Catchin Up

April has been such a busy month and I really haven't done it justice. First Jason started traveling around for his consulting gig. It was great to have him back in the game and using all his customer service super powers. Jason really is a professional and did an amazing job. In fact a few days ago he got a fruit basket telling him so. With him traveling we have made the most of the weekends. Here are some pictures from Alex's birthday that I missed on the last post.Leroy and Alex are only 6 days apart so we always have their party together if we can help it. As usual it was crazy and fun. The boys had a sponge bob themed cake, we played pin the tail on the donkey and had a pinata. The biggest surprises were having Mimi and Pappy in town and Uncle James' mustache! This is what Mimi does best!

Then here are my late Easter pics of the fam. It was so fun to be dressed up for easter. Am I wrong? Is that not a tradition? I remember as kids having hats! Sadly I did not find a dress for me but at least I matched the theme. For Kat's hair I actually had her sleep in "rags" a la Little House on the Prarie, to get her hair to hold a curl. It lasted a long time. You just take a strip of cloth, roll the hair in it at tie the ends together. She was so excited. I think you can tell in her humble curtsy!
and the last notable note was that in all of Jason's travels he has been able to stop in and see loved ones.
In Utah he got to see his siblings and grandpa, but he also had a miracle. Some wonderful friends from our days in Russia were all gathered together at a restaurant the night Jason flew in. They called him as he was getting off the plane and he went straight there. It was an amazing night to see all these special people 10 years later! We know it wasn't a coincidence!
