So many sweets, so little time!

My Sweeties!



These are some pics of our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Frank's house. Jae and Mac weren't the mighty egg hunters that their daddy had expected. Mackay liked to inspect each egg he picked up, while Jaelyn ran back and forth tripping over eggs. Needless to say the hunt took a while.


We also had 3 legged races, bubble blowing contest and basketball competitions. The older cousins got to hunt for their Easter surprises by digging through the straw. Jaelyn just had fun throwing it on everyone. Thanks for all the fun Grandma!!!

Egg Heads!

After days of begging (on Jaelyn's part) I finally got it together and we dyed Easter eggs. As soon as they were colored and 'stickered', Jaelyn said, "Now let's hide them." I was thinking, "Let's put them back in the fridge." I can usually only handle one big production each morning.

Jaelyn stopped momentarily for a smile, but for Mackay the stickers were serious business.

New Pictures

These our the kids birthday photos. Jae posed herself for most of the pics that were taken. The girl that helped us offered Jaelyn a job.

Mackay, on the other hand, was nothing but trouble. This pic turned out cute, but the rest of his poses looked about the same. Just different angles of a frown =) He is so cute, but when he doesn't get what he wants he can be such a stinker.

Mackay wasen't up for a group shot, but we got them on the bench and then Roger started tickling me behind the camera. The kids thought it was so funny.
We got smiles, but Jae and Mac kept their eyes on us.

Red Hot

So I am in Macys the other day. Jaelyn and Mackay were 'driving' the shopping cart. We were headed to the bread area and stopped to let an elderly man go in front of us (yes, I'm trying to teach my children to be polite =)). Just as the guy passed us, his pants (which I might add, were fitted with a belt) fell down to his knees to show off his chili pepper boxers. AAAHHHHHH! Thank goodness the guy was HOH because I had to laugh (I tried to stop it, but it slipped). He took a couple of steps, then leaned down to pull them up without even looking around. He never missed a beat which leads me to believe that it had happened before. "Cinch the belt up dude. It's there for a reason!" Luckily Jaelyn didn't notice. If she had seen it,she would still be talking about it and asking questions until next December. It sure got my heart racing. I felt like I was back at Sunshine Terrace. After my initial reaction to laugh, the thought went through my head, "Should I help him pull them up?" ------ I didn't.
