Spring Has Sprung
For the moment Spring is in the air. Yesterday was such a beautiful day and today looks to be the same. I have been so patiently waiting for warm weather...for more than 1 reason. The main reason is because I am so anxious to get the kids outside and to enjoy playing in the backyard. We are also going to put a garden in the backyard this year. I want the kids to be able to go outside and see the wonders of things growing. I also want them to be able to go to the tomato plant or the strawberry plant and pick something and eat it!!! That should suit my children just fine, they love to eat!!!
Today when I sent the kids to my parents, I packed Spring/Summer clothes for them. I am anxious to see how cute they look when I pick them up this afternoon. I have a feeling they will be spending some time outside today. I think Garrett wants to help "Gampa" work in the yard. He loves to be outside and it you want to become his friends very quickly, offer to take him outside...you will have his heart forever!
It is hard for me to believe that our vacation is approaching at a very rapid speed!! We will be leaving in just over 1 month!! AUGH!!!! I have got to get in action and get some things done....tan (I don't want to burn at the beach), lose at least 10 pounds, start buying vacation clothes, exchange my swimsuit, give my kids a lot of extra love everyday before we leave, buy Joel some vacation clothes...the list could keep going. I guess I better get in gear!!!!!
That is all for now, maybe I will have more to post tomorrow...I am trying to get better at posting. How do you think I am doing?

Happy Easter
Christ the Lord is Risen Today....Alleluia!!!
I hope you had a most blessed Easter. We woke up to a rainy, gloomy Sunday!!! At first I was disappointed because I knew we would not be having an Easter egg hunt at my parents with the kids. I then quickly realized that it wasn't as gloomy a day after all...Christ died for me and for my sins, what could be gloomy about that? We had a great service at church and then we were off to have a BBQ with my parents---and yes, we can still BBQ even if it is raining!!!
We enjoyed a great afternoon with my parents, Gene, Uncle Ricky and Aunt Karen. It was great to get together with the family for the afternoon. We enjoyed great food, great conversation, and great fun!! The kids loved their Easter baskets and the candy that was in them. The toys that the Easter bunny left them weren't bad either!!! The fact that The Masters was---an added bonus to the afternoon!!!
I hope you had a great Easter!!!

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto!!
So why in the heck is it so windy??? We have been living with some of the most awful wind for the last few days. I don't think it would be so cold if the wind wasn't blowing so hard. When I am in the master bathroom at our house, it sounds like the back of the house is going to come off at any minute!!! Yesterday we were laying around being lazy (everyone but me was taking a nap) and the umbrella that goes with the kids picnic table came out of the center hole in the table, was blowing against the back door and eventually went over the fence. YUCK!!!!
Yesterday was the Easter Egg hunt at our wonderful church. They have different areas for different age groups; I don't know about the other areas, but the area where Garrett and Isabel were looked like it had rained bright colored eggs!!! Garrett was so cute....he walked out the door, his eyes were wide and he squealed, "EGGS!!" It was the cutest thing!!! It amazes me everyday to see what he is picking up on. He says things that we say...last night Joel told Riley (our dog, for those of you that don't know) that he was bugging. The next thing we know Garrett starts saying bugging. I guess we better be careful what we say. Isabel did great during the egg hunt also. She walked while holding my hand and smiled the whole time. She didn't care about picking up eggs, she just wanted to hold on to her basket!!
Yep, you heard right...Isabel walked around while holding my hand!!! She has started taking a number of steps by herself. If we aren't watching her, she tends to walk further and take more steps. After she walks and then falls on her bottom, she looks up to see who was watching her and smiles the most precious smile. What is it about a child's smile that can make a mom's heart melt? That is one thing these two beautiful children have done to me!!! I melt just watching them, listening to them, talking to them... It doesn't matter what they are doing, I think they are the most precious, gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on!!!!
A shout out to Kevin, Mandy, Emma and Hannah...I am so glad you made it safely to Tennessee!! We missed you at the Easter Egg Hunt!!! Keep posting...that is how I am going to be able to follow you until we meet again!!! Love you guys!!!
I will try to get some pictures posted tonight!!!
