New Baby

NO, not for us : (

A friend is about to POP with number 5, so I got all our baby stuff out to loan to her[she swore she was done @4, so she gave all her stuff away].

Alaina was walking down memory lane and wanted to play with it all. She put her babies in the swing, chair, and stroller, and put herself in the carseat. She tried and tried to buckle herself in, so finally I helped her. She loved just sitting there, in the carseat. I picked it up and walked around with her in it and called her my baby. She seemed content, so I just put it down in her bedroom and watched her sit in it until SHE FELL ASLEEP---SHE TOOK A 2 HOUR NAP IN IT!!!

New Toy

Mommy got a new stove; Lainer got a new box! Who was more thankful? It's a toss up!

When the box was Laying down short way, so that she could crawl INTO it, Laine figured out how to get from the couch, and climb ONTO the top of the box, and then jump onto the couch. I know, CRAZY. She CLIMBS EVERYTHING!

So we put the box up tall way, and turned into a hideout. She loved that!

In other news, she is saying more words and shaking her head NO NO NO when you ask her things that require such a reply. She is also getting pretty good at putting on her own shoes. She has several pairs of sandals [ok, its genetic, she has like 20pairs of shoes and probably 7 pairs of sandals] that she can do all by herself---now if only we can get the matching it to the outfit part down. Several times now she has gone to the door to get them in the morning when she knew it was time to leave, and has chosen ANY which pair to put on. Well, we can't go out lookin' all a fool, so I switch them up before we hit the road.

Fun in the Sun

Mimi, mommy and I went to the Park a few weeks back.

I see you!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE slides. That was my favorite thing when I went to Six Flags.

I'm concentrating---tongue out and all!

Wheee. I believe that SWINGING comes in a close second!

All pooped out. Chilling on the bench.

Hello little shadow girl.

Do you want a drink?

Where did that shadow come from?

Ahhh!

Easter Egg Dyeing---aka---dipping fun

So I dip this little dipper thingy in to get the egg?

I think I have a more efficient way!

Awww, darnit. What a mess.

Here, let me help clean that up.

After so many spills and splashes,

mommy realized that I was just as happy

with a cup of water.

See, look how pretty!

My Masterpieces!!!

A New Tradition---A Hare in the Air

We discovered a great event...the Hare in the Air Easter Egg Hunt at Auntie M's school---Logan College of Chiropractic.

The campus is AMAZING! It was like being at a park. And such a family atmosphere--we're going to come visit Auntie M at lunch in the summer so we can play in the plaza fountain and walk by the lake!

Today there was a petting zoo, easter egg hunt, and the Easter Bunny came via helicopter--piloted by Bill Houska from Newschannel5, where your news comes first, haha.

Lainey loved the little bunny-foo-foo that Auntie M held for her. It made Auntie M want a little bunny again. Should we check her pockets to see if this one came home with her? [it didn't]

Here is my Marilyn Monroe impression as I played on the vents near the window.

I look like such a big girl...so adorable.

Ahh hahahaha. Here I look kinda mischievious. And believe mommy, looks ARE NOT decieving.

Here comes the bunny, waving out the window.

Hi mommy from across the plaza! We had to wait for the official "OK" before we could go and get all the eggs.

No parents allowed to help---good thing I knew what I was doing!

Picture perfect pick-up of the egg.

MMMMM, candy inside each egg!

Hey, are you stealing my eggs? I don't even know you! Why isn't your mother stopping you! Oh well---I already took all the good stuff out of them!!!

I had to hunt with the "big" kids cause the age groups only went down to age 2.

The firemen even came and showed off their ladder.

Ummm, get me off this fuzzy creature!

I'll just watch from here. Hold my hand, please.

So egg-xuasted-----hahahahaha!

Spring is here, but Kater is not...

As we welcomed in the flowers, we bid Kater farewell. She is off to live in Hawaii for 3 years!!! Lucky! New vacation spot!!!! Aloha! We're doing Jamiaca this year, so we're off to see Aunt KayKay next year--unless we talk daddy into 2 vacations--since the lodging will be free : )

Our last Sunday Dinner together for a long while.
