Saturday, in the park, feels like the 4th of July

It's been awhile (ok not really) since I've taken some pictures of the three kids together. Mood usually rules how picture taking is going to go (more likely not go at all). It started with no one wanting to take pictures (other than Dexter, he's a big ham), but then I bribed them saying they could take some too. It resulted in tons of pictures (not all I will be posting).

We had a great day Sat., 60+ degrees, spent at the park. Kellan and Zoe were super excited to push Dexter in the swing (his first time), at times too enthusiastic. He loved it and we can't wait for more days outside. Unfortunately on Sunday came the snow, sleet and rain, another day in the house, in our pajamas. The rest of the week should be nice.

Kellan and Zoe both have parent/teacher conferences this week. Wish us luck. Kellan says things that make us think he's struggling, but then can never expand on the topic. He continues to talk about D.C. and the monuments. He went to the Denver state capitol building a couple weeks back on a field trip and has requested we take him to Olympia our next trip to WA.

Looking forward to April 5th. We were very sad to find out the Angels traded some of our favorite players, but I'm happy one of my favorites of current day ended up on the Mariners - Chone Figgins. We have to buy Dexter some Rockies attire, in the mean time Papa Jim and G-Ma Lawna bought him a Vladimir Guerrero shirt for X-mas, which are hard to come by now that he's no longer an Angel.

To bring everyone up to speed on a few nicknames we have for Dexter, just in case we throw one out there and no one knows who we are talking about:

Deezer, Deezers, or Deezers Wheezers (don't make fun these are mine & personal favorites)

Deuce (Jim's latest)

Booger / Boogs

Big D

Last kid quote:

Kellan: "Dad said something unappropriate today."
Mom: "You mean inappropriate."
Kellan: "Not sure, what does inappropriate mean?"
Mom: "It was inappropriate when you licked your chips at lunch and put them back in the bag."
Zoe: "And Kellan, not only was that inappropriate, it was disgusting.
