Easter

Easter weekend was really busy for Brian and I. After working an 11 hour day at Edible Arranements, which Brian came and helped me, it was really fun for us to be able to work together. Brian went and watched the Formula 1 race with a couple of his friends, but since the race didn't start until 1:30 am I decided to go home and sleep. I woke up early on Sunday to get some food cooking in the crockpot, and to do our easter baskets. As I was filling the eggs with jelly beans, I rememeber a cute tradition Brian's mom used to do for them when they were at home. She would do a jelly bean trail from their room to where their Easter baskets were. I thought "why not?" So I quielty did a jelly bean trail from our room, to downstairs where I had put our baskets. Although it was really fun for me to do, I decided that Brian just doesn't get as excited as I want him to over jelly beans, so I should probably have kids, so I can feel acomplished at the little jelly bean trails that I do. Don't get me wrong Brian loves jelly beans, but I wanted the jump and down, screaming, I love jelly beans reaction. and well, Brian just doesn't do those kind of reactions.



We had a big family dinner at my parents house, everyone was there, and the kids had an Easter egg hunt. It was fun to watch them because now that they are older, we are able to hide the eggs pretty good now, and instead of having to go out with them and make sure they see the eggs laying in the grass, we just watch them have a good time, and watch how intense they get while they are finding the eggs. We had a wonderful Easter, and hope that everyone had just as great an Easter as we did.

A Little Note...

It has been a while since I have posted anything new on our blog. With work, getting over colds, finals coming up, starting a new job, getting tonsel idis(I think that's how you spell it?) I always feel like I am in the twilight zone, when I have free time. I almost don't know what to do with myself. The only thing I can think of sleeping!! Easter was great though, and I will be updating and posting pictures soon.

Grandma Nona


This past weekend we went to Vancouver, Washington for Brian's Grandma's Memorial. She past away last wednesday afternoon, so we flew to Vancouver Friday night with family, and had her memorial service on Saturday. It was a really nice service, and we got to see family we havn't seen in a really long time. We also got to meet our newest cousin Devin, we had never met her before so it was quite fun to get to see her. It was also a great weekend because Brian's brother and sisters and mom hadn't all been together for almost 2 years, it was great to catch up with everyone and to see how everyone is doing. It was nice to all sit around and talk about the memories we had with Grandma Nona. She was a great lady and lived a full life. We will miss her greatly, but we know she is in heaven with our heavenly father, and reuniting with her family and especially her husband Grandpa Jimmy. We will always love our Grandma Nona.
