April 2012 Pt 1 - Easter

Jaina was sick for a few days and actually fell asleep on the couch, which is very rare!

 

Also another rarity! Dad with all 3 kids.

 

Jaina figured out how to put Mara's flip flops on!

 

After watching Fringe, Xander made his own Scrabble board with words/names from Fringe!!!

 

Xander and Mara LOVE to watch Phineas and Ferb!

 

Easter morning!

I love Xander's bed head! 

 

Xander haul!

 

Mara's haul! 

 

Jaina just loved seeing 'stuff'! 

 

Family Easter picture. First one at the new house. 

 

Then on to Easter activities at Mana's house. 

 

 

 

Getting ready to fill the buckets! 

 

 

My niece Finley and me. 

 

'Egg'cited girls!

 

 

Jaina only wanted to play on the swing set! She didn't care at all about picking up the eggs. 

 

 

 

What a major haul!! 

 

 

 

Let's see what's inside! 

 

 

March 2012

Jaina discovered the fun of trying on everyones shoes!

 

We have a TON of static in our house which is evidenced by Mara's hair! 

 

Sweet girl loves ALL phones! 

 

And Princess shoes! 

 

Playing peek-a-boo in the princess tent. 

 

Mara LOVES Ariel!!! 

 

It finally started warming up enough to try out the swing set left by the previous owners. 

 

 

Mara is such a good big sister. Always willing to help Jaina. 

 

The kids are just getting too big!!! 

 

Jaina found a hiding spot in the kitchen. 

 

CHEESE!!!!! 

 

 

Drawing a picture to send to Great Grandma Ethel in Tennessee! 

 

Updated picture of the house! 

 

Xander: always playing video games.

 

Me, Karri, & JD at the Disney Store 25th anniversary day!

Got some free Mickey Ears!

 

My silly one, always playing around!

 

February 2012

February 1st: Finally Mara's First Lost Tooth!

 

Tooth Fairy brought a 2 dollar bill!

 

She got a necklace from Kindergarten to celebrate. 

 

The girls discovered that playing in the 'hallway/landing' area is their favorite. 

 

February 6th: Lost tooth #2 

 

This time she got Gold Dollars from the Tooth Fairy!

 

 Shortly after we moved in we saw a mouse running around. We're pretty sure it got stuck in the wall and died. But then we found 2 more in Feb. After a TON of chasing and blocking off areas Pat finally killed them! (on different days too)

 

I LOVE this picture of my baby! Oh how she loves her blanket :) 

 

Valentines day called for heart hair!! 

 

 

On a warmer day, we took a walk to the elementary school so the kids could play. 

 

Jaina found daddy's phone and tried calling Mana!

 

 

Time for Birthday Celebrations!

My cake.

 

 Karri surrounded it with white chocolate Vinylmation guys and decorated them to match actual figures. It was awesome!!! 

 

Pat's cake: Boba Fett stuck in the Sarlacc Pit!!

 

 

Got a display case for my ever growing Vinylmation collection! 

 

 

Not sure why, but Mara wanted a picture of her on her bed.

 

Jaina set up a little bed on the floor beside Mara's 

 

I caught Jaina playing in the toy bucket after dumping it all out! Kids are funny.
