Catch up time.

I felt bad I haven't posted any new pictures for a while, but after going through at least a couple hundred photos, I realized how busy we've been this last month. I'm still so far behind, I'll never catch up, but at least it looks like we've been having a lot of fun. I'm glad I took pictures, otherwise I probably would have forgotten most of it by now.

Kate's a big girl now!! Well, at least she has a big girl bed. When she will actually sleep in it no one knows. At least I wasn't sad taking down her crib since she has literally NEVER slept in it. Not even once! We have problems, I know. Like my mom says, "keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what your getting." At this rate my kids will be sleeping in my bed when they go to high school. She sure looks cute in it though.

Don't be fooled, this was just a quick nap...

Grandma Primmer is 80!! Congratulations grandma- you're officially old! I hope I look and feel as good as she does when I'm 80. We took her out for a night on the town. Spaghetti Factory for dinner complete with kids screaming, then home for cake and presents.

Michelle braved the car ride from New Mexico to catch Grandma on the tail end of her trip. Hattie and Kate wasted no time getting matching piggy tails.

The great grandmas, with the great big stinkers.

Grandma Primmer took the kids to their favorite toy store to pick out a toy. Hattie and Kate got matching babies of course.

Sean added another puppet to his collection.

Zoo trip with aunt Em.

Good nite monsters.

Kate's first trip to the dentist (aka "dada's work). She was such a big girl, she even let them clean all of her teeth. Maybe I won't have to spend a fortune a the pedodontist with this one!

Sean let them clean the other half of his teeth. I have to take him every 3 months so that all of his teeth can get cleaned. He has no patience for being a patient.

Since spring was refusing to come this year, we decided to set up the bouncy house in the basement. Best idea I've had in a while.

We hosted an easter party for the Barnhisel's. It was complete with lots of food, an easter egg hunt, and crazy kids on a sugar high.

Even though we already had 2 easter egg hunts, the kids were still excited to do it again easter morning.

I almost caved and got the kids a puppy this year. Sooo glad I came to my senses. Not so for Aunt Em though. No matter how many times I told her not to get a puppy....yep, another animal for the zoo they already live in. His name is Buddy. Kate loves him, and since Pip doesn't, we get to tend him often. It's actually great to have a puppy around for a few hours then send the little yapper home.

Is it spring yet? We went to the farm to find out, and yep- baby animals everywhere. Thank goodness! Cabin fever doesn't come close to describing what we have. Must go out and PLAY!
