Sick boy

Maybe it was a candy over load. I did over hear Anthony telling him that he would throw up if he didn't stop eating all the candy. Guess who kept me awake yelling for me because he felt sick? Guess who ended up sleeping by my bed cuz his tummy hurt? Guess who stayed home from school sick. There was one person who didn't mind. You can see her sprawled out on the couch. She didn't have to be crated! And she was haaaaappy! Jordan is feeling better now though, thankfully. He slept it off...

Tip toe, or drive...thru the tulips

One tired pup. Could take no more.

Daffodils

We got David to drive through the tulips!!! We can't stop (though he actually was able to pull over for a second) but....we didn't get out of the car at all....but it does make me happy...and as we all know...that is all the matters :-)

Easter Egg hunt

Everyone hunting for eggs in the yard while we got breakfast ready in the house.

Aim's poor trampoline...seen better days...but the bunny really liked to hide eggs around it!

The gang and their loot

Lucy wants to know what Zac has. She actually was outside picking up eggs as David hid them and cracked them open and ate the jelly beans!! David had to fill that one with dog treats. It was the golden egg. Bree got it!

The animals

Rufi and Lucy being introduced with the help of Katie :-) Rufi got over his big bad self and they played nicely after first being introduced.

And...Lulu Breeanna's guinea pig

Dying Eggs

I almost gave this table cloth it's own post. It means Easter in our family. No one knows how it happened. But we HAVE to use it on Aimee's table every.single.Easter. We used it one year and it has been a tradition ever since then...

The set up - mom had everything prepared for us to dye eggs.

All the grand kids ready to goooo

Everyone at work

everyone with Gramma Judy....and notice...Bree is texting...Zac probably.

da boyz

favorite eggs

After all the texting...look who came over :-)

Awwww...

Katie's favorite

Cheer Exhibition

I went to Anthony's cheer exhibition. The practices are closed so we don't see what their routine looks like before Worlds. They had an exhibition so all the friends and family could see what the routine is like. Not ironed out perfectly, little things change up until the very end anyway...but all three teams, Co ed 5 (Anth's team) CSI (the 14 & over team) and Dance team all looked awesome, everyone stuck their routine. I am getting SO excited. Been packed for days....Anth is holding up the girl front left. He is in the back. I had a great view...of the pole.

Close up of his group.

Ally at the top with her "fierce" face

Anth has the girl on his shoulders in the middle.

Poor baby

She's gonna get a crick in her neck

Ahhhh...that's better! I certainly hope she starts feeling at home soon!

Kool Kat

Need I say more? I.Think.Not.

A boy and his dog....

So bright...

He's gotta wear shades!

Jumpin

Baby got a new bed...

And had to share!

Tired Pup....

Happy Birthday Kylie

Yesterday was Kylie's birthday. She turned 10! Hope it was wonderful Kylie. Looking forward to watching you zip up and down the street on your fancy new bike!

Cheer Banquet

Anthony had his end of the year cheer banquet for the Kentwood Cheer team. They had a yummy catered Mexican dinner and gave awards/letters out to the kids. The teams really did awesome considering all the changes that had to be made mid year! They went from having two squads, to having three squads, changing choreography, and making them an all girl squad for nationals, where they placed 9th, in a super competitive division!! I am sure it was a heart breaking decision and Anthony didn't get to compete in Nationals but he did get to travel with the team, many thanks to Kim.

Anth and my friend Cherie

Huh? Whatchudoin?

Huh?

Whatchudoin?

Ohmygoodness. How cute can you get???? Seriously?

Remember that one day last week of sun-ish???

I like the look of this :-) Man-child doing yardly chores! The yard looked really nice, he straightened out the flower bed. It made him happy, which made me happy :-)

Whidbey Half Marathon

Mom, Christi and I after we finished. It was windy and bitter cold. That was a huge downfall of this race. I really did prefer the course when it went to Coupeville, don't much care for the down and back at the base this new course...at all. But...we did it. We wogged it. Mom and I. Christi jogged mostly I believe. Robert ran it and Aimee and Jolene ran the full marathon!! (crazies)

Interesting. I hope Christi stopped long enough to actually use this....and was not in motion while using....mom and I managed to avoid the port a potties somehow this run.

Mom and I on the down and back by the base...that we hated. I didn't have my camera so I just stole Christi's pictures from hers. Thanks :-)

Us before the race...

Christi on the course.

Aim and Jolene finishing. Poor Jolene, with 6 miles left, her toenail popped off her nail bed. Just bent back. I can't even imagine her pain! I've had my share of toe problems and I am very very impressed she actually finished the race. That is dedication for ya!!!! Way to go ladies!!!
