EaStEr EgGs!!

Every year we go all out when it comes to decorating the Easter eggs. This year was extra special because the boys' cousins were here from Virginia so we got to do them with Thomas and Timothy, and Grandma and Grandpa too! My sister does not put pictures of her boys on the internet so this is the only picture with them in it. (Notice how they all covered their faces with their eggs?) Very clever, eh? I wish we would have taken a picture of one of the rubber cement eggs that we did. They were awesome lookin'! Woops... maybe next year. :)

I know this is kinda late, but... I hope everyone had a great Easter!

A Birthday and A Broken Wrist!

Kyler turned 10 last month!!! How the heck did that happen?!
His "How to Train Your Dragon" cake was delish (and store bought) because my sister and her two boys were here from Virginia for a week long visit and there was NO TIME to be making a cake!

While they were here, he fell off the monkey bars at school and broke his wrist... just to make things a little more exciting! The doctor put him in the soft cast for a few days (until the swelling went down) and then the hard cast.


Which he wasted no time getting all signed up! :)

And now... he might look happy about the cast, but he can't wait to get it off!

Car Seat Covers for Gage and Jackson

This farm cover is for Baby Gage who was just born a couple of weeks ago to Pam, a really great friend of mine.

And this dinosaur cover is for Baby Jackson, who is still in my cousin Danielle's tummy!

Best buddy vacation!

This is my friend Annette.

(I miss her every day!)
This is Annette ...taking a picture of me... taking a picture of her! :)

Annette and her family moved about 7 hours away from us last summer. Which was soooo sad. So the boys and I took a little drive and went to see them last month. (My camera has been lost since then with these pictures in it. So happy I finally found it!)

We didn't tell any of the kids that they would be seeing each other so it would be a super awesome SURPRISE! We are the sneakiest moms EVER! Hehe!

I don't think they knew what was going on for a second...

even after they saw each other. LOL!

I think Trypten weighed more than MacKelle, but she's tough so she held him a lot anyway! :)

We spent a few hours at Chuck E. Cheese's when we got there. The kids were in heaven!

It was so good to see them. Can't wait for many more best buddy vacations to come!

Family 5K

My sister FINALLY came back home for a visit with her boys. So we decided we wanted to do a little family 5K while she was here. Anyone in the family that wanted to join in could come along. Originally it was supposed to be a jogging 5K... however, I had an injured back and my doc said no jogging, and Brandi had an injured knee and her doc said no jogging... so instead of cancelling we did a 5K walk. It was a lot of fun! Maybe next time we will all be in working order and will be able to actually do it the right way! :)

Chubba Dubbas

Love this little Chubba Dubbas!

Still here!

I know it's been a while... but I'm still here! My computer froze up and we had to spend some serious cash to get it working again. Then when we got it back, the internet wouldn't work. While that was going on, I was flat in bed with my back out! So... now the computer is working, the internet is working, and my back is working again... FINALLY!!!

On another note...

Look at my hair. It is getting so long! And I finally bought a new hair straightener (ion) which I am loving. Not loving the long hair so much, but if I have to have it long, I am glad I have the new straightener to go along with it. :)
