Guitar Hero, Coloring Easter Eggs, Playing with the dog, and hunting for Easter Eggs, does it get much better than that????

TAYLOR & JUSTIN

Taylor and Justin babysat while Craig, Laura, Mark & I went on a date Saturday night. We thought it was pretty funny that they were sitting on the couch and texting each other instead of talking face to face.

EASTER MORNING

We flew into San Diego and went to our good friends' the PORTERS. We spent Easter at their house. We had a great time!! Craig and Laura planned a wonderful dinner and a fantastic Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. It was sooo nice seeing them again. Mark grew up with Craig and we have really enjoyed their friendship over the years. We could not have asked for a more perfect EASTER and start to our family vacation.

SPRING BREAK VACATION!!!

Our family was really excited for Spring Break this year!!! We had planned for a long time to go to Disneyland and a short Cruise. So we packed up and headed to the San Jose airport......

Brock's Easter Egg Hunt

Brock was soooo excited for the Easter Egg Hunt that his Kindergarten Class had. He made cute Easter Bunny Ears and they all went outside for the BIG HUNT!!

OUR GARDEN

Our garden is finally planted! Yeah!! There was a little bit of moaning and groaning, but in the end we are happy to finally have it done. Mark built planter boxes and the kids helped pick the plants. The whole family was involved and as soon as we figured out how to keep the dog out, we were good to go. We planted the garden, in April and are now enjoying peas, lettuce, a few tomatoes and peppers.

The last weekend in March, 2009 was a very busy one for our family.  We finally moved our gym in Gilroy out of Wheeler Auditorium into our new facility.  It was a HUGE undertaking since we had to move everything out starting late Thursday night (8:00 pm) and have everything set back up and ready to go Monday Morning by 9:00 am.  

I was amazed at how much help we had from parents, coaches, and the cheer group that will be running their program in our new gym.  It was one of the most physically challenging jobs Mark and I have ever done.  I am soooo glad it is finally finished.  Our kids were real troopers.  Of course, they were sick all weekend.  That is usually how it is, when it rains it pours.  Isen't that what life is about?  Learning how to balance and cope? I am beginning to think so.
