Back when Jase was really sick

Remember about weeks ago when Jase was really sick and spent a day and a half in the hospital being rehydrated with IV fluids? Well these pictures were taken about 4 hours after the vomiting and diarrhea started. He felt and looked bad, but trust me he looked alot worse before he started looking better. Thankfully I didn't take any other pictures of the ordeal...

Easter

I'm finally getting around to posting our Easter pictures.

A couple days before Easter Heather's parents sent an Easter box. In it were of course sweets, a big chocolate Easter bunny, coloring books, and stuffed animals.

Jase showing off his lizard...


Meghan going through her bag of candy...


Jase showing off his squirt gun...


Both kids eating their bunnies (I'm all for letting them eat (almost) as much as they want because I don't have to listen to the "I wants" and "why not".


As a side note I just threw out the remaining Easter candy (half of the bunnies, and the rest of the jelly beans).

The Saturday before Easter Sunday we dye eggs and have an egg hunt. A dozen eggs was not enough for the kids to color, so I'll have to remember to do at least 2 dozen next year.


After a nice warm week of spring, winter showed back up for Easter weekend. It was sunny, but frigid. The kids were bundled up and love the hunt!






Easter Sunday involved Joe teaching the kids how to do jumping jacks...


More eating of candy...


And Meghan dressed up with her hair done (doesn't she look like little Cindy Lou Who)?

An evening of fun

Quite a while ago we had the Ream's over for dinner. We had a great time talking and eating and the kids played well.





Jase and Meghan sound asleep after a long day of playing...

Another photo catch up post...

Here is another photo catch up post - enjoy!

Beef and Broccoli

I made this yummy (and easy) beef and broccoli recipe a while ago - it was so yummy...



The picture doesn't do it very much justice, but then I never claimed to be a food photographer.

4 year pics, 18 month pics, and Easter pics

I'm a month late getting these up, but thought the relatives would enjoy them.

Jase is 4 years old and Meghan is 18 months. Some of these were their Easter pics too.

Meghan's toddler bed

A couple months ago I got a great deal on Craigslist for a toddler bed for Meghan. She was beginning to try and climb out, since Jase was always climbing in and out playing, so before she actually did it, and crashed on the wood floor, we just moved it out.

Here she is the first night in her new bed.


She loves her bed and has transitioned really well. She rarely gets out of bed at night or for naps and when she does, she climbs in bed with Jase (sometimes with Jase's prompting).

And here is one of Jase sleeping too. This kid has to be a burrito in his blanket no matter what he is wearing and how warm or cold it is in the room. So with it being warmer now, he tends to sweat alot since he insists on a heavy fleece blanket to cover up with and his lovey blanket to hold and snuggle with. Crazy kid is just like his dad...
