Happy Easter!!!

Our nephew, Davian, is in town visiting for three weeks. He lives in Washington, and thus, we don't get to see him very often. But since he's here now, we were going to do fun things for Easter. Unfortunately, Daniel was really, really sick on Saturday & wasn't able to go with us to play Easter games. However, Dawson & I still went with Grandma Kathy, Uncle Wavy, and Cousin Davian to a church with many Easter activities. They had an egg hunt, cookie decoration station, hand/face painting, balloon animals, coloring pages, and basket raffles. Dawson was soo proud of himself at the egg hunt and had a blast the whole morning.

Dawson & Davian after the hunt.

"I can decorate a cookie but I can't smile and keep my eyes open at the same time!!"

"Mom, I don't want to take a picture. I'm coloring!"

"Look Mommy, I snuck back to decorate & eat more cookies!!"

Davian has to act cool for the camera.

Dawson needed to relax after all his activities...But he wouldn't let me hold his eggs.

"Back away or I'll get you with my balloon sword!" (It was a dog but it scared Dawson so Davian took it apart.)

Father & son. Man, you can sure tell Davian is a Martinez too!!!

Dawson & his new favorite buddy Davian!

Jaxon & Joelle

I'm a little behind on blog updates as my son & husband have been passing a horrible flu/cold virus back & forth between each other and my house has been crazy! Anyways, a week and a half ago my too-adorable neice & nephew came to town. Unfortunately, they didn't stay long enough to do anything really fun with them (darn weather around here) but I did manage to get some pictures of them to share with you. Dawson didn't feel well then either (yep, he's been sick for a while) so he didn't feel like playing the picture game- (maybe he just knew his hair was a mess that day!!!!)

I tell you, five year olds are just silly!

She's so shy & adorable!

You have no idea how many pictures I went thru to get them both to smile. Silly Jaxon!!!

Dawson won't share his rasins with Jaxon.

All the kids wanted some whipped cream from Meezy!

He looks a little more nervous.

Jaxon is like a pro!

Yeah, he wanted to steal the attention away from Joey! I love them!

Two Friends, Two Kids....

Courtney & Landon were in Salida this weekend so we had to go see them of course. Dawson would be sad if they were in town without getting to see his buddy. This time was the most fun, thus far, getting the boys together. Landon thought that Dawson was pretty cool & Dawson had fun showing off his trucks to Baby Landon.

"Dawson, you're older so you have to tell me what we're supposed to do."

Dawson is all smiles, Landon can't find the camera!!

I think this is where Courtney was using the chicken dance animal to try to get their attention...she had it for sure, not the camera!!

Mommy & son- so precious!

Landon is very excited and you can tell Dawson is trying his hardest not to laugh!

With the big blue eyes, similar hair color & skin coloring, he might be able to pass for my child more than my child actually does!!!

Crazy boys with a crazy girl!!

What a lucky girl I am to be holding two handsome boys!

Colorado Springs

Last weekend (the weekend of the 8th) we went to Colorado Springs. I thought it would be a great chance to get some photos, but the truth is, we were so busy that taking a photo was virtually impossible. However, I did manage to get two photos that showed just how busy, and tired, the weekend made us............

Enough said!!!!!!!!

Dawson & Savannah

So, Dawson has become quite smitten with his friend, Savannah. Last week she bunked her head & Dawson started giving her hugs & kisses, then proceeded to rub her back & leg all lovingly. She's moving in six weeks, and while Dawson & I are both mad about that, I'm very glad they won't be going thru teenage years together if Dawson already acts like that to her...and it's not just him...when he kisses her, she smiles & looks right into his eyes. They are toooooo cute!!!! But getting two two-year-olds to look at the camera & smile at the same time, not any fun!!

"What do you think, Savannah, should we listen to my mommy and take pictures?"

Two smiles, no eyes, and Dawson is smiling at the girl & not the camera! He's a Martinez for sure!

Finally, a smile & a half looking at the camera with all eyes open!!! That's about as close to perfection as we're gonna get, folks!
