Spring break and broken toe BLUES!

It takes quite a lot to get me down but this week has succeeded in doing just that! Last week we traveled to Colorado to visit my parents. While the drive is REALLY long we had such a wonderful time and didn't want to come home. The kids love their grandma and grandpa and Auntie Brandie! We did a lot of fun things despite the weather being crummy. I realized that I didn't pull out my camera much while we were there so I don't have very many pictures to show for the trip but here's a few. Then upon returning home I broke my toe in a soccer game! I've been hobbling around all week, not able to exercise or even wear normal shoes. Anyone who knows me knows that I NEED to exercise for lots of reasons but mainly my sanity!! And now that we are home the weather is YUCKY, I MISS MY MOM AND DAD, MY TOE HURTS, LIFE FEELS STALE, AND I'M JUST GRUMPY ALL AROUND!

I'm ready for some sun and summer fun, anyone else??



This pic doesn't really show the array of colors that my toe turned and the swelling had gone down some but it gives you a little idea of how pretty it's been! :)

Easter 2008

Well it's a little late but I'm finally posting some pictures from Easter this year. We had a wonderful Easter together. The Easter Bunny came on Sat. and we opened baskets, decorated and hunted for eggs, and planted spring flowers. Then on Sunday we read about the Easter story and had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Sligh, Grt. Grandma and Grandpa O'Dore, Uncle Derek and Stephanie. It's always great to be with family. We snapped a few pictures of our family in our new Easter outfits. Trying to get 5 people to smile and look good all at once is a little challenging but I think we did pretty good. Thanks to a friend for taking this picture!


Thank you Grandma for the Easter gifts!



The kids had fun with there baskets. Shane wanted to make sure no one was missing anything so he went through every piece of grass himself!!!



Shane decided he better clean up his mess so he walked around and picked up the Easter grass with his feet! :) What a big helper.
