SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!!

It was such an awesome day on Saturday. It was a little cold, hence the coats and hats. So, after our Easter party we decided to go on a bike ride with the boys.

I love thoes kid trailers that go behind your bike. It was fun to be outdoors & not be cooped up in the house! I LOVE SUMMER!

Boys will be boys

Our friends came over with their cute boy Riley!

They are so cute together....Climbing trees..............Holding hands...ya know boy stuff!

Ethan loved finding thoes eggs! He would find one, open it and want to eat all the candy! His little cousin Madi, that will be 2, scored!! She beat Ethan to the punch everytime, so much for all the training that we had done before :)
Ethan was all too excited when he got a tape measure. Now he has one "just like daddy!" Grandparents with all the kids, except Jackson, he slept through the whole thing.

Thanks for the party!

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend!! I love easter time, it feels like summer is just around the corner. We went over on Saturday to have an Easter brunch and egg hunt with the Kevin's family! Julie & Doug go above and beyond entertaining us and the grandkids! They had so much fun hunting for eggs in their house.

Potty training 101

Well, here we are doing the potty training again. I tried to crop the picture to save Ethan some dignity! I don't know how most of you got through this, but i am about to quit! :) I tried it about 6 months ago & nothing. So here i am doing it again. I did the whole treats, poster, big boy underwear......yada yada! Any ideas? He does everything great, but as soon as he gets off the pot, he goes on the floor! Lovely :) Any ideas? I am sure i am doing fine, i just need to stick with it! The joys of being a parent.....we love you buddy!

We were greeted by our cute family when we got home!
Ethan said Hi mom, Hi Kevin! Come play blocks?!
That's it. That's all the greeting we got, which is good instead of break down crying!
They did very well slept through the
night for them and were happy the whole time!!

I guess we are free to go again!!!

St. John our last Island

Tortola our 5th Island

We snorkeled every day! I loved being in the water! The third picture is our cruise boat!

Antigua our 4th island

The first picture is of Eric Clapton's house. You can hardley see it, it blends well with the surroundings! The third one is of a cute family we met on the beach with 5 boys!! They were so cute playing on the beach, it made me miss our boys. They all were around the same age except for one.

St. Lucia our 3rd Island

Barbados our 2nd Island

Puerto Rico our 1st island

Here we are back from our warm and awesome cruise! It was sad to come back to the cold. We loved the warm weather and loved going to 5 different islands! If you haven't been on a cruise yet you should all go! We loved it! There was six of us that went and it was a blast :) We are glad that we left the kids beacuse it would have been much harder to do the things we wanted if they were there! We missed them a lot but it was good to get away. Thanks again Grandparents for watching the kids!!

Here is the finished product!! Not as bad as i thought it would be! He has been great with it and now he has a crash helmet for when Ethan wrestles with him.

This is the plaster that they put on his head to make the helmet!! He was so mad through the whole thing, but who could blame him! :(

The joys of kids!

Here i am updating my blog finally! Why the crazy picture you ask...well this is an ongoing problem with Jackson! I will update you fast for the ones who don't know. Jackson's head was in my uterus funny and we think that is why he never turned and part of the reason why i had a c-section. SO...he came out with loving to lay on his left ear. This is know was torticollis. We went to Physical Therapy and i would do exercises and try to position him differently and it did help but then his head just stayed flat on that one side. SO....now he has Plagiocephaly (aka flat head) Now he has to wear a helmet for 3 months to help his head go to a more rounded shape! We start ours young with the plastic surgery! Right before our cruise he got fitted for the helmet and here are some pictures of it!
