Good times, Family outings, sleepless nights




Yesterday was such a beautiful day. I wish it would stay like that all year round. Trust me we took advantage of the beautiful weather, My brother Michael his wife Whitney there daughter Jasmine and Elizabeth met us at the park. It was kinda funny because Michael and Garth took up with some local boys to play basketball. Mind you these boys were younger and in shape and my brother and my husband nearly died playing five games of basketball with them. It was actually pretty funny to watch. I will admit they did hold there own. Good job guys. I think the funniest part of the whole day was when Ali was climbing this little tree that had like ten branches and was maybe seven feet tall. She was also in a skirt. So, she gets up to this little spot to sit and she's so proud of herself because she did an awesome job and she calls out to me, I look over and tell her how great she is. She then proceeds to scoot down the tree branch and there is this little branch that's sticking out and as she scoots down her skirt gets stuck on it. She tries to get herself off and only makes it worse. She calls out to me again,"mom help me here" I look over and her skirt is all the way up around her waist and she's in her underwear. I start laughing so hard I can hardly get up. She says,"Come on mom. Hurry up." I go as fast as I can and get her down and then I thought to myself I should have taken a picture of that.
After the park we went to dinner and then came back to our house. Whitney and I left to Old Navy because I was trying to find Chase something to wear on Easter. We get in our head we want a cute sweat outfit we spend the next 1 and 1/2 Hrs or so making a complete mess and laughing hysterically because we can't find anything to match anything. We end up picking up a couple of things we know will look cute in and we go try them on only to be sadly disappointed. The legs on the pants stuck right on our calf's and boy did we look cute, But at least we had a really good time.
I have been use to sleepless nights caused by my six month old, but last night it was all my daughters sleepless night. She had requested sleeping on the kitchen floor. Of course this doesn't sound like a good idea to my husband or I but we let her do it anyway and oh did we pay in the end. I went in to there room around a 11:30 because Chase needed his pacifier. I hear whimpering and I'm surprised to see Ali in her bed and she starts crying about how bad the left side of her face hurts. I'm like what part and she says her jaw and some weird little part of her ear. I ask her like inside your ear and she says no and points to some weird part of her ear. Garth say he thinks it's because while she was sleeping on the kitchen floor her pillow had come out from under her head and he thinks she slept on it funny thus the pain. Any way her pain goes on well into 1:00 a.m. So, finally Garth goes and picks up some Tylenol from the store and while he's gone she's starting to feel better. She's laughing and being herself. He comes back and gives her some Tylenol and we all get to sleep at 2:00 a.m. Oh, what a day yesterday was!

Crazy Ali! What a goof ball. Gunnar got a sleeping bag for student of the month (from Grandpa). He loves it and wanted to sleep on the floor last night (in their room, at least), but I convinced him he could take the sleeping bag to the top bunk and be just fine - he slept great - ALL NIGHT!! Not trying to rub it in, only express my joy because he doesn't sleep through the night every night still at 5 yrs old. :) I am SOOOO elated that Spring is coming - love being outside!!!
