Easter Egg Hunts

Last night we went over to the Evan's home to have a Easter/Birthday celebration. We had a yummy turkey dinner. I mean yuuummmy. After eating, the kids went out and did an Easter egg hunt. Cooper went out first, but he wasn't really interested in eggs, just checking out the surroundings.

This goes in my mouth right?

And they're off! It's so funny watching them hunt for eggs. They're here, then there, then over there.

A Golden Egg! I'm too busy to really show you Mom cause I'm hunting down eggs.

Theirs one right behind you.

Got it.

Steven & Jake: Theirs one right around here. Really close. (Under the cardboard) After about a minute of them saying the same thing, Savannah picked up the cardboard. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

Holding their loot.


Then the adults had a hunt. That was fun. Jake hides eggs really good.

Steven.....

He got the most, of course.

Checking out the loot.

After all the fun we came in and had cake and ice cream to celebrate Larissa and my birthdays. After Larissa and I blew out the candles, the girls wanted to do their own set. Then some of us played a game and the kids played. The kids also played, "Let's go to the potty" the whole night.

The Scrunchy Nose Trait

This is a commonly used face between Mommy, Savannah and Cooper.

Easter Outfits

These are the kids Easter outfits for this year. We were in a hurry today so Mom & Dad didn't match today and Savannah's hair wasn't curled, but I plan on taking better ones in the coming weeks. Just wanted to share these.

I kid you not, Cooper LOVED walking on this treadmill. He wouldn't stay away from it. He was giggling and laughing so much that I ran to get the camera and of course when I start filming he doesn't do it anymore. It is just so funny because he's walking super fast and just so little.

Birthday Celebrations

On my Birthday my Mom watched the kids for most of the day and Carter and I went out. I mainly wanted to do some things that needed to get done and do a little shopping. I thought about a movie, but opted against it. Besides, we had a movie at home that we decided to watch that evening. Anyway, for lunch we went to one of my favorite places, Cafe Zupas. They have yummy salads! Then we had to return something to Children's Place and found something else for Cooper. Cute! Then we went and got 2 new tires for our car. At Christmas time we got 2 but needed 2 more and it was time to get them. While they worked on our car we walked over to Best Buy and wandered around and bought "Princess and the Frog" for Savannah for Easter. Shhh...After our car was done we went to Walmart to purchase new glasses for both of us. (Upon walking into Walmart I spotted $4 Ugg knock offs! Sweet! Purchased!) This was one of the things I really wanted to do. We both need glasses so bad and I wanted to try to find a cute pair. It was more of a hassle trying to get our prescription transferred from Target and we ended up not being about to finish our order that day. I went back Friday to finish the order and pick out a different pair of glasses because apparently the ones I wanted can't be done in my prescription. They can't go higher than -5.00 and one of my eyes is -5.25. Horrible! Anyway, so after looking at glasses we went to Roberts Crafts to try to find something, which we couldn't find. Then we went to Old Navy and I found a cute pair of shorts and Hallelujah!! a cute pair of sort-of-skinny short jeans. So excited! After that we went back to my Mom's to pick up the kids and go get some Chinese! There is a new place that just opened up around the corner from our house and we really wanted to try it. Ronald and my Mom ended up getting pizza at the place next door and then joined us for dinner and some goodies. Savannah fell asleep on the way over to get food and sleep the rest of the night, so I didn't even get a picture with her. And she looked so cute too. We put Cooper to bed and watched "Did you hear about the Morgans?", and I fell asleep with about 30 minutes left of the show. Carter told me how it ended in the morning. Anyway, it was a fun day just spending it with my hubby and doing whatever, without chasing kids around and giving them snacks all day. Thanks for watching them Mom.

On Friday Grandma Barbara and Kacey came over to watch and play with the kids for a couple hours so that Mommy could get some things done. I was able to do a few things, plus Barbara helped us make our first loaf of bread in our bread machine AND she fixed our vacuum. Oh, that was funny. She cracked that thing open and worked on it and out came one of the plastic jalapenos from the kitchen set. We thought maybe that was it, but after a few more rounds of turning it on/take it apart/wiggle stuff out, a TON of stuff came out of it. I'm so glad it's fixed now and that we didn't buy a new one; we were seriously contemplating it. Kacey painted Savannah's nails which she was SOOO excited about.


We celebrated our Nephew Austins 16th Birthday on Friday night at Brick Oven. Yum. Afterward we went to Shelby and Steven's house and just hung out for awhile. When all of them wanted to go get "New Moon" at midnight we left and came home. I've got to go get my copy today! One of the funniest parts of the night was watching Cooper walk really fast on the treadmill and laugh while doing it.

It's been a fun few days!

While Looking At Glasses.....

.....it just had to be done.

I'm sick of sick kids!! I don't want to wash sheets and towels and change pajamas 3 times in one night, and be thrown up on. I want to sleep through an entire night without being awaken.

Chuck And The Cheese

We went to Chuck E Cheese today with Aunt Lesli, Aunt Larissa, Uncle Jake, Acacia and Grandma Barbara. Savannah had been talking about it since 6:30 this morning. She was super excited. She wanted to get lots of ID cards (above), which really is a pretty cool thing and it's only 1 token, and she wanted to ride in the car a lot. I love her face while playing air hockey with me and that she totally got on the table. I know she could have played all day, but she is currently napping at 6:30 at night, so she was tired. I know Cooper enjoyed himself too because he got some yummy treats and was so excited about it. Fun times.

My Sweet Babies

I was in the mood to take pictures today and I came across this older shirt of Savannahs and this beanie. I never realized that they totally match, so I was all over that. Cooper wasn't much for taking pictures today. He's still kind of cranky and irritated. Savannah got one smile out of him. I really love this first one of Savannah the most. I also love how Photobucket can make the picture look old and I don't have to figure out how to do that on my own. Sorry they're super big; i don't feel like messing with each one to get them smaller. Just click on it and you can see the whole picture since it's cutting some off. Enjoy my precious babies!!

The Few Pictures We've Taken Lately

I felt like dressing her really preppy that day.

Before Cooper's haircut.....
After the haircut. What an ordeal. It's not very good, believe me. I'm actually looking at his hair right now and see all these places it needs to be fixed and trimmed. We cut it two Sundays ago so it's had time to grow a little and show the madness. Did I mention Carter and I did it? Not sure if we'll attempt that again.
