Holy cow it's been a busy three weeks! First it was Joe's spring break then it was grandma meg's spring break and last week it was grandma meri's spring break.
For our Spring break Joe and I had some great plans to take the kids and go up to Portland for a few days. We were very excited!!! But it all came crashing down when the school district decided that all the teachers should take a pay cut because of budget issues. So we just stayed at home and hung out. That weekend we went to Washington to pick up Joe's niece and nephew to come and spend the week with us (it was their spring break). It was lost of fun to have them here with us.
Then my mom, my sister and her two girls came up to spend their spring break with us. We stayed in Salem because they have better shopping then our little old town. Pretty much our week was... shop, get lost, eat, play, shop, get lost, eat, go swimmin', and then a little sleep.
This was a funny picture...at the hotel they gave us chocolate cookies and Tyler put it down on the chair because it was falling apart and then continued to eat it.
We went to the Portland zoo and Travis' favorite thing was the zoo train, he is still talking about it.
We also went to the tulip festival and rode this train thinger they had. It was really bumpy and Travis screamed the whole time. I was the lucky one that got to ride with Tyler and he loved it!
They had these water pumps and then they had rain gutters that you can put rubber ducks in to have races. Travis got really into it...tongue and all.
After everyone went home we dyed eggs. Tyler tried to put all his eggs in one bowl and he decided that using his hands was easier then the dipper.
Our church is at 11:30 and yes we were late so a picture by the car is all we got. After a long week of staying up late the boys didn't wake up until 10 and they are my alarm clock. It was Tyler's first day in nursery!!!!! He did great and I did also.
The Easter bunny didn't come to our house until late afternoon.
I though that I put the easter stuff up high enough...I found out that I was wrong on monday morning.

Wow Mary your boys are so grown up! I love the picture of Travis with his tongue. Thats cute. Glad you guys are doing well!
Wow, you guys do some fun things. Love Travis with his tongue! Happy Belated Easter!
I'm very sorry about the pay cut. I bet you were looking forward to a vacation/trip. Looks like you had a great easter and your boys look so cute in their outfits.
Sorry I never answered you question about David's job hunt. Well... he is still looking. He is still working at Walmart in the cash office counting money for 8 hrs. We thought about going through a temp agency to atleast get experience, but it would be tricky with health insurance. I hope we don't get to the point where I would teach and David would stay home. Atleast he has a job... unlike other people. Yes, it is frustrating but we have heard much worse stories.
