April

Today is a big day for April. She is having a P.E.T scan to see if the chemo is shrinking the tumors. If all looks good she will only need two more treatments. Please pray for her and her family. Good luck sis, I will be waiting to hear from you.

She did it!

Rich and I told Erin she could get her ears pierced anytime she wanted. Which means if she didn't want to do it until she was thirty she didn't have to and that was her plan at first. Well all of the sudden she has been wanting to do it. Kira was getting her ears pierced for her 10th birthday so we thought that would be the perfect time to do it. I really thought she wouldn't go through with it, but she did. Kira went first and then Erin. She didn't cry, squeeze my hand or flinch. She is so excited she has been wearing her hair back so everyone can see. Cutest thing is she picked green studs to match her eyes.

Happy 40th Birthday Apey

Happy Birthday Sis! You are the bomb. I don't know how you do it. You are a great mom, wife, sister and of course aunt! We love you.

Happy Birthday Crabpa

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Crabpa, Happy Birthday to you!

Our mini vacation

One year after being baptized, Jim went through the Seattle Temple and invited us to come. Jim asked Rich to be his escort, here they are in front of the temple.

We went up and stayed at my mom and Jim's so we could be there for his endowments, but who knew we would get a little rest and relaxation ourselves. Thanks Nana and Crabpa we had a great time!

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had as nice as a Easter as we did!

Spring Break

Well I haven't come up with much to do this spring break yet but Andrea and I did take the kids to see the new Hannah Montana movie today. Erin of course loved it and the verdict is still out for Allyssa. But she did just watch Return of the King for the first time and still has Aragorn on the brain. My vote is...I thought it was cute.
