Easter Fun!

 This year the kids had fun dying Easter eggs and then they had a Easter egg hunt. 

Sad Week

 The last couple of months the kids and I have been sick a lot. About a week ago I took Keanan into the doctor for his well check for Kindergarten.  We found out both of the kids have asthma.  That is why the kids haven't been getting better.  Dan and I decided that it would be best to get rid of the cats.  This was a hard decision because we all really loved them.  It broke my heart when I told Keanan we were getting rid of them.  He cried a long time.

Last picture of the cats:(

Keanan has always wanted a baby snake so we decided to get him a snake to replace his cats.  Keanan went with Dan to the pet store and picked out the snake that he wanted.  He didn't get a baby one but that didn't bother him to much. 

Keanan and Olivia helping dad clean out the cage.

The new snake and it's name is Sharper!

It has been about a week since we have gotten rid of the Cats and the kids have been doing much better.  There coughs are gone and we gone a week with out being sick.

Brave Keanan

 

We found this little guy at our rental house while we were clean it.  Don't worry we didn't keep it!  Keanan tried to get me to pick it up but I couldn't do it.  I told Keanan that I would give him a quarter if he picked it up.  I didn't think he would do it but as soon as I said quarter he grab it.  He was so excited that it did it.  I wish I had gotten a picture of him holding it.

Busy Week

 This last week Daniel had Surgery on his right shoulder.  The surgery went well and now we are in the recover stage.  It will take about a year for him to be back to normal.  Hopefully this will be his last shoulder surgery! 

 For almost a year now I have been helping a ballroom dance teacher out with his students.  I am the stand in girl for his male students that don't have a partner.  One of the student I help out with likes to compete.  We do several competitions a year.  This past week we competed in Tucson.  This time Keanan got to come with me and watched.  Everyone was amazed at how well behaved he was.  He also really enjoyed it.

    

 This is Wren.  He is Dan's new co-worker.  Olivia is in love with him.  She gets so excited to see him and she always has to give him a hug and kiss before he leaves!

 Here is Keanan and Harry having car races!  Harry is the little boy I babysit two days a week.

The is just a random picture from last week.  Olivia is practicing so when she old enough she can go shooting with dad!

Lets Go Fly A Kite!

We go to the park every Friday with other families in our ward from church.  This last Friday we had a lot of fun.  Our friend pick up some kites because it was the perfect day to fly them.  I'm so glad she did.  I had forgotten how much fun it was.  This was the first time the kids had ever flown kites and they really enjoyed it.

Olivia doesn't need my help any more on the slides, but they still make her a little nervous.

They are getting more and more confident on the equipment! 

Keanan has learned how to swing all by himself!

Fun Pics

 Olivia got in to my mascara and got it all over her and Keanan's matters. 

 Being Silly!

 Keanan built these tracks.  He does a good job!

 My little helpers.  Keanan helped me out and vacuumed the living room.  He is not quiet tall enough so the vacuume didn't pick anything up.  Its the thought that counts. 

Dan made a car for the kids out of the diaper box.

The Kitten

 Frosty now has a brother.  We got the kitten we were suppose to have gotten in December. It hasn't got a name yet but we are working on that.  This kitten is very friendly, playful, and cuddly.

 It so small it fits in Dan's packet!

 This kitten will be lucky if it survives Olivia. She loves it to death.  

The kids love holding it and it surprisingly doesn't put up much of a fight.
