getting ready for our trip

This afternoon I decided to try and set up our tent. I got part of the way and then got confused by the directions and had to ask Ricky for help. We finished putting it up with out much trouble and it is so awesome! It is going to be so nice when we go on our trip. There are shelves and closets and cup holders and a power cord outlet, etc, etc.
The kids were having a blast running around and playing in it.

Dominic was over today for a long time. Actually, he's still here, but I think they are coming to get him soon. I scotch guarded the tent so it is still up in our back yard. I wonder what the neighbors think about that. we were having fun though. Ricky also tried out the bike trailer. I tried it a little too and it is really easy to pull.

Here's my little girl that looks like a boy in Chase's hand-me-down again. I guess it's a good thing I didn't have a girl first I would be clothing a boy in dresses and tights:) She is definitely feeling better and was crawling around outside eating dirt and grass(getting those natural vaccines, Christy).
She also thinks she's pretty cool cause she can blow raspberries.
it was a very fun spring day.

It sounds you are getting ready for vacation. I'm sure you will all have fun. Joanna looks so cute. Have any of her teeth pushed through yet? I'm glad they are no longer sick. That is no fun!

Cute earrings. I mean- you're baby is adorable. I think Chase would look cute in pink... haha.
Alex has that same bike! And I think your tent is the same size as my house. If she's feeling better, does that mean you all are finally sleeping?

I'm not sure why she's still not sleeping very well. I'm praying tonight will be better. If not I'm definetly going to the dr tomorrow. I don't know if they could help but something has to be done.

All five of us cram into a tiny little one that holds one queen size mattress when we camp in our backyard :) - Twill be nice though on a long vacation trip! When are you going? have fun!
