Yay For Fun Indoors!

So the weather here still has not made up it's mind if it is going to be Spring or not...but that didn't stop us from swimming! It's all thanks to the indoor pool out here in RR. Auntie Cherish is visiting us from AZ and Caden is just in love with her...poor thing has not had a moments peace anytime he is awake! (c: This trip to the pool was no exception and he was serioulsy upset when it came time to go because his (and his sister's) lips were blue and he was shivering! What a strange kid. But hey, we have to be creative to keep these little ones entertained (even if they do get hypothermia)!

As good as it gets.

I wish I meant that these just don't get any better...but really I mean that I just gave up after about 15 minutes of feeling like I was hearding cats and said "Oh well, at least it's documented"! (c: I *heart* Easter pics...just not mine...but I do still love those little rascals!

A Sad, Sad Day at the Edwards' House

Okay, so we had a family tragedy this week...Frank the Parakeet passed. )c: This happened on Tuesday and I am just now able to write about it. I am only being partly sarcastic because I actually did like that little bird and Caden (as previously discussed) was IN LOVE with it. It was a terrible event involving our miniature schnauzer...and Caden was devastated. We cried together for quite a while(Caden crying about Frank and Mom crying about Caden) and then had a small funeral. Some of you may be saying "it seems like only yesterday that Frank joined your family"...but it's been two whole weeks people!...plenty of time for Caden to become completely obsessed and now he won't stop talking about Frank and how he went to live with Jesus but he is coming back soon. *sigh* I think he is scarred for life. But I guess I should be glad that we got to have a little lesson about death when it was just a parakeet, right?

REST IN PEACE, FRANK, REST IN PEACE.

"Tenting"

The weather isn't exactly optimal yet for a camping trip, so Daddy decided that he would bring the camping inside. They were really roughing it...inside the climate controlled house and watching tv! (c: Caden has now decided that it isn't called "camping", it's called "tenting"...I can understand the confusion.

Ahoy, Matey!

As you can see, Frank is still alive and well, and UNFORTUNATELY, still at our house! But the kiddos seem to be partial to the pirate life as they seem to enjoy him perching on their shoulders. *sigh* I guess you can't win 'em all...

It's official...I am part white trash

So this last weekend we had some Monster Truck tickets fall in our lap and Josh decided that this time around, it should be a family affair, Skylar and I included. Needless to say, I was not exactly excited about the prospect of attending said event. It made me feel a little better that it was a box and not right on the floor...but still, monster trucks, really??? Okay, here is the surprising part...I actually kinda *enjoyed* myself! They had the monster trucks, but then they had dirt bike and ATV races, too. They had little 4 and 6 year-olds on dirt bikes, how adorable is that? (c: But you know you are a mom when the kids have a crash and one of them is hurt and you are crying even though you have no idea who that kids is. I'm so embarrassing sometimes...(c: Anyways, it was actually a fun little night, so I concluded that I must be part white trash because I enjoyed a monster truck show...Josh disagrees...(c:

In our most fashionable ear muffs and scruffy daddy...

Say hello to Frank...

This is Frank. Yes, Frank the parakeet. Don't ask me where that name came from (originally it was "sponge bob"), Caden just made it up. Uncle Rusty just took a trip to AZ and thought that the perfect present to bring home to his nephew would be a bird. Are you confused as to how he came to that conclusion?? Yeah, so am I. I promptly explained that this is not an appropriate gift for a three year-old and also that his mommy definitely does NOT approve! Unfortunately, so far the bird is still here and Caden is in love. DANG YOU, RUSTY, DANG YOU!

Oh, and thanks. I guess.
