Easter and such

Well this past weekend was an extended weekend with Friday being Good Friday, and I was off work, so a three day weekend, that flew by!

Friday - Started today off with going over to Cheri's to dye easter eggs... Braydon came home with some colored hands, but he had fun! Then we went to Wal-Mart and the Easter Bunny happened to be there, so we have a snapshot of him sitting next to him with a frown, really cute! Then off to the first egg hunt of the weekend at New Mark Care Center with Grandma. Braydon was the big winner of a large stuffed green frog, a coloring book, a small stuffed dog and a whole lotta candy! It was a nice event that the center holds to get the tenants involved with children!


Saturday - Started the morning with a very CHILLY easter egg hunt at our Church; Then we visited a friends easter event at their Church with Braydon. He enjoyed most of it, as he just shy of 3 and still not too sure about why we are looking for plastic eggs and why we ask him to sit next to that large, adult size moving stuffed rabbit...... After all of the easter activity, we went up to Photographx Unlimited and rented their studio for a Senior sitting.... This studio was a great experience and is well worth your visiting them if you are in the area and want to take your own studio quality photos! We got there early enough that I was able to snap some pictures off of Braydon and Doug & I really am happy with the results! I will be going back with the whole family and get some more GREAT shots!

Sunday - Went to Church, then we had my family over for a very interesting easter dinner (a lamb roast, a small rack of ribs and three turkey legs).... After dinner we played dominos. What made it nice, was that we picked Grandma up from her rehab, and brought her to the house for the afternoon. We forgot one thing while all of the family was over....The camera!, so sorry, no pictures for this fun filled day.
Well Hugs to All & I hope that everyone had a VERY BLESSED EASTER weekend!

Dinner with the Crow's

This past Friday we had plans with the Crow's and a mutual friend, David Allen... Well, David was under the weather and cancelled on us, but dinner was already underway, so Doug & I went on over and had a GREAT dinner - Yes, David, you missed good food and great time with friends! We of course will now have to plan into the summer to try this again, as Jessie is just around 11 days or so from having baby number 2!!! We are all so excited for her... I know that I am biting at the bit, because they decided to not find out what the little one is, and then of course, because of how people respond, they have also choose to not share their picks on names.... I personally think it is a little..... BOY.... But of course, will have to wait and see what God blesses them with! If you are reading this before she gives birth - Please keep them in prayers, as this one is showing a stubborn streak, and is currently not only breach, but facing the wrong way too. So unless God interveens, and the baby turns, this one will be delivered via c-section.

In regards to our lives lately....

Alex has been accepted to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary school in Chicago, IL. Mom is a teary eyed excited! My first born is leaving the nest!

Grandma fell and fractured her pelvic bone, spent 7 days in the hospital and is now in a nearby rehab care facility.

Doug has been busy working two jobs.

Drew has been his normal self lately - with the addition of getting not so great grades (he is currently grounded).

Braydon has changed daycare's and is doing LEAPS and BOUNDS better than where he was at. He went from being one of 16 to one of SIX! We love Miss Cheri (pronounced sherry)!

Me - Just working away and trying to keep everyone's busy schedule straight!

Well - I hope that you have enjoyed our updates, I am off to bed!

Leap Day Wine Dinner

OK - I have been lazy over the past month and have not posted a lot that has happened.... So to get started, I am at least getting some pictures posted. The following pictures are from a wine dinner where we met over at Danny & Annie Mock's with John & Jessie Crow for another wonderful dinner..... I know that Jessie has been waiting for these pictures so she can share some as well.... So here they are... Also, Please note, that I actually got pictures from this PAST Friday night, posted above these!!! So, Yes, Jessie, you can snag them for your blog too! I do say this all in good humor. We have a good relationship and I know that she mentioned on her blog about the 2/29 dinner pictures since she forgot her camera that night, and then, I go lazy!... ell, I have at least got them posted now. Jessie - I hope that you find a few that you can smile about.... I happen to like the few where we tried the pink scarf on Braydon! He has that 'MOM, I can not BELIEVE that you just put a PINK scarf on me, and TOOK my picture!!" look.
