I would be an ungrateful thug if I didn't mention how wonderful Easter was this year. Scott's aunt and uncle host the whole gang every year at their home. We have a delicious spread of food and this year a sampling of amazing mini desserts. I wish I had thought to take pictures but I didn't even bring the camera. Their family also puts on an amazing color-coded easter egg hunt for the kids. Each kid has a specific color of bag and corresponding eggs to gather. My kids were spoiled once again. It was Landon's first year and he really got into it. He wanted to open each egg individually, not understanding how many, many eggs awaited him. We also had a pvc-pipe marshmallow shooting war. That was a blast. Unfortunately cousin Katy was really ill and had to head to the ER. The party just wasn't the same after that. Thank you Marlene and your family for all the hard work you put in year after year to spoil us all. You are definitely off the hook for Thanksgiving and Chri...

Super short just in time for the dependable heat! Garage sale day - so grateful for Spring and Jeremy's help! So much to update! We did our first (and last according to Scott) garage sale. Our neighborhood does one every six months so we decided to take advantage and dejunk this place. We got rid of a lot and donated a ton of things. Although now I've noticed I have enough for another garage sale and no desire to do it. We got some bunk beds off craigslist for Myles and Bailey; I painted their room and now they are sharing. We moved the office to Myles' old room and now our "office" has become a preschool! I have been feeling for a few months that I should start a preschool. I have been terrified of failure, but I'm not letting that hold me back any longer. My friend and I are starting it up in August and I am so excited. It will be a lot of fun and I will be using my Spanish, too. I think this time with Landon will be great, too. My cousin, Jeremy, stayed wit...

This is our 4th (and final) year meeting my grandparents there and staying in their timeshare with them. Th The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed the different parks and family activities there. I have a good friend from high school and another good friend from my mission there so we had a great time visiting with them and their families. One of the highlights of the trip was stumbling upon a Ghirardelli's ice cream shop after a disastrous trip on the strip. Delicious! My birthday was a lot of fun. I've been able to enjoy it one on one with different friends. I also have a diagnosis for my f...
