Genius

This past week has been a real tough one for me. I find myself wanting to give up far more times than finding myself wanting to keep going. The other night I looked at what looked like a hard math equation. It's been over 3 years since I've taken a math class. My math skills have slowly diminished. They just aren't there anymore.

In fact, today at work I could not figure out what half of 90 was, (maybe its from the cold that's coming on) until the patient I was helping realized I was struggling adding her copay total up she chimed in and told me the answer. Then I figured it out.

Duh.

Anyway, as I was looking at this hard math equation I was getting so frustrated. I told Cason that I wasn't going to do my math anymore. I just wanted to fail the class and retake it. He came over and looked at the equation and said, "you just have to use the quadratic formula...

negative b plus minus the square root of b squared minus four a c."

WHAT???

Did you just really say that?

I was amazed!!! My husband is a pure genius! Not only was he right, but he helped change my attitude. I wanted to keep going, and I finally learned it. Husbands are the best aren't they??

Mine is! I mean look at him!!

Yep, that's my guy..

I guess that's how he knows how to surf. He never gave up!

Such a hunk of a man. I love him!...even more than I did yesterday.

Moral of the story...never give up!!

Ps. Brother in law Travis graduated today. Congratulations!

I'll get there....

someday.

Easter Sundee (better late than never)

We had a great Easter Sunday!

We went to church and then over to Cason's parents for a delicious meal and Easter egg hunt.

Our Easter outfits. Cason's good looking tie for a steal of a deal!

I made a Easter basket for Case. It was full of candy, a tie and some nuts for work.

He gave me some pretty Easter Lillies that smell oh so good!

Little Davey. I love this boy! He is my favorite, and I think I'm his favorite aunt!

The kiddos in their Easter outfits.

I wish he were mine!

Great easter, great food, great family...what more could you want?

Early Easter Suprise

I came home from work to find this on our doormat.

I waited until Cason got home, which was very hard for me to do!

My family will attest to this that I am the first one to open newly bought chips, cookies, cereal, etc.

I can't wait! I just want to try whatever it is, even if it's not good.

And we FINALLY got our wedding video. We have been waiting for almost a year now.

Our videographer gave us a rough draft, but not the final thing with the spiffy cover.

We got some yummy eggs. Which we've (well I) have probably eaten a whole two bags by myself.

There is something about these eggs.

I can't stop eating them. If there was chocolate cake in front of me,

I could have two bites and be done if I told myself to stop.

Not these eggs. I just pop one after the other in. They are killing me!

And this great movie! We loved it! Definitely a kids movie, but

it was hilarious!

Thanks mama and dad! We loved it! It was a great suprise, and we love mail! hint hint.

Happy Easter!

Still Here

We are still here doing the same old thing. Nothing new. Just work, Conference and a little play. This last weekend we went on a few walks...and took pictures. These are for my mom.

Easter must be just around the corner, because we saw a lot of these! (bunnies are everywhere in CA.)

Ps. Check out etsy on my sidebar. A few new items were added to the bunch.

WINNER

slumber party

last night, i had my nieces over for a little slumber party.

we painted fingernails and toenails.  

i painted mine pepto-bismol pink.

as i was painting them, one of the girls said, "woah!  you have big toes!"

i've been teased all my life for these babies!

(i know it's a gross picture, but i thought it was a funny story)

this little one loved the camera.

she kept asking me to "take another picture."

"take another picture.

i'll do funny face."

and we watched

"high school musical 3"

with popcorn.

classic movie.

thanks girls for such a fun night! i would've been lonely without you!

very clever
