Blessed electricity!

So, because of a little hiccup, we were without power for three days. Poor mom--they were the last three days of her visit. I have to say, camping in your own home isn't that fun. Actually, the whole situation stressed me out. All I know is, I have a renewed appreciation for the lights and the heat.

As a result of laziness, the camera never made it upstairs this week. But, luckily, we didn't post last week so I still have some pictures. Not enough though--I am such a slacker with the camera when people come to visit! Mom was here for over a week, and we loved it, but don't really have photographic documentation. But, let it be said here: we adored having her visit and I've been mildly homesick since she left. We also had a great Easter--luckily it was the day before the blackout--and enjoyed spending time with Joel, Brittany and Maribeth. MB found a beautiful wedding dress while she was here. She's going to look like a princess.

We'll get back on schedule this week. Reid just learned how to say "taco" and it's pretty cute--and Gage got a haircut--so hopefully we'll catch those two things with the camera and have some fun stuff to post next week.

Sharing a drink at Costco--they drink shakes like this alot. Sometimes it's all I can get in them! Usually though, I make healthy ones at home!

Joel and Brittany. She's got the ring on her finger now...


Dapper little men ready for church:


Checking out the Easter present from Nana! Reid loves this toy. I too enjoy the constant repeat of "Hi, I'm Pablo" over and over as he presses the button again and again...

Joel and Brittany being sports and watching the boys outside for a bit. You can see a lovely view of our not-so-lovely backyard. I figure a not-so-lovely yard is better than no yard at all!
