Cute kids

I was happy to find the kids getting along well one evening. Christion was so kind to play with Sarah and her new Princess Ariel ball and Emily was peacefully reading in her room. Days like this give me hope.

40 isn't so bad!

I've been dreading turning 40, but found that it wasn't all that bad. :)

Disneyland!

Sarah was invited by a friend to attend the "Happiest Place on Earth"--of course her mom just had to come along, too :). So, Sarah and I ditched school and spent a fun filled day at Disneyland with friends Jericha and her daughter, "Ju-Ju". The park was not packed and we had little to no wait on most rides. It turns out that my little girl is quite daring. She loves the fast roller coasters! She was thrilled with Space Mountain and the Materhorn. When she got off each ride, she would quickly say, "Can we go again?" The last time Sarah went she was 3 and she doesn't remember anything from that trip; so this was a fun adventure to see Disneyland for the first time, AGAIN!

Tea Party

Bryce and I went to a Tea Party rally on April 15th. Interestingly, what we found was a cross section of America. There were older people, teenagers, young parents with children, men with pony tails, men in suits. People of all different races, religions (including people that were not religious), and walks of life attended the rally. As we said the Pledge of Allegance I had to smile at the fact that Tea Party participants are portrayed as the crazy fringe of America. In fact, I'm sure that someone looking for a wild time, thought we were boring. We listened to patriotic music, listened to speeches from junior high aged students, radio hosts, soldiers, religious leaders, and enjoyed a commeraderie of people that truly feel like this is a wonderful country and we are thankful to be here. It gave me hope to see that there are people that feel it was important enough to gather and express their freedom of speech. In my opinion, that's one of the best things about being American. God Bless America!

Lets Make A Deal

Bryce and I were invited to attend "Let's Make A Deal" with our friends. Bryce was picked to make a deal with Wayne Brady himself. We can't tell what happened until it airs, but we can say that we had a lot of fun. That is a cool show to attend--we highly recommend it to anyone!

I love spring!

I love this time of year. Blue sky, birds chirping, and trees exploding with blossoms. Here is a picture of a tree in our front yard completely covered with tiny pink flowers. Sarah loves it so much she counts pink trees whenever we drive around town. Happy Spring!
