Easter

This year for Easter we were here in Denver. We had a great time! We had lunch with a bunch of friends from the Med school and the kids had an Easter Egg Hunt. We didn't think Elli would really care much, but she LOVED it. The excitement on her face was classic, wish I would have taken the video camera it was so cute. She had a great time playing with her eggs with her friend Zhar. We got a few cute pictures thanks to Jessica! I will post them now!

Visitors, and sick...

I can't believe that Spring Break is already almost over, it went by WAY too fast, probably because we spent most of it very very sick. :(

Tom's parents arrived Friday night and we just hung out. We went sight seeing on Saturday, however Saturday night, Tom's mom got sick. Tom ended up getting it on Monday (the night my sister got to Denver)...and he passed it on to me. It was not a friendly illness, but is any? No, not really, but it was BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily Elliana did not get it, which is a blessing, because I am sure she would have ended up in the hospital.

I feel totally awful, because Alexis was here, and I didn't even really get to see her or hang out, because I was so ill. She was just here, and well, babysitting! I hope she'll come back!

As of now, we're just getting ready for Gigi and Papa to come visit and are SO excited to have them come and join us!

Elli got a great and exciting toy for Easter, she got a little outdoor sand/water toy; she LOVES to play outside, and I think this will be perfect! I will post pictures by Monday for sure!

Elli is going to go through withdrawls, when Tom goes back to school...she loves her daddy and will be sad to have him gone all day, and then to not have family here, after having so many people around for weeks, I think she may have a rough time; but we'll take it as it comes!

Till the pictures....

Tomorrow

In less than 24 hours, a great thing will happen! I will finally have a husband back at home for more than a week! I can hardly stand to wait, it has been so long since I last saw Tom...I mean, yes I see him every day, for a few minutes here and there, but I don't really see him. And Sundays are always so busy with church, callings and naps of course!

I think tomorrow is going to be a long day waiting for Tom to finish with his tests...so everyone please pray for him!

Snow Day

This is not from today, but this is what I wish we were doing...instead Tom is studying! :(

Today is a snow day....today the roads are closed. Today, I will be stuck inside all day, when I really needed to go to the store to get some groceries for dinner. Instead we will have to have something else. Today, I will be taking a nap (well, I do that most days)...Today, I need to find a babysitter.

My thoughts today, turn to my Mother. I love my Mom with all my heart! I wish I was in Idaho Falls, to give her my support today...all days really, but especially today! I am feeling kind of homesick, wanting to see my family, and play games...not cook dinner, but call my Mom and ask whats for dinner and tell her I'll be over in 5. Luckily we will have family here for the next two weeks so that will be nice. We're going to do lots of fun things....

*Going to the Olympic Training Center

*Hopefully going to the Colorado Springs Zoo

*Going to Casa Bonita (supposedly a great restaraunt here)

*Going to the US Mint

*Going to Old Chicago
*Playing LOTS and LOTS of games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Friday, the day after tomorrow, Tom's parents will be here til Tuesday. Then on Monday night my little sister Alexis flies in to spend almost a week. We will have a 4 day break and then my Grandparents will be here for just over a week! I'm so excited!

I am addicted to the show Desperate Housewives....it's ridiculous really. I saw a friend on FaceBook say how good it was, and I decided I had LOTS of alone time, with Tom always studying that I would try it out. I have finished almost 4 seasons in less than a month! It's really crazy, but it's so good, and it gives me something to do. Which is good....

Anyways, I feel like I've gone on forever, so now I will go. Miss everyone tons! Hope to see everyone soon!

Mary Poppins

This past week, I went and saw Mary Poppins. I had a blast with these ladies! We went to dinner, the show and then got cheesecake afterwards! Thanks for a great time girls!

Peanut Butter

Yesterday, I was busy making dinner and Elli was getting in the way, we have a VERY small kitchen, so I decided to give her some celery and peanut butter. She finished it all, and LOVED it, but was a bit messy! At least she enjoyed it!
