Easter Pics 2012

We love this action shot but Mommy really needs a better camera!

Similar to a photo from last year

Up close with those big blue eyes!

Now this is Kayla!

I love this one too, she was playing peek-a-boo!

Also, very similar to a photo taken last year.

Trying to stop and smell the pansies!

He loves me, he loves me not...(she really was saying that!)

Mommy likes the fence photos but wish the play equipment wasn't in the background...oh well.

This picture was taken just before she fell over! We were playing chase and she just cut that turn too much!

No more pictures please!

We end on that note, before she dumps herself and her new dress onto the ground!

Guinea Pigs Everywhere!!

Our newest family member Linny. One of Kayla's birthday presents!

So after getting Linny I decided he needed a friend but didn't want to carry two guinea pigs across the country when we move to CA so I decided to volunteer with MGPR (Metropolitian Guinea Pig Rescue-yes a rescue does exist just for guinea pigs) in hopes of fostering a friend for Linny. In just one month here are a few that we have cared for...

This is Cherry, my first foster who just got adopted this past Sunday!

This is Trinity-I got to name her and her sister's because I picked them up from the Alexandria Animal Shelter.

This is Tiger and Able (Able was actually disabled and so I tried to give her a positive name :) these are Trinity's sisters, the oldest and youngest. I have then had Mocha not pictured yet who just left me to get spayed and currently am fostering Juno, also not pictured but will be shortly! Kayla loves having so many guinea pigs around, and so does John (not!)

Goodbye bush!

So... we had a bush that blocked our side walk to our front door. We couldn't trim it back because the center was dead looking and brown with only the outermost leaves being green, so Daddy and Kayla removed it for me :) Now we have a smaller new bush in its place! John wanted to make sure the flag was in the background because it surely was a victory taking several hours and a six pack of beer!

St. Patty's Day Party

Reading a story

Paying close attention with Kira, so cute!

We found gold! It was so cute. A leprechaun came running through, rainbow following and we had to find the end of the rainbow. At the end of the rainbow was a pot but it was missing its gold. All the kids were told to find two pieces of the leprechaun's gold each. This is their victory shot!

A clover with a lady bug on it!

So happy!

She had such a fun day reading stories, playing games, dancing and singing all about St. Patty's Day!

Such a cute song with fun hand gestures Kayla was so good! Hope you enjoy the video as much as we do!

Do you think she enjoyed herself?

High back booster!

She is so excited to be out of her old car seat and into her new booster. The law in VA is that the child must be 4 years old and 40lbs. However, her doctor at her three year check up informed me that she is basically the size of a 4 year old for height and weighs 35lbs. She told me it is safer for her to be in this then to have her old car seat fit incorrectly. One of our friends use to be a volunteer fire fighter and he told me about the strap needing to come from the top of her shoulders down and not from her shoulder blades up and then down. Not at all safe so we are happy she has a new seat and that her doctor agreed with me!
