Pictures with the Easter Bunny

Without the Easter Bunny.

The Easter Bunny came to town this weekend at a local photography studio, so I thought that I would take the boys to get some updated pictures.

We talked about the Easter bunny before Saturday and I could get a "I want to see the Easter Bunny - He will give me candy." from Chase. But all Cody would say was "No Easter Bunny." I guess I should have taken that as a clue of how the pictures and the outing would go.

They wouldn't even walk into the studio where the Easter Bunny was sitting, I got them warmed up enough to the idea of that but couldn't get them into the actual picture with the Easter Bunny. Once the bunny left the picture, the boys sat on the bench. We still didn't get a picture of Cody smiling. This was the best picture out of 30 that the photographer took.

Oh well, it was an experience and something to remember. Maybe Santa Clause won't be so scary in 9 months!

Sniffles and Coughs

Since Wednesday, Chase and Cody haven't been very good. We stayed home on Wednesday from school and work so we could try to recover a little. I was feeling sick to my stomach and Cody and Chase keep fighting a head cold and fever. Of course, the fever goes away during the day and shows back up at night time. The boys got to play outside a little during the day since it was such a nice day. We played with Play-doh.

They both took really long naps, even I took a short one! We were all feeling a little better on Thursday morning so we went to work and school.

Weekend at the Desert

We again went to the desert this weekend. It was a very relaxed weekend with only going on one Rhino ride to Sand Dam at Superstition Mountain. The flowers this weekend were very pretty. The weather was very warm on Friday and Saturday morning. The wind started to blow on Saturday afternoon and all night. Sunday we woke up to a little breeze and sun. Great weather. On the way home, we ran into lots of rain and wind, but we all made it home safely.

Here are some of the picture from this weekend.

Green Pictures

Pictures from yesterday for St. Patricks Day. Chase and Cody had so much at school today. They had an Irish dancer come to their school and dance. They painted t-shirts with their hand prints. I will post pictures of them later. Chase had already changed out of his green shirt but with his hat and necklace on he was looking good.

Cody and his green shirt and straw cup that they colored for St. Patty's Day.

Weekend Update

We had a busy weekend. On Friday, my uncle, the boys and I help my grandmother buy her a new (to her) car. She ended up with a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee at local dealership. She got a great deal. Kind of looks like this one. She is happy with it and will make it easier to get her in and out of.

Chase and Cody also got hair cuts on Friday. I don't have before picture (or during) but they really needed a haircut! They both did great sitting in one place and having it done.

Saturday we worked around the backyard and took off some brush to the dump. Made the backyard look a little bit better. Chase and Cody helped load it and boy were they tired that night. Cody even slept all night in his own bed. A rare treat for mom and dad.

Sunday Chase and Cody went to visit their great-grandparents, Pop and Grammy, while mom went grocery shopping. The boys had fun eating candy and goodies.

After we got home, Chase and Cody helped dad work on the Rhino and get ready to back to the desert. Here are some pictures:

No Pictures

Something happened tonight when I went to view my pictures off my SD memory card - all my pictures are GONE!! I am heartbroken. The last time I backed up is the beginning of December. I thought that I would be have been safe with my little card.

They were pictures of my boys at 2 1/2 years old that I will never get back. Pictures of weekends at the desert and family having fun together. Video's of Chase and Cody that I will never view again.

I tried to do a picture memory software online and it didn't find anything. Where did it go? In outerspace? I haven't touched my camera all week really (I know a bad thing). Then tonight I go to download a couple of pictures that I was going to blog about and my computer couldn't even find the memory card in the slot.

Well, since I have no pictures of post about. I guess I will just go to bed.

See post below for Baby Picture Sunday...

Baby Picture Sunday - Go Green

These picture were taken a couple of weeks before St Patty's day but they were the boys official 9 month picture. Their shirts say "My 1st St. Patricks Day". This photo shoot is one that I will always remember. It was so much fun and Chase just wanted to keep! What a great age they were then and what fun!

Weekend Update

We went to the desert this weekend. We went to a huge (over 1000) jeep were there, jeep run. The jeep run took place out at Borrego Springs The flowers are coming out and starting to be very pretty. The trails were very hard in the rhino, it seemed like I was having a hard time, for some reason. My arms are still sore from driving. There were lots of rocks in my way and I had to drive over and around them. We still had fun. The weather was perfect!

Here are some pictures of us hanging out this weekend.
