Low down....

Aghhh! I am getting very nectful with the family blog. Perhaps I need to make Olivia a contributor and have her write the blog posts for me.

We've been great, just busy enjoying life and each other.

*We dyed easter eggs last week as all good moms let their children do. I have pictures, but I'm not posting them only because I have other things that I want to being doing right now. But you've all seen kids dye eggs before so keep that mental image if you need one.

*They went to the city Easter egg hunt. They had fun of course. No pictures again. Just visualize the happiness. Caleb won a free movie rental in a prize egg.

*We don't give our kids Easter baskets. I don't know why other than I never grew up getting them. We always got a present though instead. So, our kids get a little present instead too. This year the kids got Venus Fly-Trap's. How cool is that! (Remember we have boys. What's cooler than feeding a piece of ham to a plant that clamps shut and eats it?) Olivia did get a dress though too. (I need to remember not to go dress buying for Easter two days before Easter).

*We had a snow storm yesterday. Complete with a winter-weather storm advisory. Who would have thought? On my way to "town" yesterday to go to the temple I saw cars off the road. The snow was crazy. It's all melted now. I don't don't mind snow/rain really. We live in such a drought ridden area that any moisture is appreciated.

*I took my final for BYU-Geography. Another great class. Advanced English Writing is next. I probably won't start it for another month though. I'm not really thrilled to take it, but it's a required class. I really love the history classes though.

*We dejunked the play room today. Whoa! Talk about loosing 50 pounds of house fat.

*We are all very happy tax season is over. Alex was in Ogden today closing down one of the offices for this season. Another season down. Whew!

*Life is good. We are happy, healthy and busy. We couldn't be more blessed.

Deanna! I learned how to comment! Yeah! Now I won't have to leave imaginary comments that only I can read. I love checking in to see what the heck the Sutters are up to now. The kids look healthy and happy and you sound great. Miss you and Stephanie and our DEEP discussions. We have soooo much to catch up on when I get back. And no, my reading list will not be long and exhaustive this time back. Too much like real life here in the tropics. Love it, but it is definitely NOT just a vacation. I'll talk to you soon....love michelle
