The real deal!

Finally a Barbie that I can relate to!

The bad news...

I just wanted to let you all know that I lost the NCAA basketball bet. I went into the final game with a three point lead and then lost it to Steve! UGH! I had 7/8 of the elite 8 teams and 3/4 of the final four and then blam my #1 team lost out.

Now I am forced to go on a date with my husband-oh the horror! How am I ever going to get through this ordeal?

Just kidding baby-I love you-can't wait for date night. =)

Preview to Easter

Over the weekend we had a fun get-together with the Zabriskie's. We had a great time. I took some pictures of the egg hunt...

Lately Morgan has developed a strong attachment to Aunt Carol. Thanks Carol for being a stand-in grandma while Grandma Zabriskie stays busy in Heaven.

Occasionally my kids fight with each other-shocking I know. I think their biggest problem is that they are both so bossy (I was hoping they could avoid getting that gene from me...) Anyway there are moments when they give you amazing glimpses at how much they do love each other, I was lucky enough to catch this moment!
Morgan told me that she was taking care of her Koby. Awwww

"The talk"

Today Koby and I get to go to the maturation program. Now I haven't been to one of these since I was in 5Th grade-not that that was too long ago...(OK so I'm ancient-no need to rub it in!)but I don't remember much. Here's what I do remember-my mom came with me and I was highly embarrassed. Probably bright red the entire day! On the drive home my mom asked in her panic-laced voice, "Do you have any questions?" I answered in near panic-"No! No questions!" Maybe that is why I never got the sex talk from my parents.

Steve was going to go with Koby today but couldn't get off work so I get to go. We did have a deal-dad goes with the boys and mom goes with the girls-but it didn't work. Then later we are going to have "the talk" with Koby. It is hard for me to fathom that my baby is old enough for us to be discussing such adult topics.

It's kind of scary trying to figure out how much is enough information. Don't want to give him too much info...

Don't worry I am sure that we will all survive our little chat. Oh the joys of parenthood!

Easter

Yesterday I felt well enough to let the kids get out the Easter decor. For some reason I thought we had more stuff-basically all we have is a bunch of baskets and a million plastic eggs. So Morgan used her creativity and this is what we got-little trails of eggs everywhere.
Two weekends ago I got to visit my parents for the weekend and I made this Easter wreath-thanks to my mom for encouraging me to try-it wasn't too difficult.

Here are some other random pictures...
Morgan in the tub-check out all her hair!

Morgan and I (ignore my pale blotchy skin-remember I have the flu...

A poster child!

Well I am not sure if I should take this as a compliment or not but...I went to the doctor on Monday and was told that I was the poster child for influenza. Wow-lucky me! I have been sick for almost a week now and I still feel pretty miserable. But at the same time I can see how much I am loved. Listen to all the spoiling I have gotten over the past few days.

My sweet husband-On Sunday I don't think I even got out of bed until late afternoon-so Steve got the kids to church and even called in a neighbor to help give me a blessing. On Monday Steve stayed home from work to take care of me. I am sure I was great company since I slept 8-10 hours during the day. Steve added blankets during my shivering chills and heated rice bags, kept me hydrated and just kept things running smoothly at the same time trying to keep his distance so he wouldn't catch it!

Koby hasn't hardly argued with me at all-he must feel pretty bad for me.

Morgan is such a crack up. She has colored many pictures for me, taken my temperature (think I still have the scar to prove it!)and rubbed my back many many times. She has let me watch several Disney movies with her-she didn't even complain when I nodded off.

Thanks for taking care of me! Love you guys!
