Easter

 

Easter this year was fun. As our family grows I find how much more convenient it is to stay home on our own home for holidays.  Saturday we had to be at Araleigh's soccer game at 8 am and then after that all the fun Easter Egg hunts started. Here in Spokane all the big churches (all different religions) do Easter in a BIG WAY. Their Easter Hunts are amazing. They have thousands of eggs and fun things like jumping houses, free cotton candy, free lunches (hot dogs, chips, cookies), petting zoos, horse rides. They seriously go all out for Easter . . . we hit up 2 of the hunts. There were so many people but the kids absolutely love it. Then when Sunday came we had to get up REALLY early to make it to 9 am church. We got up at 6:30 to get the kids up. Of course the kids had a fun time and the Easter Bunny was good to us this year. There is nothing better then waking up and seeing the excitement in your children's eyes. So much fun. We let them play then headed to church. Araleigh was SUPER excited that her and Livee's dresses matched--- and Canden didn't care. Which Cory ended up not even putting him in his Easter clothes for some reason . . . such a dork. This Sunday was my first Sunday back to church. It was interesting and kinda hard packing Livee around with heels all day. I definitely had to lay down cuz my back was so sore.

Another Update.

Seems like I am so behind . . . which is funny cuz I am not really busy . . .just lazy I guess. Since last post things are still the same. No job but Cory is going to school still so that is a positive thing. He can work on it full time til we figure out whatever. After Cory got back from Minnesota we had a good reminder of how we don't like to be separated. He had quite a few life lessons learned and was reminded of how grateful he is for the path he has chose. I think the trip was completely UN-WORTH it. He could have spent all the time in Idaho with us having a great time . . . it was not worth the money he made for him to be out there that long. The week Cory got back was very stressful. We had Dentist appts and Dr. appts and then He came home on Wednesday. Just in time to take Canden to the Dentist on Thursday morning to get his cavity filled--- which he did terrible. They gave him a "loopy" pill and then burrito blanketed him. He did NOT like that. By the time they were done with the cavity and having FOUR nurses hold him down he was dripping with sweat. Cory brought him home and I think the medicine kicked in AFTER he left. He was SO messed up. Walking around like a drunk little 2 year old and just extra aggressive. I did not like this. Well we picked up Araleigh and then at 3:30 was ALL the kids Doctors appt. Araleigh had to get her Kinder shots, Livee had her 2 month with shots, and Canden had to get his warts frozen (again). Lets just say after Araleigh passing out and being monitored, Livee FREAKING from the shots and Canden FREAKING because of the warts --- I think the Ped's Office was glad to see us go. They probably thought I was Terrible Mom of the Year for doing it all at the same time. But for me anymore I just want to take ONE trip not 12. I had already been to the Dr and Dentist 3 times that week (before Cory got home). So I was SICK of going to the Dr. office. The only thing that I thought was somewhat good was finding out that my little Livee . . .is not so little. She was 13 lbs ? oz (I'll have to find my paper) and like 21-22" So that made her in the 90th % for weight and 50th% for height. My little chubbers is growing like crazy. I was looking back on the kids' info from when they were little . . . she is 2 lbs heavier than Canden was at her age. Seriously, crazy. She is getting to that fun stage now. She talks and smiles at us all the time . . . I love it! The kids are still crazy about her--- especially when she is talking. She is such a blessing to our family.
