Happy Easter

The Easter bunny was kind enough to visit today.  He hid plastic eggs with jelly beans, peeps, and toys in the house.  And then raided our fridge and hid the real eggs outside.  Then we went to Grandma Dee's for dinner and some more egg hunting.  What a great day.

Makenna got a Hippity Hop.


The obligatory family photo in front of the Tulip Tree.

The Nana and her girls.


Papa Ray makes a killer drink.  Not sure what is in it but I could drink them all day.  We look like we are already 3 sheets to the wind but we have just started.


I post this video every Easter.  It cracks me up sooo much.  She is 3.

Easter eggs

We dyed easter eggs today for the big guy with the floppy ears.  The Nana was unfortunately covered in dye that didn't even come off with paint thinner.


I don't know why, but Makenna insists on making this face lately.  It usually accompanies a growl.  So ladylike.

Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet baby girl!

Today is Safiya's birthday.  We started at a children's zoo/ amusement park.  But it is rainy and cold so we didn't last long.  She also fell and ate sh*t making her mouth gush blood.  That was my cue to exit.  We then had dinner, presents, and cake.  A pretty mellow birthday but I think she enjoyed it.

The obligatory donut for breakfast.


At the park and standing on a toy with Baby Gracie.  She is only 2 weeks older than Safiya.



CAKE!  Look at Benjy's face.  She actually had wax on her fingers from touching the candle.  Oopsie.


Time for bath.

Makenna pushing her on her Princess Mobile.

We decided to start a tradition each year to honor her birth mom.  Because as we celebrate this amazing gift, Zinebesh is tending to a broken heart.  Each year we will plant something in our yard to honor her.  We also asked everyone to make a wish for her when we blew out the candle.  So, take a moment and make a wish for her.  We have never met but she is most definitely an amazing woman.

The Nana

The Nana is here!  Makenna oddly starting calling her "The Nana".  I think it gives her the respect she deserves.


Love her.

Plantronics

Benjy can spot a Plantronics head set from a mile away.  Or on tonight's episode of "Chuck".

EVICTION COMPLETED!

She's outta my room.  In her pack 'n play next to her crib.  But out of my room, and that is what counts!  Next step....getting rid of the pink and lavender.

It's cheaper than the vet

When we took Kiva in for her last ear pillow problem, the vet was kind enough to mention that this month they were having a special....$100 off of teeth cleaning.  Yes, I said "off".  Two problems with that sentence.  Obviously the "off" part.  But also that her breath is so bad it needs a discussion.  I agree.  That girl's breath is rank.  So we took matters into our own hands.

And I think they are a little better.  We still have the whole third ear growing thing but that's an entirely different post.  Oh, and we later found out the "off" price was $400.
