Mother's Day

I cannot believe how quickly the time is flying by. I know it's been awhile since my last post. Hopefully things will slow down a bit after this week and I can update more. I have tons of photos so I will get those up soon.

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We went to church the night before so there was no mad rush Sunday morning!! The kids let me sleep till 9am! They even closed the door so I wouldn't hear them playing the playstation. Hubby cooked a wonderful steak dinner! And I was showered with gifts from the kids. I am so thankful for wonderful and creative teachers who took time to make gifts!! Gabriel gave me a card and an owl he made in art class. It's so cute!!! Victoria made me a card and painted a ceramic tile. Lillian made a card and a cute basket. They are all so nice and wonderful gifts that will be cherished forever. I told hubby that there wasn't anything I really needed or wanted. So he got me some beautiful roses and the kids got an assortment of flowers. The perfect gift!!!! Oh and how I love my tri-pod! Now there are no excuses for photos when no one is around to take it.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. Kim and Jeff invited us to their church. After church they had a cook-out and an egg hunt for the kids. They all had a blast and everyone at their church is so nice and friendly.

Birthday

Last Saturday my husband wanted to take me out to dinner for my bday. I've been bugging him for months saying I wanted to go out with friends to celebrate my birthday. And do a couples dinner. Because how often do we get to go out with our hubby's? Every time I brought it up he blew it off. So, Saturday night comes around and we had decided on The Outback. He said that one of the nearby towns was having their prom so we would probably have to wait. He checked and sure enough so we ran to Wal-Mart to grab a few last min Easter basket items. Then we go back and we get led to our table and low and behold there are our friends shouting surprise. Now those who know me well, I do not like a huge fuss or anything where I'm on the spot. But I really enjoyed it and was surprised. Now I had a feeling that we would be having dinner with Kim and Jeff. And only because the girl has spent every birthday with me either at our houses or she takes me out. This year she said nothing of the sort which is so not here. But I never expected everyone to be there. It was a lot of fun and I hope our friends had a good time. Only a few of my photos came out and those are still blurry. So, please don't be offended if you were there and your photo didn't get posted. It's because it was so blurry there is no way to tell who you are. lol I'm still in awe that my husband put it all together from the babysitter to calling our friends.

Silly

Gabriel was being silly and put stickers on his face. I was even more shocked that he wanted to go out in public like this. He ate lunch at Golden Corral like this. lol

Talent Show

Wednesday was the Talent Show at school. The girls auditioned and each earned a spot. I'm still a bit shocked that they would insist on doing it esp for how young they are. Lillian was the only Kindergardner that auditioned and Victoria was one of a few 1st graders. Lillian was the first one that performed. And of course my battery died during her turn. I did get videos which I'm working on uploading so I can post it. They both did great and we are so proud of them!

Game Time

Gabriel had another game tonight. I'm thankful the wind was very light. lol Gabriel got some great hits again and helped get a runner out.

Party

Lillian's class earned a pizza party for today. It was a half day also, so perfect day for a party. They ate yummy pizza and played Thumbs Up 7 Up. She also felt the need to size up her pizza against her friends' slices. lol

Spring Break

I just now realized I never posted about my trip during spring break. The days are passing by was too quickly. My friend Sara moved last summer which was very sad. We've stayed in contact which means lots of texts and phone calls. And that means comments from hubby about that.lol So in Feb I told him that I think I should go visit her. He said ok. Then he went on to say that I should take Gabriel with me. Our boys are the same age and were friends so I was ok taking him. Plus he's older and requires less "watching." I found great prices through Southwest so off we went. We flew in Tuesday and left Saturday. We had a great time. The boys went to camp for two days, we went to the zoo, this art place called keilidescope, etc. The time went by too quickly. I'm so glad we went and hopefully Sara will come out here this summer. Here are a few photos from the week.
