HERE WE GO!!

So its been a while and I have A LOT of catching up to do, I'll try to go in order...these are a few pics of my finger painters, I don't recommend trying this at home unless you want colored walls, clothes, floors, and maybe a little on the paper if you're lucky :)

I got a new pair of shoes a while back & Kenedi thought they were for her, she is such a girl...

My fam came in town over their spring break, we had a great time. They went boarding & we took the kids to the Denver Aquarium. This is Tristan with Chance, he came with BJ & Katherine. It was the first time he had a BOY to play with instead of all his girl cousins, they had so much fun it was adorable!!
While at the aquarium, my dad thought it would be fun to try to pet the fish...I guess now he knows what the "Please do not touch the water" signs are for...
Toot toot & grandma hit it off big time, it was really cute, she didn't want me just "mee-maa"
"Pa-pa" and toot looking through the bottom of an aquarium...
There's this spot at the end where you can pet the stingrays, here is a rear view of our group, I thought it was kinda funny, you can see the little feet dangling too :)
Me & the kiddos drove back to good 'ole TEXAS with my fam so that I could go to work & they could play with some of their favorite people....or toys whatever :)
Chance had so much fun playing with the big boys, he was in boy heaven! Doesn't Dustin look thrilled to be in this picture?
Almost everyday the kids wanted to feed the horses, this is them feeding Ozzy some carrots
Kenedi & Uncle Nick, who she quickly took a liking to, she even went with him to his friends house a few times.
Nick & Hannah....awww so cute...
It seems like every year we are in Texas for at least one of my kiddos' birthdays, Kenedi turned 2 while we were there. She wasn't sure what to make of the candles.
The birthday supporters :)

Once we got the candles off she thoroughly enjoyed herself (notice the hair: the humidity gave her a fro big time)
After the cake we all piled in the van & took her to Walmart to pick out her own presents. It was really fun just to give her free reign & see what she went for, she picked out a bubble machine which she LOVES!!
The town of Mead (where we live) had a little town Easter egg hung, it was really cute (and cold, what the heck its freakin April right? It snowed today, I repeat, what the heck??)
The kiddos with their loot, I was surprised they did so well, especially in the 0-3 year age group, there were some really aggressive PARENTS trying to make sure their kids got the most, I almost had to throw some elbows...
After the hunt we went home and colored eggs, again, not necessarily recommended (notice Kenedi is topless)
On Easter morning we were killing time since church now starts at 1:00 (Ugh!) so me & Chance made this cute little bunny cake, this is definitely the extent of my craftiness (and to be honest, anybody that took home-ec sp? at Midlothian Middle School probably recognizes this)
I am really sorry, I don't know why there are no pics of my handsome hubby, he spent the last month or so flying all over the U.S. and I had the camera, so for all those wondering, he is still part of our family, I just don't seem to have any pics taken lately :)

All ready for Easter Sunday! Aren't they so cute?
Chance carried around his new (my old) scriptures all morning, but when we actually got to church he forgot them...it was devastating.
Apparently I am not the only one who liked these cute, cheap, matching outfits since half of the kids in my ward had on the same outfits! It was actually quite funny :)
So the Easter pics were taken on Sunday, it is Friday, and look how Chance how to go to school...there is something wrong when it is raining & snowing in April.

FINALLY!!! Love the new pictures. I made that cake last year, looks exactly the same! So so cute in their Easter clothes, love Kenedi's hair!

Love the update. I def see more and more young in Kenedi. Her hair is so cute. The cake, I am impressed. You are awesome. Easter here was quite boring this year, seeing how I couldn't walk. No huge egg hunt for us. I can't wait to come see you guys and your home. Hopefully we aren't too much of a burden. We also look forward to see the kids in a couple of weeks. We will miss you but will be excited to see what you are staying behind to do.

That must have taken hours to upload all those pictures! Do you have a secret way to do it fast?
