Preschool Easter Egg hunt

Lauren and her friend Mariah

Lauren's preschool had an easter egg hunt at the park. The eggs were thrown on the grass and each kid was allowed to find 12 eggs. It was fun to watch Lauren and Chase fight for eggs. Chase actually took some eggs from other kids baskets. Here are some pictures of the activity. ( I didn't post the picture of Chase sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap. He was screaming and it was a really sad picture.)

Quick trip to Merced

We made a quick trip to Merced. We hadn't been there for months, so it was really good to see some of our old friends. I was also able to say goodbye to my friend Hilary (she moved to texas). Lauren and Chase loved to play with their friends and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Happy Nine Years!

We had our nine year anniversary on Febuary 12th. I can't believe that it has been that long. We went out to dinner, but ended up leaving early because I got sick. I'll make it up to him next year. These past nine years have been so much fun. I couldn't imagine my life without Marcus. Thanks babe for nine fabulous years.

We had an awesome Christmas this year. Marcus's family came out and stayed with us for a couple of days. It was so much fun. Lauren and Chase loved playing with their cousins. It was so sad when everyone left, because the house was so quiet.

Christmas program

Lauren's preschool put on a tiny program. They sang christmas songs, and rang their little jingle bells. It was really cute. Santa then came down the stairs and gave them all gifts. Santa even brought Chase a gift.

Christmas Dance Recital

Lauren was only suppossed to be in two dances, but somehow danced in every in every dance. She loves to perform, and we love watching her.

My first sewing project!

I decided to make my own stockings this year. Not bad for my first time sewing. My friend Kate helped me. I was at her house every day for almost two weeks. I would go over in the morning and stay until it was time for dinner. It was so much fun hanging out all day. Thanks Kate!
