A Fairy is Born....

It is said that the first time a baby laughs a fairy's life takes flight.

Last night I was playing with Ashton on the floor and he started to laugh. I told Kevin to hurry and get the camera. We were only able to record a little bit of it. I love when babies first laugh, it's so cute, I can't help but laugh myself.

Okay one more thing....

We have been getting a lot of comments about how much Ashton looks like Ethan and Izzy. Here they all are at around the same age.

Which one of these two cuties do you think Ashton looks more like?

Ashton
I think that all three look a lot alike.

Here are my little cookie cutter kids all together. Aren't they just so cute!

If you look really close you can see one difference. Ashton has blue eyes....yes blue! We aren't sure if he will keep them. So far they haven't changed. Kevin is happy that one of his kids might have his beautiful blues.

Silly Soccer!

Ethan has started soccer as well. He is in a younger group than his brother Cole. In this age group they learn the fundamentals, they don't play games. We call it "silly soccer" because well...it is. Ethan spends most his time working on a move we call the "The Kick-Flip". First he gives the ball a kick and than instead of running after it, he preforms a summer salt. All I can say is, Money well spent! Really all that matters is that he is having fun, and who knows, the kick-flip might catch on.

These following pictures are of the photographer trying to get a team photo. I don't think he got the so called "perfect shot". However, I think these show the true personality of the Cats.

I know, Cats, pretty sad name and watching the photographer try to get a picture was like trying to herd cats!!

Easter....Oh Boy!

We had a really fun Easter this year. It started with our tradition of coloring the eggs. Which is always a crazy affair. Every year I kick myself for leaving it to the last minute, but I think they turned out just fine. The kids were really excited to get their baskets ready for the Easter bunny. As you can see Cole is beside himself with excitement.

Ashton was tired and wanting his mommy.....but he was trying to support his sibs in the fun.

After all the excitement and all the candy, we had to get ready for 9am church. Needless to say it was a mad rush. We are still trying to pull off this 6 person family thing. Here are the kids in their Easter best.

The Butterfly Pavilion

We had some family come and visit us this past weekend. My parents and my sister Sallie and her family. Kevin's parents and his sister Jen and her husband Doug. They were here for Ashton's baby blessing. It was fun to have them come and make the long trip to Colorado.

On Saturday we took the kids to The Butterfly Pavilion. It is a kind of zoo for bugs. You get to see all kinds of bugs and all kinds of butterflies. The kids had a lot of fun.

Cole hoping that a butterfly will land on him.

Isabel really liked the spiders. She even wanted to hold the tarantula. However, they don't let kids Izzie's age hold it so Daddy held it for her. Grandpa J and I held it as well, it is not as bad as you might think. It was really cool.
