Disney World

2009-11-28T21:12:00.000-08:00

We had a fabulous time on our thanksgiving vacation to disney world. The kids had so much fun watching shows and meeting all of the disney characters. Although we took 800 pictures, it appears nearly impossible to get both kiddos to look at the camera and smile at the same time. None the less, here are some of the highlights from the trip.
Riding the carousel at magic kingdom was by far karley's favorite ride. She kept wanting to do it over and over. Luckily it was about the only ride there without a long line so we could do it
Both kids really loved watching the parades. We tried to watch one at each park if they were available. Kolton waved at everyone as they went by.

We took a break for a few days and it was even warm enough for Karley and Kolton to swim, not warm enough for mommy though.

Shopping in down town disney. The kids made mickey mouse hats

Nikki came along for a few days and we welcomed the help. It gave our arms a break from holding kids.

Although we had lots of fun... we also had many moments that looked like this :)

Nemo ride at Epcot

Dinner with the princesses. I felt bad that we were doing a girly thing and not something for kolton, but as you can see by the look on his face. He didnt mind at all.

We loved meeting all of the disney characters. They were super nice and signed autographs. We bought shirts and had them sign them for the kids.

Jammin at the street party at holleywood studios on thanksgiving day.

We had a great time.

Karley's Birthday Fiesta

2009-10-04T18:51:00.001-07:00

Karley had her birthday fiesta on Saturday at Bear Creek Park in Grapevine. A special thanks to all of our friends and family that came and made Karley's birthday a very memorable one. I hope every one had a blast. I know my kids did. They have been pretending to be the grumpy old troll and swiper all weekend and making each other solve riddles so they can cross over the bridge. For those of you who couldnt make it here are the highlights of the party!!
Thankfully it was a beautiful day and the kids started out by just hanging at the park. Special thanks to Laura who took all these pictures for us!

After some play time we ate Dora snacks. Explorer star sandwiches and chocolate covered bananas for boots the monkey. Who knew so many little people could fit at one table.Happy Birthday Karley, a little help from Mommy and Kolton to get the candle blew out.

After some snacks everyone grabbed their backpacks and got ready to go on an adventure with Dora to find the big pinata

A VERY VERY special thanks to swiper the fox who made an appearance and tied to steal our backpacks and made a couple of kiddos cry along the way including Karley. She is usually my brave one, but no this time Kolton had a blast and Karley freaked out!!

After we made it past swiper we came to the grumpy old troll, but we couldnt pass over the bridge until we solved the trolls riddle.

Finally we all made it to the big pinata!

Thanks so much to swiper and the grumpy old troll who agreed to some photo ops. I owe them BIG. I think lunch is one me at least until Christmas! You two did an amazing job. Kolton is still talking about it. He wanted to come back and see you after naptime and again on Sunday!

Once Karley realized Swiper wasnt there to swip her she was back to her happy self and ready to open presents.

Karley got some amazing gifts. Thank you all so much. By far her favorite so far has been her new babies and her butterfly wings. She has only taken the wings off for nap and a bath, we hid them so she couldnt find them to wear them to church :)

Once she had wings... she insisted she could fly!

Thank you all for coming. Karley had a great time!!!

Karley is 2 and its JoMama's Birthday too!

2009-10-01T18:57:00.001-07:00

Our baby girl is officially 2!! She had a great day with Bethany and Lilly and had a mini cupcake party complete with a birthday sash and a birthday crown which she kept on for the entire day!

Kolton had a hard time not being the center of attention today and he opened up Karley's presents while she was in the bathroom. However she was perfectly happy to share and didnt mind that the presents were already open.

Birthday Cupcakes

Karley and all of her new dora babies thanks to G-MA, Bethany and Aunt Kristy. Karley loves her Dora. She carried all three around all day.

They even made it safely into Karley's bed. I bought her a pack and play to put her babies in and she happily put them all in and said goodnight, but then got mad when i would put the pack and play in her bed. So she moved all the dora babies into bed with her :) This house is surrounded with Dora everywhere!

Kolton's Field Trip

2009-09-29T13:09:00.001-07:00

Today Kolton and Mommy went on a field trip with Kolton's school to the Dallas Arboretum. We had lots of fun checking out the pumpkins, playing in the playhouses and getting Kolton's face painted. Once his face was painted he ran around saying "woof, woof" to everyone who walked by. We had a great time today just having some Mommy Kolton time!

