Easter weekend

Paul's brother Randy and his family were in town this weekend for Easter. Instead of doing the hunt and dinner on Sunday, because they needed to get home Sunday night, we did it today. It was quite a day, we went to Rich Nelson's Easter Egg Hunt this morning, where the 3 youngest got to hunt for eggs. They had SO much fun. Rich and his fabulous helpers (the Algers) put out a golden egg. If you find it you get a HUGE candy bar. Trevor was so focused on finding the golden egg, that he only got one egg. They were so kind and they check EVERYONE'S bag to make sure they got enough, they saw his and told him to go up to were Rich was and he would give him some candy. They must have big hands because they gave them quite the handful. =) Even Chris who did get some eggs still got a lot of candy. Emily had NO problem quickly gathering eggs. She is a professional. Later we went to have lunch with Paul's family and have another egg/candy hunt. Naturally they had so much fun at Grandma and Grandpa's (who spoil them rotten).

Unfortunatly Brittany got strep yesterday and was unable to do the fun things today, but we did hook her up with all the yummy foods and cookies that Paul's mom made. She also got her share of candy and gifts from them. Gayle's great like that.

Pictures from our busy day are coming soon....

I DID IT !!!

I made it to my next goal of 70 lbs. Yeah me! I was a little anxious this morning when I stepped onto the scales. When I saw that it was not only what I was shooting for, but that I even went over by 1/2 lb. that was super exciting. I got off the scales and went to the front room and shouted excitedly I DID IT!! My kids all turned from the early morning cartoons to ask what it was that I did. I told them that I made it to this goal. They all said "oh that's great" in a nice tone, and immediatly there eyes were reglued to the T.V. I had to laugh, they crack me up.

Our little ham

Chris was in the play Sleeping Beauty at school and we went as a family tonite and Grandma Sheetz came with. We had a lot of fun. Chris was very good and was such a ham. I took pics and actually am getting them posted right away. I am so proud of myself. =) We went out for ice cream afterwards. The play was great. They did a really good job putting it together.
