Happy Easter!!! We had a great day today! We woke up at 8 and had a nice breakfast that Brian made...it was german pancakes...Yummy! Brian had a wild idea to buy his stepmom, Janet, a puppy...so last night at 9:45 we trekked out to Herriman to pick up a maltipoo. He is such a cute little guy....anyway...we went to deliver her Easter Basket this morning. She was so excited! Then we went home and got ready for church....We were all ready and looking great and sent the kids out so we could take their pictures. So one of the kids, any guesses who it was...decided to turn over the rug on the sidewalk and look for bugs....UGHHHHH, in his nice easter outfit!! Did I mention that it was Jax...the 4 year old clone of his father who gets into everything!!!! So needless to say we were late to church not that we would have been on time anyway but it was just one more reason we were late! After church we went to Grandma Mimi's to have dinner. We had a Great Easter!

Well, to add to the craziness of planning a funeral and going to the funeral the kids had their school play...and as they say "the show must go on!" Brianne and Jarron performed the day we laid grandpa pop to rest and they did an amazing job...I know Pop would have been proud! The play was Beauty and the Beast. They performed 3 nights in a row and it was an amazing show for an elementary school...we love Rosecrest and the great job the staff and parent volunteers do to make our school great! The opening night we voted on the new PTA board which includes me as co PTA president elect which means I will be PTA pres in 2010...hooray for me! I am excited, I think it will be great fun!

After a sad and crazy week we had with the death of grandpa pop and his funeral we started a new week with Baby J's First Birthday!! It is a tradition in ouf family starting with my mom's first birthday, to have the birthday boy/girl get their own cake...chocolate of course! I have pictures of me with my own cake and each of our kids have had their own as well.

J had a great time diggin' into his cake...he had frosting head to toe and then he started "sharing" with everyone! Good Times!!!
