I just wanted to post this so if you knew him and hadn't heard, you are now in the "know" We appreciate everyones thoughts, concerns and prayers. We love him and will miss him, but we know that he is happy! :o)

Flowers are "happy"!

A few days after we moved into our new place I planted my amaryllis that I got for christmas. It has been fun to watch it grow...it would grow inches in a day...and on Easter morning it started to bloom. This is the end product. It is so pretty.
On of PG's favorite pass times it sitting on things! He doesn't care what it is as long as it is "higher" than the floor. I use the word higher loosely, since it could be a piece of paper sitting on the floor and he will walk over turn his bum to it, half bend over with his bum sticking out and then plop his little bum right on whatever it is. Recently he is into balls and truck (most boys are I know) so that is what he plops onto! He is pretty good at sitting on rolling objects. :o)


One cool thing about PG spending so much time at Aunt Manda's recently is all the things that he is picking up from his cousin. Ransom runs around saying "appy" for Happy all the time and the other day I noticed that PG learned to say it too!

a new do....

Maybe it is being pregnant, maybe it is boredom, maybe it is spring...maybe I just need a change? I don't really know why, but I was tired of the old and in need of the new. So I did it. I went and got my hair cut. It is shorter than usual, but I am really pleased with it. KJ LOVES it! Here are the pics...you can decide for yourself.right when I got home from the salon.

this morning after I did it myself! (I actually like it better this way!)

Easter fun and treats!

Easter is here....

The other night Dave was visiting from CO, and we dyed easter eggs...Last year was technically PG's first Easter but he was only a few months old so didn't really care. So, here is his "first" attempt at dying!
How 'bout orange!
Now for the face!
I don't think he knows what to think...but his egg looks great!
this is one of PG's Favorite places to hang out. It is a little shelf that just sits downstairs with nothing on it...it is probably better that way...he would just pull everything off and sit down anyway! :o)
I made a jello cheese cake yesterday...I let PG lick the spatula, He really enjoyed it.... I wonder where he gets it from?

No monkey-ing around!

So, Derek is turning 2 and the party is today. I got to make the cake. Mindy said he is into Curious George...this was my best attempt!
OK, so it doesn't really look like Curious George but I had to post it because I think it look AWESOME!! I have been soooo excited since I finished the head last night! Then today I added the bananas! Hee Hee! Cake decorating classes payed off I guess! :o)
