blog business:

I made a list on the sidebar of birthdates & anniversaries. Let me know if I missed someone!

American Idol

Here is my breakdown of tonight:
1. Ramiele - terrible
2. Chikezie - not good
3. Christy Cook - not great but the song will keep her around.
4. Michael Johns - if he could keep singing Queen songs, he could win, but that won't happen.
5. Carly (Tattoo girl) - OK, until the very last note, which was horrible.
6. David Archuleta - Michelle and I are convinced he sang an EFY song, not my favorite, but he will be fine.
7. David Cook - absolute stud - my new favorite. That guy is fantastic.
8. Syesha - she was absolutely great, she is now the best girl in my opinion.
9. Brooke White - booooooooooooorrrrrring. And annoying. But she will stay.
10. Jason Castro - I couldn't hate this guy more unless his name was Sanjaya. But, America is stupid and won't send him home yet.

Bottom 3:
1. Ramiele
2. Christy Cook or Carly Smithson
3. Chikezie
Leaving - probably Chikeze. Although, I wouldn't care if any of those 4 left at this point.

FYI

Just posted Easter Sunday pictures on my blog... Can't wait to see yours too!

See's

Every year at Easter we would get a See's chocolate easter egg, with a creamy fudge center, sometimes with nuts. Today our home teacher brought over a box of See's candies and it had a couple of those in miniature size. I haven't had one in YEARS and it brought me back to Easter's growing up in Chatsworth. What are some of your Easter memories?

Easter Plans

The Easter Bunny comes to our house tonight! Yea! On Sunday we have 2 other families joining us for Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt for the kids. (It will be an indoor hunt since we still have some snow and even though it'll be sunny, it's supposed to only get to about 34*! brrr!) Our kids are so excited about the Easter egg hunt since one of the other families got us to all put money in some of the eggs instead of candy in all. They like candy but they LOVE cash!

What are your plans?

Dandy Diaper Service

Do any of you remember when Mom used to have the Dandy Diaper Service come bring diapers for Danny? If I recall correctly they were cloth diapers. What a nightmare that would be.

The reason I mention it is cause Mom made her first diaper cake tonight and it began as a bit of a nightmare. But as with everything Mom does, it turned out amazing! I wanted to show off her newest talent. She made it for a friend's baby shower. You are awesome Mom!
