the weekend: the third part

Whew, I'm getting behind here.

On Sunday we went to North Austin (we are way south) to celebrate Easter with some of Sean's side. There were a bunch of adults and only two kiddos old enough to do anything "easter-like". AK, Gavin-2.5 and Kaitlyn-10 months. ANYWAYS, we sang "The Wondrous Cross" as a family with my bro-in-law playing the guitar, played volleyball, jumped on the trampoline, ate yummy yummy food and then after the kiddos woke up from their naps we had a little egg hunt for them. It was fun because there was no pressure, just two tots looking for eggs filled with goldfish. After they did their egg hunt their wonderful Great Uncle set up a whole scavanger hunt on the inside of the house. AK had no clue what was going on but it was so sweet. They have this little room in their house that is glass all around and the top is glass (I think) and it's full of plants and flowers with two chairs for some quiet relaxation (I guess). ANYWAYS, that's where the baskets were at the end of the hunt and they all three got fun surprises. AK got a cute stuffed lamb, bubbles, yogo bites and some other stuff that I don't remember. Soon after all of that excitement we said our goodbyes and headed home. It was a lot of fun!

the weekend: the second part

On Saturday we celebrated Easter with my side of the fam down in Waco. There were six kiddos total-19 months, almost 18 months, almost 17 months, 4, 5 and 6. It was busy to say the least...but lots of fun!





It was a fun but hectic!

my weekend: the first part

My first favorite part of Friday:






Another favorite part of Friday was going out to the Wachsman's for a 'bring your own dinner' hang out. It was fun to let the kiddos play in the yard to release some energy before bed. Sorry, but no pics of that eventful time.

Last favorite FUNNY part of the day was emailing someone from my cell phone, in our motel room, in bed, around 1 am, husband on the left-kid on the right, head under the covers and cutting it short due to heat. The funny came in when I received an email back from her saying how she cracked up when she read that because she was ALSO checking email from under the covers on her cell around 4 am. Hilarious!

flashback friday

There you have it my friends, Bri and I when our babies were just little chubby things. Our two little families merged together one night for a great big slumber party...okay...all together there were six of us and two went to bed early. Here we are protecting ourselves with a big pillow and multiple pairs of sunglasses while our husbands played with airsoft guns in the house. If you don't know what they are you should find out and then buy your husband one and watch him turn into a kid all over again. We had so much fun that night. Memories :)

today

Here's what I accomplished today:







Anna-Kate's bow collection has just about doubled! I can't bare to buy a new ribbon pattern and not make some for her. That would be sad. She just looks so darn cute in bows. It's like her trademark or something. And, I find myself thinking about all the people I could give them to...which totally defeats the purpose of making them to make money. I'm still trying to figure out the best route to take but if anyone is interested email me and I'm sure we can figure out something.
