Hope everyone had a good Easter. We had a really nice weekend. On Saturday we had my dad's family get together at my uncles which is a block away. It was nice to see everyone and there are always lots of little ones running around so we had an egg hunt for them. They had plenty of candy and sugr that day. My parents were planning on coming up on Sunday to go to church and have breakfast and spend some of the day with us but my mom got sick in the middle of the night so only my dad was able to come. We still had a good time even though we all wished Grandma could have made it. We went to chuch and them Jason and I made breakfast while my dad played with the kiddos. After breakfast we hid some eggs for the kids to find, again they were filled with candy, like they needed any more sugar. After that we spent the rest of the day doing nothing but enjoying the beautiful spring day. I have LOTS of pictures but I will not get around to uploading them right now.

Dance Picture 2010

doesn't she look older than 7 in this picture.
Her little dance outfit is so short, she tried it on for Jason and he asked where the rest of it was.

Runza

After church one Sunday we were hungry and it was only like 10:30 so the only thing that was open was like McDonalds (yuck) and Runza so we went to Runza and had a really ggod time. Kinda sad how a trip to church and Runza was the highlight of my week but oh well.

I know, I know long time no post

I havent blogged for over a month. So I guess its time for an update. We will start with 'My Mini", she is finally walking, she had been able to walk since she was one but has refused to use it as her main source of travel. I think its because she can crawl much faster. She still kind of walks like a penguin, but its awfully cute. She is such a joy. It is very obvious that she is the baby of a larger family because she is extremely spoiled. All she has to do is whine and Big Brother and Big Sister (or me) are right there to please her every need and want. She still would prefer to be carried rather than get somewhere on her own which as the baby I rather enjoy. At her last doctor appt in early March she weighed in at exactly 20 lbs so she is still pretty petite. She has been sick alot lately and spent the night last night in the ER, the poor pumkin has a full blown sinus infection and is on lots of medicine, but she is catching up on sleep today so hopefully that combined with the medicine will kick the infection. Carter is really enjoying Preschool and absolutely adores his teachers. He is constantly talking about them andrepeating what they say. He has lots of friends at school, but his best friend moved to Grand Island so he was pretty upset about that. He is learning alot, he knows all his alphabet, can write his name and is learning ot spell his last name, poor kid. Know all his colors and shapes, his numbers he has difficulty with. He will be going ot Preschool one more year, he is old enough to go to Kindergarten but I dont think he is ready. soccer will start in a few weeks so he has his cleats and everything he needs to play radily accessible. Jason has coached his team, they both enjoy it. He also is old enough to play T-Ball this summer. He is incredibly coordinated and is gonna be a major athlete, I dont think there is gonna be a sport that he is not good at. Hailee is in 1st grade and is being challenged on a daily basis. She is very smart but is a tad bit lazy. They have a spelling test every Thursday and Friday and she was doing awful on the tests and I knew she knew how ot spell them because we would have a little test of our own the night before and she would rattle them off without any trouble. One day I got a thought in my head; bribery; For every five tests that she got 100% on she would get a reward of her choice. It worked, next parent teacher conference her spelling average had gone from a 71% to 100%. Like I said a little lazy. Math she is an absolute genious she is so much like Jason it is unreal. She is still in dance at the same place but we added another class. She does Ballet, Tap, and clogging, her recital is at the end of April. She is pretty excited to wear her costume and get a little makeup on. Jason has a birthday coming up on Tuesday. He has been veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery busy at work, which is a sign of good things. It makes for really long days for both of us.

Random Brooklyn

We had the suitcase sitting on my parents living room floor so she just came and sat in the suitcase, she honestly will pop a squat anywhere.

Hailee and her Papa

My dad gave Hailee a rose for Valentine's day and she was really proud of it.
