Bullies are not cool!

It's not good when your daughter comes home from school with big bandages on both knees. As a kid I remember crashing many of times at school (trying to beat the boys to the door I am sure) so I figured Kimberly probably just crashed too. Her nickname is Grace for a reason. When she told me that a second grader pushed her, I was a little shocked. She said he was following her and her friends and then ran up and pushed her down. When asked what happened next, she said he ran off. Our first encounter at school with bullying... great. Luckily she has a great school and the principal was out on the grounds and helped Kimberly to the school nurse and she patched her up great. I asked Kimberly if she cried a lot and she said when it happened, she did. But she said she was very brave though with the nurse and didn't cry at all. I was proud of her but so sad she had to go thru that. Anyone that knows Kimberly knows she can be a bit of a drama queen. I was so glad to hear she was brave and not miss drama. But little miss drama emerged when she told her daddy what happened. All of a sudden, Kimberly couldn't bend her legs and couldn't walk. It was amazing what a queen she can be! Throughout the night, she would forget her injuries but they always came back when asked to do something. haha.

Pretty nasty huh!
This was daddy asking Kimberly to look sad. She was having a good moment right here!
This is drama queen Kimberly after we joked that we would touch her knees. This is the girl we dealt with most of the night.

We are so sad that we are having to deal with school bullies at this young age. We talked to Kimberly about how wrong that boy was and what she could do next time. In reality I wanted to tell her to beat him up next time but I know that doesn't stop the bullying. I hope everyone (esp. parents) will help stop bullies!

Matthew's first soccer year

Matthew had his first soccer game last night. This was him after we got him dressed in his soccer gear. He was so excited. So excited that he grabbed his baseball mitt and ball and started playing. Wrong sport sweety. haha.
This was after we got there and got his team color shirt. GREEN! Matthew's favorite color. How perfect is this.
The warm up run. This was about the only warmup that Matthew would do. Brian was already on the edge of his seat by this time cause he didn't really want to do any other warm up.
Listening to coach about soccer. Matthew was still in good spirits here. The kids are all 3 and 4 year olds and so Matthew looks small but he isn't too small compared to others. After this talk they got to shoot goals and Matthew loved that part. He was eager to kick the ball in the goal.
Right after the goal shooting, they started the game. Now if you have never seen indoor soccer at this age, they just let the kids kick the ball and try to get it in the goal. There is no goalie and the kids are all over the place. Well Matthew got to start the game by kicking the ball first and then he was shocked that kids started running around. We told him to run after the ball and kick it and he did. The only thing he wasn't planning on was all these kids pushing and tripping and being mean trying to get the ball. After a couple times of trying to get the ball, Matthew decided he had to go potty. Brian took him and they ran back and Matthew got back into the game... for a minute. After more pushing Matthew was back with tears in his eyes and needing to go potty again. I wasn't sure if he needed to or not or if he was just nervous but Brian took him anyway. When they came back, Matthew had tears and didn't want to go back out to play. It was heartbreaking. He kept telling us that he was tired and wanted to go home. Luckily the game was done after that and Matthew got a treat (with the help from Kimberly walking him out to get his treat).
When we got in the car to go home, I asked Matthew if he had fun and he gave a definite NO. Poor thing. We have 4 weeks of this 2 times a week and we are going to go every day. Hopefully by the time soccer is done, Matthew will be back out there to play and enjoy every minute of it. He is a great soccer player and I know he would love it if he keeps trying. What is that saying... make kids try things 10 times to get them to like it. Well hopefully that will work with soccer.
Wish us luck!

Little Grizz Cheerleader


Here is my LIttle Grizz Cheerleader! Kimberly's cousin Stephanie is a cheerleader for Logan High and got Kimberly to do the day camp and be a little grizz. Kimberly had a ball. She got to perform at halftime at the next football game and despite the cold, she had a blast. She now wants to be a cheerleader but is still a little scared of being a "flyer". Her cousin is a flyer (the person on top of stunts) and Kimberly is scared of heights. I told her she could just be a dancer and not a cheerleader (like I was) but she isn't sure.
She sure was cute though.

My Brave Girl!

I have to share this story about Kimberly. She is a sweet princess in our house and she is also a major drama queen. If she gets the tiniest bump or bruise, it is the end of the world to her. Matthew has found he can make her cry and loves it.

