Update

I haven't blogged the everyday happenings in our lives for a while so I decided to do a little picture update. It's a little lengthy so just look at the pictures for the quick version.

*Caden has been really interested in taking pictures lately. He steals the camera every chance he gets and snaps some photos. His favorite two subjects...

Kamrie &

Spider man.

He's getting pretty good. Grandpa Steve would be very proud.

**We had another little bout with ear infection so poor Kamrie was down for a day or so. Her ears have been much worse than Caden's but she never acts like she is in pain. The only way I know anything is wring is the crazy high (like 104.8) temperature she gets. We have the routine down...keep the temp. under control until we can get her to the doctor, start an antibiotic, and she is better in no time. These pictures are so heartbreaking but I just had to share how adorably lethargic she was.

I was trying to get her to eat something but this was about the most interest I got out of her the entire meal. No objection really, just complete lack of interest.

Poor, poor girl!

***Caden got to attend a very "big boy" pirate birthday party. One of his very favorite friends out here who is quite a bit older but very good to Caden had an awesome party. The memory of the party lives on as he still dresses up and talks about the party often.

They all looked like this when I picked him up from the party. How fun!!!

Kamrie had to be a part of it all so here is her pirate suit.

****We finally got some warm weather here so we have spent a lot of time outside in the last couple weeks. The kids have loved it and I have to say the sunshine does a lot to brighten my world too. Here are some things things we've done outside...

Caden trying to perfect the art of kite flying. This usually involves getting the string really short and running as fast as he can to keep the kite in the air.

One of Kamrie's favorites...playing in the wagon full of rain water.

Caden and Daddy setting off a rocket he made at preschool. It was a hit.

Running, running, and more running!

And playing at the playground with friends.

All in all we have been keeping ourselves busy and having a wonderful spring. I didn't get any pictures of these ones but we also took a long overdue trip to the children's museum to check out the Curious George exhibit and took a trip to a local park to go hiking and play baseball. There has been studying, training for the mini, dinners with friends old and new, setting up summer externships, and vacation plans as well. We are looking forward to traveling to Idaho and Utah in June to my little sisters wedding and can't wait to see all the family and friends that are there.
