Easter

Our Easter tradition is to go to my friend Kate's parents here in Albuquerque. That's because they feed us really well and give us 20 pounds of candy. Oh, and we like their company.



This year Ami got bunny ears from Aunt Kate. She still hasn't warmed up to them very well. They come off just as fast as they go on. That is why in the pictures she has her hands on them. Yesterday she was playing around with them and wanted me to wear them. I forgot I had them on and went out to pull the trash can off the street. I got to the street and remembered what I had on my head. Thank goodness nobody saw me that I know of.



Grama made Ami a beautiful dress for Easter. Scott request if Ami gets a new dress that he get a tie to match. I ended up matching them on accident. We got to church and several people told us that we should take a family picture. Well, we probably won't get a professional one, but you can check out Ami's dress and few other pictures over on the picture page.

Multi-Tasking at its Finest

Scott got a stationary bike for his birthday. The other night I saw him grab the remote and an ice cream sandwich. I thought he was going to go sit on the couch. Nope. He exercised while he ate his ice cream. I've never seen this kind of multi-tasking.

Wii Have Fun

As always we can never wait until our actual anniversary to give or get our gift. On the 29th we will be married for five years. I tried to talk Scott into a cruise, but with work being busy he really doesn't have the time with all the other happenings this Spring and Summer. So, instead we bought a Wii. I think this is the most active that either one of us has been in a long time.



Steve and Michelle were down for a night and we stayed up until one playing. Needless, to say all of us were sore except for Steve.



When Scott left this morning he told me not to spend all day playing the Wii. From the pictures you can see why he told me that. Our house needed some cleaning. I can honestly say I haven't touched it today, yet.

Scott bowling. Who needs to leave their house anymore?





Baseball anyone? And look at those forearm muscles.





Don't even have to get out of a skirt to play baseball.





I'll be pro sometime soon.

Well, if we can keep ourselves away from it for very long we might just post a video tonight.



Oh, you want to know how Ami is doing? There are some new pictures posted of her. We haven't completely neglected her.

What is your name and your kids' again?

My thought for the day is that the hardest thing about being a mom is when you are at a kid's function and you meet someone you not only have to try to remember their name but also their kids' names. (Yep, that is a run on sentence or is sure to have some sort of grammatical errors.)

Bathroom Break with Ami

Today I got the pleasure of trying to go to the bathroom while my child was in the bathroom with me for the first time. Luckily they have those family bathrooms now in most places, so at least I can keep my eyes on her at all times. She kept on trying to put her hands in the toilet while I was still on it. Fortunately, she doesn't have a far enough reach. However, she did reach in once I was finished and the toilet was flushed. You don't want your child playing in your toilet at home let alone a toilet at Walmart. Instantly I broke out with the disinfecting wipes and wiped her hands. Yes, I know they are not to be used on humans, but you know what I felt safer having that on her than gross toilet water from Walmart. The life and times of being a mom. Can't wait till I have a couple of them in the bathroom with me.

Swimming

We went swimming for FHE tonight. It was fun overall. We went with the Struves. Ami was not happy about being cold, however she did like walking around in her bathing suit previous to swimming. Jack on the other hand warmed up to the pool a little better. He was at least happy and waving. I think he has more insulation than Ami.



I put up some recent pictures. Sorry, I'm too tired to write something interesting. The pictures will just have to do.

Our Next Fashion Expert

Normally on Sundays I lay out Ami's clothes for Church. Well, this past Sunday I didn't have any ideas, so Scott was all on his own. This is what he came up with.







While he was getting her dressed:



Scott--(Yells) Doesn't she have a white sweater ?



I bring one in.



Scott--I meant a cream colored one.



Later on:



Scott--I know that they are fall colors but it is sort like a fall day with it being overcast and all.



I just smiled.



Don't be surprised if you see him on the next fashion show. He will be putting together outfits like nobodies business. However, I'm not sure he has the correct walk down to go into that profession as a man.

Opinions Needed

You all have opinions and so now is your chance to use it. I have a dilemma. I'm not sure what to do with my hair. Yes, I know that the men that just read that are rolling their eyes. Here are pictures of my most recent do.































So, this what I need to know. Do you like this hairstyle on me? Should I grow it out or go back to another short hairstyle I have worn. I'm not looking for compliments. I'm looking for your honest opinion. I can take it, just ask Scott. Before he left on his mission he told me not to cut my hair. I grew it out for two years, except for I cut some bangs. The very day he came home he told me he didn't like my hair. We have been happily married for five years now. So, don't be afraid.
