Cinco de Mayo

Does anyone celebrate this holiday??? If I were a partyer or drinker I would b/c the resteraunts & bars sure do have lots of specials during this day. I don't even know what the importance is of cinco de mayo. I should do a little bit of research! We didn't learn about it in school. I think that it's a hispanic holiday so why is it so important....not trying to be disrespectful but I really don't know what it's all about.

Friend Day

I'm excited about today at church, we're doing something special so that the community can get to know our church a little bit better. They're calling it friend day. Appropriately we are all supposed to invite a friend, co-worker, neighbor, etc. We will be doing a parade of ministry, slide show, & a short salvation message that is relevant to the Christian as well. Afterward each 'department' will have a booth set up outside to answer questions, and have information and sign up list for anyone interested. Oh and also gifts as well. I think ours is the best of course. We did tye dyed t-shirts, magnets & sodas/ water bottles....it's supposed to be hot!

Made of Honor

Cute but not great. Anyone else seen it?

And then there were 15

My SIL is pregnant, so there are now fifteen memebers of our house!

You have fun at the...

YMCA! Well I have finally been to the Y. We have had a membership for a year or so but this week is the first time I've been. Terrible I know! Anyways I walked a few miles & got out of the house. It was a nice change of scenery. Up until know I haven't wanted to go but this week I had to get out of the house! So I am sure I will go on a regular basis. And maybe lose some weight if I stick to it.

May first, only twenty six more day until I turn 29. So for just a few months Sam and I will be the same age. How fun. Well, it's softball season so we won't be seeing much of Sam for the next 12 weeks or so. He has a game tonight. Thankfully we'll be headed to the YMCA to release a little energy!

It's the last day of the month and this week has been much less hectic than last week. STill the beginning of the month is just around the corner, in just a few hours. And that means starting all over with the monthly events at church and celebrating birthdays around here and life just in general gets busy. Already the first five days of May have something schedule for daytime and evening. IT's a busy season gearing up for summer, the kids at school are getting antsy & the youth as well. They are so similar to Justus they just want to get outside & play...the warm weather is call I guess.

Poor Miley

I know that most of our kids aren't really to the age of watching/listening to Miley Sirus but I really feel bad for her and all the negative press she is getting. Anyone have an opinion? The picture looks a little risque to me but her parents were there & you never know how someone else is going to represent you!

Nationwide Commercial

Have you seen the Nationwide commercial about kids??? The theme is take your kids to work day, & the mom is a teller at a bank. The kid sees the mom send an envelope from the bank to the customer, mom walks away & the kids starts sending stuff too. Pens, quarters, a sandwich etc. It was Hilarious to me! Anyone else seen it?

Mudbug

Sunday & Monday it rained so water was standing around everywhere. The boys were going nuts being cooped up in the house. Sam took them outside while I finished cleaning up supper dishes. They were wearing their rain boots when they went out. They were filthy by the time we brought them back in the house & went straight to the bath tub. I had to rinse them off before the bath b/c they were so dirty. Justus was so busy running around gettting gross, he loved it! And Zeke was obsessed with stomping in the puddle. It's was fun to watch! And hard to get good pics. They didn't want to stop the fun to take a pic. I got a few good ones.

Update, daddy must have sensed, I mean heard, seen, heard some more my frustration because tonight we're going to see another movie. This is two weekends in a row & much needed me time. Two uninterrupted hours with nothing to do but sit there and enjoy. I will be having raisinettes & popcorn. And having the time of my life (for the moment). Yea Sam!!!! Thanks for being so understanding and working so hard!!! I do appreciate it.

Escape

Tonight Aubrey & I are going to see the movie Fool's Gold at the two dollar movie. We both are feeling the need to escape from the house. We went last week & saw National Treasure 2, it was really good if you like that kind of movie. We think there will be third and will probably go see that too. I like the Indiana Jones movies, Lara Croft, The Mummy all those kinds adventure/treasure hunt kind of stuff. Fool's Gold is of course a different type of movie. ANyways, I gotta go get ready.

ps Remind me to tell you about play dough & finger paint.

