Easter 2009

Easter Sunday was a blast. As tradition, we went over to Buddy's brothers house. They made an awesome lunch. Turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, croissants, etc. etc. We had a great time, as always. The boys played video games, and Kai and Alyssa played with her new Barbie house. Alyssa is such a girly girl. Towards the end of the afternoon, they had their Easter egg hunt. Aunt Wendy always has so many eggs to hide. As a matter of fact, I hardly buy candy for the kids baskets, because I know that the basket from Aunt Wendy will have enough to last them until Halloween at least.

The Easter Bunny did come to the Lopez house, and brought the usual pink basket for Kai, and the usual green basket for Nachito. Kai's had a lot of hair accesories, make-up and the Core Rhythms excercise videos. Don't ask, I have no idea why she wanted that, but she has been writing down the number from the infamercial for weeks. Nachito is always happy with video games. All in all, it was a great Easter and a great start to Spring. Next on the Calendar, Nachito's First Holly Communion and Alyssa's fourth birthday.

I have a little confession to make. I have a hard time letting other people do things. For instance, I feel the need to get the dyes ready for egg coloring. I can not for any reason let the "kids" do it. Kai is old enough already, but I am a control freak and I have to do it. When everything is ready, I want to color eggs too. Is that bad? I act like a kid, and if my egg is in a color, I don't want them to touch it or add another egg, until mine is ready. This year, I tried and finally my brain told me to stay busy with another project, and just let the kids do it. So, you will be happy to know, that Buddy lent me his Kitchen Aid mixer and I baked two pineapple upside down cakes. Yes, I baked!!! It's not quite cooking, but it happened in the kitchen which is a start. And not to toot my own horn or anything, but they actually turned out real good. And, while I baked, the kids were able to color eggs with little interference from me. I think that it was a good start, and maybe next year I will let Kai run the show. Dye and everything.

My kids had fun egg hunting this year too!! I think that is like the highlight!

Wow..I like how you lined your bowls up! Better than how I did it! LOL!

Oh..and thank you for your comment on my blog about the icky lice! I checked their hair again tonight, and still nothing, so I'm sooo relieved! But, I am thinking of getting my youngest daughters haircut tomorrow. It's really long!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would
