Wild on the Weekend



This weekend was a blast for us. On Friday night we had dinner with our neighbors and had a great time. It is always a fun time with the Millsaps. Jennie was fascinated with the camera and took a picture of herself with (okay with a little help). I thought it was a pretty darn cute picture so I had to share.





Caitlyn didn't stop until we got home and then went straight to bed. I didn't hear a peep out of her until about 1:00 in the morning when I was so tired that I just brought her to bed with me. Luckily Chris fell asleep on the couch and stayed there all night.. :) Caitlyn and I got the big bed to ourselves.

I got to experience a little father-daughter fighting on Saturday morning. I could hear the two of them going at it in the spare bedroom. Pretty soon Caitlyn came and pulled my hand. I walked with her and she took me into the spare bedroom where she just started yelling at Chris. I did everything I could not to let her see me laughing. It was the funniest thing and she thought she was going to get away with yelling at Dad if she brought Mom is as reenforcements. If only we could have understood what she was saying because I think Chris was missing half of his butt afterwords, she chewed him a good one.

On Saturday Caitlyn and I got to rake the yard. My little helper was at it again, she was determined to help me out even if it meant pulling the leaves back to where I just raked them from. But we got the job done, well at least for the front yard.





Easter Egg Hunt at Aunt Sharon's house


Sunday we went up to the park in Clive for a little while after having a late Easter egg hunt at Chris's Aunt's house in Adel. Caitlyn had a blast at both but I think she liked the park better. We had to carry her to the car kicking and screaming!








Come on dad, hurry up.. what is taking you so long!

Is Spring ever going to appear


Okay, so I had some very wishful thinking this morning that Spring will come this year. After the rain and then monstrous snow flakes yesterday, I was starting to wonder. But this morning I decided to think differently about the forecast. It is supposed to get in the upper 50's today and Caitlyn refused to put on jeans this morning so I pulled out one of her jumpers. So everyone, think Spring with us!


Crazy and Wild times

Believe it or not, we are completely used to the crazy and wild things that Caitlyn does on her climber. At first we were a little worried she was going to hurt herself but know if she were to ever use the door to get in we might get even more worried.

Friends and Family

We went on vacation with some great friends that I consider family. Caitlyn had her papa all weekend and all of us knew it. She was even calling papa on the phone when we got home.



The big comfy chair in the village.

Mia, Caitlyn and Logan ice skating but with no ice skates... Hum, interesting.


Mom and Caitlyn


Swimsuit and Ski boots all in one day...


Easter on the road


The Easter Bunny is able to find kids anywhere and Caitlyn learned that this year... Somehow that Easter Bunny found her while on vacation and still managed to spoil her. The only thing that is not in the picture is the gigantic pink duck!


Caitlyn's Vacation time




This is the only way we could get Caitlyn to nap while we were in Colorado.


and we were not to happy to see the easter bunny
