Happy Easter!!!

Alright everyone, this is Casey again. I promise I won't make a habit of this but I have some pictures I know you want to see. I took the girls to an Easter egg hunt today with our friends Derek, Rosa, Quentin, Maddy, Andrea, Javier, Diego, and Lucas. We had so much fun, though it was really cold out. Enjoy the pictures!!!
Here's Ella and Hadley pre-hunt with their matching (yes matching) rain coats.Hadley had fun getting the eggs. I'm not sure if she really understood what was happening until it was over and we opened the eggs. Then she was all about the CANDY!!!
As you can see, she was very excited!!!
Ella, Quentin, and Diego scheming about the best ways to get to the eggs. You didn't have to prompt these three - they knew what to do!!!

As you can see, Ella and Diego knew exactly what to do. They did awesome!!!
Right before we left, we noticed the Easter Bunny and had to get pics. Yesterday Ella told us how scared of the Easter Bunny she was but when Diego walked right up to him, Ella followed along. As you can see, Javier had to prod Quentin a little to get in the picture..."He's tall" Quentin said afterwards in awe.

Spring Break Update

Hey friends,
This is Casey typing up this update. We just got done with Spring Break a couple weeks ago and did some spring cleaning/painting in our house. By the way, if anyone needs paint - DON'T BUY IT!!! We could run a Sherwin Williams out of our garage with all the paint we have!!! Here's some pictures of the changes we made. Janelle chose a grayish color to use in the kitchen/dining room/living room area that we really liked. The red to the right of the picture is a darker red than we had previously. That red now covers the wall where our fireplace is too.
As you can see - gray and red throughout the dining room/kitchen. It really does look nice!
We took the gray from the kitchen and ran it around the living room about 36 inches up as you can see. We will eventually put a chair rail where the two colors meet.
Our next job was the office. We got rid of the giant L-shaped desk since Janelle doesn't need it anymore for work and traded a friend for a much smaller desk. This opened the space up immensely! So we rearranged and painted one entire wall stripes. If you want to know some of the colors we have in our garage - look at this picture. We made the stripes with leftover paint from all of our other projects!
As far as the girls go, they are doing great. Hadley got her cast off last week so this is a pic before she got it off. Ella is as fun as ever. Getting bigger by the minute it seems.
Janelle is enjoying a girl's weekend right now and is off having fun with her friends Andrea, Bert, and Angie somewhere in the Boise/Nampa area. I have bail money ready just in case!
I've been conducting my research for my 2nd Masters and will be finished with the research part of it in the next couple of weeks. I'm testing whether or not a virtual dissection program allows students to learn as much as an actual dissection does. So I have a program and real dissections going on. I'd attach some pictures but I'm sure you aren't interested!
