In No Particular Order...

Spring Break has been making me sooooo happy, for sooooo many reasons. Here are a few:

Token Easter Sunday picture: Here are the girls at church on Sunday,

dressed in some of Mimi's newest creations. My mom has had the same

sewing machine for 30 years, and finally, she broke down, and got a new

one. No joke, it's called the Project Runway machine, and it has re-inspired

my mom to sew again, and guess who benefits from that? Her only 4 grand-

children, of course. So far, she's made them 12 dresses. Thank you Tim

Gunn for bringing sewing back into fashion, and saving me a WHOLE lotta

money!

Here's Maylin & her friend, Ella at a little egg hunt we

had out here in Somis. They're 2 peas in a pod!
Wait, who's that in the middle? Cousin Abby from Washington?

Her family escaped to Cali for some sunshine during their spring break,

and we got to see them for dinner, on their way to Palm Springs! So fun,

Dan still thinks that oldest brother of his is the coolest. I don't think

younger siblings ever stop looking up to their older ones.

Morgan, looking funny.
Oh and speaking of siblings..... here's a rare photo op of my brother and I! I would like to say that he looks up to me, but when he and I were

brainstorming what to get our sister for her birthday, he was extremely

disdainful of my old lady taste. I think he actually thinks he's cooler than

I am.
Our trip to Visalia, March 30th for Mimi AND Papa's

birthday.... weird that we got presents for their birthday,

but I'm not complaining!
And last, but not least, here's the baby of the family, looking deceptively angelic. She's so cute, she's so fun, she so does not take our discipline seriously. It's like she knows we're not really that upset. She'll probably end up robbing banks some day, and when she demands that the teller give her all the money, she'll smile, and point to her dimples. Mothers

warn your sons, check the birth order of the person you're going to marry. If

they are the youngest in their family.... run, run for your life!
