Easter

I know Easter was a couple of weeks ago but it's been kind of a crazy month so far. My grandma Fisher passed away April 6th and then a few days later my Uncle Marty was in a terrible car accident. Not his fault but there was a fatality and he's still in the hospital. So we decided to take a trip to California to visit family and regroup. There's nothing better for the soul then a few hours at the beach relaxing.

Easter was a lot fun. We had dinner with the Carpenter's and Kimball's your traditional ham meal topped off with a festive egg hunt. The kids had a blast, the girl's were all decked out in Indianna's dress up clothes it was cute. It's fun watching them every year get bigger and have a better understanding of the holiday. Next year will really get into the importance of Easter.

March was a busy month

March was a busy month with both Grace and Josh's birthdays. We spent a few days in California visiting family (I still need to post some pix's) at Disneyland and the beach. Joye and Roy were gracious to let us invade there home. It was beautiful weather. Chris was in Colorado visiting his family and had a great time. We of course started potty training then when I thought I didn't have enough on my plate I decided to slice the top of my left thumb off. Sounds worse than it really was but has made trying to do things with one hand difficult and exhausting. Hopefully that mends sooner than later. Now time to get ready for April, Easter, Brian's birthday and were spending the last weekend in Show Low with the Carpenter's. Which will be a great time since it's already starting to heat up to the 90's it will be great to be up in the cool air of the mountains.

Potty Training update

We started off potty training with a very long week then one day she just seemed to get it. The next week was great she went right into the bathroom without saying a word most of the time I found her cleaning out her princess potty. Then came a new week and everything was forgotten. Once again my greatest nightmare has come true. I think potty training was devised to see who could outlast who, child or parent. Hopefully this week is just a minor setback and she'll be back on track soon. I pray
