Spring Break

Last week was Spring Break, so Micah, Jayden, and Jacklyn decided to go motorcycling in Moab with Grandpa. The kids had a lot of fun camping with the family, going to the hot tub, and just hanging out and having fun. Here are the pictures and you can see for yourself just how much fun they had. I hope everyone had a great Spring Break.

The Eyeclops

So the other day the kids were bored and wanted to pull a game out of the closet, so Micah was digging around and he discovered the Eyeclops that Micah's parents had gotten us for Christmas a few years ago. He decided to pull it out and play with it with the kids. If you don't know what it is the Eyeclops is basically a microscope in the shape of an eye that you can plug into your TV and can zoom in on stuff and look at things up close. Micah hooked it up to the TV and we started checking things out. We looked at all sorts of stuff and then we started zooming in on the carpet hoping to find a bug or something, but there were no bugs in the carpet. We were disappointed, but I was somewhat glad to know we didn't have critters lurking down there. Then Micah put the eyeclops on his hand and you could see sweat coming out of his sweat pores and then it would evaporate. It was pretty gross, but fascinating at the same time. So that has been the toy of week that the kids have been playing with and inspecting. Bye.

Happy Easter

Today as you all know was Easter. Jayden walked into the living room and thought the Easter Bunny hadn't come, but I told him the baskets were hidden and he would have to look around, and he said "ooohhh." Funny guy. The kids were so excited to wake up and get their Easter baskets. I will post some of the pictures tonight. Jayden was so excited to do an Easter egg hunt. He couldn't wait until we were all dressed to go outside. The weather was pretty nice; it was 55F. It was nice in the sun at least. We were going to get an Easter Egg Hunt going, but Micah and I started basking on the tramp, and the kids joined us for a little bit. Then Jayden and Jacklyn started taking their Easter eggs and placing them in the yard, and then going and picking them up, so we didn't do an official Easter Egg Hunt but it was still fun to go outside. I had Easter eggs and candy to do an egg hunt I just got lazy and we never got around to doing it. Maybe I will do an Easter Egg hunt with the kids tomorrow. We'll see how nice the weather is and if we're all in the mood. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter today!

Jennifer's Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. Micah and I were going to go out to lunch together because that's what we normally do for our birthdays. Then Micah realized he had the 10-7 shift, so he told me to just meet him at his work at 2:00 and we would go to Costa Vida (that place is good, everyone should try it). I told Micah that Jacklyn's bus comes home at 2:30, so he said just come at 3:00. Then I told him that I had to pick Jayden up from school at 3:15. At that point we just gave up; it was too crazy. Then when Micah woke up yesterday morning he was sick, and couldn't call in sick because he was the late guy. He would have to find someone to replace him. I ended up buying a pizza and pop and when Micah got home we had our dinner and just kicked back for the rest of the night. It was slow, but fun. I was going to post this yesterday but didn't have time, so I am wishing myself a Happy Birthday now. Thanks everyone for the gifts and wishes. Bye.
