First up Matt, the CPA, who was lucky enough to be born DURING tax season. It's awesome - makes for a great birthday (please disregard the heavy sarcasm...I'm sure it will go away after April 17th - and no that's not a typo - just lucky enough to have 2 extra days added on to the tax deadline this year). **Given my current mood and stress level I should probably stop typing right now ~ but no...pressing on**

| I was so proud of this gift - after 14 years I finally boxed up his shapka from his mission in Belarus (get it? "bela"Russia he...he..) |
 |
| We managed to race down to a spring training game - first time he has ever gone to one - it was fun and the field/facilities are awesome (especially the kettle cooked chili cheese chips :) |
 |
| I have no idea what this is other than it will be priceless in a few years... |
 |
| We went to the zoo and got sunburned over spring break |
 |
| I entered my first ever bike ride/duathalon (encouraged by the man on the right who I call "Dan Dan the Crossfit Man". He's one gnarly bike rider - he had finished the entire race (1.5m run/8.2 bike/2.5m run) somewhere in the middle of my bike ride! Yes. He won. Yes I was a wreck the week before - asking myself why I felt possessed to do something so dumb when I had only bought a bike one month prior - and had only ridden that bike a few times before the race. It was similar to childbirth - the beforehand was crazy but the after was awesome. I achieved my 2 goals for the race: 1) not to crash and 2) not to have to walk my bike up heartbreak hill. So Saturday we went from this weather... |
 |
| TO THIS! Seriously - Prescott is awesome...shorts and sunburn to snow and snow day (the first day back from spring break) |
 |
| Ella doesn't really care for the snow - and her wardrobe choices...who dresses this kid? |
 |
| Ahhhh my little rascal |
 |
| I think Tatum is having to much fun...do you think she's enjoying her role as torture chamber operator? |
 |
| Ride is over. |
 |
| Tricked ya. |
 |
| Thank heavens for Lynn and her desire to sit at the top of the hill and watch the mayhem that ensued. |
 |
| Jacob wins for best facial expressions and wipeouts |
 |
| I loved it when the sun came out - the color is awesome - this is the best time to have a camera! |
 |
| Did I mention that our sled hill rode right into a sludge pond? The kids had to be careful to stop BEFORE they hit the sludge... |
 |
| Because that is a sledding trip ENDER. |
 |
| After 85 days of having their room signed off - the boys are getting it re-done...stay tuned. |

Other than the adorable grandchildren, my only comment is - how did the quilt I made for Jon end up wrapped around your friend??
Thanks for the reminder of the 2 extra days! Ugh. First trimester and tax season has been a bad combo.
Lynda-HA! that made me laugh - it was a pretty good photo of the famed blanket :) I think we wrapped a kid up in it leaving Jon's house one time and have refused to return it-we love it too much...but that's mean and I will bequeath it to Jon's first born grandchild :)
Brooke..I'm so sorry..having all kids born in June meant I never had to do tax season AND first trimester - you'll be happy to know that this too shall pass :)
I am copying your clean room sign off system, and the list of elements of a clean room. GENIUS.
