The Broom Family: From the month of April....

Let me start by saying, if you see Cason out and around town wearing a helmet, don't be surprised. If you saw my previous post about his finger and you thought he might have slowed down a bit....well, that's not the case. Yesterday, in a matter of five minutes, Becky and I watched Cason injure himself not once, but twice! He now has no fingernail, a busted fat lip, and a goose egg on the back of his head. I'm worried about the upcoming years.....worried......

My sweet friend Nikki invited my kids to be in the Nordstrom's fashion show a couple of weeks ago. We didn't know what to expect, especially behavior from my kids, but we had lots of fun!

Here is Cassidee with Nikki's daughter Alix.

Not only did my kids get cute, cute clothes to wear, but there was also a hair/makeup person! Cassidee was in heaven getting all dolled up. Jeremy was less than thrilled that a man was doing her makeup!

And these are my kids on the runway. Yup, holding my hand and making me walk down. They froze when they came out and saw all of the people. Cason was wailing and Cass was (from what I can guess) embarrassed. Luckily that was a very short runway. But aren't they cute?

Happy camper once he got a balloon!

The Easter bunny was there. Prime photo opp so that I don't have to stand in line at the mall somewhere! Once again, Cason was wailing!

We bought zoo passes this year for the first time. I know I may be taking the kids a few times by myself and I was really curious how it would go. We tried it out, and I'll say, I'm totally fine with it. My kids were so great! Cass asked for souvenirs, but after one "no" she never asked again. Cason rode in the stroller when he was told to. Both were just great! I'm now thrilled that Jeremy got the passes for us and we can't wait to go back and take daddy!

This pic makes Cason look like a big boy standing on the fence with sister!

Another big boy shot of him wearing his baseball hat!

My crazy girl and her love of snakes. YUCK!

She wanted her pic in front of every snake and I finally had to "fake" taking pictures of her!

I told Cason to sit by Dee Dee and this is what he did!

This is where she asked the man if she could just hold it. Really? Freak child!

It actually cracked me up that the kids were ready to go before I was! Here, at the penguin house, Cass was over looking at the glass and Cason just sat by me and asked for a drink. He was done, but still behaving so well!

Cass had an egg hunt at school.

I love that they came out in bunny ears and bunny tails!

Cutie girl who specifically asked for her "rainbow stripey dress" for easter day at school!

Literally one of the only pictures I took of her at Disney on Ice. I took pics of the show but they never turn out great. She just sat and watched, enjoying her $14 snow cone (!?). She had a complete blast!

At a birthday party....

I think I have some thrill junkies in my kids. When we got on the carousel I was trying to hold onto Cason, just in case. He kept swatting my hand and saying "no no momma." Okay big stuff! I think his mohawk gives him an attitude!

Driving the pink car, of course!

Mr. Hot Rod

Cass and I on the Tilt-A-Whirl......this is obviously before it started, because afterwards she was crying! It started going a little fast even for me!

Why is pea gravel so fun for kids???

On Easter Sunday we went to church with my parents and then out to my sister's house for brunch! There was a huge egg hunt for the kids!

Cason wanted to play more than hunt eggs, so.....

.....Evan and Kelsey ran off with his basket. Thanks to them he had tons of eggs!

We, of course, dyed eggs. Cal and Cass seem to be pros at this now!

Cason had to give it a shot too!

Despite Cason's goofy smile (he takes you literally when you ask him to say Cheese!), I really love this picture! All the cousins with baby Blayze!

My favorite picture of all day!

Cason loves his baby "Baze" and is constantly "checking on her!" He loves looking at her picture at home. I had kinda hoped Kayla and Camron would have a boy so Cason would have a playmate, but I think he is going to have tons of fun with Blayze and may be her biggest protector when they get older!
