It's Wednesday!

Which means it's Watch Grant Wednesday!
I get to watch this little man each Wednesday. 
he's so cute. 
He's got the best blue eyes...

 And don't ya love the lips?! It's like having a "baby-day"! My kids love him, and they are so disappointed when he's got to go home. 
See you next week Baby Grant!

The Rash, continued.



Do you remember THIS POST?
Well, we figured it out!
The rash, It's not from the binkie!
The rash was from Cheese. Or, Dairy to be specific.

How did we find this out you ask?! Well, over conference weekend Grandma Cia gave Corinne her first ever Yogurt. Oh, yum. She loved it. Ate it all up!

Then that evening, the rash got worse. I was so frustrated because she had hardly had her binkie that day! The next morning it was even WORSE. Like layers of rash on top of rash. Terrible! Then it was like a light bulb moment. DING. Dairy. My kids are all un-able to eat dairy. So why would Corinne be able to?! I read up on stuff and figured that the "rash" was like hives! Poor Corinne had the classic child-allergy symptoms, she had constricted her diet to eat the thing she shouldn't have. She would only eat grilled cheese, quesadillas, and so we fed her that, figuring it was better than nothing, and that was her core diet. It's common on children with allergies, Kallin did it before we figured him out and got him on the GFCF. He would only eat chicken nuggets (flour), PB&J (bread=flour), oatmeal (gluten), and such...

So now my angel's face is clear. Unless she sneaks something....
I guess the blessing is that we are already all Milk-Free so there's really no adjustment!

In this photo she was eating Parsnip Puree. She loves it.
And did I mention, now that we figured out her Dairy-Issue, she will eat much more variety! Always good!




(sorry for the poor quality of the photo- cell phone, at night, doesn't really do it justice.)

Happy Easter!

did I mention The EASTER BUNNY came?!
He put easter eggs in the kid's baskets! Kenny & I bought them each a toy & some fun books.
Grandma Vonna & Grandpa Sean got the kids some adorable swim-suits. (I had hoped to get photos of them in the suits but when we wore them to auntie Tara's it was too chilly to swim, so the suits you see on the kids (under the cover-ups) are from G. & G.)


 TRON from mom & dad
Tron talks, and his face moves. 
Kallin had each phrase Tron says memorized in an hour.

 Mermaid from mom & dad
Oh, and she swims. Totally rocking toy.

 *singing* Cinderella from mom & dad
 I must mention quickly that Corinne has carried Cinderella around all day. 
And she is singing, every time Cinderella does. 
It's super adorable. 

 Before Church

Annual Auntie Tara's Easter Hunt

Every year Aunt Tara does food & an egg hunt. 
Colette says it's her favorite thing about Easter. 
Except for the part where we talk about Jesus' Resurrection. 
The kids loved it. LOVED IT. 
And we have more candy than we know what to do with...
Corinne Hunting...

Corinne HAD to have the candy while she hunted eggs. She's my sugar-holic! Of course wanting to eat every egg she got her hands on really slowed her down on her hunting... she got a few eggs, but that's all she needed! 

Kallin Searching...
This lil' dude was so good at seeking out the eggs! He had an overflowing basket!!! His basket was so full he was literaly dropping eggs out as he walked! He's pro level egg hunter. 
Oh, and he was moving so quickly I couldn't snatch pictures of him!! He's a fast one!! 

Colette Finding...

 This gal is impressive! I followed her for like 1/2 a minute and she quickly scoured the entire yard! She was running around, finding everything that could be found! She is really getting amazing at hunting. Next year we might need to make it harder for her! She's so super awesome at finding eggs!

 Bonus Photos... 
 Priceless... Kenny's FOUND-IT face!
 A bunch of the kids looking on the side yard for anything that might have been missed!
My adorable nephew Tyler (Kelli's son, Colette's age) with his big-time findings!

Joe's Crab Shack DANCE

Before the family (the Crosby Fam) left for Hawaii we all got together (well, the NV kids) and we went to Joe's Crab Shack for lunner (lunch-dinner combo).
It was so fun, the kids had a blast, and the girls had so much fun DANCING. 
Take a peek!