Knowing this about Kimberly will make you realize how brave she was yesterday. Yesterday she had to go to the dentist for her first filling. I was worried how she would be since I am a big baby in the dentist chair. We have been speaking very positive about this experience for a long time but I still wasn't sure how she would be. I let her take her favorite stuffed animal Heart for comfort.

That morning she had many questions that were funny. She thought the drill the dentist used was like daddy's big "L" shaped drill. She thought she couldn't eat for days because of the numbness. And many others like it.

Well we got there and they showed her the tools that they would use (all except the big numbing needle). I didn't really know how they numb a child but it was the same way they numb an adult. Kimmy was fine during the shot and she didn't even act scared. I asked her if she was ok and she said yup. They did use a little laughing gas on her at first but since she did so great during the numbing shot, they changed her to oxygen for the rest of the time. She felt fine and was enjoying the numbing feeling of her mouth. During the quick filling (and I mean quick), she didn't even flinch once. I was watching her hands on her stuffed animal and they never once grabbed it in pain. When they were done, they told her how great she did. I was just shocked. She was all smiles when they got done and said it didn't hurt or anything. She never once was scared or cried. I couldn't believe this was my daughter. In fact, I was so proud of her that I started crying and couldn't stop. (hormones or allergies or something... haha)

Kimberly has to have another filling next month and she was fine with that. In fact, she told me how easy it was that I didn't have to come with her. Oh she is so grown up!

First week of 1st grade

I can't believe Kimberly is a 1st grader. She seems so much older now. She was so excited for her first day and I couldn't have been prouder. She wasn't nervous... just excited. She loves school and was super eager to start and learn. I hope this continues with her for 12 + years or more.

Her first day was pretty uneventful. I decided the teachers just use the day to ease the kids back into school. Kimberly said they played at the playground like 4 times and had lunch and just read books. The second day they were on their normal schedule and had to do work. Kimmy didn't mind. She is even ready for homework but that isn't going to come for a week or so. The third day Kimberly was so excited cause she wanted to eat lunch at the cafeteria due to they were having pizza. What a big start for her to get her lunch and what she wanted. She did have to find out how fast she needs to eat... she didn't get much lunch her first day. She will learn to eat faster as she gets older. I remember the faster you eat, the longer time you had to play.

Of course a big part of school starting is getting to wear new school clothes and my little fashionista has enjoyed every minute of new clothes. If she could, she would wear them all in one day and just change every hour. haha. She loves looking cute... too bad when I pick her up, she doesn't always look the way I drop her off. Normal kid things... hair is a little messed up and she might have a little mess on her clothes. Oh well.

1st grade should be fun. She already knows kids in her class and she loves to make new ones. This should be a great year.

Matthew is learning to deal without his sister for an entire day. I think he still asks me twice a day when is it time to get Kimberly. But he is enjoying the peace and quiet and getting to play toys without sharing. We are enjoying our time together ... for a few months anyway. When the baby comes, our schedules and lives will change yet again. Hopefully we all will adjust well.

Later!

Nothing like the past

So the past couple of weeks I have been "archiving" old VHS tapes from High School. I have learned a few things by watching these videos:

1) No matter the good, bad, and ugly in High School.. it was still a good time.
2) What was a huge deal back then, doesn't mean much now.
3) Everyone looks back at themselves and laughs at the styles we had back then.
4) I was cute and skinny back then, no matter what I thought.
5) Life was simplier.
6) What an enjoyment for my children to see their mommy back then all young.
7) What an enjoyment for my children to see their grammie and grampie back then all young.
8) Friendships were great back then.
9) I am friends with a lot of those people still and it is great to reminise with them.
10) I am proud where I ended up after all these years.

Now looking back makes me think that it wasn't so many years ago but when I start counting the years, I realize that I am coming up on a big class reunion. 20 years goes by extremely fast.

I hope you all can look back on your high school days and laugh, smile, and reminise about good times.

Weekend of fun

We had a great weekend before school started. Thursday started with a family dinner party with Brian's family. The kids had a ball playing at the park with their cousins and we learned that another new baby is going to join our family in Feb. Congrats Brad and Sarah! We also filled up our new pool so we could warm it up and enjoy it the next day. The kids were super excited to go swimming on Friday.

