Fun Stuff

A few days ago I was reading a blog. Go figure! I can't remember for the life of me whose it was....ooops yes I know I guess I read too many :) Anyway the best advise EVER!!! It is called Productive Parenting. I signed up and they send me a daily email suggesting activities for each of my kids! Whoop! I always run out of things to do. Today was a fun one for Hayden. We played with toy phones....I talked on one, and he drooled on the other. It was cute though because we was grinning as I was talking to him. Or maybe I'm just really funny! teehee :) Check it out.

Wordless Wednesday

Hello Springtime :)

Layla loves to play golf.

Harley and dad playing soccer.

Swingin'

We love playing outside! I am so glad the weather has been nice....I hope it stays nice. We had a contractor come to the house yesterday to give us a quote on a patio cover. I hope that we are able to get one this summer. A patio cover would be like a second living area for our family. It would be an awesome addition to our home, and a goal fulfilled that Gary and I have been striving for since we bought this house 3 years ago. I can't believe we have lived here for 3 years! We are so blessed...I love our house. My hope is that as our children get older they will love our house also. I hope they always feel at home and safe here :)

Home Sweet Home.

Happy Easter

We had a super fun weekend! Yesterday the weather was great. Gary smoked a brisket. He did a few things different trying out ways to make it more tender, and wow it was GREAT!!

We had so much fun playing outside. Susan, Kristin and Yvonne came by for a brief afternoon visit. It was great see them, and I know they enjoyed their time with the kids.

After the kids went to bed we enjoyed a visit with DeeDee and Paul from across the street. We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors. A very fun part of my weekend was seeing my friend Ena. I can't remember the last time I saw her. I miss her so much. She is engaged to a great guy named John, and we got to meet him. He and Gary talked motorcycles all night, and we had a ball with them.

This morning was great. We went to church and I really enjoyed the Easter message. We sang the most amazing hymn "Ten Thousand Angels" I have never sang this hymn, but I will remember it forever.

After church my parents came to have lunch with us. We had fun hanging out with them though I wish we could have hung out outside. It rained here all day. If we had been outside, Layla would have forgotten about all the candy she has to eat. CANDY...AGHHH!!!

I posted this picture of us four taken this morning after church.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Sweet little bunny

I'm not a cake maker...I always get mad, but I'm okay with this one. It is picture worthy. Usually, I bake a cake and get mad at the icing. Thank goodness for coconut..it hides the messy icing :) Oh, and wanted to give a big xoxo (kiss) to my honey for the lovely flowers. Thanks!

Good Friday

I am very thankful for these wonderful kids!

All the pictures of the kids together were chaos...this one is OK. They were to busy fighting over the bunny and basket to look at the camera! As you can see he wants what she has...never ending!!!
