Hoppy Easter!
Every year we go to the Easter Egg Hunt at the zoo. This years was extra fun because Kyle "get's it" this year. And he was totally into it! His age group went first, and Alex and Cameron watched and cheered him on the whole time. Next was the big boys turn. They ran around like crazy guys, and got lots of eggs full of candy. We had a lot of fun! Hailey slept through the whole thing, but she had fun sitting by the water afterwards watching all the kids running around. Oh, and about the boys outfits.... they came straight from soccer, and neither one of them would change their clothes in the car. One day they will be embarrassed by this. Geeks!
Way to Go DAD!
April 10 was a great day. My dad quit smoking on December 31, 2008. April 10 was his 100 days smoke free!!! He smoked for ever 40 years, and I know it must have been awful trying to quit. We are all so proud of him for quitting! All of his grandkids look up to him so much, and I know that when they are old enough to realize what he did, they will look up to him so much more. It takes a very strong person to do it. Dad, we love you and are VERY proud of you!!!
Happy Birthday Kyle!
Happy Birthday Kyle!
Kyle turned 2 years old on April 2. They say it the terrible two's, right? So my question, what was with all the trouble when he was one? Kyle is a wild man, but his personality make him so cute. He can pull the funniest faces at you. He doesn't say a lot, but he can still knows just what to do to get everything he wants. He is quite easy going, yet very stubborn at the same time. He loves to show off. He thinks he is big. He keeps up with his brothers very well. I always tell them one day Kyle is going to waste you guys, they don't beleive me know, but just wait! Kyle is such a good big brother to Hailey. Happy Birthday Ky Ky!
Happy Birthday Alex!
Happy Birthday Alex!
Alex turned 6 years old on March 31. He was so excited for his birthday! I heard about it everyday for literally months. Both Alex and Cameron think their birthdays are like a major national holiday, so we do our best to make it great for them. He woke up to his favorite breakfast, potatoes, sausage, orange juice and "coffee", which basically is milk, chocolate and coffee creamer. He was extra anxious to go to school, because everyone knew it was his birthday. His original plan for the day was to go straight from the bus stop to Chuck E Cheese, then Baskin Robbins. For dinner he wanted Golden Corral, his favorite, and then stop by Cold Stone for more ice cream! Luckily for us all, just before school, he said he wanted to go swimming instead??? I asked why, and he said that when he was there last time, he noticed that you had to be 6 years old to get in the hot tub, and so now that he was six, he just wanted to get in the hot tub! What a funny kid! If I had half the memory that he has, I would be happy. He remembers EVERYTHING! Which, of course, is good and bad!
It really seems like the past 6 years have flown by. They have been GREAT! Alex is such a smart, funny, happy little man.
So I do have pictures from his wild birthday party, but....I downloaded them, and now I can't find them!! HaHa! Yes, I'm a loser! I'm sure I could ask Alex to find them for me when he gets home from Kindergarten!! He can navigate his way through the computer way better than me! If I need to know anything, he will say, just google it mommy. I will find him on the computer, sounding out words and typing them into google so he can get to the right websites. I'm telling you, the kid is smart, and I take full credit for it!!!!! So when the pictures show up, I will post them! Happy Birthday Slim!

I'm fully aware of it.....
I was not born to be a blogger. Either that, or there just aren't enough hours in the day. Perhaps the fact that I do have 4 kids under the age of 6 is part of it. It seems like so much has happened in the past few months. Hailey celebrated her very first Valentines Day. I did tell her she will enjoy the holiday a whole lot more when she has a boyfriend buying her gifts, and not her parents! And how boring is Valentines Day if you are not old enough to eat chocolate?? But, she did get some super cute princess sippy cups!! All Alex and Cameron cared about was getting presents. I am trying to teach them from a young age that Valentines Day is a girl holiday, a day to love the women in their lives (me), and not to expect gifts. But I must say, I did get the little men a few thing. It doesn't take much to make them happy!
Alex had a loose tooth for well over a month. It was so loose, it was NASTY! You could turn it, pull it, push it back, and that sucker would just stay in there! I took this picture, and literally like 2 minutes later, he was in the kitchen playing with his Pixos at the table, and you here him calmly yell, "Guys, my tooth fell out." That was it... no excitement in his voice, no running around the house screaming, nothing. I, of course, came running in to see, and he was still just playing at the table?? I guess it's not so cool to loose tooth number 2.
Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. What can you say about Kyle. Lets see. He thinks he is a big boy. He's still 1. He has the attitude of a 15 year old. Scary. He has almost no fear. Even scarier. He has to do everything by himself. Yes, everything. I talking, if a toys not working, he will go find a screwdriver and try to open it. If he wants to eat, he has to make it. When it's time to get dressed, don't even think about helping him, unless you want him to scream at you. And yes, there have been times he has been in public with a piece of clothing on backwards, but it's just not worth the fight! But, he by far is one of the funniest kids I have ever met. He stays up at night when the other kids are sleeping, and the kid shows off like you wouldn't believe. He will hide, and when you find him, he will growl at you like he is some sort of wild animal! He loves his baby sister more than anything. He has always been so sweet to her. I hope they will grow up staying so close. With all that said, I took this picture at 7:20 A.M. today. Kyle had to have gel and hairspray in his hair because Alex and Cameron did. The big boys were leaving for school, so of course, Ky wanted to go too. Next thing you know, he is by the garage door, wearing Cameron's shoes, and all he wanted to do was get on the bus. Poor guy!
Yes, this picture is out of order, but I have no clue how to move it, sorry!
Here is the first look at Alex with another hole in his mouth!
Ok, so I got the deal of a lifetime about a month ago for Hailey and Kyle. We are seriously set for live on diapers. In one week, I bought 207 packages of Pampers. Crazy is what you are thinking, right? Now this is the crazy part... brace yourselves for this. One morning during this particular week, I went to Albertsons to pick up 158 of the packages of Pampers that I had special ordered. I was in the store for a total of 45 minutes paying for my goods. I left the store with all the diapers, and the grand total, including tax was... $1.12 yes that's right, One Dollar and Twelve Cents!!
So go ahead and add me to the list of people causing the country to go into a recession!
My parents were here for Valentines Day. Hailey had a fun time playing with grandma!

So Big
In the past few days, it seems like Hailey has been getting a lot bigger. She has been sitting up really well. She looked so cute and proud to be sitting like a big girl tonight.
