April...a busy month!




We had a lot of different things going on thru the month of April...

-Coloring Easter Eggs:
The kids and I colored easter eggs! It was really fun to do the different colors and put the different faces on them. The kids liked dipping each egg in all the colors so it would turn out to be puke brown! Abby really liked the paint that was raised...she put it on every egg.

-Caden's Baptism & Falk Family Party
We had Caden's baptism at their church located on 1000 west. Jared baptised him and Randy confirmed him. It was so special that he asked Randy to confirm him. Randy did such an amazing job and we could definately feel the spirit thru the baptism and the confirmation. It was the most special day for Caden! After the baptism we had a get together with the family and we also celebrated birthdays. We hadn't gotten together in 6 months or so. We gave presents to all the little kids! It was fun watching them open their gifts. Taylor was the greatest! She kept saying the funniest phrases. The Whites had gotten her a hello kitty something and she didn't like it because it was a "GIRL" thing. Well of course she told them right away that they should know she doesn't like anything "GIRLY"! It was hilarious. After the presents they played basketball and we ate dessert.

-EASTER
We had easter at mom and dad's. We woke up the next morning and the Easter Bunny had came. He brought randy and I some money, a bike for Abby, an IHOME for Caden and a bike for Hannah. They were so excited, especially Abby. She didn't know what do with her new bike she was so shocked.

-Florida
We went to Florida for about 5 days. It was so much fun. We went to SeaWorld and Randy went to Blizzard Beach while I was in meetings. I actually won the trip thru Best Buy. This was our second time coming on Best Buys dime. Best Buy paid for THE FRAY to come out and perform at the Hard Rock Cafe. Wow they were amazing. However, on a side note the lead singer doesn't move his lips when he sings and it really bugged me. If any of you know me I have to read lips because I can't hear most of the time. So it was super annoying but other than that it was great fun. We stayed at the Gaylord Palms resort...gorgeous. It was HUGE! Best Buy doesn't go cheap, that's for sure. I got the opportunity to do community service. We painted and rebuilt a school. This was in a very poor neighborhood, the gangs had trashed the school. The children were so close but yet very careful who they talked to. It was very sad because we were fixing their school but were very nervous to talk to us. We also built them a play area with swings and slides...before that they had nothing. The other best buy employees painted a map on the cement so the children could learn their states and capitals. It was a very big eye opening experience.

-Randy's Birthday
Randy turned 26 on April 30th! We celebrated his birthday at my parents house. The kids made him a very delicious dessert. He got Medal of Honor for the WII, a swimming outfit and some other clothes. As you can see in the swimming suit picture Randy likes to match everything from his shirt to his shoes...so my mom got him everything that matched. He really wears it...ha ha!
