HAPPY EASTER!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter. We enjoyed having Mike's mom and sisters over, and even had a little easter egg hunt in the front yard (Gabriel didn't understand why he had to give 4 year old Jackson a 'head start')
We were enjoying some post-egg-hunt relaxing and visiting when everything started to shake, rattle, and roll - LITERALLY. 7.2 quake centered near Mexicali, probably 80 or 100 miles away from us (felt like a 4.0 here, but lasted for a full minute, maybe longer?)
So, it was an egg-citing Easter!

catching up (sort of)

OK I can't believe I haven't posted on this blog in a whole YEAR! So, lets see, quick updates - lost my Preschool Director job in April 2009, went to The Price Is Right at least a dozen times (still haven't gotten onstage). Got pregnant with baby #4 the same week that Mike got his orders for Afghanistan, so the job search thing is more of a side thing for awhile. Kids are growing like weeds! Erinn (19) still won't talk to me, Chad(15) is now taller than everyone else in the family, and Gabriel(10) is turning into a real basketball star.
I'm probably not going to post as much on this page for now, but a friend suggested I create separate blogs, one to talk about pregnancy and one about deployment - look for links to them on my profile, and feel free to follow any that interest you!
