More March Snow...

Easter 2008

For Easter this year we went to service at church and then to Brunch at the Maplewood Golf Course in Renton. Since it was pooring down rain, we came home and had an indoor easter egg hunt. The day before Easter I took the boys to a couple local egg hunts. The boys saw the easter bunny, got their faces painted, played carnival games, got LOTS of candy, and we stood in line for 35 minutes for balloons from the balloon man- only to have Landon's pop on the way to the car. He was grinning from ear to ear for the 2 minutes he had it, and then there were lots of tears. Next year I'm going to have to tell the Easter bunny to ease up a bit on the candy flow. The boys have turned into little candy monsters asking me for some no less than 10 times a day.

Keepin' busy

OK, so I'm finally updating this thing. It's been awhile and we sure have been busy. Since my last post we have been to Louisiana and Mississippi for 2 weeks. We had a great time. I also started watching a 4 month old baby girl during the week for some extra income. Her name is Chelsea and she is a really good baby. In February, Landon turned 3. We are still working on potty training. I can't decide if he just doesn't really care or if I'm just not trying hard enough. Maybe a little of both. So that brings us to March. Crazy March. As of tomorrow, Aaron and I will have been married for 10 years. It's been a wild ride. The best 10 years of my life. Over the past ten years we've moved 6 times, owned 4 houses, at least 9 different cars, had 2 kids, and I lost count of how many jobs Aaron's had. But he's finally settled down at the County. He will be transferring next month from the Star Lake pit to the Renton division. This will bring more opportunity for overtime and more importantly a better avenue for networking and crosstraining and therefore moving up the ladder. Later this month, Aaron turns 33 on the 11th, Levi turns 5 on the 15th, and our niece Lacey turns 7 and nephew Carter turns 9. Lacey had been sick with the chicken pox last week, so we are waiting to see if the boys will get it. Landon has shown some signs, but we are just waiting it out at this point... just adding to the madness of March... The video below was taken in New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz music. While enjoying some beignets, the boys were diggin' the music. Pictures at top: 1)At the Louisiana Purchase Zoo, 2)Oak Alley, an antebellum plantation we toured, 3) In front of the Mississippi River
