About Time!!!

HOLY COW!!! It has been a long time since I've blogged. There have been a whole lot of things that have happened since the last time I blogged. And I think that the only way to do this is one thing at a time :-)...

KOHLTON TURNED 2...

I know I posted about this already, but I didn't post any pictures of his birthday. Kohlton is the funniest 2 year old I have ever come across. His personality is awesome! He is so funny and is always trying to make us laugh. One of the cutest things about him lately is that he is shy and has his "shy" face... looking away with a small smile. He is getting so big and in the last few weeks has really started putting sentences together. It is amazing the things that are coming out of his mouth! At Kohlton's birthday party, we sang to him and he covered his face and was embarrassed... totally cute!

He got a blue hummer from his Aunt Nilda that he didn't want to let go of while he was eating his cake... So how does one eat cake and ice cream while holding on to that, oh so very important toy?

Just dig in, of course! Who needs a fork or a spoon? Kohlton just dug right in... no hands! It was pretty funny and he ended up getting pretty messy.

I love the sprinkles hanging off his nose!

EASTER...

Easter was pretty fun this year. Of course, the PE teacher that I am did NOT put any candy in my kids baskets. Maybe that is me being a mean mom, but as Nevaeh says, "candy isn't healthy." :-)

So instead of candy, I get my kids a few toys from the Easter Bunny :-) Toys last longer than candy does anyway ...

After church, we headed over to Nilda's house to have dinner with Shawna and her family. Nilda stuffed some eggs and we hid them around her back yard for a little Easter egg hunt. We had to keep reminding Nevaeh and Hunter to NOT get the eggs that were just sitting around in the grass (those were for Kohlton and Jade). They all had a great time! Inside the eggs was candy, some money, and some tickets for little toys that she had gotten.

Kohlton had a good time looking for the eggs, but didn't really get the concept of it. Every time he would find an egg, he would stop and open it and try to eat or play with what was inside. I kept having to urge him on to look for more eggs.

While we were taking the picture of all the kids, Jade kept reaching into Kohlton's basket and eating the candy. Kohlton didn't even notice :-)

After we had our hunt and dinner was all cleaned up, we got the eggs out for the kids to dye. I didn't bring clothes that Nevaeh could get dirty, so I stripped her down to dye the eggs. Not only did the kids have fun dying eggs, but the adults did as well.

Just for Fun...

I was going through pictures the other day and thought I'd post some of my favorites.

ENJOY!!!

Bozeman Explosion

Thursday morning at 8:12 am, Boodles Restaurant in downtown Bozeman exploded because of a natural gas leak. Boodles, Montana Trails Gallery and LillyLu were flattened. The explosion and fire also caused significant damage to the Rocking R Bar, Pickle Barrel and the American Legion Hall. This all happened in the historic part of downtown where the buildings were built in the early 1900's.



I can't believe it. These are places that I have been and know well. It is sad to know that the next time I visit Bozeman, it won't be the same.



Here are some pictures that I have gotten from different places. If you want to know more or see more pictures, go to http://www.dailychronicle.com/ or to http://www.bozemantalks.com/ . There are more articles and pictures there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOHLTON!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kohlton!!!

Kohlton turned 2 today. I can't believe how fast two years has gone. It just seemed like a little while ago that I brought him home from the hospital.

Kohlton isn't feeling very good today though. He is very whiny and full of demands! It's almost like he work up this morning and decided to act like a 2 year old! He is usually very laid back and easy to please. I hope it is just because he isn't feeling completely like himself. We don't have a party planned for tonight, but when we have the party, I will post the pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON

Happy Birthday Jason!!!

Jason's birthday was on Saturday. The kids picked out some cupcakes (Backyardigans) at Sam's club and then we took them to his work to give them to him. Nevaeh said he had to have cupcakes to share with all his friends :-). For his birthday, I got him a TV tray... It is exactly what he asked for. I put a big green bow on it :-). Nevaeh and Kohlton got him some clothes... well, I helped pick them out too. I hope he had a good day. Sorry, I forgot to take picture!

We love you Jason!!!!

Happy Birthday, Baby!!!

Fever Update

So, we have been fever free for a little over a week now. Things are going good. But we are supposed to keep an eye on her. If the fever returns, we are supposed to call the doctor right away. They still don't know what it was or is, but we are just going with how she feels. And so far so good... for the last week anyway. Thank you for the prayers. We hope it doesn't come back, but we do have to go back for more blood work in about a month to make sure all the inflammation levels have gone down. I will hopefully have something more exciting to blog about soon. :-)
