Happy Easter!! We enjoyed the Easter holiday this year, as every year. Big J's parents were in town and it coincided with Bri's 5th birthday! Within minutes of finding their Easter baskets with carrot-shaped bubble blowers the kids discovered baby A liked bubbles. Then within minutes baby A discovered she did NOT like them blown 2 inches from her face and promptly told me and the other two rascals so! Easter is so fun with kids!! We did the usual egg dying and hunting, making bunnies and candy devouring and reading Easter books that Easter is all about. But, we also remembered the reason we celebrate Easter, the resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. His acts of kindness and selflessness are examples to us all. Good can be done in the world, we just have to do it! 
B turns 5!!
Wow! Hard to imagine I have a 5-year-old! And she's sure a cutie! We reminisced about all the things she's learned in the last year: how to ride a bike without training wheels, climb straight up a 5-foot pole, swim underwater, go to Pre-k and make new friends, write her name not in all caps, draw people, eat well, be a big sister to a new little sister, something like 'copy' can be good or bad depending on peoples' intentions, learning new words in Russian, ASL, Chinese and Spanish as well as English (boy is she getting confused!), 7 new Articles of Faith, speak to a large group of people, beginning piano, beginning ballet and tap, a pan is still hot when it's fresh out of the oven (reocurring learning process apparently), beginning soccer skills, beginning reading skills, PBSkids.org, practice helps you get better and that life can be tough but faith in Christ can help. Our cute little B has quite a nack for helping others feel better and has such a sweet and thoughtful personality. She can also be quite stubborn and bothersome if she wants to be but we will always love her!! The side picture is at her school cupcake birthday celebration and this lower picture is her bowling party where she shot the winning score--93!! (with bumpers of course) Go Bri!

Hi PUMA! I was thinking two things as I was reading your blog, "I can't believe she has a five year old!" and "I sure do miss her!"
Your little girls is wicked smart! Good job mom and dad!
