There she was just walking down the street.....

Kaitlyn and Colin haven't stopped singing since they came home from school on Tuesday. They are learning songs for their Mothers Day Tea in a few weeks. They have been singing and doing the movements for the songs like "I'm a Little Teapot". Its too cute! They must have learned this song on Tuesday because they never have heard it before and now they are singing it non stop. Its too funny! Here are some cute videos of them trying to sing after they got out of the shower:)

Take 1: Colin was camera shy so Kaitlyn sang alone.

Take 2: Colin decides to join in.

Take 3!

Take 4: They were getting goofy and starting to yell instead of sing the song:)

13 Healthy Years Later.....

My family is so thankful for our health!! Tonight we celebrated "Kelby" (the kidney name we gave to Kelly's kidney that she donated to Billy on April 7th 1997) and 13 HEALTHY years! Happy Anniversary Kelby! Thanks Kel for making the courageous decision to donate your kidney during your senior year of high school!! It was a perfect match and has given Billy 13 wonderful years!!

Everyone was there except for Randy who was at work...missed ya Randy!! It was 80 degrees here today so we had a BBQ and were even able to sit outside and eat! We had such a great time! Here is Cam holding Zachary.

Zachary hanging out with Uncle Cam in the screened in porch.

Papa was the grill master:)

Having fun in grandma's car ball pit....but there is no room for balls with 3 kids in it:)

Kel & Quintin doing their muscle pose:) Too funny!!

My little love bug!!

2 videos of Zachary....we weren't sure who this kid was tonight!!! We assumed the fresh air was good for him...he was so content for a little while before getting fussy again.

Cam playing with Zachary:)

We all ate outside and enjoyed the awesome weather!!!

Thanks Mom, Dad and Billy for my beautiful Brighton cuff! I LOVE it!! Kel and I are matching with our new cuffs that symbolize 13 years of health.

Adult Night Out

Last night was the dinner/dance fundraiser for the kids school. It was nice to have an adult night out with Kristina & Brandon! Thanks mom and dad for babysitting! Yes, Kristina and I both had our jean jackets on...its like we have ESP:) The fundraiser was very casual and an 80's theme but we decided not to dress up for it.

Here's an update on our class art project. Kristina and I kept checking the auction table all night to see if people were bidding on our project and they were. We would sneak up and listen to what people were saying about it...they loved it! This was so cute and flattering.....one of the kids grandma in K & C's class liked it so much she stood guard and was going to outbid anyone so she could win it. She absolutely loved it!! So it was a success!!

Also, the guys are thrilled that they won a 4-some golf outing at Kemper Lakes Private Golf Course...cost us $425 in the silent auction which we are splitting!! Yikes! I dont think the 4 of us thought we would win but we ended up winning.....guess this will be the guys one and only golf outing of the summer:)

Volunteer Project

Kristina and I volunteered at the kids school to do 2 projects for their big fundraiser dinner/dance thats tonight. We have been working for about 2 months on the 2 projects. It felt great to be able to help out!! We had to make an art project using the kids in some way. So we went to school and took pics of the kids spelling out Little Angels(their preschool name) using their bodies. Their school, Montini, is preschool- 8th grade. Tonight is the big dinner/dance and auction. Hopefully this project will help to bring in some money for the school. We also put together a class basket with a netbook and lots of accessories in it. Each class provides an art project and class basket for the auction. We hope tonight is a huge success for the school!!

Willis Easter

We spent Easter weekend with Grandma and Papa Willis this year! The kids are always excited to go back and visit! Here is Kaitlyn with Grandma doing their traditional morning baking! Its so cute how they love to bake together!!!

Kaitlyn and Grandma love to color together too!

Cousins Reid & Jay! Ever since Colin saw Reid and Jays plaid pj pants he asked me to buy him some. He feels "cool" like his cousins when he wears his plaid pj pants:)

Opening our Easter gifts from Auntie Jill and Uncle Craig!

Thanks Auntie Jill for thinking of us!!

While we were there we went to Burlington, Iowa(Kaitlyn and Colin think its SO neat that we went to another state just to see a movie). Little do they know its only 30 minutes away:) We saw the Dragon movie in 3D with the entire Willis clan! It was the first time the 4 of us have ever seen a movie in 3D...pretty cool!!

The cousins playing together! Kaitlyn fits right in with the boys:)

Easter morning pics!

Auntie Jill, Uncle Craig, Reid and Jay

We were missing the kids 2 other cousins Ike and Everett for this pic.

Here are Kaitlyn and Colin with their future Auntie Rachel. Uncle Kc and Rachel are getting married on November 13th in Kansas. They asked Kaitlyn to be their flower girl and Colin to be their ring bearer. They are SO excited to "get fancy" they said!! :)

The Easter Bunny Came!!

We celebrated Easter morning at our house on Good Friday since we were going to be out of town for Easter weekend. I trully belive that it is important for our kids to know the true meaning of Easter!! But I also feel that Kaitlyn and Colin are 4 years old and they should be able to enjoy the fun/magic of it too. You can never get this time back with them believing and its fun. Before you know it they will be too old:) That being said we also stress the importance of them knowing the true meaning too!! Here they are setting out their carrots and baskets the night before.

Running to see if the bunny came....can you see the clock behind them...it was 6:35am...yikes!! Look at the excitement in their eyes! Its so much fun for Cam and I to see!

Guess he came:) Now dont let this pic fool you....you can get an AMAZING amount of stuff for free or SUPER cheap with coupons as I learned from a coupon seminar!!! You would be shocked at the small amount of $ I spent!!

Colin was excited about his Batman and stretchy man!!!

Kaitlyn loves to draw with pip squeek markers so she was excited about her marker tower!!
It was a fun morning spent as a family!!!

We went to Auntie Kelly & Uncle Randy's house to hang out one night. We did Easter baskets too. The kids were excited to open their baskets!

Thanks for the Leapster games!!

Quintin loved his Zhu Zhu Pet from us.....Kel loved it too until Q stuck it into her hair and she practically had to shave her head to get her hair untangled from the wheels:) Oops!

Zachary slept on grandmas shoulder:) Thanks for a fun night!!!

Willis/Harvey Easter

About 2 weeks ago we got together with the Harvey family to enjoy an Easter fun filled day. We went to the mall to see the bunny:)

They happened to have an event for the movie Alvin and the Chipmunk's and the kids were so excited to get to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore!!!

How cute are these chipmunks!!!!

Best Buds!!!

We came home after a stop at the grocery store...which was a sight in itself....4 adults, 4 loud kids and 4 shopping carts...and attempting to shop for our groceries for dinner. The kids played and the 4 adults all teamed up to cook a yummy dinner.....notice Brandon, Kristina and Cam ignoring me when I said to smile for the camera:)

The kids were excited for a quick egg hunt in the basement!!

Ready, Set, GO!!!!!!!!

Uncle Brandon trying to calm the kids down by reading them a book:)

Having a dance party!!!

Dying Eggs!!

Notice the basketball game on the tv in the background....the moms did eggs and the dads did a great job watching the basketball games:) But hey, they did help cook dinner so we were fine with them relaxing!

Opening Easter baskets!

Kaitlyn loves her My Little Pony stuff!!

Colin loves his Bakugan toys! Thanks Auntie Kristina, Uncle Brandon, Madi and Makenna for a fun day and all of the Easter goodies!!
