Spring Is In The Air

She is growing up so fast and was so excited to be at church for Easter Sunday. When people said "Jesus has risen.", she was quick to respond, "He has risen INDEED!"

She couldn't leave Baby out of the picture because Baby would feel sad.

Mom was very excited to find shoes that matched the Easter dresses.

It is getting more and more challenging to capture family photos. There is a lot to be said for bribery!

10 on Tuesday

1. Tomorrow is Mike's birthday. I can't believe I will married to a 35 year old. It feels a little bit sleazy. (Sorry Babe!)

2. We are at the tail end of Birthday Week and that means I get to update my sweetie's wardrobe so that he doesn't look like a 35 year old.

3. We are feeling like we have just come through a battle with a sweet angel faced 2 year old. All of a sudden she started waking in the middle of the night and wanting someone with her. Then it started at naptimes. For anyone that knows me sleep is a BIG deal to me. If a book was written on it I have read it. Needless to say, I whipped out my Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and started some tough love.

4. I started Tough Love yesterday and we were back on track IMMEDIATELY. For all the angst I had of saving for therapy she learned really quick that she wasn't going to win.

5. Why didn't I start this two weeks ago?

6. I pondered signing Grace up for Pop-Warner cheerleading. Dad shut that down REALLY FAST!

7. In honor of the aforementioned birthday...we are going snowboarding tomorrow! Mike's dad is spending the night and Mike and I are spending the day together.

8. Does anyone else feel like everything is getting rushed this year? Daylight savings the second Sunday of March and Easter next Sunday. What is there to be excited about in April?

9. Beth Moore! I just remembered she is coming to San Diego. Yea!!!

10. OK...now that I went to write that on the calendar I realize that there is a lot to look forward to over the next three months. Actually...there is TOO much.

Mike's Full Circle Moment

This is a video from before ski school even started. She still is not so good at stopping, but look at her go on the skis! We still aren't sure if she is laughing or crying at the end, but we detect a smile so it must be OK.

For Those That Know Me Well

This was one of the best scenes of my life. Talk about a full-circle moment. I don't expect her to love softball. I would love for her to love softball, but that may not be her thing. Regardless, I can't believe that I have a little girl who is playing T-Ball!

And to answer the question that many have asked....No, I am not the coach and I won't be. I want to give her a shot at loving softball. I have a hard enough time standing behind the fence and watching seven little girls go running after a ground ball.
