Rainy Easter Weekend

It is Easter weekend there is no family here, and it is rainy and cold. Somehow it doesn't feel like it should be Easter. However we will make the most of it.

This morning Collins caught up on some much needed sleep and the kids and I played in the playroom. It was so cool to watch Wesley and Lawson play...wait for it...Barbies together. It was so sweet. Then the girls wanted to play dress up so we had fun with makeup and dress up clothes! Wesley had a good time dressing up at school for crazy hair day!!

Then for the first time EVER we went to the movie theater as a family to see Rio 2. It was cute!!

After that it was nap time.

I should also add Cailyn broke her pinky toe at a jump house on Friday so she is limping around pretty good and not able to wear shoes.

Hopefully it is warmer tomorrow for Easter. I hope you all have a great Easter!! It is a little different this year but we are loving being together and having a low key weekend!!!

Cailyn's Dirndl & Swimwear

Cailyn's many looks thanks to Nana & Dah!!

After the dirndl it was time for swimsuit modeling

No more training wheels!!

It is official...no more training wheels!! She taught herself!! I am so proud!!

Cailyn is going to take McKenna's lead and try to be a 4 year old who can ride a bike!!!!

Cailyn is 3 yrs old

Somehow in all the mix my little baby turned 3!!! She is 98% of the time a true delight and so incredibly happy!! Then there is the 2% she shows she is 3!!!

Cailyn loves to entertain people and be the center of attention. Her favorite statement these days are "I do it," "mine" and "come here, mommy".

Cailyn is potty trained through out the day and showing great signs night time pull-ups are a thing of the past.

She is tall but very slender. She could wear 18mo clothes if it wasn't for length. Otherwise she is a 3T.

Lawson and Cailyn are now sharing a bedroom. It is going very well and I am incredibly proud of both of them. The kids are super excited to have a playroom again.

A little more about Cailyn...

Favorite Color: purple

Favorite food- cereal

Favorite tv show- Barbie (on Netflix)

Total Diva!!!

Best Friend at school- Matthew (physically disable child at school) she makes sure he is always okay and protects him and makes sure he is never left behind)

Loves the camera!!

Interesting Fact- if you give C a bag with lots of zippers and 5 small items in it. She will open/close, place in/out, rearrange and talk it over in her language for min. Of an hour if not interrupted. It is fascinating to me!!

Here are some recent pics of our baby!!! Love you sweet, Cailyn!!!

Snow January 2014!!

We got snow and lots of it!!! According to my ruler we got 4.5" of snow last nigh. As normal, Collins is not here to join in the fun (he has to work LOTS of long hours) but we enjoyed it.

Here are a few pics. I have more but on the big camera. Lawson and Wes LOVE the snow. This snow was very powdery so a snowman was out for today at least.

Cailyn could live without the snow! To he credit she just got over the stomach bug and still not feeling 100% but MUCH better!!

Stay warm everyone!!

Flu Bug... Go away

Yes, the flu has for the first and hopefully the last struck our house!!! Wesley woke up Saturday with a headache but no fever. Then after a no energy basketball game Wesley went immediately to the couch never to get up. He still didn't have a fever but that changed that evening with spikes of a103 fever. Sunday he wasn't much better. We went to the doctors today and they confirmed we have a strand of Flu A(????)As of tonight (Monday) he has a lot more energy but still a horrible cough but no fever. He won't go to school tomorrow but we hope he will Wednesday (the last day of track-in) before a 3 weeks break :-/

Here is a picture at the Doctor's office. Sad but cute!!! Hopefully, no one else will get sick!!! Please say a little prayer for us!!!!

Wesley just turned 6 years old!!! On Dec 16th Wes had an unfortunate run in with a concrete corner. 7 stitches later he is as good as new with a nice scar!! He is a tough one!!!
Cailyn is still my outgoing one!! As she gets closer to 3 her true loves are coming through... Shopping and dancing.

Wesley's Soccer Season Update

Wesley is having a awesome season. The last 2 games Wesley has scores 5 goals in each game. Today's highlight was he scored the winning goal in the last 30 seconds and it was AWESOME!!! (Not that we we were keeping track) haha!! Thanks, Grammy and Pops for coming up for Wesley's game today.

Wesley's Soccer Team -Cougars

Wesley is in a different soccer league this year called CASL. It is suppose to be more competitive but I will be honest at this stage there is no difference. Wesley still really enjoys it and that is all that matters. I have to write this so I will remember later!

When Wes plays he keeps score (even though they don't) when a team scores he will run down the field with his arms by his side showing the numbers with ha fingers. He does this every time! He gets frustrated when the score gets above 5 for obvious reasons he only has 5 fingers.

Last game he made a score card for me to keep tally. Well
