Easter Fun

We had a great Easter...


Three Egg Hunts!
When this little girl found an egg she had to open each egg and take a bite of whatever was inside before she could go on to the next one.
The sun is deceiving. The wind was COLD!

Tiger and my SIL. (Yes, he has a purple bib on, but hey - his big sister isn't using them anymore and what does it matter when you're usualling home all day, right?)


Dying Eggs with Grandma!

New Church Clothes!
(and bunnies)
Bugs

Bubba (Yes - this is the nick name that has stuck. Tiger just didn't seem right.)

Sesame Street

On Tuesday we went to Discovery Gateway. We all had a blast.



Driving trucks...Daddy, scared for his life. :)



Buying Groceries



Working at the Farm


The special exhibit is about the body, featuring the characters from Sesame Street. It was so cool. Bugs just loved it! Below Bugs was trying to open the door and was mad they wouldn't open. Poor girl.




We were able to go to Elmo's World!



I thought this would be a cute picture, but again, she was upset that it wasn't a real door.

Bugs and her beloved Elmo!



Okay - so this was our favorite part. This little section showed the kids how the digestive system works. As you can see the final display was, well, poo! Look closely. There's actually a log coming down the pipe. It was disgusting, but hilarious! (As you can see Bugs is more interested in the bolts of the operation.)


In any case, we had a blast and recommend it to you.
It's kind of expensive, but worth it every once in a while.

Tiger's New Trick

Our little man rolled over for the first time on Sunday. Here's a clip of his new trick! Good, job, buddy!

Blast from the Past

I came across some pictures from high school. Ah, those were the days. We had a blast, didn't we? I'm thinking about you all and miss you!




Sr. Banquet - Venga Bus anyone?


Dancin' the night away!



Sr. Year

Halloween


Christmas Party


DH's mission farewell (he's the guy bottom right)

7 Random Things

I was tagged by Alycat and thought I'd better do it before I forgot. Here are 7 random things about me.

1. I LOVE cadbury mini eggs - yes Easter candy is already in stores! Dh doesn't enjoy Easter because of a certain experience he and his sister had when younger. Let's just say it had something to do with a rotten Easter egg and a taste test. He's never been the same.
2. I strive to be organized or else it's very hard for me to function. I also really enjoy planning get-togethers.
3. I love to read. I used to read all the time while traveling on the express bus to and from work. I am going to try and participate in a book club again.
4. I love to travel.
5. Years ago my mom and I went skiing at Deer Valley. Well, we ride the lifts in singles because it goes faster. I waited for her at the top and she skied over with two guys she rode the lift with. It was Nicolas Cage and his manager! However, at the time I didn't even know who he was!
6. I have dear friends in Spain that I think about often, but aren't in direct communication with.
7. I have the home re-decorating bug - BAD!

Grandma T

We just received a phone call informing us that DH's Grandma passed away this evening. We are saddened by the news and will miss her, but at the same time what a joyful reunion she must be having! She recently lost her oldest son and has been missing her DH for 15-years. Here are some pictures of our last visit with her.





I love this one! How cute.



Four Generations


We'll miss you, Grandma! Until we meet again...

Fate


I've been thinking about this picture recently. Do you recognize us? This is DH and I back in high school - probably 10 years ago. Holy cow, I'm getting old!

Anyway, I love this picture. At that time I would have never guessed that we would spend our lives and eternity together. You must trust in God - in His plan and good things will come. Fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it - it's the hand of God in our lives. I am eternally grateful for his guidance. DH is the one and only man for me. I love you!
