Happy Easter!

-



We had a great Easter Weekend. Michael had a half day off on Friday and we spent time in our yard with the kids and dogs weeding, and chasing the kids and just being outside.
Saturday morning, Michael spent several hours mowing and weed eating the lawn. It looks beautiful. I spent the time getting ready for our annual easter egg hunt and potluck picnic at the river. Traditionally, this picnic happens on Easter afternoon, but because the weather was supposed to be beautiful on Saturday, and crummy on Easter, we moved it.
It was so much fun! The kids did well on their Easter egg hunt and got tons of candy. Tiffany had brought a ton of Easter toys and the kids went wild. The food was great. Elizabeth and Zach came and brought their family and Kade had some friends come as well. Marchelle came for the whole weekend. It was great.
Sunday morning the Easter bunny brought eggs and toys for the boys' baskets. Then he hid eggs over at MiMi and PaPa's house. We drove over at the crack of dawn to meet Kade there and search the grounds for all the hidden eggs. After that was over we came inside and prepared and wonderful brunch. GiGi and Gramp joined us and we celebrated Easter again with family.
The weather warmed in the afternoon and I was able to take a nice long walk with mom and Marchelle and later, Tiffany and I played a rousing game of hide and seek in my parents big yard with all the boys.
I uploaded pictures to flickr. I hope you enjoy. Love, Amber

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
