we love...

AUNTIE CHARLOTTE!  charlotte came to visit us during spring break. she spent sooo much time with maisy. i was glad they got to have so much girl time. but i was sad miles didn't really get to spend much time with her because he was in oregon. of course charlotte made sure she had quality time with miles the 2 days they had together. auntie charlotte told miles they could do anything he wanted to, so they spent sunday afternoon at boomers and then came home and cooked together. we love you so much auntie charlotte. can't wait to see you in myrtle beach!

P.S. we'll keep you in our thoughts on friday... good luck!!!

the O.C.

since i was so sick, we decided NOT to make the 14+ hour drive to oregon. instead i slept ALOT and we made a trip to visit auntie jody in orange county. i LOVE visiting jody, one because she is just awesome and two because there is such good shopping. we picked up jody and headed to p.f. chang's and fashion island. i love fashion island, because they have a hannah anderson store. i got maisy a couple of sundresses. we did some more shopping and then decided it was time for YOGURTLAND!!! this place is so yummy, we make a trip here every visit. i had never seen where jody works, so we stopped by the living room salon before dinner, what an awesome place to work.  then we headed out for dinner at el ranchito. they have really good mexican food and it's in a beautiful spot. finally we stopped at our hotel and jody became hair stylist for the evening. she cut charlotte's hair, maisy's hair and gave me a brazilian blowout.  i love my hair now, no more frizzies and it is so much easier to style.

so thanks jody for having us. we all had a "SHOCKINGLY" good time... he he he

easter 2010

thanks to aunt becky, we had a great little easter celebration. she cooked a delicious ham dinner and auntie charlotte made her yummy mac & cheese. aunt becky also put together a little easter egg hunt for maisy in the house since it was raining out when we arrived. maisy LOVED it. she totally "got it!"... she was looking in things, over things and under things. we are going to do another egg hunt when brother returns from oregon, and i think maisy is going to give him a run for his money...

dunlap jog-a-thon 2010

miles was so excited to participate in his 1st jog-a-thon. he did a great job. he jogged most of the time taking a few walking breaks here and there. in the end miles ended up doing 20 laps. he was very proud of himself. miles is so excited that he has collected enough donations to attend a trip to the local pool and a pizza party. but what miles really wants to do is win a chance at throwing a pie at mr. dana(the principal) i'll keep you all updated.

happy easter!

as most of you know, i have been a bit under the weather. this easter is so different than past easters. miles is out of town, and maisy is staying with my sister-in-law. so we didn't have the excited kids finding their easter baskets and our morning egg hunt. but i am ok with it. the kids are having a great time where they are. we are having easter dinner at aunt becky's tonight and maisy will be in her easter dress and do an egg hunt (thanks, becky). i will post pictures later.

p.s. we are going to "easter" when miles comes home from oregon.

just got this text picture from sam sam...
