Easter & Laser Cops

Drew's nephew Ben turned 5 and his cake request was certainly a unique one. He wanted the Matterhorn ride from Disneyland with the abominable snowman and laser cops. This is what he got:

We had fun on spring break. I took the girls to the zoo with my friend Cindy and her kids. It was a great way to start off the week. We also rented movies, played outside, built a blanket fort, and made a craft with cousins.
Wasn't Easter beautiful this year? I was so glad that we finally got a warm day for Easter egg hunting. It seems like the last several years have been freezing cold and kind of miserable. I made the girls matching skirts this year. I was thinking about making shirts but decided it would not be worth all the time and so they each just wore a button-up white shirt they already had. The outfits were made complete by "A Little Princess" style enormous green bow. Perfect!

(Okay, so a bow this size makes Brooke look a little like Aunt Jemima!)

Drew is doing great at work. He really likes his job and I think he must if he's willing to get up at 5 AM every day! We appreciate all he does for us!

As for me, here's the scoop....

Keep an eye out for the next post...Brooke's gonna turn 1! For those of you on FB you already got a sneak peak of her pictures. Think lots of pink balloons and one super cute baby!
