Say 'Medicine'
It's always fun to try to get a "group shot".
Especially when kids are involved.
Me: "Girls, can you all come over here so I can take a picture of the three of you?"
Kallie: runs away
.......
Me: "Say cheese"
Kylah: "Say 'medicine' Auntie!"
......
Me: "Makena...smile!"
Makena: "I am!"
.....
Me: "Just one good picture please?"
.....
Me: "Fine...do a funny face..."
Oh well, I smiled at least...

Why I smiled today
Kylah and Kallie spent the day with us.
Jamie and Kallie went to Costco in the morning. I try to stay far (far) away from there on the weekends. My sanity just can't handle it.
I told Kallie that Uncle Jamie wasn't allowed to bring anything home that was bigger than she was. It worked.
Kylah and Makena played while I cleaned up the house.
Later, Jamie mowed the yard (yep, you heard right - Jamie mowed) while I did some other yard work with Kallie.
Then we went for a walk and to the park.

Makena had to hold the poop bag while I took pictures.
She wasn't too happy about it either.
love this
Kallie was in the mood to hug and pose for pictures. Kylah was not - which is unusual.
She always tries to see how close she can get to the camera lens
Moxie always loves going to the park too
Kylah said she could see me
I'll bring Spring to you
Went for a walk yesterday, and I decided to bring Spring to you...
Now, bring on Summer!
How long does it take to find 46 eggs?
We were invited to the Flaherty's house for Easter Brunch and an egg hunt.
Luckily, the sun came out in the morning so the kids could hunt eggs while it was dry this time. MUCH more fun!
Tracie hid 46 eggs for Kylah, Ivie, Logan and Kallie to find. Had I known there was money in the eggs, I would have been looking too.
Logan scored several eggs with money in them.
We gave Kylah a puzzle - Jamie helped her put it together
The yummy dinner

Show 'em your stuff
I thought this was a great, to the point, post from the Green is Sexy blog.
Feeling powerless in a messed up world? You’re not! You can influence change in lots of ways by choosing carefully how to spend your money. Sure, the economy sucks, but we all still have to buy things, right? Flex your spending power to change the world. The more you spend your money on products that are better for the environment or reward do-gooder companies with your business, you’ll be sending a loud and clear message about what matters to you. If enough of us stopped buying bleached paper towels, for example, you can bet your bottom dollar we’d see an influx of unbleached paper towels at every store that sells them.
Buying products from companies that respect the Earth, the people who make the products and give back to charitable organizations are easier to find than you may think! Need a place to start? Check out our current and past Products of the Month for some ideas.
You don’t need to eat (organic) spinach to grow big muscles – use your debit card and a little research to show ‘em who’s boss.

You try to find a dry egg in Oregon today
I told Dylona that I wanted to go to an Easter Egg Hunt with the girls again this year. Because it's Oregon, it rained.
It rained a lot.
Then it rained harder.
And it was cold.
But, there was candy!

Logan & Kallie waiting to start
Kallie didn't want the "dirty" candy
so I asked Kylah to help her
after her basket was full, of course
After the egg hunt, we found a dry place to eat candy, blow bubbles and play.
Why, you ask, do the kids have cotton candy too? Well...it was free! Yay, more sugar and smiling, happy, sticky faces.
