Easter

On Saturday we joined my family up in Millcreek Canyon for an egg hunt and breakfast. Although my outside temp thermometer said it was 50 degrees, it felt much cooler than that. We had fun though. Nikki, Jeff, Mom, and I attempted all sorts of things to get the fire started so we could stay warm and start cooking, but it took forever. We finally got it started when Mark brought lighter fluid to us. The paper Nikki and Jeff are trying to light here was too wet for a flame to catch.


This is the kids crossing the bridge over the river at our picnic area.


The kids had a blast doing the egg hunt and Rick and Mallory were very nice in where they put the eggs so that kids who are not so observant were able to find them. They each got 16 eggs filled with candy.
On Sunday, my kids did a little egg hunt around the house. The picture thing on this website is not working with me, so I am not able to post anymore pictures. They each got a cool prefilled basket. Stacey got a Glee tv show themed basket that came with a three ring folder, a mouse pad, a pencil contain, and a few other things. She also got a small purse and a bracelet.
Jayden got a football and a couple of Star Wars action figures. He's completely stoked and has played with them constantly all day yesterday.
Kail got a big monster truck toy and Boba Fett gun. He has been running about with that gun shooting anything he feels like.
I promise that if I can figure out how to get the picture thing working again I will post more pictures.

Final Medical Adventures

I got the "OK" to no longer where the boot. I am fully in a shoe now and I am totally excited. It's been too long. I have good range of motion and very little pain in the soft tissue and the doctor said I've healed well. I cannot do any running yet, but that's okay because I wasn't much of a runner to begin with. I can do low impact Zumba, which means that I won't be jumping around with them, but I can at least get back into it. I've missed Zumba.
I do have to have a tooth pulled today because it is causing a huge amount of pain and I have to have an endontist do a root canal on it if I wanted to save the tooth. But, we don't have the $704 to pay the endotist or the extra $300 for the build-up and crown, so I'm opting for the pull. That gives us time to save up for the bridge or whatever they will do to hold the space of the tooth that was pulled.
Otherwise, we are all still the same here. School for the older two kids and me. Kail is Kail. He'll be 4 in 2 months. I can't believe that. He's getting so big. Stacey and Jayden are doing well in school and they are looking forward to Spring Break next week. Yikes! A house full of kids for a week. Crazy!
