Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday!
We celebrated by dying Easter eggs on Saturday in preparation for our Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Ansley LOVED dying the eggs and took so much pride putting the stickers on each one of them. On Sunday we went to church and then spent the day with family at our house. It was a wonderful day. Here are some pictures of the girls for you to enjoy!
BTW-- Ansley loves hunting Easter eggs, however she doesn't like to go in the house and close her eyes. She just follows me around while I hide them and then goes back with her basket and tries to remember where I put them all. She is really quite good at it. In the meantime after about 6 hunts, we kept losing some eggs. We had a mystery on our hands. . . Finally, we sat down to count how many we still had. Out of 17 eggs, we only had 12! Then we think we figured it all out on the next hunt, when we saw our beloved black lab up on her hind two legs reaching in a tree to get an egg!! She ate it shell and all!!! We also caught her digging a blue egg out of the grass. We now know she was enjoying the easter egg hunt too! :-) So, we think we solved the mystery of the missing 5 eggs. However, I am not looking forward to tonight. . . we are going to have one STINKY dog!

Here are the pictures of the girls~

Kylie loves these Gerber snacks! The Easter Bunny is smart!

Funniness and Frustration

So I have to share. . . my little laid back Kylie is now officially into EVERYTHING! Which means anything she can get here hands on, also goes in her mouth. So, today on the playground, I hear another teacher say, "Amy, look at Kylie!" I look over and she has mud pouring out of her mouth!! Picture it, it looks like she has eaten 30 hersheys kisses at the same time and they are melting out of her mouth, and all over her clothes.
Last week, they airated( not sure I spelled that right) our playground and some of the plugs are still lying around--not such a good idea when you have lots of little ones running about. We haven't taken the kids out in almost 2 weeks, so we had to take them out today. The rest of the kids have been really good about not putting what is left of mud plugs into their mouths. All except for my sweet Kylie, who was gagging, and choking, and sputtering, trying to figure out if what she ate was really worth trying. So after a quick scramble to get what is left of the mud and a small pebble out of her mouth, we get her cleaned up. But, what a sight, I tell you! Hopefully she learned her lesson. Mud is not yummy afterall!

Now on with a little prayer request for Kylie.
Being the second child , she has always been a little more sickly than Ansley and then compound that with the fact that she just started daycare for the first time in January. Well, she is having a lot of problems with her ears suddenly. She has had 4-5 ear infections in a row since starting daycare in January. It has become extremely frustrating and is VERY stressful to me. Although the doctors do not seem concerned at this point and have never proposed tubes(they are very conservative), I, of course, worry about this possibility a little further down the road. Please keep my family in your prayers as we endure yet another ear infection this week. Pray that God will grant her little body the strength to fight through yet another little battle within her ears and that her ears finally clear.
Without getting into the subject too deep(I will spare everyone the details. . . ) also please pray for our family as we go through the application process of a enrolling into a new, better, health insurance plan. I definitely need your prayers as I try to make the best decision for my family.

Disney Playhouse Live

Thanks to Aunt JuJu, we enjoyed enjoyed the day in Birmingham to see Disney Playhouse Live las Saturday. Ansley loved it and was very sad to see it end. She participated so good too! Here are a few pictures from our day. By the way, Aunt JuJu spent more on the souveniers than she did on the tickets. . . but she Ansley loved them and was very thankful. Thats what Aunts are for. Thank you Aunt JuJu! See our pictures above!

Kylie stayed at home with Grandma and PopPop and had a great time! She really wouldn't have enjoyed it and most definitely wouldn't have stayed still! She loved her time with Grandma/PopPop time the best!