Friday was a great day. Brian didn't have to work that night so he woke up early and we set up the tent. This was supposed to be our family campout with Brian's family but that fell thru so we decided to have a night in the tent. The kids were so excited to sleep out under the stars. Then they jumped in the pool and even though it wasn't the warmest, they enjoyed a couple hrs of pool and warm tramp. Then we got ready and caught the bus to the fair. The fair was great. The kids rode a few rides, we checked out our nieces' 4H stuff, ate lots of goodies, saw lots of fun friends, and just enjoyed the fair atmosphere. We got home a little before 8 p.m. and the kids were ready for the tent. We stalled them just to wait till dark and around 9 we went out to get them ready for bed. They were so happy, even though it was a bit chilly. It took them another 45 minutes to get to sleep. Too much to look at with all the stars and the moon and all the nighttime noises. The best part was seeing the meteor that zipped thru the sky. The kids were so impressed at how bright it was. Brian was pretty impressed too. While they were out in the tent, prego mommy thought it was best to sleep in her own bed. I could hear everything though cause they were right outside our window. They finally fell asleep but they were a couple times in the night to potty. I don't think they slept the greatest but it was still fun.

Saturday we just relaxed, visited with family, and swam for a few hours. The kids were so tired from their night in the tent that they crashed in their own beds pretty early Sat night. That was pleasant for mom and dad.

Sunday was a pretty day and a great day for church and movie watching.

Two more days and school starts for Kimberly. 1st grade this year and her first year for lunch. She is totally excited. I am ready for her to go to school too. Matthew is in need of mommy time, especially before the baby comes.

Here are some pictures of our weekend:
Morning after campout.
Silly Duke on the tramp.

My little star!
Blessings to all :-)

Our new baby BOY!

We are so excited to announce our new addition arriving in December... a little boy! We just had our ultrasound and were so excited to see a little boy. Kimberly is a little sad because she was hoping for a little girl but she knows it isn't our choice. Everything with the baby looked healthy and was measuring exact. We loved every minute of our ultrasound and we honestly went in not wanting to find out. But it ended up a little obvious and still had me in shock.

Here are some pictures of our new little baby boy:
Heartbeating at 145 bpm
Little baby boy in all his glory! haha
We feel very lucky and blessed to have the news we received today.

End of July

I can't believe it is the last day of July. Where has the summer gone? It is funny that we say the end of summer is July but when school is going to start in 2 weeks, the summer is officially over.
We have had a good summer. We have been busy and have enjoyed the sun. We got to enjoy the 24th of July Pioneer Day. The day starts at the church with our Stake breakfast and Primary parade. The kids decorated their bikes and scooters this year and had a ball riding around the church. Matthew was determined to ride his big bike and he did great. He looked so big in that parade. Then we got to watch the Logan parade. We had a lot of fun because the cousins that live in town all joined us. It is great to have so many cousins live nearby. Then after cooling off at home for a couple hrs, we headed to Brian's brother's house in Tremonton for dinner and fireworks. More cousins and lots more fun. It is a long day but the kids have a great time.

Our other big news this month of July was our new purchase. Brian and I decided this year that we needed a van with our new addition arriving later in the year. We both bought our previous vehicles in December and learned that is a major expense to register at a bad time of year. So we were determined to find a van in July. Well after much research and looking around, we came across a nice Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 2008. It is the perfect size and we love it. It was a little heartbreaking to give up my 4runner but a van was needed. We have enjoyed every minute of and can't wait for when our baby arrives.

The pregnancy has had its moments this time. I had a scare with high blood pressure so we made sure to eliminate all stress out of my life (well as best as we could) and it helped a bunch. The sad thing was I had to give up my Primary Secretary calling. I can't believe how long I have been in the Primary. Kimberly was in nursery when I started. It hasn't been too bad being in Relief Society and Sunday school. I just miss the kids in Primary. Maybe in the future I will be back in the primary one day.

Here are some pictures:
Tell me he isn't cute. Sometimes he is a goofball in the bathtub.
Kids meal toys that the kids thought were so funny. They are pretty goofy.
Waiting for the 24th parade. We did great finding shade. haha
Our new van.
Next month: Ultrasound on baby, dr appts, family campout, and school starts!

