Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. The weather was beautiful, we had a wonderful day at church, and we had family over for dinner.


I just had to take this picture. Mark worked so hard helping to get our house ready and the dinner made, and I found him like this about a hour before our company came. He told me his hands were dry so he put them in his pockets!? He was in this position for almost an hour. What a funny boy. I love him so much!

Here are the grandchildren talking to grandma on Skype!

Andrew and Nathan

Cute cousins!

Happy Birthday to my April babies!!!

April Fools!

I played my first April Fool's joke on my kids. My sister asked me how it went, and here are the results. They fell for it!!! Thanks to a morning news program that gave me the idea, I made my boys a delicious dessert of chocolate covered cotton balls! Poor Andrew, he actually took and bite and swallowed, because James was slower in taking a bite and I didn't want to ruin the joke for him. Andrew took that one bite, swallowed and exclaimed, "I don't like it." Then James took a bite and immediately spit it out.

My unsuspecting victims...


Andrew's face says it all...yuck. James about to take a bite!

This is after I told them their mom played a joke on them. They were good sports.

Cavities and Prescription Toothpaste

I went to the dentist yesterday. I had a cavity. :( It's been about 16 years since my last one though. Everything went well, and I'm still happily married! ;) I can say for myself now that Mark is a very good dentist!!! He also brought home some special "anti-cavity" Rx toothpaste for me. He claims it's for him to use too. Whatever, Mr. I've never had a cavity in my life! It was my first cavity in a long time, and now I need special toothpaste? I guess that's what I get for being married to a dentist.
