Not much time for posting...

Last Wed we got to see Darren for a few hours as he happened to be in town. Here is Violet meeting her Uncle for the first time. We are looking forward to seeing the rest of the family this summer. Also - JESSE turned 5 Sunday. Happy Birthday to you Jesse!! We are sorry we didn't call...the time difference is our lame excuse. We thought your parents wouldn't like it if we called at 2am...(sorry!)
Dan has set up a "basketball court" in his garage and the boys LOVE playing out there. I guess while I was working yesterday they played many games in the garage with Papa Dan.
Hi cute girl
This is Gavin's newest thing - he puts band-aids on his wrist and that is where his spiderweb comes out. He's spiderman.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom and Judy!! Yesterday we saw my family and will celebrate with Judy soon. We are blessed to have our moms so close to us. They have been so helpful with our kids whenever we need them and continue to love and support us. We are so grateful for both of you. Thank you. We love you!
Jason treated me to sleeping in, breakast in bed and flowers on Mother's Day. Gavin also made me a gift that he gave to me several times over the few days before Mothers day because he was so excited about it. He would give it to me, then ask me to put the ribbon back on so he could give it to me the next day :-)
Haven't had much extra time lately! Lets see...whats going on with the Prince family - you ask? Jason is back into the routine of work and the kids and I are getting into our own routine without Daddy on work days. I started work last Monday and am just working 1 day a week. I was a little nervous leaving Jason with all of them for 14 hours (12.5 hour day plus drive time!) since he hadn't had all of them for more than 30 minutes prior to that and Violet hadn't had a bottle in a few months. But of course - Jason was fine. Violet doesn't mind the bottle at all and yesterday Jason even went to Costco with all 3 of them! You can be impressed. I was :-) The kids are doing great. I remember at this age Ezekiel wouldn't sleep more than 30 minutes at a time so I'm very grateful that Violet naps longer than that! She takes an afternoon nap while Ez sleeps and Gavin rests for 2-3 hours. She also goes to bed between 7-8pm and this is the boys bedtime too, so that is great too. We get more smiles and coo's every day and are enjoying our little girl.

This week is going to be fun because Daniel and Bethany are coming into town and we have a very exciting event - their (daniel, bethany, and my mom) graduation with their MASTERS DEGREES!! Yahoo!! CONGRATULATIONS you guys. I'm SO proud of you!!! The graduation is Thurs and that night is a celebration dinner/dance that Jason and I(and Violet) are going to. It will be fun! Then on Friday, Daniel and Bethany will drive up to SF with Jason as their Traithalon is this weekend.

Care -- Great pics! Violet is just getting cuter and cuter, as if that were even possible! Spidey powers, I was cracking up about G.

Thank you for your *nice* comment on my blog, jerky. :) I am sending you a Patagonia bikini immediately. Happy birthday to YOU. LOVE!

PS- do they make battery operated flat irons?? We should ask Cathlene. ;)

Cute picture of Darren and Violet. I"m thinking somebody might be wishing for a newborn of his own?
