Don't forget to Floss

Now after Kaitlin has brushed her teeth (which she usually likes to do a few times a day) she insists on flossing. Personally I think she just likes the flavor of it but maybe she really is just interested in good personal hygeine. Here are some cute pictures I took of her in action!

Spring Break

What a chilly spring break we had!! We went to my sister's house for a few days and then on to my mom's.

We arrived on Monday afternoon at Stacey's and got settled before going out to dinner. Tuesday morning we went to visit GiGi and later after dinner we went to the outlet mall. Wednesday we just kind of had an around the house day. Dad and Gail came for a visit and lunch. They broght the kids all kinds of goodies from their house that they were trying to get rid of. Later that night I met my mom at the mall. We had dinner and then the kids went on the carousel (2 times). Kaitlin wasn't so sure about it at first but then she had to go again. She said she wanted to ride the "Princess Ponies." Soon after our vacation went all down hill. Kaitlin got sick at the mall. We immediatly left and she was getting sick all night long. Thursday afternoon she was feeling better. We went to mom's on Thurday and left on Saturday. Friday she and Ryan went to the movies and saw Meet the Robinson's in 3-D. Jack came over and visited too. Mom also bought a coconut for Ryan. He has been wanting to see what a "real" coconut is like and taste the milk inside. It was quite a job opening but he thought it was very cool. He kept a chunk of the shell. We went to the park on Saturday and then left about 4pm b/c we were suppose to have some severe weather on Sunday. About 30 mins into the car ride home, Ryan started getting sick. All the way home, 3 hours of getting sick in the car. What a nightmare. But he was really good about it. We had a bag and we stopped a few times. He was sick just that night and then fine.

We are all glad to be home and feeling better.

Happy Easter

Everyone had fun dying eggs to prepare for a visit from the Easter Bunny! Ryan wrote a note for him asking if he like big or little carrots and to please hide his eggs HARD this year. Kaitlin wasn't too much into dying the eggs yet this year but she liked putting the stickers on them.

Easter morning we got up and hunted for eggs around the house. We had one rule. Ryan could only find eggs that were above his waiste. If they were lower than his waist then the bunny left them for Kaitlin. They both did a really great job. Ryan was stumped by two of the eggs but with help from daddy he found them. Later that day we had a nice dinner and a little fish fry. Chris had been out on his friends boat the day before and they caught some flounder. He shared it with 2 of our neighbors since the kids and I don't eat fish. :)

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we had an easter egg hunt at one of the ladies homes that's in our mom's group. It was such a nice day out. I'm glad that Kaitlin go to wear her new froggie dress. I had to bribe her to wear it. She's not really into dresses unless it's her idea of course. This year Kaity learned that there's sometimes chocolate inside the candy eggs. She wanted to open all of them and eat the treats! After we got home and she took a nap I had to hide the eggs!

Happy Birthday Jack

Mom and Jack came to vist the next weekend just after Jack's birthday. I made him some beef stew for Friday nights dinner. I also made a chocolate chocolate cake which everyone enjoyed!! We sang happy b-day and opened some gifts. Jack always gets chocolate chip cookies from me and what every else as a present. He has a "refillable" jar at home that I gave him. He gets it filled pretty often. Saturday was a gorgeous day so we played outside with the kids almost all day. We went out to dinner on Saturday to Kelly's. Sunday mom and Jack left. We all had a good visit. It's always short but nice too see them.
