Easter fun!

We had a fun and low key Easter this year. We spent the morning at home with the kids downing chocolates and candies for breakfast...I did at least give them some milk. After church we went over to my parents for Easter dinner. The twins had a blast drinking chocolate milk from crystal goblets. (I'm just relieved they didn't break them!) They were treated to another egg hunt at Mimi and Papa's before we left. It was a fun day.

You have to see this!

The best 7 minutes of television I have ever seen!

I laughed, I cried. The best TV I've seen. Unbelievable. You can find out more about this lady on CNN.com.

Trip to California

All I had to do was mention a girls trip to Kara (my sister-in-law) and the next day she called me back with my flight confirmation number. We went to California to visit Eve (my other sister-in-law) in Los Angeles. It was so much fun! We ate and shopped and ate and shopped! Eve works on the Paramount lot and took us around and got us into a taping of "The Doctor's"....very cool. Loved hanging out with both of them. They are great girls.

Courtney's wedding!

My cousin, Courtney, got married this past weekend in California. She was beautiful and the wedding was great. It was one of the most fun receptions I've ever been too. They had live band karaoke....need I say more. My cousin and her friends know how to party. The band found out at the end of the night that everyone was sober. They couldn't believe it and thought it quite frightening that everyone could be that crazy without being inebriated!

St. Patrick's Day!

Those sneaky leprechauns made their way to our house once again this year! They threw pillows, knocked over kitchen chairs and tossed gold chocolate coins all over. The kids loved it. I'll be sad when the day comes that they won't "believe" in all the fun holiday folklore. It definitely is a great part of the fun of raising kids.
Niles decided that we needed to add to our St. Patty's tradition and made green eggs and ham for breakfast. Lovey and Soren thought it was a bit sketchy at first, but ended up loving it.

Disney On Ice

Yesterday, I took the twins to see Disney On Ice. It was a great show and would have won me "mother of the year" had I given into purchasing snow cones for $10 a pop. Seriously, $10 for flavored ice!! I guess Mickey hasn't gotten the memo about our recession. It was still a fun show. The twins were mesmerized the entire time.

Skiing at Sol Vista

While we were up at the cabin I took Soren skiing. Lovey and Niles sledded near the lodge...she needs a little more convincing before she will let us attach "slick planks" to her feet again. Skiing with Soren was one of the best ski days I've ever had. Much better than any fresh powder day. He loved skiing and I enjoyed every minute with him.
