Happy St. Patrick's Day

I really love holidays and I needed to make this one more exciting.  So, we came up with a new tradition... treasure hunt!  Evan had to read clues and find gold coins and small toy treasures.  It was a blast.

Pinch it!!! Darn I can't he's wearing green. :)

Sometimes they were tricky to spot with so many weeds around lol.

At the end there was a big X marks the spot with many treasures!  So fun!

Jayda was also wearing her green (one of Megan's baby outfits).

Evan wanted green eggs.  I tried to make it look better with some cheese on top... actually made it look even more gross.

 

Julie, Michelle and the kids came over.  What a nice surprise!  We were so excited to see them.

 

Jayda enjoying some Tia time!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

It looks like she got a lot more than Evan but she didn't.  He just wouldn't let me take any more pictures...he's not a morning person.

Evan had a class party. He was a cranky mess... not so fun.

So much better after nap!

Phoenix Children's Museum

This place is so much fun.  Climbing through this thing is a good workout.

This of course was his favorite!

Awesome artwork almost everywhere you look.  Wall of shoes...

Playing

Evan keeps Jayda (2 mo.) very entertained.

Airplane girl... cracking up at her brother.

Science Center

Bed of nails.  Evan wanted to do this but was SO nervous about it.

Happy 45th Anniversary!

Happy 45th anniversary to my parents!  They wanted to take us all out to dinner at BJ's for their anniversary.  ALL OF US... they're crazy!  :)

THEN...

Now...

I was getting lunch ready and I look over and this is what I see. If you look close there is a picture of our niece Megan, when she was a baby, on Jayda's right shoulder. Evan has a wallet with a bunch of cousin pics in it and thought Megan looked a lot like Jayda.

Every year on Thanksgiving I get a picture of Evan next to this turkey. I love to see his growth from year to year. Well, this year I was a bit busy and forgot. So, it was a month late. Jayda was not cooperating. :)

My Aunt Carol and Aunt Susie came to visit! I was so excited for them to finally meet Jayda.

I figured out how to take a walk with my two kids. I have to use this huge and not so easy but wonderful stroller. This thing is way bigger than it looks in the picture.

Such a great sleeper.

Evan would like to thank everyone for the wonderful presents you got for his sister. He is having a lot of fun with them lol.

Evan and I went to Build A Bear last week. We had so much fun. He was afraid of the machine that stuffs the bear so he wore his shark hat to help with the noise. It worked perfectly!

Chef Sprinkles!

So cute!

Real smiles! They are here and we can't get enough of them.

This little guy was a big waste of money. Instead of holding in the pacifier he runs off with it.

Every time I put a bow on her I have to take a picture lol. I tried really hard to get her to smile but she was too busy shaking her head back and forth trying to shake off the bow haha!

So pretty!

Evan's new playhouse came in a really huge box. I don't know what is more fun the house or the box. His buddy JP came over today and they played with chalk inside the box and even the Leappad.

Just hanging out watching tv and having a snack. He likes to be close to his sister.

He is obsessed with her tiny feet. He tickles them and kisses them all the time.
