April Adventures

It's time for the Easter post!!
We had a busy April. Caden did a couple of spring break day camps with his cousins. On Easter weekend, my mom and my cousin Jill and her family and her mom, my dear Aunt Cathy came for a quick visit. We ate and laughed and reminisced. Thanks for stopping by, guys! The Easter Bunny was good to the kids this year.


Decorating eggs
While we were in a decorating mood, we finally finished our last gingerbread house from Christmas. I put it up on the counter to harden up, and went upstairs. Soon I noticed how very quiet the house was. I snuck back down, and peeked around the corner to find Caden and Soleil standing on stools whispering to each other and picking the candy off of the gingerbread house. This is them "getting caught."
I love Caden's face, but I'm a little nervous that Soleil isn't fazed at all by being caught.
Caden showing off some of his Easter wares.
Why does my 2 year old have more toned arms than I do?? She doesn't even care about toned arms!!
Still...how cute is she??
Trying for a Easter pix with Grannie. Soleil is all attitude already - heaven help me!
My mom's friend Penny and her 2 daughters came down from Canada to defrost for their spring break. We played at the beach and Legoland, and laughed at how quickly those Canucks got sun-burned here in sunny SoCal. And it's always good when my mom comes to visit!
The last weekend of April I flew to Austin to watch my little sister in her last high school drill team recital. It was so much fun to see...I'm so proud of my youngest sis!! Of course I forgot my camera, so Melissa - email me some photos!! It was a quick trip, but it was fun to just be daughter and sister, and leave the parenting to Scott for the weekend. Thanks, honey!! I love you!!
As soon as I find the camera, I'll post about May.

Soleil's Easter dress is adorable. I expect nothing less from you however. You have a reputation to uphold. Does she lift weights?

Caden is equally adorable and I love his just got caught face.

your kids are too cute. it looks like you had a very fun easter. with so many visitors coming how do you ever have down time! seriously though, if you see a month empty of visitors, let me know. i could use some good san diego sun!

We had a blast, and don't worry, Soleil just isn't to the part where she understands she is being naughty yet. That is a good thing. It is like when Avery tells me the "naughty" thing she just did. Miss you guys!
