Kaylee's Turn...

So now for your viewing/voting pleasure...Kaylee's Portraits! I took about 12 of Kaylee and I like about 4 of them as compared to taking 7 of Jared and liking nearly all of them. Since Kaylee is older she will try to smile weird for the camera now but she did a great job!

Jared's Portraits

James and Jonah both brought home spring pictures so now that I have updated photos of them on the wall I decided to take some of Jared and Kaylee. I got mats and picture frames (finally!) that I had been wanting for years but never bought so I am excited to get all the children on the wall. I just don't know which of these of Jared I will use. I am washing Kaylee's dress I wanted her in so I will do another post of the ones of her later today. So, go ahead and vote! :-)

P.S. The pictures that are more vibrant I enhanced with my photo program so the other two will look just as vibrant if I think that one of those are the best, so don't be afraid to pick the two middle ones even though they are duller!

Where do they learn this stuff?

Me: Kaylee, do you want to help me cook dinner?

Kaylee: Yes, Mom!

Me: Would you mind getting me a spoon?

Kaylee: No, Mom...It would be my pleasure!

The past 3 weeks...

I know I haven't posted in a few weeks. Sorry! It has just been so beautiful outside I haven't spent that much time on the computer. Jared has learned how to climb up stairs and can now go up to the second floor all by himself, much to my dismay. We are thinking about getting a baby gate or something so he won't go up by himself when I am not looking.

James and Jonah had their first baseball game this past Saturday. James played second base and managed to get the ball himself and run to second to get 3 outs in one inning! He sure was excited and jumped up and down after he reached the base and knew they were out. Jonah didn't have such great luck. He struck out once and the second time he hit the ball and ran to first but they got him out. Hopefully tomorrow he will make it to the base!



These pictures are all out of order, but this one is from our trip to the zoo during Easter weekend. I tried uploaded other pictures but it didn't put them on. Maybe with the video at the end it was too much to put on here.



This is a picture of Jared's curly hair! It just doesn't look as cute in a picture as it does on the smiley baby that belongs to the hair. :)



Three little troublemakers.



After the Easter egg hunt in the backyard. They're going through their eggs.



This is of them dying the eggs. Jonah always gets a happy face for the camera.



This one is the oldest picture on this post from April Fool's Day. I made two cakes, one for dinner and one for dessert. Can you tell which one is which? In case you can't, the white one is a meatloaf frosted with mashed potatoes! It actually didn't turn out right because the meatloaf was dry. I think I cooked it too long, but the appearance was still perfect! The kids got a kick out of it!

This last video is of Jared "dancing." We turned up music and Jared has having a blast! I think I should post picture of the outside now. It's beautiful!
