Derek and Dom


Celtic Thunder




My mom discovered this group on t.v a few weeks back. They are fabulous. Derek and I got the DVD this week and we have been listening to it non-stop. These 5 Irish guys have absolutely amazing voices and their songs are so touching. My favorite song is called "The Island" sung by Keith Harkin. Check them out I know you will love them. I have their songs right now playing on my blog.

Easter!!

Here are pictures of our easter egg hunt at the Downey's. The kids always have so much fun at Grandma and Grandpa Downeys. My favorite was the bunny teeth that Steve and Michele wore as they were handing out the easter presents for the kids.



Here was our fun easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Chalmers. The kids got so much candy this year. I think they have been hyper all weekend long.


Decorating easter eggs with the girls. They love doing this kind of stuff with Mommy.

The dreaded M&M jar!!

I had this adorable idea for an easter craft around the house. I filled this jar with these cute easter peanut M&M's and tied ribbon on the top and I thought it turned out adorable. But little did I know I have no self-control. I have put on 5 pounds from this M&M jar. And also the kids want to eat them all day. So I have to say that I struck out big time with this......Note to self.....anything that you bring in the house you will eat!!!!!!

The dudes!!

One of the boys favorite places to play in inside the armoir. It is so adorable the just lay down and talk to each other. I can't even take how much fun these little boys are they have me smiling all day long. I love little boys!!

Wants to be just like Daddy!!

Kali come upstairs the other day and says mom look I am just like Daddy. She had made this sling out of toilet paper. I think it is so adorable the bond Kali and Derek have.

Please help........

I need some help from the mommies. So I have decided to change Pediatricians. I still haven't found one that I like so I thought I would get some input from the moms out there. Is there a Pediatrician that you would recommend and Why???

Dereks Shoulder Surgery

Last Monday night while Derek was training his shoulder dislocated again :( So he had to go into the emergency room a second time and have his shoulder put back in. After this happened the first time Derek was doing a ton of physical therapy and really trying to strengthen his should to hopefully avoid surgery. Since it happend a second time we knew that we had no choice that his shoulder needed to be operated on. So he had surgery today. They rapaired his Labrum which was completely torn and tighened the ligaments around the shoulder. So all in all the surgery went great, but he will be in a sling for 6 weeks and then slowly doing physical therapy and strengthening his shoulder. He is pretty bummed to be in for another surgery but he is excited to have it fixed so it wont dislocate again. Poor guy!!!!!!!!!
