Chase and Lauren helped me make Marcus's Birthday cake. Their favorite part was eating the leftover frosting.

Easter Sunday

Here are some pictures of Easter. Marcus was in Hawaii for work, so we went and had Easter with a couple of friends. The kids had so much fun, they wouldn't come in for dinner. Chase was so tired from playing, he fell asleep on the trampoline with the kids still bouncing. We had a fantastic Easter. I wasn't able to get a picture of Lauren and Chase in their Easter outfits, because we were late to church and Lauren was singing with the primary.

Preschool Easter Egg hunt

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.

Random pictures of christmas

Making Sugar cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

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.
