Easter Art

Dad's art, mom's art and the kid's art...everyone helped with Easter brunch. Yay! Isn't it always all about the food?!

Happy Easter!

One cross, three nails, three days...for me, for you. Such a gift! How can you refuse it?

Sydney's Las Vegas boyfriend...

...what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

April Fool's Day

So far, so good. The kids had a trip to the orthodontist this morning...good news all the way around. They both should have their braces off this summer. Yay! Jordan probably in June before our cruise...a smile without the hardware, better to pick up chicks with! And Sydney before she heads off to school in September. New school, new friends and new killer smile. That's the plan anyways and the doctor didn't say, "April fool's" to either of them. It's still early in the day and this family is full of jokesters...

Making a statement...

I think Sam is making a statement...NO HEALTH FOOD ALLOWED, my body is not a temple. Sam, aka Orange Kitty, is the big kitty on the block. I tried giving him a few Greenies yesterday and after much sniffing and trying to paw the moss off the walkway (in hopes it was a treat) they are still there today. I don't need no stinkin' health food treats that make my breath clean and my teeth strong. Well, he's not the only one who doesn't like 'em. Libby will only eat them when she is pretty desperate...she's either hungry or wants to get on Sydney's good side. Anyway you look at it this bag of treats is gonna last forever. Hint, hint Sydney we like the party in a bag that mom buys.

What I know...

What I know is that it is March 29th. Where has the month disappeared to? What I know is that last week we played in the sun and we came home to Oregon and it is raining. No, make that storming. All the wind and the buckets of rain that came down today. Yikes! What I know is that I took over 800 pictures last week. Of what? My husband wanted pictures of every piece of terrain between Newberg and Phoenix and back. What I know is that things are getting back to normal. Steve off to work, the kids off to school and me left to pick up the trail left by my slugs. What I know is that the cat missed her family. Libby is so snuggly, it's ridiculous. As a result we are all wearing sooooo many cat hairs. What I know is that 4 a.m. comes pretty quickly and I am ready for bed. I hope I watch 24 and it doesn't watch me.

concert night

It appears that tonights concert was a real sleeper. It was long and Sydney was last. That's how it goes. The orchestra is always worth waiting for...sad it's Sydney's senior year. Thanks all the concerts Syd. We have enjoyed every one.