Fun 4th of July

What a fun 4th of July weekend. Because of the 4th falling on a Sunday, we were able to celebrate Friday thru Monday. Friday around noon, we took the kids to my parents for the weekend. Grammie and Grampie wanted to have the kids for a couple days and this was the perfect weekend. The kids didn't even make it in the house... they went straight to the backyard because Grammie and Grampie had their swimming pool and a slide pool blown up. They were so excited. We hurried and put on swimming suits and watched them have a ball. Brian and I left and drove back home by way of Bear Lake. It was a perfect day to see the lake and have a famous shake. That night we watched Logan's fireworks from our truck. We haven't been able to do that in years due to Kimmy not liking fireworks and Brian working. They were great!


Saturday Brian and I did some major kid room cleaning (one of the reasons they stayed at Grammie's house) and checked out the Cruise-In. It was so peaceful in the house and we enjoyed every minute of it. The kids were having a great time too. They got to play at the parks and then hit the big Soda foam. Every year Soda's fire crew make a big foam pit for the kids to play in with their swimsuits. Matthew didn't last long. Some little boy threw foam on Matthew's head and he was done. So him and Grampie cleaned up and went and had free watermelon. Kimmy was enjoying the foam and Grammie finally was able to pull her out to get some watermelon too.


Sunday was pleasant. We haven't been to church without kids in a long time. I actually caught myself telling Brian to take just one of the bread. haha. I guess I am just used to having kids around. The kids got to visit with their Great Grandparents and have a good rest day.


Monday Brian and I zoomed up to Soda early for the big festivities. Soda starts their morning with breakfast and then the fun runs and then the big parade. For a few years I had the enjoyment of dodging horse droppings while marching in the parade. This year was a treat because we got to see my dad march. My dad is a VFW member from his time in the Army in the Vietnam war. We were pretty proud to see him right behind the flags carrying his rifle. What an honor. Of course their is lots of candy and it helps to know people in the parade. We definitely have our summer stash of candy now and it is just the start of parade season. Matthew wasn't too fond of the loud noises of the parade and spent most of the parade covering his ears. Kimberly went thru the same thing but this year she was very brave and was running everywhere getting goodies. She even got her and Matthew a couple frisbees. It is important to wave to everyone in the parade... and it helps to be extra cute. After the parade, there is a bunch of stuff to do in the park: eat, shop, visit, train rides, carnival games with toys, big boucy toys, mini ferris wheel, snow cones, etc. There are even basketball tournaments, volleyball tournaments, and softball tournaments that go on all day long. Lot of fun.


That's my dad in the middle!
Notice Matthew covering his ears... the end of the parade was still going on.


The train ride was a big hit.

Brian had to work that night so we hurried home in the afternoon but we did stay up to do some fireworks of our own. Kimberly used to love snakes but now they aren't very exciting. Poppers are always a favorite and this year the kids found out how much fun it is to throw them in the road and wait for cars to run them over. haha. But we watched some fun fireworks and enjoy visits from the neighbors.

I tell ya... it took us a couple days to recover from our busy weekend but it was sure a lot of fun.

Can't wait till the 24th.

Our Fun Weekend

We decided we needed a vacation but didn't want to spend a lot of money. So we decided a staycation in Salt Lake would do us good. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on the west side of town and it was fun. They had this great pool area. It had a kid play area (see below) and then it had a basketball pool, a lap pool, and a water slide for adults. It was a lot of fun.

After we checked in and played at the pool for awhile, we went to the Real soccer game. It was very warm but it was fun. The kids lastest for 3/4 of the game and then got bored. Oh well.
I think the kids favorite part was the hotel stay. They thought having a hotel room was great and they actually slept pretty good. It was a nice hotel and we had a lot of fun.
Saturday we woke up and played at the pool for another hour or so and enjoyed ourselves. Then we got dressed, checked out and went shopping. We grabbed a table at the Skybox and ate some yummy lunch while we watched the first half of the USA soccer game. Too bad they ended up losing in the end.
Then we made our way up the hill to Hogle Zoo. It is amazing how you can get away from your town and still run into people you know. We saw a family from our ward and some family friends. It was extremely hot so we were doing our best to stay cool in the misters all around the zoo. I have a bunch of pictures but didn't want to put them all on here. Below was one of the highlights for the kids:
After three hot hours at the zoo, we made our way to the Salt Lake Bees baseball game. That was a blast. We got to say hi to the Bumblebee and ate a bunch of food. We had great seats and sat in the shade the entire time. We would have loved to stay the entire game but after 9 p.m. and still in the 7th inning, we knew we had to get home. (early church and I had to teach)
I think we are still trying to recoop from our fun weekend but it was well worth it.
:-)