Kolton's first day of school

2009-08-24T18:15:00.000-07:00

Kolton had so much fun on the first day of school.

Mommy: Kolton what did you do at school today?

Kolton: We played, we played in the gym, we played with cars, we played on the playground at school. I did work a shape puzzle.

Mommy: What was your favorite part at school today?

Kolton: My favorite part was the scary balloon and the shape puzzle

Mommy: What made the balloon scary

Kolton: The air was going out on the balloon

In case anyone is wondering, I had a good first day too.

New York Vacation

2009-08-23T14:48:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun on our vacation to see our families for Cameron's first birthday and my grandparents 65 wedding anniversary party. It started off a little rough and both kids got sick the night before we were supposed to leave, but even puke in every room didnt stop us from making it on the trip (just a day later than planned) Here are some of my favorite pictures from the tripKarley reading a book with G-Pa (my dad is too cool to be called grandpa so we had to come up with a cool name for him.
Kolton turned into a baby for a while and really enjoyed the baby toys.

Karley and uncle Doob, she loves being tickled

Kolton, Karley and baby Cameron chilling on the swing

Karley on the motorcycle

We loved swimming in Jo Jo's pool

Kolton's camp out, more like camp in, but he slept and napped in a tent at Jo Jo's house

Kolton, Karley, daddy and Art Art going on an safari adventure to the "rainforest" They actually went out back in the creek, but the first time my kids had been in the woods and Karley thought it was the rainforest thanks to Dora and Diego's show when they go to the rainforest.

Aunt Kristy and Baby Cameron

Here is Kolton playing with the baby toys again

Cameron's first birthday boy did he love that cake. Happy birthday cameron!!

Pudding Painting

2009-07-23T12:53:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we were invited to a friends house for a pudding painting party. Who knew pudding could be so much fun and so messy. And my neat freak Kolton had a blast with the pudding painting.
He was a little shy at first, but it didnt take long for him to take a bite.

Then watch out! The hands were in and the pudding starting flying all over.

He started clapping his hands and saying, "what a mighty mess" over and over again. I am not sure where that came from, but it inspired Karley to atleast did in one finger.

She wasnt so sure, but she finally agreed to get a tiny bit messy.

Everyone washing off all their pudding paint. Except Karley who was exceptionally clean and just wanted to sit and snack!! The pudding party was a blast for sure. I am going to have to remember that one and steal the idea sometime!!

Splash Park

2009-07-20T14:05:00.000-07:00

Special thanks to Kaleena and Matthew for taking us to NRH2O to play today. It was kind-of chilly and rainy, but the kids had a blast. The mommies were a little cool in the water, but it sure beats being HOT. Thanks so much Kaleena we had a blast.

Karley splashing in the waves!!!!

Kolton and Karley loved splashing and Kolton thought the wave pool was fun... from the edge :)

Dora Live

2009-07-18T12:23:00.001-07:00

Today we went and saw Dora Live at Nokia theatre. Karley was so excited. As soon as we walked in she said, "Whoo hoo Yeah Dora show!" It was so cute!

Kolton was really excited to go to the show, but not all that thrilled once we were there. He didnt like the noises or the lights and he kept trying to escape by telling us he needed to go to the bathroom. He just sat there and watched the show, but he didnt really do anything or interact.

Karley on the other hand had a blast. She sang and clapped and danced and cheered for everyone that came on the stage.

Zoo day!!!

2009-07-17T13:59:00.000-07:00

It is Z day already. Here we are all ready to go to the zoo. Ready to beat the heat with our new shades ( both kids lost their glasses somewhere at the zoo. I think the monkies have Kolton and the tigers have Karley's)

First stop Flamingo's. Kolton wasnt really too interested, but Karley was really excited to see the animals.

Posing with the penguins

" Look Mommy Giraffes." Karley was loving the animals. She wanted to get down and play with all of them. She wanted to ride on the elephant and swim with the hippos. She was so funny. She kept wanting to get in and play with the animals.

Kolton was having fun with the baby elepahnt. They both thought it was fun to play with the baby elephant.

Kalrey wanted to hug the elephant... and kiss and elephant... and hug him again.

The zebra's were popular. Kolton really wanted to see the zebras because they started with Z. Then once we got there Karley loved them. She kept wanting to go back and see the zebras.

Petting Goats at the petting zoo. I was shocked. Kolton brushed a goat and pet a chicken, but Karley wouldn't touch them. Usually she does everything and kolton just watches.

