Been too long!!

I have been totally slacking and really busy and I guess the blog hasn't been my first priority. I am caught up now and have blogged everything that we have been doing for the last month. Life is moving so quickly. I cannot believe that it is almost March. I am trying to enjoy life and take each day as it comes. Anyway these are just a few of the fun things we did.

Four Wheeling


Yesterday was such a nice day that we decided to take the family out and go four wheeling. The Everton Family went with us and we had a blast. We have been having a little bit of spring fever with the weather being so nice and couldn't wait to go riding. Even our little Alayna joined in on the fun. We bundled her up and strapped her to the front of me and off we went. It was a little muddy but that only made it more fun. We made a picnic out of it and burned some burgers and just enjoyed being out in the fresh air. We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again.

Dishes


We're busy Mom.

Almost done!!

Kohnor and Kellsie were such a great help to me the other day. So I have been thinking that they are just a little too young to wash the dishes but I decided to give it a try. They usually help me rinse but not wash. Kohnor washed and Kellsie rinsed and they did a fabulous job! I am so proud of them and love them so much! Thanks for your help.

CHUCK E CHEESE!



We went to CHUCK E CHEESE with our friends the Evertons. The kids had such a great time and of course us adults had to get in on the action too! It was so fun to see the kids get so excited and light up at all the fun things to do. They are so sweet and innocent. What a beautiful gift children are. They make you realize what is important and to stop and enjoy life as you go.

Our BABY Kellsie!


See, I am a baby too Mom!!

I used to have one of these

I'm trying to sleep mom!

The other day we were getting the kids ready for bed and Kellsie was in the process of putting on her pj's but got distracted while I was upstairs putting Alayna in her jammies. I come downstairs and Kellsie had strapped herself into Alayna's carseat and had the pacifier in her mouth. She pulled the pacifier out and gave me a big smile and said "I'm a baby too!" I laughed so hard. She has quite a funny sense of humor that comes out on a regular basis. So we have had to remind her that she is the big sister and not the baby. What would we ever do without her!

Camera Time


How about some Cheese!!!

Hi Mom!

You're so funny!

My turn!

I pulled the camera out one day and just let the kids pose for themselves. It was so cute so see what they would do. They had such a great time. It is so fun to see their little personalities come out or shall I say big personalities!

On the Mend

Eveyone is finally starting to get better and not cough twenty four hours a day. The kids went back to the doctor yesterday and they are all clear. Kellsie better and Kohnor and Alayna are not far behind. We are done with the treatments and that is wonderful because it becomes quite tiring when Alayna cries through the whole thing and you have to do it several times a day. So we are a lot happier. The kids are getting their energy back and sometimes I forget how much energy they really have when they get sick and slow down. I really tried not to get sick but it came on anyway. Although it is not nearly as bad as the rest of the family mine is just a cold. I am very thankful for that because someone has to take care of everyone. Even though everyone has been sick and it has been a trial I feel very blessed because things could have been a lot worse. With how sick the kids were we could have easily been in the hospital. What a blessing that we did not have to add that to this interesting experience. So we are grateful everyone is feeling better and hope to make it through the winter season without a repeat.
