What has been going on?





















I know I have not posted in a couple weeks. We have been staying busy. Andrew started his baseball games. He has two already and they won both. He is having so much fun this year. We will have two a week until mid June. Caleb will play T-ball this year and he is very excited about that. I think he will start in a couple weeks and it only last about a month. The kids all love baseball. Even Kaitlyn likes to try to bat and play catch in the yard. Besides baseball we are trying to get ready for a garage sale in 2 weeks. Every year we have a big one in the Koops Well Drilling parking lot. Since Mark used to work there we get invited to join too. Everyone always does very well. I am going through the house trying to find things to sell. I need to price all of my stuff yet, I am putting it off because that is the worse part. Mark is going to be gone this weekend for a bachelor party in Chicago. It will be strange with him gone. I couldn't tell you the last time he was gone over night. Mark's sister Heidi and her husband Mark are coming home to visit in two week. We are getting excited to see them. In the midst of all this we are still in the process of fixing up a bedroom upstairs for Kaitlyn. We need to finish the trim and then have the carpet layed. We are so close to being done. I will post pictures when we have it finished. Then I will finally have a toy room on the main floor. I can't wait. I guess I have rambled on enough.

Kaitlyn's 2nd Birthday


I can't believe Kaitlyn is already 2 years old. It seems like yesterday she was born. It sure has been fun. It is kinda sad because my last little baby is not a baby anymore. She is growing into a sweet little girl with such a fun personality. Happy Birthday Baby Sister!!





This is Kaitlyn trying on the clothes Aunt Heidi and Uncle Mark got her. She decided to put on all the clothes she got over her dress. It was too cute.
















Here is Kaitlyn enjoying some birthday cake.



She was not sure about the birthday candles she would not blow them out. Caleb had to help her.





She loved to open presents but she didn't want to rip the paper so she carefully untaped the packages and envelopes. She is sure different from the boys.



We got her a Barbie Jeep. We had it hidden behind the deck but when we were having the Easter egg hunt she found it. She was so excited and loved it.





Here are a few pictures from Easter.

Easter

We had a busy Easter this year. We went to church, went to grandma and grandpa's house and then we had an Easter / Birthday party at our house. Kaitlyn's 2nd birthday was the 14th so we had one big party. It was nice to have warmer weather this year. We had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. They thought that was fun. We hide 43 eggs and think it took them about 3 mins to find them all. The Easter bunny must not have made it very challenging. Here are a few pictures of the kids.
Brayden so handsome when he smiles this is rare