This week is one of those that I"d just like to escape to another world. One where my husband could spend the evenings with his family. But it's not to be. This week he has had baseball M& T, church on W. and now tonight thru Sunday he has church events each night followed by another game on Monday. That is a complete week without daddy during the evening. The steam is building up between my ears, it should erupt & come spewing out at any moment. Oh, and not only that but he also has to be at the church for a youth fundraiser from 9-2.

Today is Jaiden's official birthday, so we decided to have another party. With cake again....who doesn't like cake??? If you don't I really don't care it's just one of those dumb things you say. Anyways, it's my turn to cook supper & and I wanted to do a dessert anyways so I'm making a Eclair Cake. YUMMY, I should put it on the Recipe Place. IT has pudding, cool whip, graham crackers & chocolate icing. I got a CARS candle to go on top & scrounged up a few little things to put in a bag so he can open something up on his actual birthday. Celebrating your birthday twice is the way to go! Especially if your young. Next year when I turn 30, I will not NEED to celebrate twice, as I will be thinking of it all year long!

Finally an update~ things are going well for my mom. She works in a New doctors office with only a handful of people & she LOVES it! Thank you Jesus! Things are busy, busy around here. The boys LOVE having thier cousins around, and for the most part it's been a smooth transition. The hardest time is bedtime b/c quarters are cramped everyone TRIES to be respectful & quiet but it's HARD. Supper time is CRAZY but enjoyable. Showers/baths are interesting; especially when we all have to be at the same place, same time like church for example. All in all it works.

It time for bed....I would have done an update sooner but we've been having technical difficulties around here. Talk to you soon!

Tonight at WHWC (our church): Meet the pastor's Wives a Q & A to get to know the pastor's wives. Snacks available, child too.

I can't express just how excited I am about this night that was planned without any consideration on our part.....can you feel the sarcasim.. would it be wrong if I suddenly got sick??

We have some friends who are moving this weekend so today Justus and I went over to help them pack. They have a little boy as well so they entertained each other pretty well. They also have a puppy named scooby. He's a lab who is humongous (sp)? Well, J is pretty rough with the dogs around here, he jumps on them and plays with them. Apparently he did something that either scared scooby or hurt him because the dog reached around and nipped Justus on the throat. YES, I said throat. It scared both Justus & myself. After getting Justus calmed down and talking to him about the way to treat a dog he went on his way and I promptly had myselft a good cry. I knew that he was fine and the puppy only reacted to pain or fear but still it was a huge rush of emotions. In which I always reply with a cry. I think Marie was scared I was mad, in part I was but only by the circumstances. Not really at her dog & definetly not her.

It's girls night, I'm going see a movie. (National Treasure) The boys are staying with daddy. Sammy has redeemed himself. The boys are happy, momma's happy. Now to figure out the checkbook and make sure it's possible. I may be pulling out the quarters, I'm not ashamed. You do what you need to! Have a good weekend everyone!

PAR-TEE Time

Jaiden (nephew) is turning three this month so tonight is party night. It's time for food, fun and cake. And presents of course. It's crazy. We have a six year old, five year old, four year old & now a three year old....in a few more months we'll have two year olds. Stair stepping I guess, so that being said it's time for someone to get pregnant, and I"m not dropping hints. I'd like to have another someday down the road but not at this very minute.

Baseball season has started-yippee. Five nights without daddy instead of three....O the joy!

Retro

So I went back to see what was going on a year ago, this is the closest post to today, things have changed!!!! Zeke is aproaching two instead of one. He can walk & talk now. And believe me he does. Anyways, enjoy the flashback with me.

Caught in the act
If Zeke gets quiet you can probably find him by the wood pile. I have to pull him away several times a day. For some reason he thinks it's a great chew toy...GROSS!!!!!!!!!

I must have scared him---he looks terrified.


Mommy means business I better get out of here! Ummm, this is tasty.


OK, ok I'm really leaving this time.
