Easter Egg Hunt

Last Sunday my Aunt Penny had us all of us over for dinner and a Easter Egg Hunt. We did the hunt before we ate because it was getting cold. So of course the kids wanted to eat the candy instead of their dinner. Kaiden had so much fun playing with all his cousins.

Thursday

On Thursday morning Kaiden came into our room and had goggles on and said he wanted to go swimming. I told him we couldn't go swimming but I would take him to play on all the blow up toys. So Mindy and I took the kids to Jumping Jacks. They had so much fun. So did Mindy, Mike and I!! We went down slides, did relay races etc. It wore out the kids but I think it really wore us out the most.

OUCH!!

Kaiden was playing in our backyard with his cousins and they were running on the basketball court and of course Kaiden fell. This is nothing new. I swear that kid is accident prone. My dad keeps telling me we need to make him wear a helmet at all times.

More Colorado Pictures!

Colorado Trip

Two weeks ago Jim and Kym came into town so see us. They stayed for about 5 days and when they flew home Kaiden and I went with them. Mike was leaving town and I thought Kaiden would love to spend more time with Grammy and Grandpa. Kaiden did really good on the plane ride there. Right when we took off he fell asleep and woke up when we landed. The weather was in the 70's almost the whole time we were there. So we spent alot of time outside. They have a pathway across the street so we took Kaiden for walks. Of course he didn't want to walk, he wanted grandpa to hold him. We seen all different kinds of birds, geese, and rabbits.
Kym also surprised Mikes nanny on her birthday. She had no clue we were there and when she saw us she was very surprised. We got to visit with her, Dan and Kim and then we all had dinner together. Kaiden had a hay day playing with everyone. He had a golf card and give girl (that is what he called Aunt Kim) the lawn mower and made her chase him around in circles.
Grammy had also planned alot of fun things for Kaiden to do. We took him to story time, the park, went to lunch, and she even gave Mike and Kaiden pedicures. Yes they both loved every minute of it. I told Mike he better enjoy it because I won't touch his feet!!
Mike met us in Colorado Friday night, so on Saturday he had father son bonding time and mom had a girls day :) Kym, Kim and I went shopping (my favorite) and had lunch. We also met up with Kim's sister Chris. She is a hoot!! It was a fun day!!
On Sunday we went to Dan and Kim's house and had lunch and then they took us to the airport to see Dan's planes. When Dan opened the garage door, Kaiden got so excited. He ran right to the plane and said "Ready". He was ready to fly. It was so cute because Dan let Kaiden help him get the plane ready fly. Dan took Kaiden and Mike in the plane and they taxied around the airport. Kaiden had a blast. Then he took Kim, Me and Mike flying. It was amazing.
We sure did have alot of fun spending so much time with everyone. I think we wore Grammy and grandpa out. Kaiden was a cling on to Grammy. Where ever Grammy was that is were Kaiden wanted to be.
Thanks for everything Kym and Jim! We really had a nice time. We can't wait to come back in May ;)

St. Patricks dinner at grandma Rich's house

What did I tell ya. My grandparents took down the red lights and put up green! They are so funny. I think they are the only people in the US that change from Christmas lights to Valentines lights to St. Patricks lights!! That is one thing us grandkids will never forget. They love to celebrate the holidays. Oh and the whole inside of their house is also decked out to. I went over to their house earlier that day and helped them fix chicken broccoli casserole, green jello, salad, green punch and of course grandpa's famous rolls. And he put green die in them.
It's always so nice of them to get us all together and celebrate. I know that's why our family is so close. I hope when Mike and I get older we are just like them. They have set such a great example for all of us.

Funny things Kaiden say's

When he wants me to hold him he say's "I hold you". After he does something naughty he looks at me and says "Time out". So I say you want to go to time out and he says yes and laughs. He loves time out which isn't a good thing. I was laying on the floor and he got on my back and said "Horsey, Horsey". I said is momma a horsey and he said no. I said what is momma and he said "a cow". That made me feel great. Then yesterday he was looking out his window calling the garbage truck a "Dumb as*" I was like oh great. It's sad to say but he got that from me. When I drive I have a little bit of road rage and I think I say it a little to much.
