Happy Easter 2011!

Ok, so the first picture was taken in 2008, but I loved the contrast to 2011. The Easter bunny learned this year that you can't hide chocolate behind the window blinds because the sun will melt it, even before 8am! It was the PERFECT weather day! Sunny, warm, nice breeze. We had some friends over for dinner and then played outside. We even had our dessert out on the patio. I could get used to this!

My parents

Only the BEST parents in the world!
They do so much for me. They came to my house for a month, helped to keep my house clean, kids happy, carpooled my kids, painted my house, fixed "little" projects, weeded my garden, mowed my lawn, played games, and just had a great time!
I LOVE them and miss them so much!

The Grand Canyon

My Aunt Janis and Uncle Neal came to visit while my parents were here. Aunt Janis had never seen the Grand Canyon. We ended up taking a day trip there while the kids were in school. It is so amazing, even though I've seen it before, it still brings tears to my eyes. AMAZING!
The coolest thing was covering Aunt Janis' eyes until we walked right up to the railing. Seeing her reaction the first time she stood right over the canyon was an experience I will never forget!

Pictures just don't do it justice. You have to "feel" it.

Tucson, AZ


My parents came to visit!! They wanted to meet up with some friends who live in Tucson, AZ. Aaron remembered "the best steakhouse" he has ever been to was in Tucson! So we decide to meet them there. We pull up and see the BIGGEST dive ever! We sit down to eat and of course I want to order a diet coke. Nope, no such luck! Not Pepsi products either people! Ever heard of RC Cola?! Yup, our choices of soda pop were RC Cola or diet RC or orange! LOL! Then I asked for the menu, nope, no menu either! It is an "oral" menu. No prices go along with that oral menu either. (good thing my Dad paid for it!! ;) ) Of course, what are my kids going to do without chicken fingers and fries?!?! Anyway, it was a great steak! I can't say, like Aaron can that is the "best". But it really was good. I still think food tastes better when washed down with diet Coke!! :)

This is the parking lot of the Lil' Abners!

There once was a time when we had our picture taken and a little child didn't feel the need to give us bunny years! It sure has been fun 16 years!!