The little farm play area was the highlight of the trip. On the way home I asked them what their favorite part was and they both said, " the farm" There werent even any animals at the farm, it was just a little play area. I asked them what their favorite animal was at the zoo and karley said ducks and Kolton said the cow... both of which were at the play area!!! SO i guessed i pushed a stroller all around the zoo for nothing. We should have gone to the farm :)

Karley kept asking if she could ride the animals... finally she got something to ride on!

W, X, Y

2009-07-15T13:46:00.000-07:00

We are ready to do letter Z already. I can't believe the summer is almost over. The kids and i have had lots of fun going all over the metroplex the last 2 months. None of us sit home very good. Every morning Kolton asks, "mommy, where are we going to go today?"

Karley giving our friend Austin a hug at the splash park. He wasnt too interested.

Karley splashing in the pool. Both kids pretty much just hang on me, i dont know why i bother taking them. They dont play with any of the fun things.

Xylophones concert for X day

Wacky Watermellon Day!

Look out zoo here we come!!!

V day

2009-07-13T14:02:00.000-07:00

I was really trying to take a day off, but Kolton wont let me so we are already on the letter V. We will be finished with our alphabet on Friday. According to me schedule we were going to finish the alphabet the first week of August just in time for mommy to go back to work, but according to Kolton's schedule we will be finished on FRIDAY. So zoo here we come if anyone wants to join us. We will be sweating all day Friday!!

V day Visors

And in case anyone was worried. Everyone is still going potty!! Even the stuffed animals are now forced to take a trip to the potty. Karley makes everything go potty. Everytime she plays with her doll house everyone must sit on the potty and she rarely takes a trip without a stuffed animal. Perhaps i am pressuring her a little too much :)

Happy Birthday Alex

2009-07-13T13:52:00.000-07:00

I knew GG would be disappointed she missed out on Alex's birthday so here are a couple of pics of his little celebration at our house.

Alex, Nikki and T T

Karley enjoyin some cake. That girl doesnt miss many meals!

None of the rest of us could pass up cake either

Alex and Krista

Happy Birthday Alex!

Under my Umbrella

2009-07-10T19:49:00.001-07:00

This picture is the highlight of my summer because it is a picture of Kolton playing with his Poo poo present. Yes you read right Kolton finally pooped in the potty. I know i am crazy, but i was thrilled. Both kiddos 2 days in a row in the potty. My life is pathetic i know, but this is the highlight of my summer so far. My diaper buying days are slowly coming to an end... i hope

Now on to the actually activities for the day. Today was U day we ate lunch under the umbrella (thanks GG for the suggestions) but it was too hot to eat outside. The kids couldnt sit on the table it was too hot. We also made little critters and got them ready for the rain. I tried to serve pizza and pretzels for lunch, but Kolton wouldnt eat it. He just kept telling me over and over that pretzel and pizza didnt start with a U they started with a P!!

They occasionally actually like each other. A goodnight hug before Karley went to nap.

S is for SPLASH and T is for Thomas

2009-07-08T13:21:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was s day and we went with Matthew and Kaleena to the splash park where Kolton's birthday was. Since my camera took a swim last time we went swimming i only kept it out for a few pictures and then i put it away.

Today was T day and we went to the Thomas store at the mall. Kolton saw it a few weeks ago and asked if we could go there for T day so i figured why not. Plus it kept them happy for a while.

Playing with the Thomas train tracks.

This touch screen computer for the highlight of Kolton's trip. It let you count things and match the numbers or learn about letters and then write the letters on the screen. Of course he would rather do that than play with all the TOYS!!

Ridin the train. Karley had a hard time with this one because you had to hold the button down and make it go she kept jerking back and forth

Riding Thomas. They kept fighting over Thomas he was easier to ride.

This one is much easier!

Happy Fourth of July

2009-07-06T19:27:00.000-07:00

Don't we look enthusiastic!!! They couldnt wait to go to the parade can't you tell ;)

Karley was miserable all day and did not want to do anything or go anywhere. Come to find out she had a virus that caused little sores in her mouth so i would be cranky too. Needless to say Mommy and Karley spent the fourth home on the couch and she wore her cute new dress for about an hour until it was too slimey and i had to take it off her.

Kolton on the other hand was in a good mood and had fun for the fourth. Kolton and Kevin went to a fourth of july party and even made it all the way to the fireworks. Kolton said the fireworks, " look like flowers in the sky that go BOOM BOOM!"

