Shlop Shlop Shloppy Joes
Bryson puts the sloppy into sloppy joes. Tonight we had sloppy joes and Bryson liked them so much that he even had to lick his plate. We just are having camera problems, (our new camera is in the shop and so we are using our old one, which reset on us, so we missed the cute picture of him licking his plate while we were resetting) but we did get the face afterwards, it was great!

We Did It!
Today was the last leg of the Triple Crown of running the Papa John's 10 Miler. Josh and I ran together while our dear friend Brandi watched the kids in the freezing weather. There was a horrible freezing breeze that we had to run against on the last 3-4 miles, which felt a little refreshing at times, but bone chilling at others, so I can't imagine how cold Brandi and the kids must have been. They were bundled up pretty good, Brandi had 5 layers on once we met up with them after the race.
So here are the pictures... Megan chilling waiting for us at the finish line. We had to run around the stadium to the finish line.
Josh & I running in to the finish, we finished in 1 hour 30 minutes and 9 seconds. Josh did great, he stayed with me the whole time even though I think he could have finished a lot sooner, but he stayed with me and helped me finish. I felt like I was going to drop at mile 9... and then it went up hill, it was awful, but Josh stayed with me and helped me get through the last hill. What a great husband I have!
Here we just finished and are walking to go stretch. We were the 1,816 & 1,817th to finish out of 5,870 people. The first place guy ran it in 49:55, WOW!
Here we are with the kids.
I am glad that it is over with and that we did it! I ran 3 races, with thousands of people, got 2 blisters and 1 ugly toe. And Josh ran 1 race and got 1 hurt foot. Today we are going to do a lot of relaxing and resting up our injuries. This might be my last race till after our next baby (no I am not announcing anything), I don't know, we will see if we will run another race soon.

Easter Fun
For Easter dinner we were invited to our friends house with a couple of other families and we had a delicious ham, roast & potato dinner & an Easter egg hunt. I don't think any of the kids really had more than a couple bites of roll & candy for dinner. It was a lot of fun, it was great company and the kids are all the same age and played very well together. Thanks Anderson's and Thurstons for a great Easter dinner!
We had a great weekend with Jacob, Julia, Loraya & Isaac. It was a lot of fun to see family and to spice up our weekend. I just wish that it was a little bit warmer so that we could have played outside a little more.
Thanks guys for driving out here to spend Easter with us, it was a blast!

The Easter bunny came to our house and left some goodies for the kids, so we had to take some pictures...
Kids in their Easter outfits, Grandma got this dress for Megan, which she almost ruined 2 weeks before, but luckily to lots of stain stick and washing it 2 times, it looks perfect.
It took us 4 stores to find this cute outfit for Bryson. Who would have thought that finding an outfit for Bryson would be so hard, but we did, and he looked handsome.

Easter Egg Hunt
On Saturday we took Megan to an Easter egg hunt at the park with her cousin Loraya who was in town visiting. We showed up a little late so they missed their race so they joined the 5-7 year olds. But they did get some eggs and were very excited.
Check out all the eggs on the grass. I kept calling it a race and then correcting myself to call it a hunt. Megan asked me why I kept calling it a race. I told her that she didn't really need to look for the eggs, she just needed to race to pick them up.
Us with the Easter Bunny! We even had the Easter Bunny come to our house on Easter. We were getting ready to leave to church when the doorbell rang and the kids start yelling "It's the Easter Bunny!" We were all like, "ya okay." Then I looked out and saw the Easter Bunny myself with a guy and his camera. So I opened the door and it was our neighbor with the Easter bunny giving candy to the kids... I don't have pictures of that, but it was cool, and very nice of our neighbor. But here we are with the Easter bunny in the park.
Jacob and Josh holding the baskets so that the kids could play on the playground. It was pretty cold again this year. The day before was in the 60's and then it went to the 40's with a brutal freezing wind. At least the kids had fun!

BUBBLES!!!
We have had a couple of warm days so we have been blowing bubbles. The kids had a lot of fun. I meant to post these awhile ago, but we had surprise visitors this weekend, Josh's brother Jacob, his wife Julia & their kids Loraya & Isaac. Which meant we had a fun eventful weekend.
Right before Jacob, Julia, Loraya & Isaac left we went out to blow bubbles.

Easter Traditions
Easter is just around the corner and I was wondering what your Easter traditions are religious and non-religious. I am always looking for something new to start with our family. The only thing I associate with Easter is playing BINGO with all my cousins, and gifts flying over my head. And since I am away from my family now, I am looking for some good traditions to start. So what are yours?

Green = Gross
So tonight for St. Patrick's Day I decided to dye our tomato soup green, and Megan who loves tomato soup, would not even try it. She was telling me that it was "nasty" before even trying it. So why is it kids don't like food that is green? Broccoli, green beans, peas, spinach, & lettuce. She never even ended up eating it, but I don't blame her since it does look like "Shrek's Special", I had to eat it right away to show her that it was good and so that I would eat it since it didn't look very appetizing. Happy St. Patrick's day!
