Our spring break was very busy. Joel has two weeks off, the kids had one. The first week was school for the kids (homeschool for Julianna, of course), but one day was blocked out for Julianna's MRI/EEG at Loma Linda. She was fully sedated. Here she is waiting to be called back with her IV in her arm.
I was able to see her in the recovery area after her MRI. For some reason, they did not keep her sedated for the EEG, so I asked if they would do it while she was laying on her bed. SHE DID IT! I could not believe how well she did while they spent HALF AN HOUR putting those little wires on her head, and another half a hour administering the test while she had to be very still. They wheeled over a TV with her choice of movie (Megamind) and when she was done they gave her a STACK of books. The test results came back NORMAL--her brain structure and function are fine. Still leaves me wondering, but I'm glad the test is over!
She got to ride a wheelchair to the car which she thought was really cool.
Blake started his second season of soccer. This time his team is the Bears. He loves it.
I turned 30!!! Here's the cake Joel made for me.
Blowing out the candles. The kids were really excited for me to turn 30.
The second week of spring break we went camping at Casper's Wilderness park in Orange County. It was a very scenic campground with lots of wildlife. The kids LOVE camping.
Another shot of our campsite.
All set up!
I made the kids pose on the fence behind our site. They are half dressed the next morning.
A really cool playground at the campground. When's the last time you saw a teeter-totter? I was so excited!
Blake on the playground. It was the coolest playground I've seen. So big!
A family shot during one of our hikes. Some OCC film students were on the trail and offered to take our picture. They took it very seriously.
The tire swing at the park. Another thing you don't see much of anymore. The kids loved it! I remember getting sick on tire swings as a kid.
Easter in Santa Ana at Nana's and Grandma Shaw's/Grandpa Tony's house. The kids found their AMAZING Easter surprises!
Julianna loved her new LaLaloopsy doll.

We had a great spring break! The school year is almost over now! Can't believe it!
