Easter 2009










On Saturday we went to a Primary Easter activity. The kids decorated cookies and went on an Easter egg hunt. It was fun for the kids. It also was raining as usual. The kids EAster baskets ere not very big this year. They just each got a big jug of bubbles, a puzzle and some candy. They seemed to be very happy with that. On Easter we had Zak's family over and my family over. Nothing to exciting. The kids wanted to do one more egg hunt, but it was pouring outside and very cold so we did a very small and rather pathetic indoor Easter egg hunt.

Pictures of the kids











The twins are 6 months- April 6th











I cannot believe my little babies are a half year old now. Time has really flown by. I am already missing the little baby stage. They both seem to be doing well. They are developmentally just like a 4 month old. They were recently evaluated, Sydney is a little further ahead in that she grabs and plays with her feet and can almost roll all the way over. Shae does not move around as much, but that is normal for his corrected age. Now that they are 6 months old, I started feeding them baby rice cereal. They both seem to be liking it. The other kids sure thought it was exciting when we first feed them. We took pictures of it, and as you can see, Ruby wanted to help by holding onto my hand.

The ZOO




I was feeling a little wild last Monday and decided to go to the Zoo with the kids. We had just been out to Seattle and I vowed to not go anywhere for a long time, but when the weather was suppose to be in the upper 60's to 70's I just had to go. Weather like that this time of year is unheard of. I had the kids skip out on school and we went, with my Mom, of course. It was very tiring, but the kids had fun. It felt so good to be in the sunshine.

Twins


I love to take pictures of my kids when they are sleeping. The Twins look so cute and sweet.

Spring break- first week in April




Spring break was very uneventful. The twins had a few appointments this week so we could not really have much fun. On Friday we decided to go the the Pacific Science center. It was quite the adventure taking everyone out all the way to Seattle. Luckily I had the help of my Mom. I do not think I could do it with out her. Keeping track of everyone and feeding everyone was a bit of a challenge. After we went to the Science center we decided to stop off at at cupcake shop and have the kids each pick one out. It was very fun for the them and very yummy. At the end of the day I vowed to not leave the house with my whole crew again for a long time.

March



I have not posted in so long! It seems so busy around here and my days go by so fast. Not much happened in March. We still had not left the house much. The weather has been strange, it snowed again a little. I forgot to take pictures of St. Patrick's day, but I did my yearly decorating, and the leprechauns turned our milk green and gave the kids stickers, pencils and lucky charm cereal. When the kids got home from school we did a little scavenger hunt that the "leprechauns did" that lead them to a plate of green sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun. I love holidays, even the dumb little ones.
The twins are doing well and growing fast. They got sick again this month though! Shae got a never ending cold and cough so he was put on antibiotics. Sydney also got a cold and a urinary tract infection and is having a few tests done to make sure her kidneys are okay. At their 5.5 month appointment Shae weighed 14 pounds and Sydney weighed 12 pounds 14 ounces.
