April 2010

So April went by superfast!!! Most of the month was spent going to doctors and me feeling sick so not much fun went on. Our camera bit the dust at disneyland so no pictures from this family for awhile! We had a good Easter. The easter bunny came and visited the kids.....don't ask me to remember what he brought them candy....and something. Oh yeah shoes I think. Maybe some toys. We had dinner at my parents house. I was in charge of the potatoes. My sister and mom like always were fun and did an easter egg hunt for the kids. It was fast because it was a little chilly. We got the yard all ready for planting and weed prevention. Well I shouldn't say we. TIM got it ready. He brought in compost for the whole yard and weeded and got the garden ready for planting and even planted our stuff in our basement until it warms up here!

Colby has been playing soccer again. His team isn't doing as good. The other teams seem to have learned how to dribble and be agressive over the winter break and Colby's team stayed the same. But they have fun. We do find Colby running off the field whenever he wants without the coach saying so to grab a drink. He's so funny he wants a drink water all game long. He still is pretty agressive on the field and makes a lot of the goals. He has gotten hurt more and cried a few times but he enjoys it!

+We had a few BBQ/Hot dog roasts/marshmallow roasts at our house with friends and neighbors it was fun! I love having good friends and family over. We have some good friends that live by us that gave us a whole bunch of stuff because they were cleaning out finishing their basement and their boys are older and weren't playing or using stuff anymore. We got new Luggage, A new electric play truck for the boys and a set of dressers for Parkers room. Parker needed the storage space in his room!!! It's all be fun and nice.

Parker has been learning to talk and say peoples names and put words together its so cute. We sometimes can't get him to say a word right. We are trying to teach him some neighbors names. Craig is Kaig. Julianna is Anna. Trina is Noah(don't ask but he refuses to say it any other way) Jenn is gnenn. He loves to see them now he learned their names and talk to them and wave at them. He is starting to get into his 2's though a few more fits and he is stubborn! But can make you laugh all the time. He has my dads and grandpas sense of humor. It's cute.

Colby is still enjoying his preschool. He has made some friends and he gets to go to their house after preschool and plays. We are trying to learn that we don't throw fits when grandma comes to pick him up! He is turning into a big boy now. he likes swords, and action things now! he loves driving the truck around (the play one) and loves loves loves to argue with us and talk back and say no. But we love him. This has been the hardest stage for me. But I am sure it can be worse!!
