The girls with their Easter egg cake they picked out
One of many of the reptiles they had.
Kayleigh loved holding the snake:O
The tortoise roamed all over the room. Pretty cool.
One of the pools with chickens. Journey just squealed away:)
Trinity playing with bubbles at the carnival.
Journey playing in the pool filled with toys. She was soaked afterwards!
Oh so cute. They put peeps in the eggs and then put them in a chinese take out box with tons of colored mini marshmallows. The girls loved these!
The marshmallow peep station.
They had an area where they could plant flowers in this pool. Trinity LOVED this, she was so dirty afterwards.
Love this picture of Journey.
The girls at Albertsons after they had their faces painted.
Kayleigh pushing a girl out of the way to get to her eggs:) Thats my girl!
My creative Kayleigh coloring her egg oh so slowly.

Finding our eggs at Albertsons.
Journey sleeping, notice her spider bites on both sides of her face.

Once again, Kayleigh in perfect form:) Natural!
Trinity losing focus:)
Kayleigh put Journeys dress on the cat:)
Journey not enjoying her breathing treatment. My mom got her the penguin mask from work...too cute!
Jordan's medals. There are like 8 Championship medals on here.
Jordans trophies. There are 7 additonal championships here:)
Jordan with his coaches for basketball holding the championship trophy. Jordan won the heart and hussel trophy. Only 4 out of the 13 boys get trophies and he was one of them.
Trinity playing video games with Journey watching intensly.
Kayleigh modeling her pants (she never wears pants!)
Journey posing with her gorgeous smile:)
So much has gone on in the past months, I forget it all. To start off with, Jordan won his school basketball championship, so that makes 3 championships for him this year (2 for basketball one for football), not too shabby for my athletic son:) He sure does make a mamma proud, not to mention he really is a good kid.
Journey has been sick a couple of times since I last posted. Right after her birthday she got really sick again, almost to the point of taking her to the ER again, but watching her very carefully I took her only to the doctor to be told she had RSV induced bronchitis again. So once again we were on Albuterol every 4 hours, poulmocourt twice a day, and amoxicillen twice a day. That same week I took her to our scheduled appointment with the Polmologist and they prescribed her medicated nasal spray for the rest of the winter months, a sweat test (to test for cystic fibrosis which they dont think she has) and a blood allergy test to test for indoor allergies (however we will need to have her re tested at 18 months). We haven't received any of the results yet but will find out at our next scheduled appointment at the end of the month. Journey has been well for the past 2 weeks which have been great, other than the 3 HUGE, RED, AND VERY HARD spider bites she had on her face. Poor girl can't win. Oh and she started walking. Tried to get her to 15 months, but my husband doesnt allow them to go that far, he loves to teach them how to walk:( However she is cute when she stumbles around the house:)
About a month ago, I took Jordan in to have an Echo Cardio Gram and an EKG done just for precautions since he so athletic. Since we waited so long to have the test done, the gal offered to do mine for free, so why not, I said yes. Jordan's came back normal, but mine came back with Mild TR. I met with a Cardiologist last week and they redid an EKG which was normal. The doctor wasn't concerned with the Mild TR but she was about the chest pain I have been having. I believe it to be all from the stress. So she has ordered a Stress Test, Cholesterol Test and another blood test (forgot what it was for). Not sure I can take many more doctors appointments, physically, emotionally and financially. Our doctors bills this year have really added up:( !!!
Brent and I did indulge this year, and why shouldn't we? Brent works so hard and we buy nothing, so we took our tax money and purchased an amazing camera that is quality and will last a loooonnnnggg time. Oddly, no buyers remorse:) I feel very pleased with our decision and I KNOW Brent feels the same way.
In the meantime I am trying to finalize Jordan and Kayleigh's enrollment in a Charter School. I will still be homeschooling but no longer through an ISP, rather a Charter School so that they can purchase my curriculum rather than me! They also pay for Kayleigh to do Ballet, which is amazing. Can you believe it, I will have a child in Kindergarten and a child starting High School! Can't believe it! We hope to start Jordan in College classes his sophomore year, another benefit of homeschooling, getting high school and college credit at the same time for the price of books only!

Kayleigh and Trinity both started ballet and they are having a blast! Kayleigh is such a natural when it comes to ballet. I owe to all the Barbie Princess movies she has watched:)
For easter we went to Albertsons for a easter egg hunt, where they had free donuts, juice, face painting and pictures with the easter bunny. The girls got tons of candy! Then we headed off to Jordans old school for a free carnival where we had free food, drinks, ice cream, snow cones, rides, face painting, pictures with the easter bunny, live animals, reptiles and much more. Later we went to Chick Fil A for our free dinner where the girls played even more. For easter we hung out with my inlaws and my brother in laws girlfriend and played around while having a BBQ. It was alot of fun!
I hope to post more pictures later. So busy with everyone being sick!
