Irony

Saw this over Christmas and had to snap a picture.

Well I didn't get any good Easter pictures with all of us cause Kyle had to spend the afternoon with one of our dogs at the emergency vet. He passed away the next morning. These were the best shots I could get of the kids in their outfits. The kids had a blast hunting for Easter Eggs.

Dying Easter Eggs

Our Experience with Vasoline

Most of you are probably wondering what in the heck is in my children's hair. A few weeks ago we had our first experience with Vasoline. Gavin and Madison decided to get into a tub of vasoline that I had sitting out (bad mistake). Gavin decided to bath himself in it as well as put half the tub on his hair. Wow what a nightmare it was to get that stuff out of their hair. Madison's was easy she just had a little bit in her hair so I only had to wash it 3 times versus the countless times I had to wash Gavin's hair (I lost count). Several friends and some internet research advised me to put cornstarch in their hair and then to wash it. So that is what is in their hair in the pictures below.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

Well we finally got a little bit of snow - I don't think we got as much as some areas (the disadvantage of living close to the lake) but we got enough that the kids could go out and play. This was their first experience with snow and Gavin loved it. He didn't want to come inside and loved running around in the snow. There were a few times where the snow was falling so hard the pictures don't do it justice. Madison was hit or miss I don't think she is old enough yet to really understand.

Monkey Business

I took the kids to Monkey Business for the first time and Gavin had a blast. His favorite was the large slide. At the end he got brave enough to go down by himself (thank goodness I don't know how much I could have walked up those stairs). Madison was not to sure about any of it.

Christmas

So this was by far the best Christmas Ever for Kyle and I - It is amazing to watch the kids and their reactions. They still didn't fully understand but next year should be a different story. Santa was good to all of us :) Gavin was really into trains this year so he asked Santa for trains and a train table. Madison still isn't real interested in anything yet but she got a baby doll and stroller. We had a great time with family over a two day period. We look forward to next year!
