Lots of Deer

Today I was driving around taking a few pics for my class when I came across a herd of deer. They were in someone's front yard right next to the road. In the second picture you can see how close they were to the actual road.

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter today. The girls got up this morning & went through the baskets before I got up including Kody's basket. They didn't even put his plastic eggs back together, I was unhappy with them & not the way I wanted to start the day off. I got them all ready, hair curled etc. took some quick pictures before I had to make Strawberry Trifle & deviled eggs to take out to my parents. We ate dinner at their house as well as some friends of theirs. My mom had styrofoam bunnies to mark off each of the kids "areas" to hunt for their goodies. They had a good time & dinner was yummy!

Nevada Regional Science Fair

Yesterday Kelsi went to Reno for the Regional Science Fair, it took place at Lawlor Events Center. She caught the bus at her school at 9 am & spent the day with other kids from the local schools up at the fair then the school bought the kids Pizza. After she made it back home we went up there with her & my parents went as well to check out all the projects. We were not aware that McKena's class project also went up there. Her class won 1st place!

S.A.R.A. :o)

I'm the new SARA Asst. in the Carson City office! I applied for the job a few weeks back & interviewed this week. I got the job! I'm really excited about it! Its part time & the hours will work perfect for everyone. I'll still be able to volunteer in McKena's class as well as not have a conflicting schedule with the softball practices/games. The pay is great so it almost makes up for it only being part time. My job will be assisting the coodinator of the program as well as taking victims to the hospital for their exam, court proceedings, support groups etc. I think the hardest part of this job which I didn't think of before the interview till it was brought up by them.. is having 3 girls of my own when I have to take a young girl that has been raped to get an exam. That could be on the difficult side. They said they have about 30 rapes a year in Carson City area.. that did actually shock me. I didn't think it was that big of a problem. I think this will be an awarding job for me & perfect for my entrance back into the work world. :o) To those of you that knew I was hoping to land this job.. Thanks for all the thoughts & prayers!!
