Sorry it has been so long

The last six weeks has been very rough on us. With all of the medical tests Shane has had to endure and him not being able to drive and then the babies had a bad upper respiratory infections, we were doing good just to get our everyday household chores done. Things are finally looking up. All of the Neuro tests and Cardiac test have come back normal. It appears his "pass out" was just that. We will go to see the Neurologist one last time in May to put a close to all of this. And the babies are off breathing treatments and feeling much better.

They are growing so fast. Its hard to belive they will be two in one month. They are talking up a storm. They can say so many words and understand even more. Just this week they started putting two words together like "big bubble" or "help me". They love to help with the dishes after dinner. I wash and they rinse and put them in the dish drainer. What is so great now too is that I can take them all to the store now by myself with out a stroller. We hold hands and walk in it is so great.

I have posted several new blogs with pictures from the last six weeks. Enjoy!!!

Easter

Easter morning after church.



Oh what fun this Easter was. So much better than last year. We began our Easter activites on Friday with baking birds nest cookies. This was something my mom did with us every year and I was so excited to be starting with my children.

Then after dinner we stripped them down and dyed eggs. This was quite fun. Hayla wanted to crack the eggs like she was cooking. We had to convince her that we weren't cooking. Then after they had it down they thought it would be fun to splash in the dye. Oh what a mess. Their hands were solid bule and green and purple, but hey they had fun. ( On Sunday we gave them one to eat and they didn't like them)


Easter goodies from Grandma and Grandpa. (Shane's Parents)


Here they are hunting for eggs. Due to the rain it was very mushy outside so we had to hide them in the house. Everyone hid the eggs and then we gave the kids their basket and said ok go find an egg and put it in your basket, and the went to it. We didn't have to tell them twice. They were filling their baskets and when they were full they dumped them and started all over. Then when they realized there was candy inside they thought this was a great game.

Riding Horses

It is so much fun having horses right in the backyard and the kids love to go and feed them. As I have mentioned before Clayton is out little horseman. He would ride for hours if we let him. It has taken the other two much longer to get up the nerve to ride but they are finally getting to where they like it.

Hayla and Daddy Dylan and Uncle KimClayton and Uncle Kim Dylan being "Mr Stunt Man". He is such a dare devil.

Potty Time

We have officially begun potty training. They are all going potty in the little toilets every now and then. Big D woke up dry one Saturday and we took him straight to it and he went. Oh what a day it will be when we are done with diapers.

Our First Bubble Bath

The kids took their first bubble bath and after a little while they liked it. When we first put them in they kept saying " bubble, bubble". They are use to seeing regular bubbles that we blow and didn't understand that these were bubbles. Once they figured out how much fun they were we couldn't get them out of the tub.

Spring Break

We had a great time during spring break.

Lunch with Daddy!

We drove to Shane's work one day and took a picnic lunch. There is a little park just down the road where went ate lunch and then played until Daddy had to go back to work.

We planted a garden in the back yard. The kids thought it was great to dig in the dirt.

We went to the Gainesville Zoo!

This is not a big zoo it but it has quite a few animals and not a lot of people. We went with my sisters Katie and Anna, Anna's boyfriend and a friend from work and her little girl. It was so much fun.
