Ponytail

Natalie finally has enough hair to pull back into a ponytail. These pictures aren't the best. Natalie doesn't stay still for very long anymore, now that she is walking. :(

I love her face in this picture. This is her "cheese" face.

I finally got the cutest video of natalie shaking her head. She does this all the time, it is soooo funny. I am surprised she doesn't fall over when she is walking and shaking her head. Oh wait....she does. :)

Soccer and easter eggs

I know I am a slacker, but it seems that whenever I get life somewhat organized, it falls apart again. And this blog, seems to take the back burner a lot.

Soccer

Cody wanted to play soccer this year. Fine by me. I made sure to ask him several times whether he wanted to play or not. Every time was a "yes". I told him that if I signed him up and bought all of the stuff, then he had to finish the season. He couldn't quit in the middle. He said okay, and I signed him up. Bought all of the stuff, and we went to our first practice. He did okay. Being in kindergarden, they don't keep scores in the games, so they are really just learning how to play the game, and the rules and stuff. After his first game, he decided he didn't want to play anymore, because he didn't get to kick the ball, and he doesn't like running. I told him too bad, and he will finish the season. Luckily there are only 3 games left. He is in the red socks. Doesn't he look so enthused...

EASTER EGGS

We colored easter eggs today. Some of them came out really cool. Some of them....not so much. :)




See the pretty one in the front that is 4 different colors? Yeah....I did that. :) Cody did the top row of eggs. Jacob had the middle row, and I had the 4 in the bottom row.


Can you tell where Jacob was sitting?

Spring Break

I know this is a little late, but I am just now getting back into the groove of things after being on vacation for 11 days. It was nice to get away. I loaded the car, picked Cody up early from school, and headed out of town. We drove to Vegas, and had a little pit stop, so the boys could get out of the car a bit and stretch their legs. We then got back into the car and headed to Lake Havasu City. We stayed with my mom for 2 nights. We went to the beach and played in the sand. Natalie wasn't too sure about it at first, but after a few seconds, she didn't mind it, and was putting the sand on her own feet. It was cute.

We then headed to Phoenix. Our final destination for the week. We got to my dad's house, and unloaded the car a bit, and off to Cayden's birthday party we went. The kids had fun playing, and I enjoyed catching up with my brothers and SIL's and my aunt and sister.

We did so much stuff while we were there. We went to different parks, and we went to the zoo twice. The boys and I got to pet some sting rays. That was sooooo cool. They are really rubbery, but in a soft way. Really hard to explain. They had almost like that craft foam feel to them.

We went on a "train" ride. It was actually the Lightrail system in Phoenix, but the boys thought it was a train since it was on tracks. They didn't care what the real name was.

And, my wonderful, talented SIL took GORGEOUS pictures of my kids. *Andrea Whittle Photography*

I am trying so hard to get my hubby to move to Phoenix. At the moment, he just won't budge. :( Oh well. I guess I will be spending money driving down there then. The trip back was very long, and I did it all in one day. It wouldn't have been possible without the DVD player though. That thing is sooooo handy. I really want to get one installed in my car, but.....it will take a lot of convincing to spend that much money.
