Roller Skates!

Jaecie got roller skates for Christmas that I honestly had forgotten about until she found them yesterday and wanted to try them out. So, we went to our HUGE patio in our GIANT backyard (being VERY sarcastic) to let her try them out! She could move a little in them but she was very nervous to fall. She made sure I got the camera out and got a few shots of her sucess!

I think she was more into getting her picture taken than actually skating.....

Oops! A little crash, but a great oppertunity to get a picture taken!

Nathan on the prowl with his ball ready to torture his sister... he has been quite the bully lately!Can you see the determination in his face?

Game on!!! You can see the ball in the air and Jaecie dodging it, not sure if this one hit her but several of them did. It was hard to ask him to stop when it was so funny... the kid has to learn I guess, he is a pretty good aim, hit her almost every time!

HaPpY eaSTeR!!!

Nathan was sooo excited about his car bubbles that the easter Bunny brought him that he carried them everywhere! He even too then to church with him in the package! The kid cracks me up! Most the time I have to talk him into taking things out of the package!

Handsome little Nathan! Ready for church in his new Easter outfit!

We had an easter Egg hunt after church... here are a few shots of the kids!

Nathan on the hunt!

Daddy was a good helper!

Easter was fun this year! I think Nathan actually understood things a little this year! It's a little crazy to think that exactly a year ago this time is when all of our crazy moving stuff started! Since then we moved from Colorado to New Mexico and now Texas! Here praying that this year will be much calmer and that I won't have that much to blog about in the near future!

Notice the mouth full of chocolate... Nathan really loves his easter candy!

Spa time!

It was not quite hot enough to get in the pool this trip to Austin but the spa was just right! Nathan had so much fun!

Uncle Joe is such a good sport to get in with all the kids!

Neighborhood Easter Egg hunt

We headed to Austin for the Easter weekend. There was a neighborhood easter egg hunt that we took the kids to and they had a blast! Here are a few pics of the big event!

I could not get Nathan to make eye contact the entire time. There was just too much to look at!

Jaecie loved the Easter Bunny! Notice Nathan is not in the shot.. he rufused to even get close to it... I can't blame him, it is a little creepy.

Jaecie getting ready for them to yell go!

And she's off!Taylor and Nathan at the 1-3 yr old hunt

Once again... Jaecie is happy to pose for a picture. Nathan not so much!

naters checking out his loot!

Cute little Hannah hanging out in the grass.

The kids all together... I took about 10 of these and I did not get one with them all looking. This is about as good as it got!

My pretty little Jaeicebug!

Nathan, once again refusing to look at me!

Pregnant Ladies do crazy things!

Can you guess what I decided to do today??? With these lovely economic times I decided to try and highlight my own hair.... yes foil and all. The lady at Sally's thought I was crazy. I am crazy.
so here is the set up above.

Pardon the stupid look on my face but here is my hair color before

At this point I started to think how stupid I was for attemping this. I cannot see the back or side of my hair and I olny have 2 hands. If I could remov my head and then do this it would be a different story but this was hard and very scary!

To top things off I decieded to cut bangs as well. I chopped off alot of hair and here it is in the sink.

The finished product... Pardon the no eyemakeup... it got all washed off. It actually turned out pretty well and check out Jaecies mad picture taking skills! She cropped it all by herself! The color is a little brassy so I am going to need to get a toner but I think that I am going to give my hair a break for the rest of the day!

Easter Egg Hunt and Bunny

Jaecie is loving her new bunny! That is one patient bunny.

I tagged Jaecie out ther on her mad dash to get eggs.... she only got one egg but she got some other treats too.... it was crummy because they would not let the parents go and I think she was a little nervous!

She insisted on wearing her bunny ears the entire time even though

the wind kept blowing them off!

It's a..........................

Well , you guess..... what does it look like to you? (other than a baby....)

BOY!!!!!

Yes, that's right folks above are pictures of our baby boy! Jaecie took the news ALOT better than I thought she would and Nathan really does not get it. We ask him if the baby is a boy or a girl and he says girl everytime. I'm not really sure why but he does not want it to be a boy. Well, it's got all it's fingers and toes and looks to be healthy and growing well! Now the countdown begins until August 29th..... that's a really long time but if anyone has any good boy name suggestions I would love to hear them because Taylor and I are totally stumped. By this time with both the other kids we already had the names picked out so this is a little strange for us!
