Easter Eggs

Our little pile of famiy eggs.

Megan just wanted to throw the eggs in the cups without coloring or dipping and it was driving Mikayla crazy! Mikayla liked using the white crayon and holding the egg halfway in with a dipper and changing to a different color. Such a funny difference in the ages!

Meggy loved looking for the eggs and thought it was so fun to find them all over Magaw and Papa's backyard.

Mikayla checked each egg she found to see if it was one that she made or not.

She was so excited when the found the Golden Egg full of coins! So exciting!

This was hilarious! Mikayla found an egg on the grass and picked it up. She shook it and realized nothing was inside. She held it up and said, "Magaw! Did you eat the candy that was in this egg? It's empty!" Magaw said no and Mikayla said, "Fine, Megs can have it," and threw it back on the grass and walked off. We laughed so hard! What a funny little girl.

Need a Use For Those Orphan Socks?

We all have them. Somehow with almost every load of laundry one sock jumps out of the dryer and is never to be found again. Well, I now use them as my dusting/cleaning rags. They fit your hand perfectly and work really well for cleaning blinds. Ours had who knows how many years of dust on them and I completely procrastinated cleaning them for all the 6 months we've lived here. Last week I dipped a sock in warm water mixed with vinegar and swiped 'em all clean. I read that the vinegar is "supposed" to keep dust away longer. we'll see...

Mikayla is such a big helper sometimes and she asked to put on a sock to help me clean. She did a good job and I'm glad she likes to offer her child labor for free. So bust out those single socks and swipe some blinds, they'll look 10 million times better!

I Just Love Her Little Panty Bum!

Megan was dancing around in her Elmo panties the other day and it was cracking me up! Kids have no sense of modesty at this age and she would be happiest if she ran around in only panties all the time! So cute!

Tevin as Gaston

Here's the girls posing on the set. They were very excited for their backstage tour after the show!

My nephew Tevin was in Beauty and the Beast and did an amazing job as Gaston! We got to see him perform in Colorado and the performance absolutely blew us away.

It was Mikayla's first play/musical to see and she LOVED it! I'm blaming it on pregnancy, but no joke, when he came on stage and said his first lines I totally teared up. It's not even my kid! But he did an amazing job and got lots of laughs and lots of cheers.

Some of the amazing costumes during the "Be Our Guest" song.

Gaston with Belle near the end of the play.

All the family who came to watch Tevin. Proof that I came on this trip! Can you spot the two preggos? (Hint: the ones covering their bellies that aren't quite big enough yet to look like anything but fat!)

Another Trip to Colorado!

We went in August to CO and we went back again last week to visit family. It was terribly cold and windy, but beautiful as always. This is sleepy Mikayla waiting for the plane at 4:30 am!

This is how we roll. A little dramamine works wonders on children!

They had fun on the plane but man were they sleepy!

Trent and Megs resting. Our last trip while Megan is still free and can sit on our laps. Next month she's the full price. :(

In Colorado, Megan and her cousin Bryna. The little kissing cousins had lots of fun playing together and hugging and were just plain adorable together.

Mikayla and her cousin Emily had lots of fun all week.

The all-girl plus Trent wrestling match. He didn't stand a chance! :)

At Pump-it-Up! They all went down the big slide together, laughing the whole way.

Mikayla, Megan, and Grandma in the lazy river at the rec center pool. We had a great trip and had a lot of fun playing with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and siblings. The best part for the adults is when the kids go to bed and the card games come out! Oh, if you ever go to Greeley, you have GOT to go to the rec center. They have a kiddie splash pool area with small slides and sprinklers, a big lazy river, a pool with bball hoops, and two amusement park-sized slides for the grownups. It is awesome and it's all indoors so they can use it year-round. Totally jealous. A fun time was had by all!

Who's #1?

I AM!!! Yeah baby!! Oh, whoops, I mean, UNC. :) Trent's family puts all their picks for March Madness in on an espn site and then we watch to see who out of the 22 people made the most correct picks. Well, as it turns out, this year, my bracket won! Yep, that means I beat my bball lovin', espn-watchin', all-stats knowin', college hoops lovin' hubby of mine for the 7th year. What can I say? When you're good, you're good. hahaha

Don't let the post fool you, I made the picks in my bracket and then had no idea who I picked to win the final game until today! I didn't even know the final game was on until I asked Trent and he said if N. Carolina wins, I win it all. And how many games did I pick correctly? Well, let's just say I got 1340 points out of 1600. Would've loved for that to have been my SAT score.... too bad I didn't guess as well on that thing! :) Ahh, until next year...
