Fun kids...cute pics!

Dad had fun with the kids this weekend while mommy worked. I hate leaving these guys, but since its only for a couple days out of the month, its a great opportunity for daddy to get some one on one time with the chillins'.

Hangin' out before bed with dad.

Awwwwwww! Daddy favorite.

While working on making my new bookshelves (pictures later) Kya wanted to paint too....so of course I had to let her. She loved it!!

Then there's Zander...apparently he is easily entertained. Carl hooked up his pacifier to distract Z while we got ready to go out....it worked.

Easter

We had a quick and fun Easter. I had to work on Saturday, but in the morning we had a little Egg Hunt in our yard. Invite some friends and sent the kids out for fun. Kya loved it...she really gets into this. I love to watch her have fun.

The kids waiting to go out and find. Don't they looked so excited.

She's ready!
Of course he looks thrilled...he couldn't wait to go out. He is growing too fast.
While we waited for the eggs to dry after dying them...we played a memory game. Kya has really gotten into "matching" things.

Decorating eggs.

This was kind of just a fun thing. One morning we were getting some house work done when I heard a loud noise right above our house. A helicopter landed right behind the school, which of course was right behind our house. Kya had to go see it...she wanted to fly in it...me too. But she had to call daddy and tell him about it....

This is what we did this weekend

So, our next project...what we worked on all weekend...we are egressing (sp) our basement windows. When we are done, our house will be a five bedroom house. Wahoo!

Here are the before pics and some pics of us working. Thank you to D (Carl's brother) for all your help with the work. And thank you to Aunt A and Grandma M for watching the kids...it was a HUGE help.

Kya had fun when she got home to see this big machine in the yard.


Our concrete cutter...that was a bit scary to watch.

The hole is cut....

I had fun on the mini X too.

I even got to run it...fun!

Knocking out the wall. Taking out some aggression, really.

Puttin in the window well.

What a hard worker...Carl, you rock!

And then of course a little of Zander....he found himself in the mirror. He is such a ham, even with himself.

2 months old...weekend getaway...and great weather (finally)!

Zander had his 2 month check up and his first shots. Poor guy, he didn't like those (who does?) His statistics:

10 lbs. 14 oz.= 40%

23 in. long = 70%

15 in head circ = 35%

So he is little and tall with a little head.

This video is of Zander while we waited 50 minutes for the doctor. He is so funny, talks a lot lately and laughs all the time, at least when you can get his attention.

Weekend Getaway

This past conference weekend, I was in Park City with my mom and all but one sister. We even got to spend some time with little bro and dad. It was a girls getaway. Lucky Zander, he got to go too. But he was the only child there. We had a lot of fun. Little arm wrestling, and found out that Jacque is a rock star (she wooped us all at the arm wrestle). I have pics of that, but she would kill me. We even had a little push up contest, some hair dying, conference watching, shopping at the outlets, movie watching and just some good 'ol sister and mom time. Thanks for a great weekend all.

Here is the condo we stayed in.

Me and Z.

Then there was today...

The weather is finally enjoyable. Kya, Zander and I went for a nice walk, get my exercise in. Then we got to the garden. Kya helped me weed while Zander slept. Here are the before pics of the garden, after won't be for a while. I love being out in the sun. Hope spring sticks around.
