Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to Everyone! (:    

We had a wonderful weekend as a family, and enjoyed the fact that our sweet teens - 

aren't too big for sugar cookies, dying eggs, egg hunts, and Easter baskets!

We did squeeze a track meet in last week, too.

Logan couldn't stop coughing and still did great!

Krystin was awesome too!

Kayla was there too!

 Black and Yellow (our school colors)

 Our track.

Our team doing the warm-up lap before meet.

Big team.

 I was 'working' this meet.

I was asked to help time the races.

4 hours - a bit nerve racking, but fun!

and I did have a great view of the races.

 All-in-all - a great meet.

One more dual this week,

then - League Prelims and Finals next week.

Krystin has already been selected to compete in 4 events!

(the boys team hasn't made choices yet)

We were so happy that Daddy could be there!

I did try to get a video, but apparently I can't cheer, run and video at the same time. 

Yah, it was kind of sad...

Back to Easter.

Todd bought me Easter roses! (: 

I love THEM!

 We all dyed eggs together.

We were tempted to dye Lily too, since she was so interested,

but decided against it!

 The Eater Bunny did in FACT come to our house,

and hid eggs!

Honey and Lily were on it - ready to help the kids find them!

 Oh, and the kids did get baskets!

 The kids had a fun time finding eggs!

In our house the bunny always writes their initials on the eggs and leaves them a note on how many to find, so Easter is always happy.

(when they were tiny the EB would leave them specific colors to find)

Per Todd's idea - we took the kids on a picnic.

at first it was a bit rainy, but we had umbrellas so were prepared.

 but, the clouds cleared and it was a beautiful afternoon.

My silly Monkey butts!

Our Easter was concluded with a late night trip to LAX.

This project Todd is on is always an adventure.

They don't actually issue him a ticket ahead of time (which un-nerves me).

The client is an airline, and would prefer to have him fly standby...

So, if there is a seat available, he gets it...

However, LAX is 55 miles from our house...

and...

They are the ONLY airline that flies direct from LAX to Hong Kong....

So, their flights are always PACKED and oversold!

We always leave the house not knowing if he will get on the flight, unnerving!

The upside - if a Business class seat is available - HE Gets it!

If you are unfamiliar with bus. class check this out here

So far, some how - he has been LUCKY each time, and flown business class!

Usually we get there and they say - Flight is oversold we will try and get you on the flight (lucky to be on economy even), and then magically the connecting flight to that flight doesn't make it, or like last night someone didn't check in on time and he gets business class!  Crazy.  He doesn't usually know though until 45 mins before the plane takes off (and still has to go through security and get to gate)...  So, I can't leave him there until I KNOW he is actually on the flight, makes it a bit crazy...

(and the flights leave at 1150pm and then at 135am)

We were home about 1am last night...

Another guy; that is on the project, was flying out of JFK couldn't get on 5 flights (over 30 hours at the airport) - all were full, and then finally just bought a ticket to get out to HK.   

Todd has been very lucky indeed.

So you know, this is supposed to be his last flight out there - end of this phase.

Oh the fun! (:

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend,

and excuse me if I am a little pouty for the next couple weeks, as my Todd is gone. :(