Letter's Q and R

2009-07-06T19:07:00.000-07:00

We spent some of Q day at the Kolton's 3 year old check up. Everything went good and he was a really good boy, but unfortunately Karley caught a virus either at the doctor or a day or 2 before because she was sick by the time she woke up from nap on thursday. She is now starting to feel better, but now Kolton has it of course. The joys of having 2 kiddos really close together that share toys, snacks and occasionally cups when i am not watching. None the less we managed to do a few fun activities.

Here is Kolton making "at" words, cat, bat, mat ect. I made him pictures and just left off the beginning letter for him to make the rest of the word, but he didnt like my plan. He wanted to spell the whole word each time. It took him two times to be able to sound out and spell all 5 words by himself. I dont know what his is going to do in kindergarten.

Karley with the queen's crown. We hid the queens crown and went and look for it over and over

Rainbow art for R day. Thanks to Mickey Mouse Kolton already knew what order the colors are in the rainbow. So we mixed colors to make orange, green and purple.

Karley starting to feel a little better. I think there is a little Galloway in her after all. I think she looks a lot like Mere in this picture.

P is for PIZZA

2009-07-01T13:05:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun today have pizza with our friends at Chuck e cheese. The kids did a great job and play a lot more than i think they have ever play there before. It helps to have our friends come with us. My kids sure have a lot more fun. Kolton used to be so scared of all the sounds and noises at Chuck e cheese, but he had a blast today as long as Karley went on it first :)Kolton even HUGGED Chuckie. He always cries when he walks by and says he is scary, but today he gave he high fives and then later he wanted to give him a hug and said, "see mommy he isn't scary"

Olivia riding the horse

Go Karley, She takes her horse riding very serious

Kolton and Austin having lunch. Kolton didnt want to sit with me. He wanted to sit with Laura and Austin.

This dancing game was by far their favorite. I think they played it 15 times. It played songs and they danced to the songs. They loved it!! Thanks to Kristy, Laura and Kaleena for joining us!! It is so much more fun with friends. See you guys soon!!

O is for Octopus

2009-07-01T12:53:00.001-07:00

The most exciting part of O day was we went to the mall and got new Dora sheets for Karley's bed and turned the crib into a big girl bed. Kolton was freaking out telling me to "stop breaking Karley's bed!" Karley however was very excited. She loved her big girl bed and slept in it all night without a problem at all. This is a picture of her when she first woke up in the morning. She just sat in there and talked and waited for me to come get her.

Each day we make a letter that goes with that day and decorate it with something that start with that letter. The walls are getting pretty full.

Hand print Octopus

(we did do a little bit with O today :) )

N day

2009-06-29T14:18:00.000-07:00

Who knew N day could be so exciting!! I was struggling for things to do that would be fun today. First we went outside to collect things that we would need to make a nest.

While on our hunt Kolton discovered something much for exciting... water in the street from peoples sprinklers. This 1/4 inch of water provided lots of entertainment.

They sat in the water

They dunked their heads in the water

They jumped in the water

They even laid down and put their faces in the nasty dirty water. After that is was off to a major bath and then we made no-bake cookies. Who knew a hunt for items for a nest could be so much fun!!

Monkeying around at Monkey Buisness

2009-06-27T19:46:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun for M day. We went to Monkey buisness and McDonalds with Laura and Austin. Karley loved the tire swing (until a big kid knocked her off.)
They both fought over this car. Who knew cars were so exciting. Out of all the things to play with the car and the baby stroller were the hot items.

After Monkey Buisness it was off to McDonalds, you can't have M day with out Mcdonalds. After our outings we made monkies when we got home. Thanks so much to Laura for taking pictures for me. My camera is still recovering from its swim on Luau day!!

Luau Pics

2009-06-26T12:32:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of our Luau party for L day. Although my camera took a swim at the Luau as well i was able to get some pictures off of it today after it dried out. Unfortunatly there is still water in it and it isnt taking good pictures anymore, but may it will keep drying out?!?!

Swimming with our mother's day out group from church. The kids loved it because the pool was only about 2-3 feet deep so they could play where ever they wanted

Thanks so much to Laura and Austin for coming along and keeping us company

Attack of the flies. There were flies everywhere. Kolton was freaking out everytime one landed on his food. Karley thought it was funny!

