Happy Earth Day!

We certainly enjoyed the sights and sounds of nature yesterday. It was a beautiful day to wake up...today on the other hand dreary and rainy. But I haven't been one with the couch in too long to think...today will be the day! I will be sure and recycle my coke bottle and I won't use my car today...your welcome earth. Go green, y'all!

Happy Birthday, Mimi!

So my precious mom turned Bleep Bleep yesterday.  OMG can you belive that?  She must use great face cream.  What an AWESOME Mom/Mimi she is!  I told you that once before...I am a fan of her!  We had a lovely day Lebanese food catered, good company, balloons, cupcakes, presents and Fun Bus (never too old to have the Fun Bus..right?) 

Every morning is Easter morning from now on!

Sun is shining, birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming.  It's a beautiful day to wake up! 

Praise God!!

EB was here...always dirting up the house with his feet.  This year he left cross necklaces (per Jaxson's request) for the kids..GawLee..I guess EB really knows the reason for the season.  Annabelle lost hers in the first couple hours but Papi miraculously found it...in the yard...how the heck he did that is a mystery to me.  Anyway, it will be in my jewelery box til she turns 18 and can appreciate the value of real jewelery.   

Would you just look at those 2 kids...how cute are they?  I just adore them.  Check out Annabelle in one of my old dance costumes...cutest bunny I ever did see.

Eggs and Play.

Hallelujah! He reigns.

Eat your chocolate, hunt for your eggs, leave bunny prints for the kids.  But don't forget the true reason for this holiday!  Also teach the kids the most important thing...Christ has risen!  Hallelujah!!!

Happy Easter!

One boy, one girl...my life!

 

 

Rose, Thorn, and Buds

For the past few weeks at dinner we go around the table and get a chance to share our "Rose, Thorn and Bud" for the day. 

Rose- something good that happen in the day
Thorn- something not so good
Bud- something new

I saw the idea in a parenting magazine and I thought it was super cheesy but that did not stop me from implementing it into our days.  It is really fun and it gives us a chance to talk about our day.  We are having a good time with it.  You can only imagine some of the funny things we hear from a 5 and 3 year old. 

Some of my favorites...
My rose was when I beat mommy to the car to hug daddy when he got home from work. -Jaxson
My rose was when Josh (the neighbor) brought me a flower (a dandelion).- Annabelle
Of course...I can't think of any the best ones right now..darn it...we laugh so hard at what the kids have to say.

I will share mine today...
Rose..I actually have 2.  One is that Jaxson sang in church today and it melted my heart.  I always love when the kids sing in church but when it is your child...my heart be still. 
My other Rose was that I successfully pulled off 3 April Fool's jokes on Corey...BaHaaa!  So FUN!  When will he learn that EVERY Sunday I put tape on the squirter in the kitchen sink.  Never gets old I tell ya.  Another was I poured nail polish out on wax paper and let it dry for a day then I left it in Annabelle's room on the hard wood floor...oh you should have heard is growl on that one.  Ha!  and last but not least I couldn't resist blowing the air horn right when he dozed off on the couch.  I know, I know...laugh it up chuckles...paybacks are hell but worth it.  Love you Core!
My thorn was ??  hummm. I can't remember.  That's a good day when you don't have an immediate thorn.
My bud was that I ran with a sweet friend today...we are working up to a 5K.  It feels good to run...who knew.
What was your Rose, Thorn and Bud today?...
