The hemming of the dress.

Mischele did an excellent job on Jessica's hair.

Joseph wanted to wear his suit. He thought he was taking her to prom!

Easter Sunday

Easter pictures are almost impossible to take when your kids are on a jellybean high!!!

That's okay...I was too! :)

Jess, Joseph and Meredith

A brief moment of stillness....

In our house, you sometimes have to go to extremes to get a banana!
They don't last long...must be a bunch of monkey's livin' here!!

We're Goin' to Disney World....

We signed up for Disney's Give A Day-Get A Day program. The Holland Family made fleece blankets for Project Linus. In return we each earned free admission to Disney for a day!!
It was a win/win! Yippee!! I LOVE FREE THINGS!! :)

...so does Joseph!

We all made 2 blankets each...except Joseph...he was too young to participate! We'll just have to break down and BUY his ticket!!

The attachment knob on my beloved Kitchen Aid mixer broke over the weekend.


It still works but...well, you know...it's just not perfect like it was.

One little phone call to the company and my new knob will be here in 7-10 days...free of charge.

Yippee!!! Kitchen Aid you rock! :o)

Spring Break 2010

The kids started spring break yesterday after school. I as well started spring break. I've taken the week off from work to spend some time with the kiddos.

Jaye happened to have a really short day at the office for her so when she got home we started to do some yard work. It was nice being outside in the sun. We picked up sticks, cleaned up some leaves, and I even got the lawn mower out....I had to put the charger on for a bit but it started right up. We got the van cleaned up, swept it out. All and all a great start to well needed spring break and week away from work.
