Checking out all the pretty colors!

Chad holding an egg, and I'm still worried he's going to drop it or throw it like it's a ball, LOL!

Time for STICKERS!

Jacob, Madison and Chad had lots of fun coloring eggs! More pic's to come later of Easter Day.

Easter Bunny

Tonight we took the kids to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. I wasn't sure how Chad would react, if he would cry or be excited. We got there, and we went and saw the little animated bunny who talks to you. Chad wasn't too sure of the bunny at first, but then saw Maddie was laughing at it and he thought it was pretty funny too. Chris put Maddie on one side and I put Chad on the other, we got about 2 pictures until Chad started to cry. I'm not sure if he was afraid of the bunny or if he was a little intimidated with everyone calling his name and trying to get him to smile. Maddie was so concerned about her little brother, it looked like she was going to cry too, but she patted Chad on the back and said "It's ok Chaddy-boy, it's just the easter bunny!" We finished up the night with a ride on the Merry-Go-Round, that brought a smile to his face.

My little musician

I would love to share this cute video of Chad and Maddie at the swap meet. We went to the OC Gun show today, and it was so packed that me and Lisa decided to walk over to the swap meet with the kids while Chris and Derek looked at the guns and stuff. We ran into this guy playing some violin type instrument, and Chad just loved it. Every time he see's someone playing the guitar he immediately starts playing air guitar (this he learned from his daddy!). Everyone fell in love with Chad, and thought Maddie was quite the little dancer. This is just a quick video, we were there watching this guy for at least an hour, while Chad and Maddie stole the show by how darn cute they were being :)

St. Patrick's Day

Here's a few pic's of St. Patties day evening. Spent a mellow evening at my mom's house. Ate pizza and watched the kids danced around the living room. 5 years ago I would have been dancing around some club drinking green beer. Oh how my life has changed. LOL!

Birthdays, right around the corner!

Chad is in LOVE with this movie! Looks like this will be the theme for his 2nd birthday party.

I can't believe he will be 2 in just 3 1/2 months! Tonight Maddie said she wants a My Little Pony party.
I'm sure it will be different tomorrow. She's already said she wants a Tinkerbell Party and a Princess party. Hopefully this little girl will make up her mind soon because her birthday is on May 12th!! I wish their birthdays weren't so close together, so much to plan for.

Good friends, good times!

Today we spent the day with some old friends who we don't see often, but when we do, we always have a great time. Their little girl is just a few months younger then Maddie, and they had such a fun time together. We went to Chili's for lunch, then too their house to let the kids play, then we walked to the park. The kids ran around and played on the swing, slide and of course played in the sand while us grown-ups talked and laughed. The kids were so worn out that they fell asleep before we hit the freeway. Too much fun! Here are some pic's of our day!

Happy Birthday Best Friend!

Today is Chris's birthday, the big 36!! It's hard to believe we've been together since I was 18 and he was 21! How fast time flies. It's scary to think how old we are actually getting :( Before you know it we will be approaching 40! That number is frightening! But at least we have one another to grow old with. I don't know what I would do without him. He's always there for me. And I'm so thankful I have him in my life, and that we have made such a beautiful family.

Tonight I asked him where he would like to go for his birthday dinner and he said Carls Jr! How funny is that! But that's Chris. Such a simple guy. So easy to please. So we went to Carls Jr., just the 4 of us. And came home and had cake and that was it.
