Easter has come and gone. The Easter Bunny made a stop at our house. Grant got his beloved Buffalo that he so badly wanted for weeks and the movie Bolt. Lauren got an ICarly t-shirt and High School Musical Senior Year. They both got way too much candy that I am trying my hardest to stay out of. Recess Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite.

Dave and I will celebrate the big 10 year anniversary on April 17. Can't believe it has been that long. Wow, what we have seen in 10 years: Two children, one miscarriage, Surgery, Two moves, buried two friends, buried our friend's two babies, war, 9-11, First Black President, poor economy, unthinkable acts by crazy people (like killing children and such horror) Columbine massacure which happened when we were on our Honeymoon in Texas, Virginia Tech Massacure. My favorite thing of the past 10 years has been raising my two children and being a family of four. I love being Dave's wife and Lauren and Grant's mother and being so proud of them even when they make me crazy. I hope the next 10 years is blessed with the same joys of motherhood as I have right now and being a good wife to Dave. I also hope that we don't bury anymore friends or babies. Bring on the next 10!

So, last weekend was a mess. It started Friday with rain/ice/snow and ended sometime Saturday night. Sunday's weather wasn't too bad. The kids wanted to go outside and play. Being the good mom that I am I let them go out and play in the mud. Lauren was having fun knocking off the ice. While Grant played with his trucks in the mud. Grant wiped out in the mud getting all dirty. Then Lauren was running to see something and slipped on some ice falling on her butt and into some muddy water. She cried I laughed. I'm thinking to myself at the time that they shouldn't be playing in the mud but its just laundry anyway. Right? They are only going to be little once so I told myself it was OK.
