Kite Flying

Last week we had a wonderful day at the park flying kites. Our mom's club had park day and we all decided to bring our kids kites. I thought for sure the kids were going to crash into one another and tangle their lines but they never did. This was the first time we have done this. I can't even remember if I had done this myself as a kid. Alexys had the best time. Can't wait to do it again.

Samantha @ 16 months

With all of the holiday festivities I forgot to post about Miss Samantha turning 16 months. She is walking all over now. She stands at the front window when the kids are out front playing and wants to go too! Don't grow up too fast my little one!

Easter 2009

We started our Easter on Friday. Martin and Jenny drove in to spend the weekend with us. Friday Jenny picked up Gavin and Blaze and brought them over to our house. The kids decorated eggs. At first the boys didn't want to do it but it didn't take long for them to get into it. They even wanted to take the ones they colored home.

Martin's son Terry spent the weekend at over at our house too.

Saturday morning our local park put on an Easter egg hunt. This was the first Easter in a long time that it was cold and overcast. The girls looked so cute in their Easter dresses though. The park did 4 egg hunts for all the different age groups. Samantha was patiently waiting for her turn.

They had the Easter Bunny there for the kids to take pictures with too. Samantha was not so fond of the Easter Bunny. There was a newspaper reporter there and she asked if she could take a picture of the girls to put in the local Menifee paper. Can't wait to see if it makes it in it.

Later Saturday afternoon we did another egg hunt at our house since the boys had a soccer game and couldn't come to the one at the park.

Logan was the big winner this year she found the egg with a $20 bill in it!


Terry's boys came over in the afternoon and we had our Easter dinner. It was fun getting to see everyone. The kids all had a great time playing together.

CCL Egg Hunt

Easter morning my friend Christina invited us over with a couple of the other neighbors to have an Easter egg hunt at her house. She did a fabulous job. The Easter Bunny had left candy filled eggs, carrots and his little paw prints. A few of his friends even stayed behind for the girls to find.

Don't you just love when your baby unrolls the toilet paper? This is a weekly thing for us. I have to keep the door closed. Last week my cellphone would of been in the toilet if the lid wasn't down.
