Phone Uploads

I haven't uploaded photos from my phone since October. Yeah. It's that bad. I uploaded Michaels phone too. Here are the treasures. The video at the end is pretty funny.

Bedtime story reading

Crashed with frosty

Playing cowboy with cousin

Hooray for fruitloops

Raegan thought it would be good to clean Weston with the toothbrush

I made this "cookie inception" from pinterest. It wasn't that great. Not worth the extra effort. 

  

Riding the carousel. Tiger was the first choice.

First haircut. She was a champ.

Giraffe was her second choice.

Coloring Easter eggs with cousin Mack

Showing off the bunny tail

Raegan was having a great time at grandmas house with sparklers, until she decided to grab one. You can see the blisters on all three fingers.

Eagle was her third choice. Hi Nonnie!

Sometimes we go to the playground at the elementary school when there's no school. She likes to drive the fire truck.

Showcasing her "Raegan" shirt. A friend gave me this 2T shirt for my baby shower and I kept it guarded away. She now wears it with pride.

For achievement days we had someone teach us to decorate cakes. Here is mine. Not bad for a first try.

Don't judge us. She liked it.

Here are pictures of our actual Easter morning celebration. Michael left the day before for a school rotation in Seattle so it was just me and the kids. Raegan LOVES hunting for eggs and we had many practice drills and many Easter egg hunts before the actual Easter bunny came. I would get sick of hiding the eggs and suggested that she start hiding her eggs for herself. She would still need help finding them, even when she hid them. Silly girl. (Since we practiced so many times she was familiar with my hiding places.)

Side note: Hindsight really is 20/20. Why did I put her in Halloween pajamas the night before Easter? No one will ever know. Weston on the other hand is in his Bunny jammies. (Notice the feet)

Thanks to Carolyn for giving me most of the contents of their baskets.... if not all.

And another thank you to Carolyn for the adorable Easter outfits. I seriously adore Raegan's dress. It's gorgeous. Worth waiting a year for.

Last side note: Michael decided I was not trustworthy enough to use our camera and take it on the cruise. So HE took it to Seattle and left me with his old crappy camera and an SD card that literally only held 30 pictures. I couldn't have been more annoyed. I was surprised with how fast these pictures uploaded to the blog and then I remembered.... they are really low res. Joy. Now I can't blow them up to life size!

Here is what it looks like when you feel guilty about not taking as many pictures of your second child as your first child. You try really hard to take a bunch one day, but the first child ends up getting in the pictures anyway, and you are still in the red. Oh well. Weston is super adorable and I think I have enough pictures to let him know he was loved as a child. That said...

Raegan and Weston enjoying the rocking frog. My favorite thing in the world as a mother is when my children laugh together. This is rare, and therefore valuable. 

I think this Weston pic is hilarious. He looks so goofy. He never actually makes this face. It is just one of those things randomly caught on camera... like a person right before they sneeze.

This is what Weston typically looks like. Have I mentioned before that he's a cryer/whiner? I'm sure he's not even that bad. But compared to the easiest child in the world whom I happened to have first, he is a lot of work.

Grandma bought the kiddos matching octopus jammies. They were thrilled. Who needs a sister to match? 

We had an Easter party with my sister and brother and their families. It was super fun times.

We had to force this one, but it happened.

I made this trifle for my sis-in-laws birthday. The more I think about it, the more I want another one. It was soooo good and even better after sitting in the fridge for 24 hours. Layers of brownie, chocolate pudding, peanut butter mousse, reeses and whipped cream. I found it on pinterest and seriously worth the work. I rarely say that.
