Secret Families

This week is ward conference and we were given families to do fun things for all week. Our family was awesome and did nice things for all of us every day. This morning I was heading outside when I saw all the eggs on the lawn. The kids had a early Easter egg hunt. Every time we hear the doorbell the kids ran outside as fast as they could but we never caught them. We were completely surprised who our family ended up being.
We also had a family and we got busted the second day. The kids and I were in front of their house getting ready to drop the package off when they drove up. Katie was bummed but I told her they would still like their gifts even if they new who it was who gave them. It was fun to do nice things for others.

Katie's Party

Katie turns 7 on Monday and we had her party tonight. Her best friend Jackie and her family came over. After cake and presents we played cards while the kids hung out. Katie got a barbie, a fancy purse, a shirt, fleece, make up, and Goonies. I think she will like the movie. It was one of my favorite growing up. Today we went to see New Moon at the dollar theatre. My friend Kristen came with Katie, Mom and me. It is fun when your kids grow up and can do more fun things.
This last week we were all sick. Billy started, then Johnny and Ellie, them Katie and me and then Todd. I haven't been sick in such a long time and I was miserable. It was wonderful having Mom here to watch the kids and make meals. The weather had been in the 50's and it feels like spring. I hope it lasts as long as possible. Oh and Ellie finally fell down the stairs. She is OK though. I still felt awful.
