Easter Eggs!!!








Tonight we dyed Easter eggs. Taylor had fun watching the eggs turn colors. She kept thinking that a chicken was going to "hatch" out of them, especially when she would drop them and they would crack. She was very concerned about the chickens. It was fun to watch her. The video shows her worried about the baby chickens "hatching."

He still has it!!

Those of you who don't know my husband Zach has a God given talent of throwing the javelin. He had some days in college that he threw that people just wish they could come close to. He has many many awards and national wins. When we met he hurt his elbow and this hindered his throwing ability. He still would compete at meets and I loved watching him, but still wishing I was a part of his life when he felt like he was competing at his best. Well last week he took his team to a track and field meet in California. He decided to try to throw there and see what he could do just for fun. It has been a few years since he has actually tried to throw. So he went out there with no true training just pure ambition and threw 207 feet. Now for an almost 30 year old who hasn't thrown in years and has not trained either, this is wonderful!! He even came in first place!!! And if he was competing at Baker he would hold the school record. So this was an exciting day! Once again though I wish I could have seen it!! We are proud of you honey and I knew you still had it in you!!
