Easter Egg hunts year round

My kids love to play with the Easter eggs daily and hunt for them. Sandon likes to hide them and have Mom and Dad find them too! It's fun to watch them hunt for them until the halves end up pulled apart and found everywhere in the house. This was the first real hunt that Raleigh actually participated in.

Lollipops not Suckers

I took the kids to the Enstrom's Chocolate Factory here in town, to each pick out a candy. They picked out Lollipops. Every time I would call them suckers Sandon would correct me and say "no Mom, they are lollipops not suckers." Thank goodness for wet wipes. My kids are always a sticky mess, especially the little one!!!

Mommy's favorite little Boy

It was a beautiful sunny day and I thought I'd get a picture of me and my boy.

Mom's gotta get her kisses in while he'll still let me!

I wish he would stay this little and sweet forever!

Play food Party

The kids and I decided to have a food party today. Raleigh especially loves to do this. Must be a girl thing. They love the fake ice cream cones.

Yea, we made a big mess!

Double fisted with ice cream cones

Raleigh picked corn over an ice cream cone. Crazy girl!

Sandon's got it right with the chocolate

Close up!

Close up! Look at my dimples!

Caught in the act. Don't you touch that TV Raleigh. I can tell her a million times and she will still do it. Girl or personality, I don't know.

Gothic Toes!

Sandon always asks if he can have his toes painted because Raleigh and I get ours done. Dad said the only way he could have his toes painted was if they were black. So the next day Sandon and I bought some black nail polish and painted our toes.

Daddy's Birthday Party!!!

We had a surprise Birthday party for Daddy yesterday. Sandon and I decorated the kitchen with balloons all over the walls, helium balloons on the ceiling and confetti all over. The kids picked out the cake and presents for Dad. We told him to be home at 5:00pm so he could make pizza's with the kids before going to play frisbee football. He had no idea since his real Birthday is on Saturday. He walked in the door and we all blew our horns and yelled surprise! Then we sang Happy Birthday to him and had him blow out trick candles. That was fun!! We had a pizza party for dinner and finished with the cake. He was pretty surprised. Sandon had the best time out of all of us. It's amazing what simple small things make kids happy. Raleigh was such a mess from the cake that she went straight to the tub! This was the 11th Birthday that Doug and I have celebrated together, and I love him more each year. Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you so much!

Big Brother

Sandon is such a good big brother. Here he is teaching Raleigh how to do a Somersault, and just playing nice together. Good times!!
