The Zoo

Since the weather has been so nice this week I thought the Zoo would be a fun place to go. The kids really enjoyed it, we had a great time with Auntie Kelly and Kendall and Auntie Mel and Grandma (GG). Thanks Mom and Mel for all your help, I could never do it without you. :)

Over the last week.....

Last Saturday we did the MS 5K walk with Rachel and Joe and the kids. It was alot of fun, and all the kids were so good. It felt good to support everyone that struggles with MS.

All bundled up and ready to go!!

Chandler and his buddy/cousin Sicily

Chandler was cheering us all on.

And this is just because this guys hair is awesome, he was in front of us and I just had to snap a pic......check out that chunk of hair coming out of the middle of his head!! :)

Then it was Easter. Jon's mom always does an Easter egg hunt the Saturday before Easter for the kids, they really enjoy it. And then we go to my moms for Easter Sunday dinner.

Charli gettin' into all her loot!

This was the first year Chandler really got into dying the eggs, he loved it!!

He will never sit still for a picture, but at least Kendall will.

Charli in her Easter dress....little princess!




Then it was Britney!! My friend Taylor and I went to a Britney concert together about 7 years ago, so we thought it would be fun to go again together. I must say, this was my third Britney concert and it just wasn't as good as her others, but we still had a blast and our seats were great.

The "ringleader"

One of her many costume changes!!

The Pussycat Dolls were awesome....I think I enjoyed them more than Britney!

Chandler's 3rd Birthday Party!!

I can't believe my little boy is three already, time goes by too fast!! So since we just had Charli's birthday party at our house 6 weeks ago, I decided to let Chuck E. Cheese clean up the mess this time. The kids had alot of fun playing on all the germ infested games and rides, and of course all the parents could think was, "Great, the sickness is gonna start all over again....where are the wipes?!" But I guess you just have to let them run wild every now and then. Chuck E. Cheese is after all the place "Where a kid can be a kid!" :) Happy Birthday Chan-Man!!

Chandler and cousin Kendall

Kendall and Charli wondering,

hmmmm, how are we gonna get up there?

We did it!!

So when Chuck first came out and was dancing for the kids Chandler was all into it, then when he got too close.......

He wasn't too happy about it!! :)

Charli was gettin' into it!

Cousin Sicily

Charli and Kendall loved the horse.

Mmmmm, cake!!

Poor baby girl!!

So the sickness definitely hit our house this year, and poor Charli got the brunt of it. We have been so lucky with Chandler, he is almost three and has never had anything more than a little cold, not even one ear infection. So when Charli's nose started running, and she had a little cough I just thought maybe she had a bit of a cold. But as her cough got really deep I took her to the doctor and they tested her for RSV, luckily that came back negative, but the doctor said she definitely had bronchitis, poor thing. There isn't much you can do for that but the usual humidifier in the room and elevate their head while they sleep. She started to get better and then 4 days later woke up (or tried to wake up) with pink eye in both eyes!! It was so sad, I started crying, they were crusted shut. Back to the doctor we went. "How did she get this, she doesn't even go to daycare." But the doctor said it is so contagious, she could have gotten it from a shopping cart. Yuck!! The eyedrops her doctor prescribed were amazing, they started clearing up within 24 hours. Luckily Chandler didn't get it, but I got a back up bottle just in case. Needless to say it has been a long couple weeks and we haven't gone anywhere, therefore the lack of blogging!! :)

So sad!! :(
Our poor beaten child!!

Good as new!! We can see her big blue eyes, Yeah!!!

Just having fun in the bath!! I wouldn't let them take one together for like a week, that's never as much fun.

I still can't believe she's one!!

I recently had Charli's one year pictures taken. It is crazy how fast time goes by, my baby is getting too big. :( My sister and I like to get my niece Kendall and Charli's pictures taken together since they are so close in age. They did pretty good, but as Chandler has proven, it gets alot harder to take pictures as they get older, they are not wanting to look at the camera and you are making a fool of yourself trying to get them to smile. Oh well, they still turned out so cute. :)

They were being stinkers so we had to bribe them with suckers, and they just happened to match their outfits.

This was so funny, we had to tell the photographer to take it. It looks like Charli is saying "Kendall I can't believe your doing that, I am so embarassed."
