come back right now". Kayden makes the loop and pulls back in the driveway to get Kaylee. Kayden jumps out to grab a cookie while Kaylee is climbing in the passanger seat rolling her eyes at Kayden (seriously). They are both in the car pretending to put on seatbelts and Kaylee is telling Kayden that she is "naughty" and they go back and forth in there play argument. At this same moment, Kayden is not really paying attention and forgets to put the car in reverse to back out. She pushes on the gas and goes forward, almost hitting Michaels car (not that it would have done damage, but that is what was about to happen). She quickly stops, puts the car in reverse and as she backs out is telling Michael and I "my bad, my bad, calm down". With one hand on the wheel and a cookie in the other, she continues to back out while Kaylee picks up her 'cell phone' and starts talking. They drive off. Michael looks and me and says this is going to happen one day, and Ill be yelling "Kayden, get something better to eat for breakfast and Kaylee, get off the phone...you don't need to talk to anyone at 7:00 in the morning".

And those days are coming...faster then we think

My House is SOOOO RUDE!

Good thing I am already trying to sell it. I know my new house will have a much better opinion about me.

Your Home Says That You Feel Unsettled and Free

You don't come across as very intellectual or serious. You seem like a bit of a goofball. You have amazing hygiene, and it shows. You are sparkling clean! You are a fairly domestic person. You can probably make a decent batch of home cooked cookies. You are not a very nurturing person. You have enough trouble taking care of yourself. You don't feel settled in your life yet. You are scrambling to figure things out. You are a somewhat self sufficient person. You can do fine on your own if you have to. Your friends see you as courageous, dynamic, and bright.

What Does Your Home Say About You?

Tagged

Well, I didn't get around to doing the all famous catch up post (it was just me, kayden and kyler last night and I could not resist sleeping in bed with them, so that meant a really early bed time for me...double score)...but anyway, Jade Tagged me a while back and its time to make good on my promise so here we go...

It's a 6 Random things/quirks tag...here are the rules:
1- Post the rules on your blog
2- List 6 random things about yourself.
3- Tag 6 people at the end of your post.
4- Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
5- Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Let's see...

1 - I cannot drive with shoes on my feet. When I was 16 I was pulling my mom's car into the garage and there is a slight bump between the garage and the driveway and I was going too slow to make it up the bump. Well, I pushed down on the gas, but my shoe slipped and I ended up hitting my dad's work bench, destroying a few tools, and pushing the workbench thr0ugh the back of the garage. Never wore shoes again while driving.

2 - Sometimes when I have to get up late at night, I run back into my bed frantically pulling the covers over me like a little kid who is scared of the dark, monsters, bad men, and everything else that scares little kids.

3 - I am in love with cold cereal. I could eat it everyday for every meal and still never get tired.

4 - My favorite movie is the "Cutting Edge"; I have probably seen it a gazillion times and it never gets old. I love Kate's attitude, it cracks me up.

5 - I really don't like to wear socks and shoes, for no particular reason other then I don't like to. I used to track to classes at Utah State in the snow and my flip-flops...drove my grandpa nuts.

6 - I am a huge cry-baby when it comes to my children, or any child for that matter. I cried at a dance recital one time and I didn't know any of the children in the show, I cried at my girls first soccer game, I can cry just sitting here thinking about them...on the plus side, I have become pretty good at hiding my teary eyes.

I tag...well, I am pretty sure I lost the sad following I had, so if you read this, consider yourself as one of the six :)

I'm Back

and I sure do have a lot of work to do...more to come...but I make no promises on when as I think I said that in December and boy do I look like a fool

Yea Me!

Hard to tell in the picture, but the car is jacked up

Yea for Young Women's...because about 12 years ago I learned how to change a flat tire during a mutual activity. I knew it would come in handy one day so I actually paid attention. If only I could say the same about the class on ironing.

A big thanks to Kayden and Kyler for being so good

And another big thanks to Michael for being on birthday party duty that day

Daddy made a bad choice

Well my dreams of good December blogging kind of got shot (well you know) when the cable man cut the cable wire and then took two weeks to come fix it....but at least this time I took pictures and can back track.

Ok, so going back to a week ago when Daddy made a bad choice. Every night Kyler goes to bed around 7:30, sometimes without food. If that is the case one of us will make her a bottle before we go to bed and feed her so she does not get up in the middle of the night. Her normal routine is to eat and go immediately back to bed. Well, this particular evening I had to bring some work home so daddy was on feeding duty. I have no idea what prompted him to bring Kyler out of the room where I was working to feed her. Oh wait, yes I do...a basketball game was on. Ok, so I have no idea why he thought watching a basketball game in the same room I was working was a good place to feed Kyler.

This is what happened to my sweet sleeping baby...hum, I wonder why she is not sleeping???

She attacked my hair

Watched me work

Helped make Kaylee's bed


And smelled my new deodorant, which smells like cooking vanilla so I am afraid to see what I will smell like when I get sweaty...hopefully its fresh baked cookies, but I highly doubt that

What happened to daddy do you ask? Oh, he got to go to bed, courtesy of mom. I wanted soooo bad to teach him a lesson, but since I was up late working anyway, it made no sense for both of us to be tired. Just my luck, I rarely bring work home and the night I do, daddy pulls a stunt like this.

A loser month because I am a loser

November was a loser month for me as far as posts go, but it was an eventful month to say the least...Things have sure calmed down and I have a pretty darn good feeling smoother sailing is ahead. Thanksgiving was definitely what the doctor ordered for so many thankful reasons and who doesn't love a good trip to Utah to see the famdamly. And I am being serious here; I miss my place of birth and miss the family roots that still remain.

So sadly, with the exception of Kyler's first feeding (see below), all the picture I took for the month will fit easily into this one little post. They have no rhyme or reason and nothing to do with really anything, but they are pictures and special none-the-less...

This was a really cute scene of Kyler snuggling up to Michael...then Kayden jumped in and sort of invaded Kyler's brief moment of snugglness, but that is what families (sister's) do and we love it.

Kayden's "These boots are just cool enough to be on my feet" look

I am not really sure what look Kaylee was going for, but she really wanted me to take a picture. So I guess I will call it the "I really want my mom to take my picture without looking like I wanted her to take my picture" look.

A nice farewell gift as we parted our way's from Utah

This plus about 10 years equals HUGE trouble

No good stories here, just some pictures

So I have been meaning to get the girls pictures taken for quite some time and in the wee hours of the morning, as I was feeding Kyler, I randomly decided today would be the day.

Teigan, the shirts look so cute...I am sad Kyler's does not fit anymore, but I do like the all black.

I cannt speyll

I would like to apologize for all the misspelling you have found in my blog and will continue to find. Spell check can not save us all. I try to go back and correct them, but it is sometimes days later.

Thank you Michael for checking our blog and being my spell checker.
