More Easter Moments

This picture was taken at an Easter party we went to the week before Easter. The boys had a great time. When Caden first saw the Easter Bunny he started crying and running across the lawn, scared silly! All the eggs he had collected were bouncing out of his bucket as he ran. Later he saw the bunny take off his "head" and some how that made it all better. I guess that is all it took for him to realize that the bunny was really a person and not a scary monster. He even sat with him for this picture.

Easter Memories

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter. Ours was soggy but great! It's always fun to watch the kids hunting for eggs...brings back so many memories from my own youth! It's always great to get together with family and friends and celebrate the many things we all have to be thankful for.
I ate WAY to much delicious food that day. It happens every year! Everyone picks such great dishes to share with the group.
The kids all had a good time (I think.) We had about 250 Easter eggs for only 6 kids. Their buckets were overflowing! Eggs were everywhere! Time to start planning next years event....hopefully minus the rain!

I lost my hair!

I decided I needed a change. I went for a short haircut and have bangs again! It's going to take some getting used to, but I always think it is fun to change hairstyles. My motto: "It's just hair. If I don't like it, it will grow back." I never worry about a bad haircut ( OK, once I had a horrible haircut that I worried about) and I just try and let my hairstylist have fun and design a cut just for me! Anyhow, here is my newest haircut.

Good Job Trenton!

Trenton has been working hard with his karate. I love watching him progress and become more fluent with each passing month. Here is a picture of him during his most recent test to advance belt color. He is a blue belt here but after the test he advanced to blue belt with black stripe. This is called a 1/2 step and is how his school handles promotions for his age group. Once they reach age 12-13 they no longer have to promote by 1/2 steps and will be able to promote a full belt color each time. His next test will be in June and it will be for him to promote up to an orange belt. He really enjoys this sport and we are very proud of his progress!
