Girls Weekend!

While Jacob was away at Woodbadge this past weekend, us girls decided to do some fun "girl stuff".  We painted toenails, played games, watched movies, went on walks, went shopping and made pizza! Of course, all I got pictures of were the pizza making.  But we had a lot of fun!

Easter 2012!

We had a wonderful Easter this year! We woke up Sunday morning and waited for Daddy to get home before we went downstairs to see what the Easter bunny brought us. The girls all got very cute Easter baskets and they went on an exciting Easter egg hunt. They had so much fun!! Since Jacob was sleeping, I ventured to try and get pictures with all three of them but did not do very well. Those pictures were the best I got! Then, we went to church (I FINALLY found matching dresses for all 3 girls) and then had dinner with both Grandmas, Aunt Doo, Uncle Mike and cousin Sammy. We are thankful for the Easter season where we get to learn more about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We love the gospel!!Digging through the Easter basketsI found them some pretty cool books that they love!Getting ready to find some eggsLooking through the loot!Gotta love Makenna trying to eat everything in siteAll of my sweet girls in their matching dresses!

Swinging!

There is no doubt that one of Emma and Maddie's favorite pastimes is swinging. So Jacob and I got out the infant swing and put it back on so that Makenna could start swinging with them. They LOVE it!! It is a lot of fun to watch all 3 of them having fun together.

Sick, Sick, Sick!!

This month we had the worst sickness that our little family has ever had so I just need to document it!! I can't even count how many doctor visits we had or prescriptions that we filled so I will just list exactly what went wrong with each of us. Also, this was all in a matter of 2-3 weeks and the stomach flu that came was while we were STILL sick with the colds, etc. It was pretty horrible!
Jacob - cold/flu (which was a nasty one), stomach flu
Katie - cold/flu, bronchitis, double ear infection, stomach flu, sinus infection (in that order!)
Emma - cold/flu, 10 days of fever, turned into pneumonia, had to take steroids to help with the asthmatic cough
Maddie - cold/flu, double ear infection, stomach flu (She was such a trooper and made it to the toilet to throw up almost every time. She only had 3 "accidents"!)
Makenna - cold/flu, double ear infection (She is such a good baby, I had no idea she had a double ear infection. Never whined at all and they were bulging by the time we checked it out!)

It was ALMOST laughable because the sickness seemed to be never ending. The amount of medicine that I was "handing" out everyday was insane. I am thankful that we are all better now!

St. Patty's Day

My girls are getting old enough now that I am TRYING to do some fun things with them, especially on the holidays. We all know that I work from home so its hard to squeeze everything in that I want but we manage to get some things in. For St. Patty's Day this year, a little Leprechaun sent us on a fun treasure hunt. The girls quickly got the hang of it and we definitely enjoyed running around the house finding all of the clues. We also enjoyed green food all day which the girls especially loved!

Fun Times With Daddy!

I have to say that our Daddy is one of the best Daddy's around! One this particular day, Jacob was supposed to take the two older girls to go and see a movie but he ended up not feeling very well. So instead, they helped him build this awesome fort! Then, I went and bought a new movie and picked up some pizza so we could have lunch in the tent while watching it. The girls loved it! We really enjoyed this time with them in the fort!

Autographs at Disneyland!

We have season passes to Disneyland so it is no surprise that we have had many trips there. However, on this trip, we decided to get the girls some autograph books so they could start collecting the autographs from everyone that we see. Boy, was it ever good timing! We saw more characters that day that we have ever seen in one trip! I had to document everyone that we saw.
