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....

...and back to being themselves!!

Anna and Allison with their build a bears...complete with their OWN Easter dresses!

Claiming Her Fruit..

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.

The New Van

Life

Seems that so much is going on, and with the old facebook accounts we have neglected our blog. Here is a run down:

· Church is going well, our pastor got a renewal vote this week, if he accepts he's good for another four years.

· The Hollands got a newer van, a 2002 Town and Country! It's nice, lots of cool gadgets inside! It's blue by the way, we've never had a blue car before.

· Looks like Anna's school is closing down which would move her to another school and add about an hour more bus ride....not a good thing. We got the official word tonight at the school board meeting.

· I'm losing another youth sponsor this month, they all seem to move away. It's hard on me.

I know it's not much but it's a step in the right direction. I'll work on being more updated on a regular basis.