Letters J, K, L

2009-06-25T14:44:00.000-07:00

Special thanks once again to Nikki to keeping the alphabet days going and doing J day while I was at work. Jelly bean Jello Jiggles

Jellyfish art

Letter J crafts

Unfortunately pictures from K and L day are not available. We had a luau for L day and Kolton was trying to be helpful and hand me my camera and my camera went for a swim at the Luau so it is full of water right now and the Luau pictures are as well. Maybe it will dry out, but it isnt looking very good!!

Father's day

2009-06-25T14:38:00.000-07:00

We had a very busy father's day. The kids painted pictures for daddy and in return he got up early and drove to denton and picked up the kids a new playhouse. Thanks to those of you who sent money for Kolton's birthday. We used all the cash gifts to help purchase our new playhouse.

Big enough for daddy to get inside and play

Kevin spent all of naptime and into the non-daylight hours to build a stand for the play house to sit on. I dont have pictures of that yet, but hope to soon. Unfortunately Kolton thought our camera wanted to go for a swim so it is not working right now.

H and I Day

2009-06-20T13:44:00.001-07:00

Strawberry icecream cones for breakfast (kolton will eat almost anything as long as you tell him it goes with that days letter. He ate 2 circle shapes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with carrots shaped like a cone for lunch.) I even tried to give him real icecream but he didnt want it he wanted another sandwich with carrots icecream. We went out last night for ice cream since it was I day and he wouldnt eat it. He just wanted to get a drink.

Karley on the other hand loves her icecream!

Kolton doing an alphabet igloo. He is matching all of the letter cut outs to the igloo.

Beach Party Playdate

2009-06-17T13:14:00.000-07:00

Everything at our house has to have a theme thanks to the Kolton monster i created. SO today i told him we were having a backyard beach party with our friends. Specials thanks to all our friends who came over and had our fun beach party with us. (beach party definition: Sand, water, pails, shovels and some beach balls:)

All the kiddos in the water, Kolton, Karley, Julianna, Olivia and Austin.

Chillin out with a snack. Today everyone decided they like what was on someone elses plate better than their own even though everyones plate was the same.

I know it doesnt look like it, but Austin really liked the slide.

Where's my mom? Has anyone seen my mom?

Thanks for coming everyone. See you soon!

G Day

2009-06-17T13:07:00.001-07:00

G day was yesterday. Sorry i am a day behind. I got distracted yesterday looking for new playground things online. G day was kindof low key. We ate grapes and made a groovy grade craft. Then we made Giraffes and watched diego saves the gorilla. Pretty calm day! Poor Kolton no matter how hard he tries.. he still looks silly in all his pictures :)

Letter F With Nikki

2009-06-15T13:43:00.000-07:00

Today was letter F day. Special thanks to Nikki for babysitting and doing the letter F with the kids. I got home and Kolton said, "Mommy we did lots of activities today" He was so excited to show me his book and all the things he did with Nikki. They had French toast and fruit salad for breakfast, of course Kolton had to sing the fruit salad, yummy yummy song. They played with the farm and sang Old MacDonald and decorated their letters. Fish sticks and fish crackers were even ready for lunch when i got home.

Thanks Nikki they had lots of fun. Nikki does not disappoint, she even tooks pictures for me so i could see what they did and add them to the blog.

THANKS NIKKI!!

Happy Birthday Kolton!!

2009-06-15T13:30:00.000-07:00

Here is a few picture's from Kolton's birthday. I hope to have some video of his birthday up soon as well. For those of you that couldnt make it Kolton's Birthday was at Bedford splash water park. He had so much fun and didnt want to leave. It was a very hot day, but the water definately helped. Thanks for all of our friends and family for making Kolton's 3rd birthday so much fun. Sorry he wouldnt open his presents at the party he was having way too much fun playing in the water. He barely had a bite of cake. I had to make him come blow out the candles. Thanks again to Nikki and Alexa for watching the kids for us. Kevin and I barely saw our kids at the party we were so busy. Thanks for all the gifts. We are beginning to explore them. I think Kolton already has a few favorites and Karley has already picked a favorite as well. We cant get her to put down the Diego car from Aunt Te Te.

Letters D and E

2009-06-12T19:25:00.001-07:00

Unfortunately D day was rain day and we didnt get to do all the things we had planned because it was pouring. But daddy was nice enough to go get us donuts in the morning for breakfast. It rained too much for us to have lunch with daddy as well.

