Enjoying the sun!!

Two weeks ago it was beautiful here in WA. Sunny, blue sky, and above 60 degree's!! We have been truly blessed with wonderful neighbors who have little kids and who love to play outside. So, knowing it was going to be around 70 degrees on Friday we all planned a coul-de-sac pizza party. We pulled out the little wading pools, water toys, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, bikes, trikes, and every other fun outside toy you can think of. Then we ordered a whole bunch of pizza which was a wonderful compliment to the yummy side dishes everyone contributed. It was so much fun! Sorry I don't have better pictures, but I was totally distracted having fun and forgot about taking photos.

Something I don't want to forget about this day: The kids were all playing and I was chatting with another mom when I hear someone say "uh oh, Jenni look at your little guy". I turn around to see Jackson running down the side walk without anything on!! ALL the kids were chasing him laughing hysterically. Later when I asked him why he took his swimming trunks off he said he wanted shorts that weren't scratchy. So funny :)

Fun Hair

Going to get my hair done is something I love to do. Unfortunately I only set aside time (and money) to do it about two times a year. A couple of weekends ago I finally went and had my hair done. I made an evening appointment and Dewy stayed home to feed the boys and put them to bed. It was so much fun! I went darker with the color, which is something I have never done before. Also the stylist was kind enough to take the extra time and straighten my hair. I've only had my hair straight once before. It's so much fun to comb my hair and run my fingers through it!! Dewy loves the color, but he kept asking me when it was going to be curly again :)

Easter 2009

Easter was one busy day for our family this year. Our church helps sponsor and run the city Easter Egg Hunt (the Eggstravaganza). So Dewy and Jackson left the house at 8:00 to go help set up and hide the eggs. Cohen and I joined them around 10:00. Jackson was already having a blast on the jump house. Following the jump house we waited in line for Jackson to get his face painted. The face painting was followed by both the 1-2 year old egg hunt and the 3-4 year old hunt. Cohen collected one egg and had a blast putting it in his basket and then throwing it out! Jackson got 5 eggs, he hasn't figured out the more you get the better. He just wanted to open each egg and get the candy out! After that Jackson insisted on waiting in the LONG line to get a balloon. We waited about 30 mintes, got two people to the balloon man, and the balloon man quit for the day. Jackson was so bored by that time that he didn't even seem to care, so it's all good.

After all that fun we went to church (which meets at a local high school) and set up for Sundays service. We made it home that afternoon around 2:55 and everyone crashed. I woke Jackson up around 3:55 so we could make it to the neighborhood egg hunt which started at 4:00! There he collected about 6 eggs, three of which he shared with a little girl who was late and didn't get any.

It was a busy day, but so much fun!
