Due to my extreme laziness/ business, I have grossly neglected my blog. I thought about picking things up and not worrying about what I had missed, but decided that since this is, in a sense, our family journal, I didn't want to miss out on Spring of 2011!
To see all of the posts you will have to continue at the bottom of the page where it says older posts. I was way behind!
Hopefully, I can keep things updated, but life is about to get really crazy for as we prepare for another move, this time to Northern California. Here's to good intentions! Enjoy catching up on what we've been up to the past two months!

Harry Potter obsession
Another funny story from this weekend: Matthew got a birthday party invite at church 2 weeks ago. He was so excited to tell me about it. he said, "there's going to to be hot dogs, cake and a bounce house!" all as he counted them out for me on his fingers. It was so cute. We went to the birthday party this past Saturday. He had so much fun. When we left, he said, "but Mom, they didn't have cake. They said they were going to have cake." I explained to him that at birthday parties, a lot of times they will do cupcakes in place of cake because it's easier for kids to eat. He thought for a second and said with a chuckle, "oh, they tricked us! They did cupcakes instead!" I loved it!

Painting
I am so grateful that Ken and Katherine were willing to come and help us. This was a huge job! It took us 5 days of painting and we still have the master and guest bedrooms to finish! Insane! Thanks brother!
Jake thought this would be a good time to hang out in the crib!

I love my painted walls! I can't believe what a difference it makes! Kenny also helped Jess change the outside lights with the new insanely tall ladder they bought. They also changed out the ceiling fan in the TV room. This "hot mama" really appreciates having a place to sit under and cool off after having to go out in the Florida heat! I know, I'm such a baby, but this bun in the oven thing seems to be quite literal!

Easter
San Fransisco
We had a yummy dinner at a restaurant called 21 Market street in SF and then headed over to Livermore, where Jess had meetings scheduled during the week. I spent the week, eating out, looking around the town we would prospectively like to live in, reading the newspaper at breakfast every morning, sleeping in, taking walks with Jess and a little shopping. Oh and definitely some romance! It was fun having Jess mostly all to myself. Work got in the way a little, but all in all, it was like the trips we used to take before we had kids. Funny thing is though, I spent at least two weeks prior dreaming about how awesome and amazing it was going to be to have this break. Once I was on it, I missed having a purpose to my day. On the day that Jess had meetings, I checked out the local shopping situation. A very important detail to any potential move! I found myself wandering around, sort of like I was lost. Strange. We had a ton of fun, loved the area and I was really glad to get back home to my babies! I am so glad that I don't have to fly coast to coast as much as Jess has. Oh yeah, if you ever fly on Delta, try the Bentley's Carmel popcorn they sell-YUM!
