The sun is shining and it is getting warm out there. I even turned on the a/c in the house! I am contemplating planting my fressia bulbs this afternoon, but lying on a blanket with a good book on the lawn sounds like a lot more fun, kwim?
I can't remember last time I posted...so I will give you a recap of our weekend. Friday night I went over to my mom's house and did a little bit of scrapping. I have got to get caught up on my paper albums. I am so ridiculously far behind. I get frustrated with paper scrapping though, because I am used to being able to change sizes, colors, etc on the digiscrapping I do. I hate not being able to change something so that it is perfect for me! :)
Saturday I didn't feel good. Really bad cramps. I took a percocet, not thinking that I would need to be able to drive Jake to tball. Well, it really wiped me out...I called my mom and asked her to take us to his game. Steve's mom came over and went with us too. I felt so horrible because my house is trashed from me not feeling well all last week. She came in and started cleaning for me. I really apprecitaed it, but was so embarrased at the same time. Steve's dad met us at Jake's game. It was fun to have Grandma and Grandpa there to cheer him on. He was grinning from ear to ear! I wish we lived close enough that they could come all the time. That is one of the things I don't like about being 45 minutes away from them. Especially with gas prices the way they are.
Saturday evening we went to the mall and looked for Mother's Day stuff. Didn't find anything wonderful though. I am out of ideas, and I am sure that our moms are tired of pictures of the kids and hanging baskets of flowers. That's probably what I will end up doing again...I should make some cards too. I am horrible about sending our grandmas something for Mother's Day and I really do want to be better about that.
It has been a fun weekend, just hanging out and being together as much as possible. Steve is tired of being gone so much. Rachie is so funny. You ask her where Daddy is and she says, "Daddy's at church...I miss him!" He had a funeral he was helping with on Saturday, and yesterday the usual stuff before and after church. Tonight we are hoping to do some geo-caching for Family Home Evening since the weather is so nice.
I am excited for Becka's birthday. She has been planning a Harry Potter themed party and we are like two giggly girls when we talk about it. I am excited because I bought her a clock like the one the Weasley's have in the book/movie. I know it isn't useful at all, but she will LOVE it, and it wasn't very expensive. I even got free shipping! In addition to that, we are going to give her $50.00 toward a new bike. She has been wanting one because she says hers is too "girly girl" for her. Geesh! She has her eye on a mountain bike at Walmart, but we are gonna make her look around at some other places before she decides. Steve is kind of a bike snob...he wants to get the ones that are better quality, so he will help her out.
I am including a few recent pics of the kiddos. Steve got one of his lights/flash units that he has been wanting, so he has been playing around a lot. Have a wonderful day everyone!
