Easter

 Easter Morning: Mia's basket full of goodies

 Kellan's basket full of goodies

 Mia super excited

 this is what happens when you steal a baby's food from him:

you get to be a chubby cat! 

 Kellan was seriously soooo cute about his basket! It was adorable

 and he got this cute little bunny that he kept making the funniest face at.

 already whining for some chocolate

 out to search for some eggs

 Kellan was figuring it out

 awesome

 dad and Kellan! Rick just got home from work so he stayed awake to see what

the Easter bunny brought and then headed to bed.

 this looks like a very sweet picture and I'm actually shocked I even got them

before church. I had to get everyone ready and myself alone which completely verifyed

the fact that I can not be a mother of 3 EVER. So then we are 10 minutes late because Kellan

decided to rip his diaper off right as we are ready to leave, so that was fun...

Mia wanting to give him an Easter kiss! So then we get to church and 

Kellan just wants to run around crazy. He loves little kids so he found some boys who were

hitting him in the face which he didn't realize at first and then got his feelings hurt so was screaming his

head off, I had to go in and out because he was running around and fighting me, and then someone opened the chapel door right into my back as I was trying to get Kellan under control ( I almost started crying at this point) Mia then walked out at the end and said, "Mom I'm just taking myself to class, please just take him home!" that pretty much sums it up, so we went home and came back to pick Mia up. The thought of chasing him around for another 2 hours was enough to make me start crying ( again) so I left. 

On a good note, we got to go to my mom's house for a yummy Easter dinner with Brooke, Chris, and Marlee too and the kids did another Easter egg hunt so that made up for church. 

Happy Easter!!

Spring Break Carlsbad, San Diego

 We decided to go to Carlsbad for a few days

during Spring Break. I took a chance and rented a condo right off

the beach on VRBO and boy did I get a deal! Alot cheaper than a hotel room

and had 2 bedrooms and was soooo nice. We will definitely be coming back. This is Mia's 

excited face when she was her very own bedroom and then I told her Kellan was going to be going next to

her and she could not believe she had to share a room! But by the last day, Rick and I could hear both of them in their just giggling at eachother in the morning and she told me how fun it was for Kellan to be in the same room with her.

living room 

this was Kellan on the first day.. sitting on the towel and would not get off or get in the sand, 

he would even cry if he got dirt on his leg. The second picture is the next day when he was running into the waves. It was so cute! 

 Bre came with the kids and met us ( she's just a few minutes away) Mia was VERY excited to

have some cousins to play with. She loved it!!

 this goof ball at breakfast, his hair was so super curly on the trip!

 Laith and Mia

 we love the beach!

 we decided to go to the Wild Animal Park and the butterfly garden was

going on so that was fun!

 Kellan LOVED the butterflies 

 and the best part was the Lorikeets to feed!

 something unique there is that you get to go on a safari 

around the park to see the animals in their natural habitat. Pretty awesome.

 we happened to be eating lunch when they let this cheetah out for a walk! 

 fun!!

 Kellan's first time on one!

 Last night in Carlsbad, we walked around downtown, ate at an amazing pizza place 

and played one last time on the beach so I got these fun pictures!

 curly cue

and the beach was beautiful.
