Trip to Washington D.C.

The first week of April Lance and I left the kids with friends and went to Washington D.C. for 5 days. It was so much fun. I had never been there so I was a true tourist. We have some friends there so we visited with them saw the sights and relaxed. I so recommend to any mom with small kids or even kids in general to take a few day by yourself and recharge it has helped me so much.

So Big!

Lately Cohen has had some great sayings. The other day we were driving home from the grocery store and we decided to play a game we like to call "Who Loves _____" We fill in the blank with a family members name and those who love that person says ME! and raises their hand. We tweak it a little sometimes and say "How much do you love ____?" After we ask Cohen he says "So Big" Well on this particular occasion Cohen was a little upset with Kaelyn for what ever reason so when is was Kaelyn's turn we said: "Cohen how much do you love Kaelyn?" and Cohen replied with out mission a beat "a little bit" pressing his thumb and index finger together. I tried not to laugh. I explained to him even though Kaelyn may make us mad we still love her. He said "Oh sorry Kaelyn" 3 years old say the darndest things.

Riase Your Hand

I was reading the Easter story to Cohen and Kaelyn. They were listening so intently and Kaelyn decided she had a comment. She said "Mom when you want to talk or say something you need to raise your hand" She raised her had and I called on her. I don't remember what she said (does that make me a bad mom) but I answered her and went on with the story. I got a few more sentences in when Cohen raised his hand, I called on him and he plainly replied and I quote "I like to drink milk." I smiled and said I am so glad you like to drink milk. I love the randomness of my kids. No matter the mode or the setting they always seem to say or do something to make me laugh. I love all three of them so much.

Midnight at The Oasis

Every year at this time The city of Yuma does an old car show and they do a parade around town. So Lance and I decided to take the kids to it. There were over 100 cars of different makes and models. The parade started at 4:30pm so we packed all kinds of snacks for the kids in case they got hungry. It was great even a few of the cars threw candy. The Kids got a kick out of that. One of the guys Lance works with entered his car (it is the blue on). It was cool to see him drive his car by us.. The parade ended around 6pm. The next morning we went to where the cars were all on display. The admission was $3.00 and the kids were free if they were under 7 year old. As we were walking in we were stopped by a couple that had extra tickets so we got in free. The kids had a blast and so did mom and dad.

Family Pictures

Over Chirstmas when all the Kerestes Families were togather we had Pictures taken. I Just got copies of them and thought I would share them with all of you. Lance's Borther Michael is married to Stephanie and they have 4 kids Kalee 10, Kyle 7, Kody 3and Kamdon 1. Lance's sisiter Regan (in Purple)is not married and then there is Lance and I we have 3 kids. Kaelyn 4, Cohen 2 and Jordan 8 months.

Bowling

For FHE this week we went Bowling per Cohens request. We all had a blast. I won with a 90 (not the best score but I am not the best bowler.) Here are some pictures from the event.