Some things in June

Well as you can see one of our big happenings was Kimberly losing her 3rd tooth. She was so proud because she pulled this one out all by herself. At 6:30 a.m. one morning, she woke me up to show me her tooth was half out. Now how long she had been working on it, I will never know. I told her great and to go back to bed. 5 minutes later she comes back in to show me her missing tooth. After the drama of the last tooth (lots of tears and fears), this was pretty smooth. She still has a loose top tooth and the day after this one fell out, she realized the same tooth on the other side is loose. I guess that means she is growing up.

Here is my little fishy Kimmy. She took swimming lessons at the Sports Academy the first two weeks of June. It was pretty crappy weather outside but perfect for swimming lessons inside. She was a little nervous her first day but then the fish in her came out and she was swimming great by the second day. I was very proud of her. I think she swims better than me and her dad now. haha.

Aren't they cute. They can't resist a good picture with Duke. Duke loves them too.


This was at my mom's for Father's Day weekend. We were outside scootering around the driveway when Brian started whipping the kids around at the end of the sidewalk. Kimberly isn't as daring and screamed and was ready to fall down. But Matthew has no fear, especially when daddy is invovled and my mom captured this great picture. I see Xgames in our future.
Other than the crappy weather, it has been a nice summer. We are enjoying sleeping in and watching World Cup Soccer. Brian is bummed that the games are when he is sleeping but he has been lucky to watch the replays at night.
Father's Day weekend was fun. We spent a couple days at my parents house and had a blast. Got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa and some old neighbor friends. It was pretty weather and I think we hit every park in Soda (not too hard... there are only 4). Then Father's Day was fun. Brian was loved and I am sure he felt loved. We went over to Tremonton that afternoon to visit with his dad and enjoyed family time over there.
Still more June to go and we are busy.
Blessings till next post :-)

Happy 3rd Birthday to Matthew

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little Matthew Troy Peterson. I can't believe he is 3 already. Where has the time gone. He is no longer my baby, even though he still cuddles with me sometimes.


Matthew had a fun birthday weekend. Since his official birthday was on Sunday, May 30th; we had grandparents over on Saturday. We had a great day, even though it rained and hailed. We all went out to lunch and then opened presents. Then cake and ice cream and then a pinata. I had to get a pinata just for Matthew and Kimberly. I found a cute soccer ball pinata and we filled it full of candy. The pinata was so hard to break that Brian had to break it open after 20 tries by Matthew and 20 tries by Kimberly. But the kids loved it.



Matthew got some great presents and his big present was a Spiderman scooter. He seems a little small for a scooter but he is always on Kimberly's so we thought he could use his own. He loves it.








On Sunday after church he got to open more presents and was pretty happy to celebrate more birthday. After the weekend, we were all pretty much birthday'd out. But Matthew had a ball.








Then yesterday my mom came into town to play with the kids and me and we went and got some pictures done at the new place in the mall; Smiles. The kids were great. I had to laugh at Matthew. He takes pictures like his daddy. He will sit there good but he doesn't want to smile. We finally got him to say cheese and we did get a few smiles. I am looking at these pictures and just in awe at how big my kids are getting. I will post the pictures in a bit.
Blessings to all till next post :-)

May Happenings

I can't believe May is almost done. It has flown by. We have been busy this month. I wish I could say we have been enjoying the beautiful weather but I think we had only 2 days so far that were just beautiful. The rest of the month has been pretty wet and miserable. We even got down into the 30s for a few days and it felt like March. When will summer arrive?

