APRIL FOOL'S DAY

The kids didn't have school today, so I wasn't really planning on tricking them today.  But I guess they had some things in mind for me...
First, I woke up to the furniture being moved around and things being put in all of the wrong places in the kitchen...this thoroughly confused me at first because I really wasn't expecting them to do anything and I was still half asleep...

 Then, they tried to get me with this when I got out of the shower...didn't work, too obvious...
Next, they tried getting me with peanut butter on the doorknobs.  Though I noticed this knob before I touched it, they got me later with the laundry room door...lol!
This trick I didn't even notice till the next day,  Jaxon went in to go to potty and ended up going on the plastic wrap across the toilet.  He came and told me about it, so we got a good laugh.  Not sure why they put macaroni on it???  Nice job girls, you got me!!!

 Just had to put this pic on that was taken on Saturday.  It's almost like an April Fool's joke because they look so much alike and I kept confusing them with each other all day!!  Kaitlyn now has lighter hair and she wore her nerd glasses that day...



EASTER 2013

On Saturday, we gathered with the family to color the easter eggs at Autumn's house...





After that, we all headed to the park for the annual eater egg hunt...




That night, we got all of the baskets out....
and Kyra got the Easter Bunny's snacks ready...
 Easter Morning!!
                                     
                                     
                                     
Lookin for the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid....44 of them!

Went to Ann's house for the traditional egg hunt...



                                     
After church, we came home and tried out the new kites...
Jaxon was having gun holding onto his kite while jumping on the tramp...
Soon, it was time to eat as the family gathered at our house for Easter dinner...(notice Kyra in the next few pics..lol!)





                                      Then, it was time for another egg hunt...woohoo!!
 Soon, because the wind was coming up pretty good, the kids got out the sheets and used them as parachutes....

 Lastly, we ended the night with a game of Wackee 6, then Apples to Apples...

 HAPPY EASTER!!!!



















                                     








Jaxon and Laevin

Laevin's been hanging out at our house lately, which has been nice for Jaxon.  I love that he finally has a boy to play with, instead of just girls all the time!  They get along really well and they love the same things, too!



 They also look a lot alike...LOL!!!

Kaitlyn's Hair Experiment

March 30, 2013 - We went to Powell today and I let the kids each pick something at the store to buy.  Kaitlyn chose hair color.  She's been wanting to do this for awhile, but I've been hesitant.  This was the first time she's ever done anything like this before.  Here's the before picture...
Lovely little bonnet for the highlights...
                                      
 W only highighted the top and side portions of her hair...
                                      

And colored the underneath section a really dark brown... At this point I'm thinking, this is going to be a disaster and I was prepared to have to run to Lovell for more hair dye to fix it...
After rinsing and drying, she decided she loved it!!
 I really like it too, but I do have to say I am very surprised it turned out so well since I have never done this on someone else before.  I'm sure she'll want to do this all the time now!
