Memorial Day

We had a great memorial day. We really didn't do much, the kids swam, Brian finished up his garden and I made some yummy Holiday food. Otherwise it was a great relaxing 3 day weekend and what beautiful weather we had too, the kids and me got some much needed sun. WE WANT MORE NOW!!

Fun day with a friend

Rachael a girl I work with invited us over on Sunday for a cookout and to let the kids run and play. It was so beautiful, she even got the sprinkler out for the kids to run in. Cassie,Darren and Justin had a great time.

We are going to have a very busy day on Sunday cause first we are having a party at my mom's house for Darren,Chelsea (my youngest sister)birthday and college graduation and mother's day too. Then we will be going to Brian's parents house later in the afternoon to celebrate with them too.

New baby niece--Aleyse Lynn

Zoo time again!!

The kids and me went to the zoo on Monday since it was so nice and boy was is great too, no lines and all the animals were out too!!

Pretty Blue bathroom

We are getting ready for another open house again. This time I had mom come up and help me paint the bathroom, THANKS MOM!! I love it, it was pink before but now is blue. What a big inprovement.

Egg Hunt

The kids and cousin Devin decided to brave the bitterly cold weater and hunt for some eggs. Boy did they do good too, both boys got a gold dollar coin and cassie found 3 eggs with gold dollar coins on them. They did good and didn't complain at all, both of my kids even sat with the easter bunny too.

Fun dying eggs

The kids got to be involved dying eggs this year. Grandma phillips had 2 dozen eggs ready to dye and the kids had a blast.

Fun with family

The kids and I went down home for weekend on February 22nd. We went down cause we hadn't been down there since the end of last year. (that was weird to type) My aunt ended up keeping Darren for me so I could do some serious cleaning cause we had an open house this past sunday. Wow was it great getting all the cleaning done without Darren being around but the house was really quite without him. While he was gone Brian ended up with a bad case of the flu so he was home all week. Now Cassie has the flu, hopefully it will pass me and Darren (fingers crossed).

The kids pile up on Aunt Chelsea.

Poppy and Aunt Chelsea playing with kids.

Fun in the tub!!

Boy kids sure can have fun with shaving cream, they used the whole can.

John Deere Bed

Darren had received this awesome John Deere bed in a bag from my mom. Now is room really is a John Deere room!!

WALLS!!

We finally have walls again after a year without them. I am so glad to have walls again, now the kids can't jump on the couch from the steps and walk through the walls. I will update with new pictures when the walls are finally finished.

SNOW!!

Monday night was rather warm, so we took advantage of building a snowman.
