Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter today! Celebrating the Risen Savior, pretty new dresses, Easter Bunny surprises, hunting eggs, and family fun... doesn't get much better than that!

She's driving ALONE!!

Kelsey started driving to school alone this week... she is very proud of herself and I am very proud of her too!! :)

Happy Birthday Jason!

We celebrated Jason's birthday last week and surprised him by doing it 2 days early. We had sushi waiting....





and then a gorgeous gormet cake made by 2 awesome little chefs.




Then, we completely surprised him with a basketball goal for the driveway. It was something he'd mentioned wanting once or twice, but he defintely didn't see it coming!! :)

A New Car!!

We have been looking for a good car for Jason that gets good gas mileage since he drives so far to work every day. Kelsey has been in a hurry for us to find him something too since he has been driving the car that was given to us for her. So.... here it is!!! He looked and looked and this was the perfect one... it's a 2008 Honda Civic with only 18,000 miles on it and a low price tag - EXACTLY what we were looking for!! It's not fancy, but we are proud of it! :)
