2013 School Carnival

Aeden almost got to the top of the rock wall this year at the carnival!

 

Getting ready to do the Zipline!

Chrisi's New Hat

I got a new hat! I love it but now it reminds me that I want a new hairstyle. I still want it to be short but not shorter than it is currently.

I currently have a side part which I think works with my round face. I have to be able to wash, comb & go. That is the amount of time/effort I have for hair.

Ideas?

Record Egg Hunt

This year it took Aeden 27 hours and 45 minutes from start to finish to find the 40 eggs that were hidden at our house.

Easter 2013

Here are some pictures of the cousins on Eric's side.

 

The big kids eating. 

 It amazes me how much Aeden is starting to look like my side of the family.  We were randomly in Barnes & Noble the other day and the cashier commented that she would have known he was my son because he looks just like me!  

 

 

The Princesses

The BOYS!

Aeden:  "I'm so tired. I didn't have enough to drink at the party."

Aeden: "Can I please have an alcoholics* wipe?"
