splish, splash.....

Friday night is family swim and the University and because I am a student, the kids and I get to swim for free! We all know that there is no better price than free so the kids and I go swimming on Fridays.

My kids really love being in the water and it is a GREAT way to burn some extra energy! The kids think it is pretty cool that their Aunt Jean used to be a life guard at this very pool!

Tonight we were the only ones in the pool for awhile. It was really nice.

As you can see from the expression on Bizzy's face, it's always hard to leave.

Random Pictures and an update

Here are some pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes. All of my kids a "cheese balls" so to get a serious picture of them is next to impossible.

Alex....showin' how cool he is!

and what can ya say...this is Bizzy. Things are in full swing at our house. Bizzy is still in dance, Alex and Andrea are taking piano and all three have started soccer. Finals week is next week for me and then I will start summer classes immediately. We are LOVING the weather and can't wait to go camping again. The kids are "training" for the wildcat run in May so we are going to the track 2 or 3 times a week and running a mile. Hopefully I can get some good action shots at the kids games and post them soon.

Easter

Easter came quick this year so I wasn't very well prepared. We dyed our eggs Saturday afternoon and the kids really enjoyed that.

Easter morning the kids had a great time looking for eggs and finding baskets.

Instead of a basket this year Alex got a backpack from the Easter bunny and some "bunny-money"

This is our traditional Eater bunny cake. My mom made this cake when I was growing up and now my kids and I make it. The girls don't like to eat it because it has "rice" on it but everyone else really enjoys it. We had a really nice Easter dinner with some good friends and enjoyed a quiet day.

YUM!

My grandma made the very best homemade tortillas in the world. For years I have wanted to get the recipe from one of my Tia's but just haven't. A few weeks ago Jaime and I were talking about recipes and SHE had grandmas tortilla recipe. I decided to give it a try this morning and they turned out GREAT! It's a lot of work to roll them out and get them thin enough but they were worth it! I put peanut butter and jelly on them for my kids(which is the way I ate them when I was growing up) and they really liked them!
