Dying Eggs

Welcome to Easter Egg Dying (or throwing up) of
April 23, 2011. In the last two years Carter has really enjoyed dying Easter eggs well that all changed this year. So as we are starting Carter keeps telling us that it stinks and gaging as he is covering his mouth and nose. Well we just tryed to pass it off and ignore it thinking that it would go away. It did not and as you can tell with the pictures of Carter and I together he threw up all over himself as I was trying to catch it (not pretty and I just should have let it go all down him rather than on me). After he threw up he decided he was done until later when "papa"Whitelock was able to talk him into trying to dye eggs again. On a side note the twins seemed to have no interest in the egg dying process either, but they loved having their pictures taken. Over all it was a fun experience one that we will never forget.

Ouchie

On the afternoon of April 20, 2011 Carter, the twins and I were in the back yard playing and low and behold Carter fell off his bike hit his bottom lip on the kid picnic table and managed to split it open. Blood was gushing every where and he would not swallow it nor would he spit it out (he was crying and chocking all at the same time), mean while the wind picked up in speed which caused the twins to start screaming, needless to say all four of us were in tears and luckily for me and the children Daddy was able to come to the rescue. We still have not been able to get his cut to close (we are thinking that he keeps playing with it), but it has stoped bleeding thankfully.

Happy "Grill"/Birthday Dad!

Bob turned 30 this year and since we got the deck I decided go big to celebrate and get him a nice grill that he has been wanting for sometime. So after much searching and trying to determine if I should I just went for it. I had to have neighbors help me get it out of the van, hide it (which I ended up just putting it in our garage and not allowing Bob to park or go in there) and get it on the deck the day of his birthday. Overall I would have to say that it was a great day. Carter was especially excited because we got to have cake when the twins went to bed.

Smiles

These were all taken sometime in the middle of April 2011. I love that on occasion when I take my camera out my children will smile. If they could please do this on picture day that would be great.

Easter Thanks

On April 11, 2011 we received a package from "great"- grandma and grandpa Bramhall and Carter could not have been more excited to have gotten mail. All three were really excited to see what was inside and Carter loved it all. He kept telling us that this was his favorite then changing his mind when he found something else. The twins loved fighting over the jelly beans as you can tell they thought they were going to get some. Thanks again "great"- grandma and grandpa Bramhall.

Success

Carter is finally potty trained (with the exception of naps, bed time and the occasional accident)! To celebrate he really wanted a "turn on tooth brush" just like daddy (seriously what kid wants to celebrate like this but hey). He is still in potty training mode so we are giving him one penny every time he goes (this money will be used to purchase his scooter that he really really wants) that is if he gets his jar full. We love you little man keep up the good work.

Ballerina

I could not resist posting these pictures (for the outfit as well as my cute children and husband). I love this outfit and hope that she wants to be a dancer or more of a girly girl than a tom boy, but for now I enjoy being able to dress her up in cute girl outfits. These were taken on April 8, 2011.
