Happy Easter

This year we celebrated Easter at Cheryl and Tom's house, where they had over 100 eggs for the kids to find and yummy food for us to enjoy!! The kids had fun spending a much need time with their cousins. Thanks Cheryl and Tom for wonderful memories with the family on Easter. Happy Easter!!

Summer Time

On Friday Jen and Summer drove to hangout with us for a few days while Chris is in Vegas. We started our day off in the morning at the park next to Lexi's school where a local realtor was putting on an Easter event for the kids in the neighborhood. They all did an Easter egg hunt, face painting, custom balloons, pictures with the Easter bunny, to just about any activity you can think of for the kids. I think that everyone had a great time and we defiantly wore them out for nap time. It was a great time. Thanks Jen for driving up here to spend some much needed time with each other.

Run Rocklin 2011

On Sunday the whole family packed up and went to the Run Rocklin race. I ran in my first 5k and the kids ran a 1/4 mile for the first time. Chris and the kids waited for me to cross the finish line. I ran the 3.2 mile course in 32 minutes flat which I beat my time in my head of 35 minutes. We will run another race come summer. We are all looking forward to it!!

Weekend Getaway to Tahoe

Okay so it's been a pretty long time since our last post, but the whole family has been on and off sick and we took the plunge and finally put travertine tiles throughout the house except for the bedrooms. So after everyone got healthy and the floors were complete Chris and I decided to take a little trip to Tahoe. We decided to take the long way and go up I80 through Reno so we could stop at the Nugget and have their famous Awful Awful burger. It was one of our top 5 burgers of all time. Delicious!! Here's a few pictures from our trip. Thank you Cheryl for watching the kids so we could take this much needed time away!! We love you!!

Happy Valentine's Day

So finally the kids were healthy enough for use to take Valentine's pictures. It's really hard to

get both kids to cooperate and to be able to get one good picture. We were lucky enough to get both kids smiling and looking at the camera for the group shot, but when it was time for individuals Gavin wanted to nothing to do with it. So needless to say we only were able to get a solo shot of Lexi. Thanks G for making memories.

Well this year Alexis asked if she could make cake pops to pass out to her friends for Valentine's Day. She really does love baking and I think she got that from her Grandma Cheryl, who by the way is an excellent baker!! Lexi and I had so much fun making these together, we even pulled in Gavin and Chris to help. I think the turned our perfect and are oh so yummy too!!
