It's Been a While

Wow. I have not blogged for a while. Life I guess. So here's an update...

Food/Paleo:  We are doing great on our eating plan. It has been hard for Jaiden to give up some carbs, but he is getting used to it. We have one cheat meal a week-nothing too crazy. This week it will be Pho. My kids love that soup as do I.

St. Patrick's Day/Easter: The naughty little leprechauns visited our house last night. The girls were so excited when they woke up. It was pretty entertaining. We had chalk shamrocks on the walls, tp on my candlesticks, green toilet water, window clings on places other than windows (covering up faces on picture frames), gold chocolate coins hidden all downstairs, green jelly beans and fruit placed on furniture. We have never done anything for this holiday in the past, but Maddie's school does, so she is pretty into it. LOL.


The Leprechauns did crazy things to the kids' Easter drawings.


We sent out Easter invites for our Egg Hunt/Lunch and decorated the house today. I love Easter. My little brother and future wife are coming this year as well. We are excited to see their new 9 week old puppy.



Me: Nothing too exciting to report. Still working, been working out six days a week, eating super healthy and am dealing with an infected Bartholin gland for weeks now. Hoping I don't have to have surgery on it. Ugh.

Fundraising: Our next fundraiser will be at Gold Hill Nursery in Hillsboro on April 27th. They are not normally open to the public and will be having some awesome deals. We did our whole front yard for $60 last year. We are also in the process of putting together a silent auction for May. We have collected golf packages to Bend and other great things. I am hoping both will be successful and we will be done!

Kids:  The kids are getting excited for summer, as am I. Maddie and Jaiden get baptized May 4th. We have been going to church regularly which is nice. Maddie turns 8 in April and Jaiden 12 in June. My kids are getting old!!! Jaiden will be going to scout camp for a week as well. Maddie is getting ready for her big ballet performance the end of spring. Ash is Ash. She spends days with me and is now having two play dates a week without her siblings. She is so attached to Maddie that I made it a point to get her alone with some of her friends. I am enjoying her last year before she starts Kindergarten.

I feel like this is one of those Christmas letters people send out. LOL. ~S
