Easter

We had a busy Easter week at our house. We had a bbq at our house Monday night for Chanda's birthday. Tuesday my Mom, Becca, and I went to Billings. Wednesday we actually stayed home, so I shampooed the carpet in Hailee's room and that night we colored Easter eggs. It was lots of fun! Hailee especially enjoyed it this year.

Thursday we went over to Burlington and dyed some more Easter eggs with Becca and her kids. It was much more messy the second time! Poor Kole's hand was almost pickled! They really enjoyed themselves though. Mom and I normally clean for Val on Wed. but she switched to Friday, so Friday afternoon we went and cleaned. Saturday we went over to Burlington for the annual Easter egg hunt that Grandma Cook puts on. It was really fun. We had a dinner after that, so we enjoyed some really good food afterward. Then Saturday night we had some family over to play games. We finally got to meet Chris and Shawna's little Miley. She is SO tiny! Her and Kortney are six weeks apart in age. This picture is of them in their matching jammies. Just a little bit of a size difference! I think Shawna said that Miley is up to 5 lbs 10 oz. I think she was 3 lbs 14 oz when she was born!

Easter morning was a little chaotic here. Craig had to work so I was on my own. Hailee was very pleased that the Easter bunny had been by. He brought too many goodies and "the dancing game." She has been begging for it since Christmas. She loves to play at Grandma's house, so we finally gave in and got it. It has been some great entertainment. It is Just Dance for the wii. After church we went and shared a delicious Easter dinner with Craig's family. It was a great day overall!

Isn't it time for spring yet?

I can't believe it has already been a month since I have posted anything... Life at the Winterholler house has been a little crazy. Our days have been filled with running to dr. appointments, dentist appointments, meetings and all kinds of other reasons to keep us on the go. I suppose it is a good thing my kids are "go-ers."

Kortney had her 2 month check-up on the 1st of this month. We are happy to report she is growing and developing quite nicely. Ok, so maybe I am not so happy she is growing so fast! She weighed 10 lbs and was 24 inches long at her appointment. I wish she would stay little a while longer. I love watching her grow and discover new things, but I kind of miss those days of just rocking in the chair and snuggling her all day long! She is a delight though, and such an easy going baby. One of these days she will get the giggle thing down. She wants to do it really bad and sometimes gets little ones out, so I am sure in no time she will get it figured out.

I think we are just hitting the adjustment period with Hailee. She has been kind of a handful lately. I don't know if the newness of it all has just kind of worn off or what. Our first week at church without Craig was "interesting" to say the least. I'll just say I am just grateful a fellow member of the primary presidency was sitting in front of us to help with Kortney while I drug Hailee out of the chapel wailing, "I hate church!" She still loves Kortney and is always telling me how cute she is, so hopefully this stage will pass.

We are definitely ready for spring, and hopefully we get it before summer arrives! We are looking forward to some warmer weather and the chance to get outside. Lauren is moving home next week so we are all very excited about that. Cailee and Chris are coming home for the summer too, so we are excited about that too! Hailee can hardly contain herself. I am going to to try to post a little more often, so I guess we'll see how that goes :)