Our big news of the month is the new bundle of joy we will be having this year. Brian and I went to the dr in our 10th week and we had a great appt. The baby looked so cute and we could see his or her heartbeat. I swear when Kimmy was in my tummy she looked like a kidney bean on the ultrasound but technology has changed and we were able to see this little person inside of me. We could see the little nubby arms and legs that are growing. My favorite part (besides only seeing one baby) was seeing the heart beating and pretty fast. Love that sight. That night we sat down the kids and told them the good news. Kimmy took 15 seconds to take in the news and then she got really excited. Matthew followed her example and got really excited but I don't think he understood. But later while we were discussing the baby, Matthew grabbed my shirt and looked down it. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was looking for the baby. haha. I thought that was cute. I explained to him the baby was in my tummy and so now he asks me if my tummy hurts cause of the baby. He has asked me if the baby is in my bum and then he laughs hard. He is silly. But our bundle is new Dec. 21. Since I am having another C-section, I am planning on scheduling the baby a week before Christmas so I will be home for the holiday. I have already told Brian we are having Christmas done by October. He agrees.


The other big news is school is almost done for Kimberly. Her Kindergarten year went by fast and I am amazed at how she has grown. Last night we were invited to an award night and Kimberly got Top Reader in her class. We are so proud of her. She loves school and can't wait to be in 1st grade next year. I am still trying to wrap my brain around that fact. My little girl will be gone to school all day and even be eating lunch there. What am I going to do with her little brother? haha. He worships sissy and enjoys every minute with her (yes they fight but then they are playing two seconds later). We will just have to enjoy our summer and deal with that when the time comes.


Brian hopefully will start softball soon. It has been raining so much that we can never play. Brian is changing jobs at work. He accepted a position in singles (think Kraft singles cheese) on nights. Same pay as before but we at least will know his work schedule 2 weeks in advance, better than 2 days before. Good deal all around. The only big change for us is that he will work from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. That means I get to sleep in till 7 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. I think I can handle that. :-)


Hopefully summer will come soon so we can play outdoors all day long and enjoy the warm weather.

Blessings to all till next post.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

I love mother's day. Not only because I am a mother but because we celebrate all mothers. I love my mother and all she does for me. I am a little sad this year because I can't be with my mom on mother's day. She is in Texas seeing her mother's gravesite and cleaning out her house. I should feel lucky though because some of my friends never get to see their mother's on mother's day. I love my mother-in-law. She is the sweetest lady and my 2nd favorite mom on this earth. I do get to see her on mother's day and that will be nice. I love my grandmother and called her to wish her a happy mother's day. She will be 80 years old in a week and we are glad she is still here on this earth.

I am blessed to be a mother. I have 2 beautiful children and a puppy (yes I am mommy to the puppy). My hubby spoils me as a mother. This morning before church my family let me open some presents. The children gave me the most appropriate card. You open it up and two bunnies start screaming mom in a bunch of different ways and it sounded like my children perfectly. Still makes me laugh. Of course my husband gives me a card that makes me cry. He is so sweet that way. Then I opened the present I had asked for... a book. Then my children gave me a gift they thought I would love... a snuggie. As cold as it has been, it was perfect. Then my hubby came in from the garage with my last present... a hammock. I am so excited for this hammock. I really don't have a place out in the backyard to hang out while the children play so this will be perfect. My grandfather had one at his house while I was growing up and I enjoyed the relaxation of it so I can't wait for my hammock and the warm weather.

Church was great. I enjoy being a mom at church and being in the Primary. The Primary kids (and me) sing a mother's day song to all in Sacrament. Then we get a gift and this year it was something I was craving... chocolate and starburst. Love it!

I hope all my friends and family enjoy this mother's day. I know I am enjoying every minute of it.

Happy Mother's Day!

Funny Story

So I have a funny story about the earthquake. April 15th around 6 p.m., northern utah/wyoming border (Randolph) had a 4.9 earthquake. According to the news, this earthquake was felt as far north as Jackson Hole. Well I had just sat down on the toilet in the bathroom when the toilet started shaking. At first I thought it was just me and I was having a little dizzy spell. So I grabbed onto the counter and looked at the towels in front of me and they were swaying. It was a little unnerving and lastest about 20 seconds. Brian was on the telephone at the time and the kids were playing outside. I asked Brian when he got off the phone if he felt it. He didn't and asked the kids if they felt anything and they didn't either. hmmm. So I turned on the news to prove I wasn't losing it and sure enough... Breaking news about the earthquake. So Brian did believe me but decided that he was going to tell people it about knocked me off the toilet. haha. My dad made the comment that I had a good bowel movement if I felt shaking. They are not funny!

Happy Easter 2010






Hope everyone had a nice Easter. We enjoyed the Easter Bunny, conference, and family time with Brian's family. Was a very nice.
