Burrito Baby

Mitch has always called the kids burrito babies when he wraps them up after their bath. Cora now request that she gets wrapped like a burrito after her baths. Both kids are in this picture Tate is passed out on the floor after being at Mom & Dad's house for several days.

Happy Birthday To Me!

I am enjoying my day off. The only down side is that it that the wind is so crazy that I don't want to go outside. Darling husband got me some wild flowers, love them!

Easter x 3

First thing when the kids got up there were looking for Easter eggs at the house. We then headed to church and after that we went to Grandma and Grandpa Aldrich's to see if the Easter bunny made a stop there. We ended our Easter tour and Grandpa Pam's and Mikey's. Needless to say it was a busy day for the kids and they were in bed before 6pm.
