Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Sunday was a great day. We went to church to worship, we ate a wonderful fellowship meal with our church family and we had an Easter Egg hunt. What's not to love about that? Katie was so excited about the egg hunt.





The poor kids had to wait a long time for the adults to finish eating so they could do their egg hunt. They were ready!

Piglet found one!

Sweet Abigail!




Playing with friends was probably the real highlight of Piglet's day.

Cousin Time

Piglet loves her cousins. She wants to be like them and play whatever they play. Thankfully her cousins are incredibly sweet an even though they are a good bit older they play games with her that she can do. One thing she loves to do is race down hills. Noah and Owen raced down Papa's hill with her for at least 45 minutes.


Then they posed for the camera.
Owen was excite that he lost a tooth and got some money for it.

At the Park

Katie loves to go to the park to feed the ducks.We took her a couple of weekends ago and she had a great time. After she ran out of bread she went to racing Papa or Daddy down the hill.

31 Weeks!

Can you believe that I only have about 9 weeks to go? Time has gone by quickly but I think that we are ready, especially Katie. Every morning she wakes up and says "I love you Rufus". I love hearing those words from her and that she is excited about her baby brother.

Piglet Playing

Piglet loves to get ready for school. She tells me all the time that she's ready to go. I asked her one day what she thought that she would do at school and her answer was play with boys and girls and see the new toys. She doesn't seem to believe that there will also be work involved. Her backpack is filled with things she "needs" for school like toys and food.

Piglet has finally started riding her scooter that she got for Christmas. She has wanted to before now but I wouldn't let her unless she wore her helmet. Thankfully she has finally come around.
This is what Piglet likes to do whenever she can get her hands on some hangers. I don't really understand why, I just know she likes it.


Piglet loves playing in dirt. This was from a couple of days ago when Katie was playing with her friends. She had a great time and I think that she still has dirt in her hair.

Piglet Goes to the Dentist

Yesterday was Piglet's first trip to the dentist. She did a great job! She sat in the chair the whole time and let the doctor look at everything he needed to. Dr. Lugo said that her teeth are in great shape and to keep doing what we are doing. That was a relief for me since I am not the best at making her brush her teeth in the morning and sometimes even at night. As we left the office Piglet told me what a fun time she had.

Piglet's Face

Katie hates to wear her hair up. Whenever I put something in her hair she takes it out immediately. This weekend her cousin talked her into wearing a ponytail all day Saturday and Sunday. It was so nice to see her smiling face instead of her hair.

Piglet goes to Jacksonville

Piglet helped mommy make a big heart sugar cookie for valentines day. Then we took a quick trip to Jacksonville to see some family. We got to go fishin at the pond.
And ride a tractor.
Piglet is really growing up fast. Its so much fun to see her learn new things.

Papa's House


Piglet loves to go to Papa's House. He moved in a month ago.





Piglet plays in the front yard. Pretty soon, she'll realize the fun she can have in the woods.



Piglet's great grandmother has already made us some wonderful meals.





She has also spent the night a few times. These two are like peas and carrots.

A Future Postal Worker?

Katie loves going to get the mail every day. In the house she likes to color a picture and put it in the "mailbox" which was behind some blinds in the kitchen. Now she has a mailbox and she adores it.
She will even pretend it's a telescope and yell "I see you!"

Nap Time

Kaitlin has not had a nap since last Friday. It's sad for me because I am always about to fall asleep when her music cuts off so she knows that she can get up. I shouldn't lay down at all but that's when I try to read the Bible some and once I lay down I am ready for a nap. Kaitlin went through a phase like this a few months ago so maybe she will start napping again soon. She asked to go outside after her rest time and since it wasn't too cold I thought we should. We pulled some weeds, played tag and played with chalk because it's the best thing ever. Sadly I could not handle being out for too long so after 45 minutes we headed inside which broke Kaitlin's heart.



Kaitlin loves her bath time, especially when it's a bubble bath. Here she is "swimming" looking for her glasses like Donald Duck does on one of the Mickey Mouse episodes. She always puts the red thing on her head. She just loves it.

A Christmas & Rufus Update

A few weeks ago we went to for our 20 week ultrasound to confirm what Katie already knew that Rufus is a boy. It was exciting for Chad, Papa Rick and me but Kaitlin was more interested in the Mickey Mouse calendar hanging on the wall.
Kaitlin started sleeping in her big girl bed Christmas night. She loves it! She now believes that all of her babies must sleep with her so she sleeps with 8 and covers them completely with blankets. It doesn't leave her a lot of room but she's happy.

Christmas week we got together with more family for more presents and fun. I didn't take a lot of pictures because my pregnant brain can't seem to remember to do things like that, but here are a few from when we went to Infantry Museum.


Owen loves all things Army and even went and bought him some BDUs (or whatever they are called now) after the museum.

The meseum is great and free! There is so much to do there and we will have to go back next time our nephews are in town to see more.

21 weeks!

We are over halfway before "Rufus"gets here. I know that I should be putting up pictures of the last ultrasound but we don't have a scanner and we just can't remember for Chad to take the pictures to work with him so he can scan them there. Hopefully next week I will be able to put them up. Kaitlin has decided that she would rather "Rufus" be a sister instead of a brother. She has also started calling her baby dolls and her stuffed puppy dogs Rufus "so we can have a lot of Rufuses". Katie also likes to point out that her belly is getting bigger just like mine. Oh how I love to hear that! I am still trying to potty train Kaitlin but she wants no part of it. She says that she wants to wear a diaper, be a baby instead of a big girl and that she can go to school and just not potty while she's there. I can feel "Rufus" moving around but he is in no way as active as Kaitlin was. I can't figure out his schedule but with Kaitlin I could feel her every morning when I woke up, before my nap after work and right before I went to bed. Maybe that means "Rufus" will be calm. He'll have to be tough to handle Kaitlin's hugs.
