Spring Break

It is spring break for Anthony so to celebrate we went with our friends to an indoor water park in Pennsylvania. It was so much fun, we stayed in a hotel and spent 3 days at the park. Here is a picture of all of us, doesn't Jessica look good, you can't even tell she is due in May.
McKenzie loved the bouncer the best.
Ironically, Parker also loved the bouncer.
It took Parker a long time to convince Anthony not to be scared and go down the slide with him:)
I am sure the last thing you want to see is me in my swim suit, but I took a million pictures, and it is my blog so you will like it.
Isn't he cute?
I know this isn't a will, but everyone remember this: if Anthony and I were to ever die Parker would like to live with our friends. Whenever we hang out with our friends Parker always runs and gives Jessica a hug, and grabs Andrews hand and drags him everywhere. He also loves Weston, they are like brothers always wrestling with each other.
To make a good vacation even better we swapped babysitting each night so each couple could each get a date. I am pretty sure this is the only time the 3 kids were holding still, they spent the rest of the time wrestling each other and jumping on the bed.

Last Weekend, This Weekend

I am a little slow at posting this, but last weekend we got over a foot of snow. The snow is so pretty. We got so much snow that church was canceled. Here is Anthony snow blowing the snow, with his little side kick following him up and down the driveway on his bike.
Thank goodness my mom gave us these snow man pieces, and Anthony's mom made the scarf so you can tell what this sorry looking snow mound is supposed to be.
Today we went to an Easter party at the mall. Parker had so much fun as long as he didn't have to be around the bunny. While this picture was being taken Parker was running as far away from this huge monster as he could. He was terrified of the bunny.
After the magic show we watched some Irish dancers, then watched the balloon man. Parker and his friends were absolutely enthralled with the balloon man. They stood as close as they could possibly get to the man, and didn't look away until all 3 of them had their balloons.
Here is Parker & Xandier with their hats and swords.

To: Grandma & Grandpa From:McKenzie

McKenzie is pretty much the cutest baby I have ever seen. She is so good and usually only cries if she needs to eat, sleep, or a diaper change. Lately she likes to play a trick on me. She will start crying, then when I pick her up she will smile her biggest smile ever and laugh, as if to say you fell for it again mom. She is so stinking cute. I thought I would record her smiling and talking, because if you (grandma and grandpa) where here this is what she would like to tell you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY AND PARKER

I don't think I have ever seen a smile so big as Anthony had when he saw his present. In that huge box is a 75lb sub-woofer. Anthony has wanted a nice sub-woofer forever so he saved up all his Christmas and birthday money (and will have to use future Christmas and birthday money for the next 5 years to repay the dept) to buy this baby.
Parker got trains, books and a zoo pass. After he was done opening his present he went and got the wrapping paper gave it to me and told me more choo choo(trains). Apparently 4 trains wasn't enough.
After the boys were done opening their presents they got to work at hooking the surround sound system up to that lovely sub-woofer. Once the sub-woofer was hooked-up Anthony spent the rest of the day watching action movies, the sound is so good you almost feel like you are there. Have you ever been stopped at a stop light and had a car next to you bumping so loud that you could feel it in your heart? When Anthony turns the sub-woofer up I swear my heart skips a beat, I hope no one with a pacemaker walks past our house when we are watching a movie, their heart will stop for sure.
Anthony and Parker each got to choose 2 friends to come over for dinner. Parker choose Ciella and Weston, and lucky for me Anthony choose Garret and Andrew(Weston's dad and Ciella's dad). They are great friends and made the birthday party fun.
28 candles sure does create a lot of heat.

I married a good man

This morning the kids were up, so it was time for me to get out of bed. As I walked into kitchen Anthony told me I could go back to bed if I wanted. He didn't have to say that twice, I handed him Kenzie and headed back to bed. I got to sleep until 10:00 a.m. it was great. Thanks Antonio'

Shaving

The other day Parker decided he was no longer a little boy, he was a man. While Anthony was showering Parker went in the bathroom, noticing he was unsupervised Parker decided to take advantage of the situation. When Anthony was done showering he opened the shower curtain and found Parker "shaving" a.k.a. cutting his face with a razor. Anthony decided to show Parker how to shave the right way. He put shaving cream on his face, then washed it off. Not thinking this through, Anthony then gave Parker some aftershave to put on his face. Parker took the aftershave and put it right on his cut. Poor kid started screaming, Anthony didn't do it as a punishment for shaving, but Parker hasn't touched the razor since.
You can't see it to well, but Parker cut up his chin pretty good and cut under his nose.

My hero

3 Weeks ago I survived a bird attack. The bird never actually touched me it just flew at me while I was doing the laundry and scared me to death. The bird was never seen or heard by anyone else, just me and I was starting to wonder if I was crazy. How come I was the only one who ever heard it?

Thursday that bird got caught in our heating vent. I had to listen the bird scratch and chirp all day but finally my husband came home from school to save me. The chase:

Here is Anthony trying to catch it in a sheet. The bird is on top of my fridge, it is the black thing just to the left of Anthony's head.
My hero, after chasing it around the house for a couple minutes Anthony caught it in his hands.
My favorite part of the whole thing was Parkers reaction. I took the kids and ran like a chicken into Parkers room and shut the door. Parker asked me to get him a blanket, I gave him a blanket then he went back out in the house to help dad(he saw dad running around with the sheet, so he grabbed a blanket and tried to help).
