Jason's Big Day

Jason's Birthday might be more exciting for me than for him these days. As we get older it's just not quite as fun. But for me, his birthday marks the start of the 5 1/2 months of him being really old, while I'm still a year younger. It's the little things that matter.
This year Jason said that he wanted to just have a yummy dinner at home. He definitely got that. I wrote about it on the other blog here. His treat was particularly fantastic and everyone really liked it.

The week after Easter 2014

A week after Easter (since we were sick on Easter) we got all dressed up and pretended it was Easter to take a family picture on our front steps as usual (see 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010).

I'm pretty sure these are the cutest kids ever. I'm also pretty sure that Andres is always going to be our non-smiler in most pictures. This is a good one, but usually he thinks it's hilarious to make silly faces.

The whole ding-dang family.

THE BOYS. Could there be a more handsome bunch? I propose there could not.

Addie of course wanted to take a girl picture. Aren't we so cute?

Trip to Santa Fe

On Easter Weekend, we went down to Santa Fe New Mexico to check out a practice there. The drive down was not bad at all, and we even had a super fun stop at the Garden of the Gods.

"Look, Mom! I'm a taco!"

Good job us for remembering to take pictures, right? Yah!
And then we got to Santa Fe and we took a total of 2 pictures:

Each of the kids took turns being sick while we were there. Sick with really high fevers and coughs. It was no fun. See that last picture? That was right before we left to go home and that's about how we all felt.
