Day 110

For Easter Sunday, April 20th...

I was so bad this year.  I didn't take any photos of the kids on Easter.  We were missing Jackson; he was still at the beach with MiMi, and I just didn't have the strength to get my camera out.  I was still on west coast time.

Here is a shot I posted on Instagram of our blooming dogwood tree. It is beautiful right now, and I love the story of the dogwood tree and the cross.

Day 109

For Saturday, April 19th

Today we traveled home.  It was very tiring.  We basically collapsed when we got home.  This is a picture I snapped of the suite we were in just before we left.

It was pretty amazing.

Today we had another pool day although it was mostly cloudy.

Tonight we took a cab to MGM and had dinner.  Then we walked across the way to New York New York and went to a dueling piano bar. It was so much fun!

This morning, JC and I woke up around 6am PST.  We headed down for some coffee at our favorite cafe in the Bellagio and then walked around the Conservatory.

We had another pool day, and then we all went to Tao for dinner. It was delicious!  Check out this big fortune cookie dessert we got to share!!!

Day 106

we flew to Las Vegas today to celebrate my 40th birthday!  We checked in and headed straight for the pool for a couple of hours.

This is the view from our suite!

Not too bad!!!

Day 105

40 and still counting...

Day 104

Today is my birthday eve!!!  We spent the night at the ball field for one of B's middle school games. Tonight is the first time that he has ever played on a high school field. 

I completely forgot my camera tonight and I was planning on taking real photos of the occasion! 

Day 103

Another photo of Emma and Jackson at the Spartan Kids race.  I love how Jack is holding Emma's hand here.  I wish Jack was also in focus.

Day 102

Today was beautiful! We cleaned the house and then I arranged all of the planters for the spring and summer. We stayed outside most of the day. 

Day 101

Friday finally…mostly sunny and highs in the upper 70s.  I will take this weather any day!!!

This morning started with JC taking Jackson to All Pro Dads at school!  This occurs once a month, and Jackson only has one or two more EVER!

AT 9:45, Dr. JC and I went to Emma's school for career day.  JC dressed up as himself while I got to dress up as Tuffy the Tooth!

After entertaining the kids, JC and I went to shop for the Easter Bunny and had lunch.  We ended the afternoon with a trip to Lowes to by annuals for my pots.

When Emma got home, I took her to get a pedicure.  She is now hooked and pouted the whole way home that we didn't also get manicures!

Tonight Jackson had a game in Greensboro.  On the way, Emma was finishing up her very FIRST CHAPTER BOOK, but apparently she was fearful that we were all contagious in the car.

And here is a DSLR photo…
