Easter

We had a great Easter this year. It was so fun that Nina was old enough to understand some of the elements of Easter. We were lucky enough to have family come up to celebrate with us. Tom and Mayer came up to spend the weekend with us and Grandpa Larry and Grandma Beth came up on Easter Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa made sure to bring up a new Build-a-Bear for Nina. Here she is loving her new bunny.
This is funny (or not so funny) for those of you in the car ride from Los Osos to Castaic after Grandpa Lemmon's funeral. These "mini-shorts" kept us entertained the entire trip. Nina has taken a liking to them and was trying them on for size.
Once Nina figured out the whole Easter egg concept she had a good time looking for them.
She could count on Grandpa to open up the eggs and get the candy out.
Nina and I braved coloring eggs this year. She actually enjoyed it somewhat and looked like a little dyed egg herself. In this picture she is reaching on in to get her egg out.
This is Nina in one of her little Easter dresses posing before church.

A good ol' weekend with friends

Last weekend our friends, Mike and Ashley Fisher, came for a visit after their trip to Arizona. We had such a good time with them and feel so lucky to have such great friends. Some of the things we did:

• went to Six Flags Magic Mountain (we all felt like we were getting older because our tolerance for all those rides was not as good as it used to be)
• golfing (Tyson and Mike)
• bowling (this seems to be a common trend for us)
• good food and good times

Thanks so much for coming to visit and for being such great guests and friends!
