I am a Life Path 4........who knew?!

So since Easter I have absolutely nothing to write about. To make that even worse for the last week I have been really sick. I finally went to the doctor Friday and after giving him 4 vials of blood (I was already weak enough, but hey, lets take some blood). He ran the gambit on tests, I am great, everything came back okie dokie. I just have a sinus, bladder, and lung infection (not yet pneumonia) so after 4 days on antibiotics I am feeling much more like my old self.

So I didn't go into work on Friday, I was going to go after my doctor's appointment but when I got done at the Doctor's office I just wanted to fill my prescription and go home.

While I was home Friday I was messing around on FB and went into the life path app. This is what I found out about myself (big surprise). But I thought it would make this blog a little more interesting.

Life Path Number 4: The Pillar

Those with a Life Path Number 4 are the earth on which everything good is built. You are probably the most trustworthy, organized and practical person you - or your friends - know. Life Path Number 4 people have a gift for planning and following through with their plans until the end (a rare and powerful combination of characteristics).

Although you have an idealistic nature and constantly strive for perfection, your feet remain firmly on the ground. Unlike the more dreamy numbers, you are always looking for ways to make things perfect using the tools at hand.

You are an idealist, but only in the sense that you refuse to quit until you have built your ideal world. This may show itself professionally, where you will probably not be in a leadership role but instead apply your talents by attending to every detail and ensuring they are completed. You leave the big talk to others, preferring to put your proverbial shoulder to the wheel to see the big plans come to life.

This may come as a surprise to you, but you are famous for your will power. While you are walking along not even noticing the effect you have on those around you, you quietly develop a reputation for personal strength that borders on sheer stubbornness. You don't mean to be stubborn, it's not due to your ego - it's simply that once you have made a decision (after careful and lengthy deliberation) it takes an earthquake to change your mind. This is one of the challenges of being a Life Path Number 4: changing paths mid-race.

Even though you are very intelligent and may see the wisdom of changing a plan, it cuts to your core to do so: you like to see a decision through to the very end, good, bad or ugly. This may be frustrating for others at times, but shows its beauty in the fierce and eternal loyalty to give to your spouse, your workmates and your family. Everyone needs a Life Path Number 4 in their life.

Easter Weekend........or Winter is back......

This last weekend was of course Easter. The weather ended up not being the greatest and when I was talking to Jax on the phone Friday I mentioned the possibility of it snowing on Saturday (the day of our Easter celebration). He just happily replied " Grandma, you will just have to hide the eggs inside like you had to do that one year."

When Saturday got here luck was with me and it ended up being a fairly nice day (at least in Brigham). I have had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids since Cambria was 2. I always have it the Saturday before Easter. The last few years we colored eggs too but this year I decided not to. Both girls were fine with it and we thought that the kids wouldn't care one way or the other. WRONG!!!!!!!

When Leslie asked her kids when they wanted to color eggs, both Braxton and Cambria said that they were coloring them at Grandma's! When Leslie told them that we weren't coloring eggs this year both kids were very disappointed.

Cambria had made me a story book about what we did on Easter and she told her mom that now she would have to tear out some pages. I wanted to cry when Leslie was telling me this. Luckily Leslie talked Cambria into leaving the pages in the book. By the way it was the cutest little story book. Leslie said that Cambria had worked on it all week.

After we had eaten and hunted for eggs Braxton came up to me and asked when we were going to color eggs. I just gave him a big hug and told him that we weren't and that Grandma had messed up and asked him to forgive me. He of course did and I will never leave out coloring Easter eggs again!

We kept lunch simple. I ordered a 6 foot sub from Kent's ( I know it wasn't Walmart, but they are the best). Jamie made a really good green salad and Leslie made strawberry shortcake for dessert and Angel brought the drinks.

After we ate it was time to hunt for eggs....

Here is Jax, Gunner, Trevon, Braxton and Cambria ready to go....

I need to come up with more hiding places now that they are getting older. Afterwards they had fun opening all the eggs to see their prizes.

Gunner loved just playing with the empty eggs.

We weren't paying attention at one point and when I looked over at Gunner he was by Jax's basket and he was taking one egg out of Jax's basket at a time saying "I found an Easter Egg!" and then he would put it in his bag. He had half of Jax's eggs in his bag by the time we noticed. He just wanted to keep hunting for eggs and was sad when he had to give Jax back his eggs.

Gunner also just idolizes Jax and Jax is soooo good with Gunner. This surprises us all because Jax has always had NO tolerance for little babies (even his brother). But he plays so good with Gunner. He even helps me with him when I have had them all spend the night.

Here is Jax tickling Gunner.

It was a fun afternoon and I have more picture on my Facebook if you want to see them.

It was also Conference weekend, which means Pajama Sunday! I just stay in my pj's and watch conference. It is so nice and relaxing. The talks were very good.

I received another song to test from Dale J. I'm really enjoying helping him out with his sheet music. It is giving me new things to play and at the end of a week I send him my findings so that when he does the finished sheet music it hopefully will be as close to perfect as it can. Plus I will get a free final copy of all the pieces I help him with. He is very talented and we also are becoming friends.

I've started a new book..."The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. I've heard it is really good so we will see.
