Just Another Day at Gramsi's

I know, I've disappeared off the blogging grid. Here's a fun video from Gramsi. :) Dominic and Alex chasing each other with their new tunnel.

First Easter

It seems that we have not done a huge family Easter in years. When we were kids, the Jentzsch's and Rollins used to come down to Oregon (from Washington) and we always had the best time. I have missed that. I am glad that having babies around can bring back these fun times long overdue!

What we used to do: Like any event with the Ford's, Jentzsch's and Rollin's we have a knack for being crazy and having too much fun. We would decorate and dye a gzillion eggs and our parents added a ton of plastic-candy-money-filled eggs to the mix too. There was always a small hunt for the younger kids and then a more intense, harder hunt for the big kids. I mean seriously, our parents were cruel - hiding eggs in snake holes and way up in trees and in berry bushes.

After the egg hunts, we got to search for our baskets... all cleverly hidden by our parents in the woods. My parents have 9-acres so we always used one section of the property that was made into a motorcyle trail. It had a lot of dense brush and was hard to find even the brightest sunniest of baskets. Each kid's parents could help us with "hot/cold" hints. Easter had nothing to do with the candy. It was everything to do with the "hunts". I can't wait for Dominic and Alex .... and I'm sure more siblings and cousins of the next generation to add to the mix.

Missing Summer

I am so missing summer. Are you?

Fat Bottom'd Girls Make the Rock'n World Go 'round

I was browsing some pictures and just had to post this because it made me laugh so hard in my brain. Fat, Pregnant girls in bright solid colors! :) This was at my baby shower.

Fun Fact

Baby Shower - April 5th
Alex was born - April 7th
[Oh poor Robyn! She was such a trooper this day helping out!]

Dominic came around on the 26th (like 2 1/2 wks later). They had just put me on bed rest the day before. It was lame. Hardly anyone came to my shower supposedly because they thought something was horridly wrong, yet no one called or asked what was wrong. LOL Annnyway.. those who came were much appreciated.

... I just can't believe we were this fat almost a year ago. How time flies!

Backed Into A Corner

Dominic was yelling at the top of his lungs (not crying) so I went to check on him and he had somehow trapped himself.
