March Madness




Are you tired of my March Madness yet?  No-not baketball!  Just my crazy Califorina trip.   I warned you that I had a lot of post, but what can I say?  We did fun stuff the ENTIRE time I was there. :) It may have been madness, but I would not have had it ANY other way.


***Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of this post to see my video. I wanted it up near the top, but I'm just not that great at this blogging thing!***


I traveled back and forth from sister to sister to sister all in the name of LOVE!  Thank you guys for being so willing to host my family while we were in town.  I truly appreciate it.  You all take such good care of my kids and me while we are in town.  You are the BEST big sisters in the world.





We went to this beautiful park near Candice's house a couple of times during my trip.  We played, hiked, BBQed, and shared lots of laughs togeher.






While I was at Courtney and Alex's house, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day.  The Leperchaun made a stop, left goodies, dropped off Lucky Charms, and dyed our milk green.  I did not get any pictures at breakfast, but I managed to snap a couple at the mall later that day.


Here is what our little Leperchauns looked like.....





I had a great time visiting everyone.  One postive thing about having kids who attend a year-around school is the oppurtuniy to travel.  The downside-when we travel, all of the older cousins are at school all day!  We really wished we could have spent more time with Justin, Avennly, Billy, Aubrey, McKenna, and Noah.  We will have to wait until Summer!  ;)




*Kenzie and Ryder ADORE each other!  They were glued at the hip the whole trip.*






I have ONE MORE post about my California trip, and then I will finally be all caught up (just in time for Easter)! 



***This video melts my heart! We LOVE our cousins and miss them everyday***

I hate getting backed up with posts don't you? I still have to do Owen sitting and trying to crawl. It looks like the kids had so much fun in California! It's so nice to just get away sometimes.

I love what you have done to your page Katie!! How did you do the pictures at the top? It's so pretty

Thanks Ashli. Of course I can take NO credit for my adorable header. I had a family friend who is a photographer take our pix while we were in California. We purchased a CD of ALL our pictures on it, and she included ths beautiful blog header! :) I am still trying to shrink it, or ceneter my posts??? Not sure how.

Next time you go to Cali, you should have her take your family photos.

Grayson's little laugh is so adorable. How fun for all the little cousins to be together again.

Your new header is so cute. I love the pink and green. Your whole family looks so cute.

Of course I'll share my Easter ideas with you. I really want to get them organized and make a little Easter book out of them, so everything is together. I'll work on it for you.

Did your family have a nice Easter? I ca't wait to see pictures.

Hey Katie,
If you want to shrink your header, on your layout page go to edit your header and then make sure you click on "shrink to fit." That should adjust the size for you. Good luck. (Or maybe you tried that already and didn't like it?)
