Easter

When my sister suggested we decorate eggs with the kids the weekend before Easter, I thought she was crazy. Cooper has a short attention span and gets frustrated really easy. Have I

mentioned he is in the terrible twos already? I finally gave in and I am glad I did. We decided to just use crayons and stickers and Cooper did really great! Here are the five eggs he decorated:

We alternate Easter and Thanksgiving with our families and this year was Easter with my family. Unfortunately we didn't get to make the trip to Wisconsin with the Peterson's, but we did celebrate Easter with the Peterson's the following weekend. We had Easter brunch at my parents house, as always it was fun to watch the kids play in their dress clothes. Cooper was standing on Kaylin's ride on toy and fell and split his lip about an hour after we got him into his dress clothes. Thankfully Adrian was able to take some pictures of Cooper before he fell. Here is my favorite picture:

And he was able to catch a good pitcute of both Cooper and I, which is really hard to do:

Of course I couldn't end this post without adding a picture of a beautiful little girl in a beautiful dress:

Breast Cancer 3 day

Kim, a good friend of mine has bravely signed up to do the Breast Cancer three day this August. This is no small undertaking, she will walk 60 miles in three days and camp out each night. If you knew her the camping part would be the hardest part. Anyway she doing this to honor her mother who currently fighting breast cancer. When signing up for this incredible walk you also agree to raise (or pay) $2,400.00! This is where you can help. If you would like to help Kim reach her goal and help find a cure for breast cancer please click on this link: http://www.the3day.org/goto/Kim.S.Williams

Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why she is walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.

Breast Cancer Facts:

* There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today.
*Early detection and effective treatment for breast cancer have been shown to improve survival.
* Men can develop breast cancer too.