By the afternoon it was nicer and we got to have our dinosaur dirt snack and dig in our "dirt" (oreo pudding) until we found our dinosaur. Kolton wasnt sure he really wanted to eat it, but Karley dug right in! Kolton reluctantly decided to give it a try after Karley ate hers.

Then we went outside to rescue the dinosaurs from the sand. This time Kolton was very into it, but Karley did not want to play. She wanted to go down the slide and swim in the pool.

E is for excellent memory. We were supposed to wait until Monday to do E day. I told Kolton we were going to get ready for his birthday party today, but he reminded me that the sun went down and came back up and that made it a new day so it was E day. We ate eggs and made elephants and went to the mall with Matthew. Kolton was annoyed that Mall and Matthew didnt start with E, but he had fun anyway!

C is for Chick-fil-a and castle park

2009-06-10T13:11:00.000-07:00

Today is C day. Kolton barely gets out of bed in the morning before he reminds me what letter it is today and asks me what we are going to eat that starts with C and what we are going to put on our letter C and hang them up so daddy can see them. Unfortunately i couldnt think of a healthy breakfast item that started with C (i should have bought some captain crunch cereal) instead we arraged our strawberries to look like a C (Kolton's idea of course) Today we went to chick-fil-a with laura and austin. Thanks to my crazy children Austin might be an only child. :) Then we went to the castle park and make caterpillars.

B is for Bonkers and Beach Party

2009-06-09T12:31:00.000-07:00

Today is letter B day. It wasnt enough that we had Blueberries and Blueberry muffins for breakfast, we also had to make them into the shape of a Capital B first and then a lower case B second. I think Kolton should be a curriculum writer. He doesnt even let me do what i have planned. He changes up my activities. Here are some pics of our trip to Bonkers and our Beach Party!

A is for Apple

2009-06-09T12:17:00.000-07:00

Our fun summer has begun. I am creating a monster! kolton wants to be entertained every second of the day with things that start with today's letter. I forgot how much work it was to be a fun preschool teacher. For letter A day we made pancakes in the shape of an A, ate apple smiles and ants on a log for snack. Painted with apples and sang the Ants go marching along with many other A activites. Kolton can also write the letter A. He says, Big stick Big stick little stick! Karley walks around saying it too, but she cant write it yet :)

Pampered

2009-05-26T19:08:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all who came to the pamper chef party and for cooking with me. I tried the recipe out tonight and it wasnt the same, Laura i need some tips!!! Gale i heard you made it without the recipe and it was awesome. I even had the recipe and couldnt make it right!

May pics

2009-05-26T18:55:00.000-07:00

Here are our May pics. The first are Kolton and Karley helping plant flowers for mommy for mother's day. Then this weekend we discovered Monkey Buisness which is an indoor playground. Kolton said "Monkey Buisness was his favorite part of the day" When Dora asked, "What is your favorite part?" At the end of his show on Sunday. I know i have been a terrible blogger and have not been keeping you guys updated. I will try my best to do better. I have a fun summer planned and hope to add pics often

Easter Fun

2009-04-12T14:23:00.000-07:00

We had lots of fun this weekend with Aunt Mere. On Friday we went to church because we knew it would be less busy than going on Sunday. Karley was so "excited" that she kicked her poor Sunday school teacher and Kolton refused to leave without the teacher giving him an Easter egg. On Satuday we went to the arboritum to see all the flowers and the houses based on children's books. Karley was stubborn and would only do things on her schedule. Kolton loved the houses and didnt want to leave because he was dancing to the music.

Sunday was filled with Easter fun. We had an indoor egg hunt because it was raining outside. We decorated Easter eggs and made easter egg cookies. Karley thought they were finger lickin good. Mere even made us bunny pancakes for breakfast. We are about to have Easter dinner which mommy is probably going to burn because she has never made a turkey... So we will add more pics later. This movie couresy of Aunt Mere because Mommy isnt a good blogger yet!

Flying Kites

This weekend was perfect flying kite weather. I had no idea Kolton and Karley would be so good at it. They both would run and then just stand and watch their kites fly. Of course Karley also got quite tangled up in hers and said, "Oh no Dora!" everytime her kite fell back to the ground. Who knew dollar store kites could be so entertaining.

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to the Bedford Boys Ranch Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with our small group from church. Kevin was trying to give Kolton strategies to get the most eggs, but since Karley is better at cleaning up; i think she got more eggs than Kolton. After the egg hunt we made crafts and Kolton made bunny ears. Neither one of them would have anything to do with the easter bunny!
