Back up and running....

Ash is the computer genius of the month since he fixed the computer all by himself after we contracted the worst. virus. ever.  Fingers crossed it doesn't mysteriously come back!  I was looking forward to that new laptop, though....hmmm....

Anyway, I was looking at my phone pictures the other day and thought they pretty well summed up what had been going on with us since I had a real, content-y blog....  So, here ya go, the last month brought to you courtesy of my iphone. :)

We took the kids to their first Jazz game.  Helena was a fan of the concession stand.  Harper, the little flying blimp.  We made it through the third quarter before meltdowns made us leave.

The Jazz played the Golden State Warriors....and that's blurry former KU player Brandon Rush. :)

Harper went through a 'sleep, eat, walk around with a band aid' phase.  He seriously would cuddle with a band aid.  At this writing I think we've nipped it in the bud and replaced it with a mini ladybug pillow pet.

Helena painted this wonderful rainbow butterfly.

Ash went to the Coachella music festival in California with his friend Mark.  I was jealous, but it was my own choice as I decided I'd rather die than take the kids camping at a hippie music festival.  He had fun. :)

I shopped for new flooring to replace our horrid mauve linoleum eyesore of a floor.  I'm hopeful the situation will be resolved soon.

Helena attended a birthday party wherein a creepy Rapunzel made an appearance.  (She's the one in blue on the left).

I went skiing.  Twice.  I love skiing.  I seriously can't think of anything I'd rather do most days.

And, a few days later....the kids and Ash were running through the sprinklers at our house when it was 88 degrees.  (Helena's face in this picture is hilarious!)

I had 2 book club 'meetings'.  My one book club is more of a drunk fest than the other.  Probably because it's always on a Friday night.  And I really liked this wine which is why I took a picture of it.  You know, for later.  Have we talked about book club?  I'm in two all of the sudden.  It's fun.  I'm keeping up with the reading which is a major accomplishment for me. :)  This month I read "The Weird Sisters" (OK) and "Bossypants" (by Tina Fey...good!)

Harper has also had hand, foot and mouth virus this week.  I'll spare you from those pictures.  It's like he has the chicken pox but is grumpier.  Poor kid slept for 14 hours last night.  Anyway, hopefully he's on the downhill slide!

Ta ta for now!  Next up....stale Easter pics! :)
