Driver's Ed
Megan finished driver's ed last week and is all ready to take her driver's test and get her license. I am really excited for her but very nervous at the same time. She can drive all by herself next Friday if she passes her test. Keep your fingers crossed.
Megan's last drive at class.

Happy Easter
We had a really fun Easter around here. We got up to some presents, searched for eggs, and went to brunch. What could be better?
Megan and Olivia did a great job of coloring our Easter eggs on Saturday.
Alex was excited about his Easter basket. He got a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, and candy.
Megan was to cool to admit a bunny had brought her a basket full of stuff but I reassured her that was really what had happened.
Alex broke into his reese's eggs within five minutes.
Alex had his basket all ready to search for those beautiful eggs that Megan had colored. Somehow they were spread out all over our downstairs. :)
Megan was also to cool to use her basket. She had to stash all of her eggs in her sweatshirt.
The bunny did an awesome job of hiding eggs this year!!!!! :)
After our morning full of fun at home we headed over to Tony and Suzy's house for brunch. Alex was really excited to take a picture with me.
Tony and Suzy's mom's talking up a storm in the kitchen.
We had so much good food. I was so stuffed when we finally finished eating. That was after my third trip through of course!!!!!
Megan got an early Birthday present from Tony and Suzy. It is a two hour limo ride for 8 people. She was so excited and has been planning when to use it. I am pretty sure that none of us adults are going to be invited for the ride!!!!!
We had a really fun day and even got to enjoy some sunshine. Hopefully that sticks around for awhile. It was really nice!!!!!!!!!

Arizona!!!!!!
I got to go to Arizona last week for Heidi's Birthday. It was so much fun and they have this huge yellow circle in the sky that puts you in such a good mood. I didn't have to wear 10 layers of clothes everywhere that I went and I only needed my jacket at night. What a crazy thought!!!!!
When I got up on Friday morning Marie and Jacob were already hard at work on the birthday cake.
Jacob did an excellent job at decorating them all by himself. They looked perfect.
The whole family, Lloyd, Marie, Heidi, Jeff and Jacob.

St. Patricks Day
Sometimes I just crack myself up with the dumb things we do around here. Yesterday was St. Patricks Day so we had to go green. We had green milk, green eggs and green butter for breakfast and then I made dinner. My folks used to make corned beef and sauerkraut every year and I always hated it so I decided that after twenty years maybe I would have acquired a taste for it so I went all out. We had corned beef, green potatoes, green french bread, green butter, and green deviled eggs. The corned beef is just as disgusting as I remember and no one else in the house liked it either so we ended up eating green cake with green frosting for our main dish with all of our green side dishes. It was a delicious dinner!!!!!!!
Another choir concert
Congratulations Mike
Mike got a new job!!!! His Boss is retiring and they posted his job so Mike put in for it and after a couple rounds of interviews they called with the good news that he had gotten the job. As soon as they get Mike's replacement hired he will be able to start and that means his weeks of traveling to Spokane are almost over. He is really excited about the new job and being able to work out of an office instead of traveling all week. He has to start in Marysville until he gets on his own and then he can move his office to Kent which will be nice. His new official title is Fleet Manager. Yeah!!!
Everyone is excited for him to get started and see how he likes it. It will be really weird to have him home during the week. I guess we will have to start eating a real dinner. I don't think he would like the chicken nuggets and french fries that the kids and I eat all week.
Congratulations Mike!!!!!!
Vegas, through Megan's eye's!!!!!
