Kaleb and his haircut!!

Kaleb is not a big fan of haircuts. He says "They hurt" I remember when Tom used to hate them too. Tom claimed that they hurt also!! I wonder if all boys hate haircuts?? Kaleb is getting better, he now sits in the car. He is pretty intense and he must think he is driving that car!!Whatever...it takes because he is getting the haircut!! It is almost done!!FINALLY!! but now just a teeny bit hairy, time to go home and get a bath.The whole haircut bribery thing only cost Kim a candy bar, not to bad huh??? and Kaleb is looking good once more!

The New Swingset~~all done!!

Don gave in and let Kim buy a swingset, even though his grass may get messed up. The purchase has been made and here sits the box in the entryway.Kim and I going to try and assemble this ourselves!! Kim was a little unsure but I am like Come on, we CAN do it!!! This was a challenge just trying to read the instructions but with 2 kids picking up screws and pieces and hittin each other and us in the heads with the pipe peices made it even more challenging!! Don supervised and mostly snickered at us, lol. After a couple tries, we got the teeter thing and slide together. Course the kids can't stay off the slide!!

Kim is like can we call the place back and pay to have them come and finish it for us?? She offered to pay, lol We all said no, we can do it, reluctantly she continued. The screwdriver broke and the power screwdriver went weak and then Tom came along and had tools in his car. Once we moved it outside,Tom helped us get it put together. Don said he just HAD to go to bed yah right!!! lol Kyla was our tester everytime we got an piece on it, just to make sure it worked!!Finally, here it is~~Our new swing!! Kyla just learned how to pump herself for the very first time!!Kaleb was taking a nap, so he hasn't been able to play on it yet. They are with Shawn this weekend, so come Sunday night, we all know where Kaleb will be!!

Well, Spring is here and with it comes new things:
Getting out of the van has a whole new meaning now!! New T-ball sets, pink for Kyla and red for Kaleb:Kim thought that she was being smart by buying them each their own batting thing, so they won't fight over it, which worked. But now they each are going....I hit mine farther than yours!! NO, I hit mine farther than yours!! LOL ~~I told her, that is just siblings!!

And........the newest member to be added to our family is............a New Swingset!! To be assembled t-0-m-o-r-r-o-w!!!!

Easter

Easter Sunday, the kids went through their baskets and saw all their goodies. We headed over to Valerie's house for dinner. Allissa hid eggs so that they kids could find them and they had fun doing that. They had so much fun that she re-hid them again. Zac likes the trampoline~~
Kaleb likes the swingset~~
Valerie proved that she can still ride the unicycle~~Kim can still walk on the stilts without stubbing her toes~~Zac shows us his tricks, he points and walks with his walker, talented huh??And he models his new bunny ears. Zac is all EARS!!! So, we all had a fun and Happy Easter and got home in time to watch Undercover Boss!! LOL

Easter Eve

We have a nice mailman that leaves Jazzi a dog biscuit every day and the kids each a piece of candy so we wanted to do something nice for him. The kids made rice krispie treats, shaped them like eggs and dipped them in almond bark and put sprinkles over them. They turned out pretty cute
and Kim had gotten a GC to Machine Shed, so Kyla addressed the front of the card herself. Saturday night, we went to Grandma's house. Duane, Mary Jo, Jeff and Natalie and Conner were in town. We had a dinner and it was fun. Conner is so cute and so big now and running around.Natalie and Conner~~
Zac has just learned to go up the stairs and he went up Grandma's stairs.Aunt Diane had bubbles and was blowing them for the kids.
Kaleb kept trying to catch them by biting them lol It was a good evening and we all had fun hanging out.

Harp Recital

A few weeks ago, Grandma Chambers had her very first Harp recital. There were about 40 harps involved and there were all ages of people playing. I had no idea the number of people that play the harp. They sounded so pretty altogether.They had some group songs....And they each had a solo.....
They all did a great job but you know who played the best don't you?
