Easter

Well, at first Julia thought Easter was about candy and chocolate... So we talked and now she says it is because Jesus loves her and she can go to heaven and play the drums. :-)
Saturday we went to an egg hunt. They drop candy from a helicopter onto the field, then when we have the go ahead it is a mad dash to grab as much candy as you can. It was more funny to watch and listen to some of the parents cheering their kids to "go get it" and "over there is a lot more" For myself, I am glad Julia took her time, picked up a few eggs, and watched others around her.
Ryan did it too. He had spent the night at a friend's house and went up there with them; then we met up after the hunt. I think they both had a lot of fun, and got WAY TOO MUCH candy!
Here are a few pictures:

Music

Well, I put some of Julia's favorite songs on my mp3 player and let her use it. She has never been so quiet for so long!! She really loves music!
She got a duplicate present for her birthday so we exchanged it, used some birthday $$, and got a toy guitar for her. (Thanks Clems and Todds!) You can see her jamming out with brother to David Crowder's "Glorious" in the slide show below. It's funny how she wants to play along with the music just like Ryan does. :-)

Birthday Week!!!

Well, we survived Birthday week for the kids. Julia's was last Wednesday, Ryan's was Saturday. We celebrated Julia's on Wednesday at home, she took cupcakes to church that night and to MDO on Thursday. Friday night Ryan had 3 friends over for a sleepover and they had a great time hanging out and playing Wii. They did play outside until it was too dark, so it was not all gaming ;-)Saturday was taken up with 2 soccer games. That made for a very busy and tiring day. Then we went to McDonald's in the evening and met up with friends (our San Angelo "family") and had a little party for Julia. Here's some pictures for you to see.We have definitely had enough cake for a LONG time. :-)
