Easter 2009

Making a mess with the eggs

This year we had another quiet Easter Sunday at home. We went to church, dyed eggs, and had an Easter egg hunt in the back yard. It was low key and a nice way to spend a Sunday!

Top 10 Reasons I Love Mark

10. He's the handiest man I know. He can fix anything. He can build anything. And we have garage full of tools to prove it.

9. He works hard at everything he does. He puts in an amazing amount of hours at work and then comes home and helps with the dishes, gives the boys a bath, and sings to them in bed. There's no "unwinding" time in his schedule, and he never complains about it.

8. He once got out of bed to drive 30 mins to change my flat tire.

7. I can still see a glimpse of the crazy, funny, teenage boy I had a crush on in high school.

6. He's always setting goals, and pushes me to do the same. There is nothing stagnant about life with him.

5. After 8 years, I still get excited to go on dates with him!

4. He stands up for his beliefs no matter what.

3. He lets the kids work along side him, even if it takes twice as long to complete a task.

2. He is a hero to my boys.

1. For some reason he wants ME to stand beside him forever, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend MY forever!

Happy Birthday Babe! I love you!!!

Fresno's Hidden Treasure

"Hiking" to the river
Playing in the water and getting muddy

It started off ok......


But it ended in a MESS


Right here in Fresno there is a river with a small walking path and picnic tables that many people don't know about. The boys love to go and take the dogs for a swim. When the weather is nice (like right now) the boys get in the river as well, and everyone gets nice and dirty. I think it's a great place to spend an afternoon with the family, and I am happy to stand on the side and take pictures! It was pretty hot Saturday, so we got some ice cream after, and it's a good thing Kevin wasn't sitting INSIDE the truck when dad let him loose with a Wendy's Frosty!
