Tools.

I'm just wondering how little boys know how to work tools!? Gavs wanted to change the batteries on his train. And so he tried. All by himself. I thought it was too cute. Or studly? Or manly!?

Glee.

Love it. Love {him}. I need to find the first eight episodes. Anyone have them. They are NOT on the internet. Thanks.

Day from HELL.

Yes Mom. I did put hell. But I didn't say it in a swearing matter. It is just the best way to describe how the day went! So! I posted this a little on the SJJ blog but I will go into detail a bit more... maybe!

The day started with the skirt I needed to finish for Makenna. It took a lot longer than it should have, and then I needed to add a little something to Kenna's shirt. Anyway, the house was a mess when I woke up and it just went down hill from there. I decided to be a nice mommy and take the kids swimming, but when we got there it was way too cold. I should have just left, but thought I would get in the hot tub with the kids. Whining, whining, whining was all I heard. We packed up, came home so Gavs could take a nap and Kenna could get ready for them. The shirt I just bought ended up looking hideous on me, so I left in the middle of trying to get Kenna ready to go get a shirt. It was just pure chaos. When we got there, we were all WAY past ornery except my cousin who took the pictures. I love them! Even if we only got one of Gavin smiling until the very end. And it was seriously the very end. Kenna got threatened her life a few times (well, more like NO BUG JUICE! NO DESSERT! NO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU SMILE!) Glad it was over and I got a few I liked.

Go to www.mfelt.blogspot.com for all of her info and stuff! She is really, really good! (and I'm not saying that because she is my cousin) Here are some pics that I love.

Twins?!

No. They don't look like twins, but this picture looks a lot like Gavin. Or so I think. Be the judge yourself. BTW. It is my little brother on the right side.

Fashionista.

This is the outfit Kenna put on today. Isn't it H.O.T!? Unfortunately, we didn't go anywhere for her to wear it.. The Cinderella socks are my favorite part.

The Grandma.

It was my Grandma's birthday in March. I was going to do a special post on her back on her birthday, but I didn't. So here I am writing one now. She is seriously one of my favorite people ever.

Easter Extravaganza.

Easter has come and gone once again. This is probably the only holiday that works for us in our favor with our family situation. We do Easter with my family on Saturday and with Brent's family on Sunday. We don't have to battle the "time" issue and I love it.

SO! Saturday morning, I took the kids over to Janalyn's house to color eggs and finish my cupcakes I was supposed to take to the Staheli Family picnic. I made them, Kenna colored some eggs, and we took off to the picnic. We got up there and it was fun as usual! This is about the only holiday where we see all of my mom's side of the family and that means there is A TON of food. We had chicken, about five different salads, dutch oven potatoes (which were to die for, thanks Janet's familia) and too many desserts to count (which were all heavenly). We had the usual Easter Egg hunt and lucky for the kids there were no eggs were hidden under cow pies this year! We packed up, left and the kids slept on the way home!

SUNDAY morning.... the kids woke up and went to find their Easter baskets. They got fishing poles and swim stuff. I got them breakfast and thought I would go get back in bed for a minute... Mind you, I hadn't taken pictures of them and their baskets. WARNING: Don't go back to bed and have your husband asleep on the couch when their is Easter grass around... Not a pretty sight to wake up to!

Once the mess was cleaned up, we made potatoes and more cupcakes for the Martin Easter dinner which was fabulous! We ate, did the Easter egg hunt, a Humpty Dumpty Egg Drop, and an egg throw that I unfortunately ate the egg before I could get too into the game. Stupid me.

Anyway, we had a good time and Easter I'm sure next year will roll around quick enough!!!

Pictures to follow. I can't get them to work right now.
