Crazy Kids

This has been some week! So many ups and downs, but thankfully the ups out way the downs.

Early Wednesday morning, our friend and business partner Kara had her baby! Patrick is such a little cutie! He loves to snuggle, and I am majorly baby hungry after holding him! Congrats to Kara and her family! I love the middle name they chose for him...Danger! Now he can really say his middle name is danger!

After doing so well at keeping my house clean, Nathan decided to have a food fight with the floor. I'm not really sure who won, but I know I lost! But he is always so helpful and loves to use Emily's pretend vacuum!



Emily's Nannie and Poppa gave her a princess CD player for Christmas, and we finally got batteries to put in the player on Thursday. Emily never took the ear phones off all day! She even wanted to go to bed with the player and we had to draw the line there! I love that she sings all the songs and even gets up and dances sometimes. Nathan is so jealous! Whenever Emily actually takes off the headphones and walks away, Nathan will walk over and put them on and try to listen to the music too!



On Friday we had our friends the Richardsons over for dinner which is always TONS of fun! We get to talk and catch up while the kids play. You'll notice that Emily, in the pictures below, has a scab on her nose. She was having so much fun playing that she didn't notice a drawer was open and ran right into it and scratched a part of her nose off. She cried for a few minutes, but was more interesting in playing with friends than being pampered and smothered by mommy!

We had our Easter egg hunt party tonight at our house. We hunted for eggs inside because of the rain outside (we actually had April showers!). The kids got a jackpot when it came to gifts from the Easter Bunny, and Nannie and Poppa got the kids Animusic DVDs which the kids wanted opened right then and there, and they watched and danced, and Nathan did his usual conducting of the music moves. Emily went wild looking for eggs and did really well finding a lot of eggs, even in the hard places that Robby put them. Nathan was so excited every time he found an egg he would almost jump off the ground then run to the egg, pick it up, smile, then drop it in his basket.





Then we had dinner and let the cousins all play together. Well as much as Allison who is 2 months old can play with her cousins who mawl her will love, kisses, snuggles and too much attention! Emily always wants to hold Allison, and most of the time Allison will tolerate it. Nathan has gotten in on the wanting to hold Allison game too. He walks over and tries to take the baby from whoever is holding her. While Jessica was changing Allison's diaper on the floor tonight, both Emily and Nathan got down on the floor with Allison and took turns kissing her. Yes, even Nathan gave kisses. He would lean over and give his wet open mouth kiss and say "mmmmaaaa" when he touched her face! Sooooo cute. Emily even got Allison to smile! I think these kids love their cousin!
