Easter Fun!

This Easter was a lot of fun! On Saturday morning we woke up and went to a couple of Easter egg hunts. Noah is at a fun age and he loved looking for eggs. He's been able to do quite a few, starting Monday night for our family night, where we looked for eggs that had a symbol in each one which reminded us of the crucifixion and resurrection of the Savior. We also dyed hard boiled eggs and made some goodies. On Sunday morning we woke up and saw what the Easter bunny had left and then had a great day going to church and then to celebrate with family. I love spring and all the joy and excitement it brings!

Feliz Cumpleanos, mi hermano!

Yesterday was Chris' birthday. My siblings got together for our monthly fun night and Chris just so happened to have it this month. He made us all a yummy dinner and we decided to celebrate him turning thirty-eight as well! It was a fun night with lots of laughter, where there were almost some "incidents", I will leave it at that. :)

• Which character or star? Rudy and then later on, Olivia Most embarrassing moment your friends will never let die? Of course, when I've peed my pants. In particular, probably the time in 7th grade when all our friends were at Chucky Cheese's and we were all doing a train down the biggest slide. Well I was laughing so hard, and the space was very confined, so my legs were up on the top, like giving a moon shot, and I accidentally peed. Instead of it being Jen or Julie in front of me, who were used to this kind of thing happening, it had to be one of the boys, Nate Blackshurst. I don't think I've scared anyone that bad before, the look on his face was indescribable!

• And what did you try and make the test result outcome be? Anything in the medical field
• What made you laugh harder than you ever laughed before? Anytime that's made me pee, (that was the reason I would pee),usually talking about middle school memories or Jen's dad's laugh, that would always get us rolling!

Pet Peeves

So this is kind of random, but the other day Ryan and I were talking with my brother about funny little things and some of our pet peeves. We were first talking about peanut butter and whether crunchy or creamy is better?! Then Ryan brought up the toilet paper roll. All of us seemed to agree that having it over was, no question, the way to put it on. It's funny, though, someone mysterious that comes to grandpa's house always puts it under when they change it, we haven't figured out who it is yet. :) I decided maybe I would do a poll and see what kind of results we get with different opinions. I don't know if it is just me, but I really notice it bigtime if it is under! I guess it's just one of those pet peeves of mine.Kind of interesting, but fun!
