April 2011

Well, it looks like I am back to doing a "picture" blog.  It's better than nothing right?



Randy and Keri came to visit.  This is Matthew with his cousin Bryn.  They are exactly 4 months apart.



Throwing rocks in the river.  Kyle would do this all day if we let him.

The first time Tyler held Matthew.  He got over his pink eye and so he wanted to.



My 35th birthday.  Ray took me to dinner and when we got home all these lovely ladies were there waiting to surprise me.  Ray had called them all.  I am not sure why I am not kneeling down so you can see everyone (sorry Christina I am blocking your face)  I have wonderful friends!  It was a great day.  As a side note, Matthew was 2 weeks old.



Grandma and Grandpa C came to see baby M.  Tax season was over--YEAH!

Easter egg hunt with the cousins.  It was a cold, rainy weekend.

Smiling at 20 days.  I don't remember my other kids smiling at 3 weeks, seems to young.  I am hoping it is a sign that he will be a HAPPY child.



He does get sad though!



Miss Kara in her Easter dress.  I had planned to add a pink ruffle and I even started on it, but it was taking to long and I didn't finish it, so it is just a white dress.  OH, well!

Kyle wanted to wear a tie, even though it doesn't go with his shirt.

Trent-- Can't believe he is 9

Tyler -- can't believe he is almost 8!

Kyle had a piece of gum, then he put it in his hair and said "look it's in my hair"  I had to cut it out.  Awesome!

Coloring eggs.  We did this like a week after Easter, but the kids didn't mind

Pinewood Derby -- Trent's care is the Neon Green one

That is it for April!  The first couple of weeks were a bit rough for me after having Matthew.  I think partly because I lost more blood that usual?? I felt like I had to lay down most of the day and my legs were especially week.  I gradually got better, thank goodness!  My mom stayed for a week and helped a ton.  Then she took Kara down to Enoch for the next week since it was spring break (Tennille and her kids drove them down)  That helped a lot too.  I love her tons, but it helped to not have her fighting with Kyle and having the older boys pick on her.  I asked Trent and Tyler if they missed Kara, Trent said "Kara who?"  I hope she survives being the only girl!
