Spring Break Sleepover

We were going to have some good friends stay over for a slumber party but one was sick so the party was off. The girls were really sad and they cried a little.  So Caitlyn, Evan and I slept in Caitlyn's room. We had pizza for dinner and watched movies. Caitlyn was the first to sleep and then Evan was still going strong. he made a fish on the light brite and I think would have stayed up all night if I let him. It was still a fun night.




Great Wolf Lodge

This is Jeremy, Felicia, Caitlyn and Evan's 3rd time to Great Wolf Lodge. This year we had a couple extra's with us. Melissa and Shaley came along. Along with Grandma Karen and Papa Bill. We wanted to go around Missy's birthday. So here we are. We needed to have lunch first so we went to a mexican resturant called Casa Ramas. It was really good.


Once we checked in it was time for fun. Evan loved the green slide and so did auntie.


The girls wanted to start with a shower in the wave pool. Every 5 to 10 minutes the waves change from regular to wild and crazy. They can really knock you around.

Evan loves the speeders. He loves to shoot people walking by.

We had to ride the Howling Tornado. It is such a rush. You feel like you are going to fall out. Well worth it.


Evan loved the purple slide. He went down it about 50 times all weekend. I lost count.


We of course had to have cupcakes to celebrate Missy's birthday. YUM!!!

After a day of swimming we played a little Magic Quest. It was fun to run around and have our wands light up and find hidden treasures.

A little break for lunch. yes those are wolf ears.

Mom and dad relaxing in the hot tub.

Waiting for the big bucket to spill.



So sad we have to go home now. Back to the real world. Can't we just stay!!!

Elsie's 4th B-day

Today Elsie invited us to a play date a Jungle Playland. I let Caitlyn get out of school early today so we could play. We had so much fun going on the blue slide, black slide, red and yellow slides, the space maze, riding the toys, playing in the ball pit, Even the mommies played. We promised Brenda that we would go down the black slide for her. Most of the kids did even I did. We had pizza for lunch and then we ate cupcakes in the back of the van and Elsie opened her present from us. What a great day. Thanks Elsie and Happy Birthday!









Scrapbooking Day

What a fun day of Scrapbooking. Brenda, Deborah, Cheri, Jackie and I scrapbooked most of the day. I got caught up on my Project Life. That was so nice. We need to start having these once a month so I can keep up. The kids stayed with Grandma Karen some of the day. Jeremy went to a movie. Lots of laughs and friends. What else can you ask for!




Talent Show- Cupid Shuffle

Caitlyn's class decided to put together a talent show to earn money to help out an orphanage. Her and her friends danced to the Cupid Shuffle. They had  a great time. The dance is really easy to learn and keeps the kids moving.

Tetherball Fun!

MMM... Another new toy for the kids. Almost everytime we leave the kids with either one of there grandparents they come home with a new toy. The culprit this time was Papa Bill and it was a tetherball. It took us about a week to get it set up with working and the wonderful snow/rain. Caitlyn and I played a few games and so did Evan and Caitlyn.  We will need to get an old tire and cement to really get it so it does not wobble so much but our ground is pretty sturdy so it is working great for now.




 For the most part it was a nice day outside so we played out there for awhile. Yes that is our christmas tree you can see in the background.

Dr. Seuss' Birthday March 2nd

For the last couple of years we have celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by having Green Eggs and Ham. The kids liked there breakfast mostly. Evan was not into the ham but he sure ate the green eggs.

Evan helped me mix the green eggs






Then we ate them




Evan decided he wanted Red Eggs for dinner. Personally I could not look at them. It was just too weird. It looked like salmon to me. EW!!

Evan and Jeremy read a bunch of Dr. Seuss books. Then watched some Dr. Seuss movies
Caitlyn made a Thing 1 and Thing 2 necklace to wear today at school.
We had a fun night reading books and watching movies related to Dr. Seuss. Caitlyn made a Cat in the Hat hat but Jeremy was wearing it.
