Jumping Around

The weather is finally getting better. We did alot of work on Saturday in the backyard. Today after church the girls wanted to go jump. It scares me to have Carsyn on there but since she can climb in all by herself there is little I can do to stop her.

The ball is so fun to throw!

Callie amazes me on the tramp. At gymnastics she does so many tricks that I never thought a 5 year old could do. Wow!

She is ALWAYS on the go!! No stopping her!

Sports Birthday Party

On Saturday Callie had a birthday party for two boys in her class. It was at a HUGE indoor sport place that is filled with different type of courts. Callie has always said that she wanted to play soccer. Chris and I have gone back and forth about it. I have this vision of Callie out on the field and the ball coming towards her. All I can see is her screaming and crying. Well after this party I know that would be the correct image! She cried at first because she did not know what to do. They were just practicing kicking the ball into the goal. She was sad because there were people running everywhere. Well after about 10 minutes she got with it and was fine (until we played basketball) My prayer for Callie is that she will get over this fear of things so that she can enjoy life. She has such skill and she misses out on so much because of her fear! All in all though she did have a great time!

Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. We did some Easter egg decorating and some planting in the yard. Sunday we got up and went to church. Then we headed to Aunt Kristen's house to eat and play. We had a wonderful time.

Start of Spring

Today the girls were playing outside. I snapped these pictures of them that I love! I had to share! Sweet babies!

18 month check up

Carsyn had her 18 month check up on Monday. I really can not say that it was a well visit. Of course she was sick with Hand Foot and Mouth. Poor thing. She got a great report though. How we love Dr Newton! Her stats


Weight 21 pounds 15 oz. (10th percentile)
Height 32 inches (50th percentile)
Head 17.4 inches (5 percentile)

She look cubby that to us but that is because her sister is so long and thin. He was very happy with her development and speech. With that said he did say and I quote, "You have your hands full with this one!" Don't we know that! He agreed with us that she is very sweet and has a very outgoing personality, which can also get her in a little bit of trouble! She always has us laughing and crying, sometimes at the exact same time!
My dearest Carsyn, you wake up with a smile and fall asleep each night with one on your face! We are so lucky that God has allowed us to raise you! We learn so much from you each minute of each day!

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

Today our neighborhood had a little egg hunt at the park. We were a little nervous about going for two reasons
1) Carsyn is sick
2) Callie is pretty scared of big crowds and she always ends of crying and we end up frustrated with her

We had a great time! Carsyn was happy but not all over the place like she would have been if she felt 100% so I could actually manage her.
Callie was not shy and even introduced herself to some of the kids in the neighborhood. She did have some tears at first when all the kids went running for the eggs but she was ok. She went down the slide twice and LOVED it! We are so excited about when the Easter Bunny comes to our house!

Disney on Ice

Today we got treated to a wonderful performance. Gigi, Kristen, Spencer, Callie and I went to see Disney on Ice. It was really good. The kids loved it. Spencer was as intrested as Callie. I think they both held their breath the whole performance. The best part of the day was when we were all sitting and Callie said," Mommy did you know that Lady Gaga is coming to Dallas? Can I go?" To this comment Spencer says ,"Lady Gaga!!" We all looked at each other. Sure enough we look up and see the sign about the upcoming concert. It made us all laugh!
Thank you Gigi for such a wonderful day full of memories!

When I asked Callie which part was her favorite she quickly said, " All of it!"
