Family

At the beginning of the month a student came to the ASYMCA offering free pictures, who can pass that up? So here it is, our newest most up to date family portrait.
The only other news right now is that we are NOT moving! Don't ask how I feel about that if you don't want an ear full. When we figure out our housing situation and what ever else comes up in the next couple of months due to this I'll be sure to let you all know. Please pray I don't go mad. :D

The Living Desert

So I get this permission slip from J's ASYMCA teacher to go to The Living Desert. I'll be going to of course and think this would sort of neat to go to. Keep in mind I have no idea what The Living Desert is! So the day before I figure I should find the address and directions in case I lose the people I plan on following and that's when I finally figured out that it's a zoo. The following pictures are of our trip down to Palm Springs and the zoo. J had a blast (especially when he saw the huge train set up) and O did too, as much as she could from the stroller.

Visiting and Shaking.

My parents came for a visit this past Easter weekend. J has adopted "mama and papa" for Grandma and Grandpa, very cute. While they were down we did some shopping, golfing, shooting, and just hanging out. It was a wonderful visit that wasn't filled with too much and yet enough that we had a great time.

J colored some eggs on Sunday (with Mommy's help) and I think he really enjoyed it too.
On the 3rd we went down to the Palm Springs and went up the two mile long Aerial Tramway. If you are scared of heights in the least this is NOT for you! What a view! This picture is from the bottom station looking up the cable line.
Grandpa and Grandma playing with the grand kids.

Sunday afternoon E grilled some hamburgers for lunch and we were able to sit out side and enjoy them. It's gotten so windy in the last few days though you would blow away!

J loves bubbles, it is the greatest thing right now to him.

On Easter Sunday after church and lunch while the kids napped we were sitting around enjoying a quiet afternoon when I thought I was having a dizzy spell. When it didn't pass right a way I looked over at my Mom and ask her if she felt it too. She did! EARTHQUAKE! My first! It was centered in Mexico, a 7.2. We didn't feel it too much but it shook the house for a few seconds. The lights were swaying and the rocking chair was rocking. Very strange feeling indeed! It was sort of like standing on a suspension bridge when someone was shaking it back and forth, it really made me dizzy. My Dad thought at first the dishwasher was banging the wall behind him, the dishwasher is on a totally different wall! If I had to experience it, I'm glad it was as small as it was and I don't want to experience it again thank you very much, we can move now...
