Spring Break finally came - yahoo! We headed down to San Diego to finally meet our new niece/cousin, Brooklyn. Such a sweetie and happy to have another girl in the family. That now brings my parents up to 9 grandkids. My dad and sister and her kids came with. We hit the beach even though it was pretty cold, made it to IKEA (why do we not have one in Vegas?!), celebrated the twin's birthday, and swam and soaked in the pool/jacuzzi (Thanks Dana for the great accomodations!). It was a fun trip, but we weren't done yet!
Bud took the kids out to dinner the night we got back to give me a little peace and quiet for a couple hours and to celebrate the boys birthday since he couldn't be with us in SD for their actual day. That drew their birthday out to a full week from getting their presents from Nana two Saturdays ago, to Nintendo DS's on the morning of our trip for the car, to their actual birthday on Friday, breakfast in bed on Sunday, then they STILL had donuts for their class the following Monday. After they got home from school that day I told them, "Your birthday is officially over" (lovingly, of course).
Wednesday I also got to go on a fun field trip to the Natural History Museum with them. This picture cracks me up, it looks like the dinosaur is going to attack our poor tour guide.
Easter was great last Sunday. I didn't have my camera, but the Hilbus traditions were alive and well (except for egg wars, that one kind of fizzled out this year). Kim came back from San Diego with us so she could celebrate with the family. All the cousins were together and yesterday we took family pictures of the whole crew which I'm sure I'll post soon.
So, I think that's pretty much it. Man, I do not like catch-up posts, but it's just been a crazy couple weeks. At least we're up-to-date now.

You have such a cute little family. We miss seeing you.
Up to date? It's now April 29 - a full 10 days since your last post. What gives?
