An Easter Eggstravaganza

By -
Yes, I know this post is over a month late, but here's for historical obligations. The pictures would never reveal that this very morning we were all in a frenzy searching for Aiden who had run away. Long story short, he was found at the park OUT of our neighborhood down a very busy street by a lady jogging who had called the police. And how do we punish our runaway?? By taking him to a community Easter Eggstravaganza of course! What horrible parents we are on so many levels... ;)






Love this kid's constant scowl that day...







Talk about one freaky looking Easter Bunny. I don't blame Sam at all for not wanting to touch the rabid thing.



Trying to see his colored tongue from all the candy.



And hooray for balloon ladies! This piece of art lasted a whole 30 seconds.



Sam hung on to his a bit longer. He LOVES hats!!



And back home we dyed Easter eggs. The boys loved it and we only had a 25% egg loss!







Contrary to toddler logic, anything dyed brightly is NOT Kool-Aid.

If it is not Kool-Aid then why is it in the cup? Don't worry about losing Aiden. I know of at least 3 occasions when we lost McKae, at a waterpark, the beach, and crossing a busy street to go to the park. And we still have her. :)

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
