Spring is here....

and Easter is all around! Right now our house is full of plastic eggs, Easter Little People, Easter books, stuffed bunnies and chickies, and of course we could not forget our Easter soap!

Kaylee was helping me decorate for Easter by putting the little egg ornaments on our little Easter tree. I love to watch her decorate this tree and be so excited because this was mine from when I was little and I still remember decorating this tree. I am so glad my Mom saved it!

My challenge of today....

....was trying to do the grocery shopping with a list that looked like this within one minute of walking into the grocery store...thanks Lex! I guess she thought it would be way more fun looking like a puzzle.

I am sure I looked really silly walking around trying to hold the list together to make sure I did not miss anything. And then Lex kept saying the whole time "Mommy, list broken". Ya thanks! :))

On a javelina watch

Often when we go for a late walk, late as in 7:45-8pm we will see the two very fat javelina (not sure if spelling correct) that seem to patrol our neighborhood. They kind of make me nervous but luckily they run from us when ever we have seen them on our walk. It probably helps that we have a dog that wants to chase them. A few times when I have looked outside from our front window I have seen them right in front of our yard. It doesn't help that we love to feed the birds bread all the time in our front yard, and the latest is feeding the bunnies that roam our neighborhood carrots, hey they are friends with the Easter Bunny so it never hurts to have them put in a good word! :) Kaylee is very scared of the javelina and will want to run right inside. Ryan is always trying to get a good picture without getting too close. So far just pictures that don't turn out but oh well.

Here they are watching them on the corner when the javelina were eating something across the street a little way down. Kaylee had a brave moment before running back in the garage. :)

Ryan was trying to get a good picture just by zooming in but it did not turn out so well. If you click on the picture you might be able to see the two fuzzy images.

Her daily workout

Whenever Daddy is home to help her, Lex loves to do her pull ups or "powups" as she says. She will say "powups, Dada help?" Then we will get good counting practice in while counting the number of reps she does.

Fun Spring Break!

Kaylee has had spring break this past week and we have been keeping very busy with lots of play dates, a park day, the library, a mall shopping/lunch day, all of which not one day I remembered to bring my camera until today, and this morning we met some friends over at the fountains. We were not the only ones with this idea today because it seems that everyone else that was off also showed up. It was so crowded. The kids were almost a little overwhelmed at first with all the people. After some snacks, lunch, and some of the crowd thinning out they were ready to play and had a great time!

Ice Cream Sundae Party- Kaylee's 2nd Birthday

This is a flashback post from when Kaylee turned 2!  I was looking at these pictures the other day and it reminded me of the cute Ice Cream Sundae party we did for her.  I love all the pink and green and the fun little details.  This was only my second kid birthday party EVER but I think it turned out pretty cute.  I don't have a ton of pictures but wanted to share what I had.  This party was back before the blogging days but I still wanted to remember this cute party.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day evening spending it with our friends the Studdert family who were in town for a visit!









Show us your age!

After dinner we all had fun decorating cupcakes!!

Lex loved her cupcake!
