Mackenzie 6th Birthday

Finally Mackenzie's bday has arrived. This poor girl has been watching all of her friends have their birthdays all school year. She was so excited hers FINALLY came. She invited some of her friends over and we played a water balloon toss. She also specifically requested "Pin the Tail." I asked her what kind of cake she wanted and she said Tinkerbell. I also asked her what presents she wanted and she said just a tinkerbell toy and some clothes! What a good simple little girl. I asked her if she wanted any toys and she said no just the one. Of course she was plenty excited about all the great gifts she got from her friends. She got to bring a treat to her school class. I think she had a great day. Here are some highlights of the day.

Easter Outfits

I was so excited about the kids outfits this year. I found them so early and I was glad they matched to well. Jeremy tried to match as well but we were in a early didnt really get a pic of all of us.

Easter Morn

Here are the kids showing off their Easter baskets!!

Easter Egg Hunts

Well I finally have something to blog about. Thats how boring we are but its ok. Boring means low stress. Both of our families live close so we squeeze both into the weekend but here are some pics of our Easter parties.

Our First Gum in Hair

We experienced our first gum in hair situation. I'm not exactly sure how it got in her hair she said she wasn't chewing it but whatever. Luckily with a little oil we worked it out quite easily and didn't have to cut any hair. This is about as exciting as it gets at our house right now. Which I am actually very happy about after our ridiculous February. I did have my wisdom teeth out the first week of March but after hearing lots of horror stories I am happy to say it was totally pain FREE. Jeremy kept trying to make me take pain meds and I kept telling him they didnt hurt. Well even after all the numbing and sedation wore off still no pain and I didnt swell. Although he did make fun of me under sedation, apparently I was quite a loud talker. Anyway I was very lucky. I told my husband my body just works better than most people I guess ???

Quick Update

Just wanted to give you all an update on Jeremy. Jeremy had a root canal in January and 2 weeks ago he had a post put in. After the post was put in his face was swollen about triple its original size. They thought the tooth was infected or he had a hematoma from the novacain hitting a blood vessal. Well after 2 antibiotics and an incision, it just got worse. Including a reaction to one of the antibiotics. Anyway he went an oral surgeon today and they made a new incision and drained lots of infection ( in nice words). It was an infected hematoma. The Dr. said it was a like a balloon so full it was about to burst. Jeremys body wasn't allowing the antibiotics to get to the infection. Anyway although he is in lots of pain. I think we finally have it fixed! Thanks again for all your support!

Our baby is 1

Adelyn turned one last week. Everyone always says how fast kids grow up. I haven't ever felt it that much until this last one. I can't believe she is already 1. It feels like I had her 6 mos. ago. She has brought so much to our family. She makes us laugh all day! Adelyn has always been a busy body. She crawled and pulled herself up at 6 mos. She was walking at 10 1/2 mos. Just like Cole she is a copy cat and loves to say words. She is such a fun girl and I can tell she is going to bring a lot of fun to our family in the future. I am sure most of you have seen her dancing videos, I guess she is just a talented little girl already. If you haven't seen her dancing video you should scroll down and she it. Yeah she can do the robot already!!! :) Here is a slideshow of her bday.

Jeremy's Knee Surgery

Jeremy had his 4th knee surgery this week. He had his MCL fixed and some arthritis damage cleaned out. It went great and in a few more days he should be feeling a lot better. He is already trying to plan surgery on his left knee. I know, sounds fun right. If any of you don't know Jeremy very well he is quite accident prone. The best part of surgery is when is comes out. He is very comical.

Waiting for them to take him back

Home after a nice short surgery. Cole wanted to cuddle with his daddy. He was still really out of it.

Ice Skating

We took the kids ice skating after we watched the Avalanche practice. Mackenzie got the confidence to skate all by herself

Colorado Avalanche

Last weekend we were able to drive to Denver to celebrate my birthday, go to a friends wedding and visit my sister. We took the kids and thought the drive would be awful but they did awesome. The kids had a blast with my sister and didn't want anything to do with us. Jeremy and I are big hockey fans and bigger Colorado Avalance fans. So we were able to go watch them practice and last minute we got free tickets to the game. It was so awesome. Here are some pics.

New Posts to Come

So I know I need to move on from Christmas here... Really. I need more than a few seconds to sit at the computer and since one of my resolutions is to stop being so lazy and keep my house clean. I can't justify sitting down here and posting new pics until my house is clean! So just to keep you posted I promise I have things to share soon. See you after the house is clean!!! :)
