Video: Pics by Kassidy / Shane and Sunset

Video: Playing games with Daddy

Update

Sorry that the postings to this blog have been few and far between. Three weeks ago, life as we knew it stopped with Shane getting sick with croup and then Kassidy getting sick two days later and ending up with an ear infection and then Mommy getting sick two days after Kassidy and having an ear infection too. And then not to be outdone, 4 days after my ear infection, Shane got an ear and sinus infection. FYI - ear infection pain is the worst pain I have ever felt, even more then kidney stones and having a c-section. Ear infection pain would be an excellent form of torture! This week is the first week that we kinda got things back to normal (whatever normal is for us) even though we did pass our flu bug on to Daddy. At least I thought so until Wed night when out of the blue Shane threw up all over me without even a warning at 9:30pm. The he continued to throw up for about 24 hours and then it was magically gone again. So hopefully, things will start jumping here with summer coming and I will be able to post more things more often. Kassidy starts kindergarten in either July or August depending on which track I get her on (it is year round school here) so I am sure a whole new set of adventures are just around the corner!

Scooters

The kids got new scooters while they were sick. Shane got Diego and Kassidy got Dora. Kassidy says she can't ride hers until she has a helmet....I guess she got that from one of her shows. How did we ever survive growing up?

Monkey see, monkey do



If Daddy wears his sunglasses on his head, then Shane has to also!

Slideshow: Goodbye April, Hello May

Shane decided what colors to use for the words and how to transition between each picture!
