We had a crazy whirlwind Easter celebration. Everybody except JD came to southern Cal and we ate and played and had a wonderful time! 

Last week I was surprised and thrilled to find out that Eric and Sam were making a quick trip to Southern Cal and wanted to leave baby Kami with me for a couple of days til they came back for Easter.  I was a little nervous that she might have a hard time staying without her mama but she surprised me. She is amazingly adaptable. We had a great time! She is my little sweetheart!

Our ladies only Mammoth weekend had lots of good food to make up for the lack of good snow.  At our last dinner (so much for sharing) we all wanted  different desserts.

 So-o-o- we got them and  ate them!

Last week some of the ladies decided to go on a girls only ski trip. We were excited because the snow at Mammoth has been so phenomenal. We got off work, left food for our families, well some of us did,  and gathered our snow gear together. By Wednesday morning people were dropping like flies. We ended up with just 4 ladies making the trek. Louise graciously drove us to her home in Mammoth Lakes and we crawled into bed with great anticipation for the two days of glorious skiing ahead.  Well you guessed it, the morning brought cloudy skies and blustery winds. We donned our warmest gear and hit the slopes anyway. We had a fun day, if  microdermabrasion from blowing ice, wind surfing on skis and moving through various forms of snow from sludge to slick marble are your ideas of fun. The food was good the company better and the mountain like a bipolar relative, the highest highs and the most terrifying lows. Steph was the only smart one. She stayed off the mountain!

This of course is the cutest baby girl in the world!

Check Out the New Barbeque!

Sunday we bribed Bryce and Sarah  to come up and try a delicious rotisserie chicken cooked on our new barbeque grill. Little did they know that we had no idea how to work the thing or how to begin to cook a chicken on it. Luckily it turned out okay and Bryce agreed to set up our new sound system anyway.

Preschool Pandemonium

Most of my time is spent planning and preparing for a short 3 hour encounter with people that look like this. Some days are delightful and others quite the opposite. I guess the best part is that it's always unpredictable. Today was a day to remember as our rainbow experiment turned into red food coloring covering me, the floor and the little friend who sneaked up under my arm. I've had better days!?!

Pretty Princesses

They look harmless don't they?

We have friendly dinosaurs in Preschool?!!

The wonder of life in the eyes of a child.
