Photographer I am not...

Like I said yesterday I pretty much sucked it up with taking photos this weekend. I had every intention of getting a photo of us and our friends Dawn and Dyson at PF Changs on Friday night, I blame the cosmos on that one. And when I say cosmos I don't mean universe, not that you were thinking that, right? I actually tried their crispy green beans (Dawn's suggestion) and you know what I guarantee I ate a full serving of veggies. Probably not the healthiest way, but by far the most delicious way.

Sunday I really sucked it up in the photo department. Pretty much every year we get a photo of Scott holding both of the kids and somehow that did not happen this year. We'll have to take it this week. Anywho, Sunday morning at mass they were honoring the youngest and oldest fathers in our parish. Scott was contacted on Friday and told that he was in fact the youngest father. Normally this would be strange, but when your parish is 80% retired folks, it's not that hard to believe. When we got to church we were informed there was someone who came in at the last minute and was 8 years younger than Scott, so he wouldn't be the youngest father. Scott (and I) were pretty bummed, but amazingly they still honored him because they said they would on Friday. How great right? Funny part of the whole story is when Father called everyone up he referred to Scott as Jesus Christ, as in "Jesus Christ come up here, yes you Jesus". Scott and Father like to tease each other, in case you couldn't tell.


Sunday afternoon we went up to Mimi and Paw Paw's with every hope of swimming but the clouds rolled in and we just knew if we got everyone all set to go in the pool it would start raining. That was a battle I didn't want to fight, let's be honest. Our friends Jon and Courtney also came by with their 12 day old little girl Caitlyn. She was so cute, and so good! I am jealous of her luscious locks though, she has more hair on her head than Jill had when she was a year and a half, no joke. Her super cuteness is why I think I didn't take any photos, I was distracted. Ha ha!

Keep an eye on my review blog this week, lots coming your way!

Happ Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!
Yesterday was a full day for us! We went to T-Rex for lunch with my Dad and it was packed! But we did manage to get there before the bulk of the crowd did, so we lucked out. I also got to finally eat a burger (I gave up beef/red meat for Lent) and honestly.... I could easily go another 40 days without it. Here are some photos and video from the day...
Last night we went to the Easter Vigil mass because Scott was completing the R.C.I.A process and becoming a full member of the Catholic Church (thank you again Lani for babysitting!). I have never been to the Easter Vigil before, all I knew was that it was a long service. The first portion of it is in the dark and we all hold candles, then the Father Jean baptized 6 candidates and then confirmed and gave Holy Communion to 4 candidates. It was a beautiful service and I am so proud of Scott and could not be happier! I am very glad that he is apart of the same Church as myself and the kids! Here are some photos from the service...

This morning we did Easter baskets with the kids, I wish I had more photos to show you, but apparently my underwear decided to make an appearance in 90% of the photos...yay memories! But here are the G rated photos...

Today I'm making dinner for everyone and we're just going to relax I think. No big plans that I know of! Hope everyone has a very happy and very blessed Easter!
