M Lost a Tooth!

M lost another tooth this week. It's a top, front tooth. I think that in first grade, it must be a rite of passage to loose a tooth. M is so excited...now she talks with a lisp and can't say her "s"s...but as a mom, I must admit, I miss that cute baby tooth...

Spring Break at Six Flags!

We spent a couple of days at the Six Flags just a few hours away from home...the weather was beautiful and we had lots of fun!

The whale show was one of the favorite parts of the day...

M got to pet a porcupine!!

Easter!

We had the best Easter ever! Mom, Dad, and Joe came for a weekend visit. We went all over town, to Virginia City, and Lake Tahoe. Thanks for the great memories, Mom and Dad!

Decadent Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate is soooo good...it's similar to Williams Sonoma hot chocolate, if you've ever tried it...in Africa they would call it divine:

P.W.’s Homemade Chocolate Milk Mix for the Fridge
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Heat cream over medium-high heat until slightly boiling. Add chocolate pieces and turn off heat. Whisk slowly until chocolate is melted and mixture is very smooth. Pour into a container and keep in the fridge up to two weeks. Mix with cold or warm milk, depending on how frightful the weather outside is.Note: Mixture, after refrigerated, will be quite thick. Just stir well in cold milk and you’ll be fine.

Haircuts...

Sean thought it would be really funny to give himself and Brock goofy haircuts...Emma was disgusted! She was so worried that we would have "an ugly family!"

If you could hear the laughter at our house right now...
