Hoppy Easter





I took Britain to Olan Mills to get her first Easter pictures taken, I had a coupon and the Super Saver Plan so i got a great deal. It just so happened that the Easter Bunny was there and was taking pictures with the children. I was worried that she would be scared of the bunny but she was more fascinated with it. She did a beautiful job yesterday and like my other two gorgeous children she is very photogenic.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Chase's big birthday





Happy St. Patrick's Day! Lately I have been really into all the Holiday's and really doing them up. I've gotten out the flag on the house, decorated the front door, put little decorations around the house with candy strewn everywhere (not good for the diet) and it's been a blast! Aren't my little Leprechaun's adorable?







So yesterday was Chase's 11th birthday. We had told him months ago when he started saying where he wanted his party that if he didn't have a birthday party that he could get something really nice for his birthday. I mean seriously, how much do parents spend on parties now a days...too much. Skylar's last party cost over $200 and then you still get them a present from mom and dad.

I wasn't raised with a party every year. I had one on the important milestone years and that was it. However, every year my parents would take each of us out to dinner on our birthday to where ever we wanted to go. Brad always choice sea food, Brian was always Italian if I remember correctly and until I was Chase's age I always picked McDonald's, don't ask. So Chase decided instead of a big party with all his friends he wanted a computer and dad got him one! I didn't even have a TV when I was his age. Man, what's he gonna want next year?

Almost 5 months old




Well, now another four weeks later and I have yet to post anything more. Big surprise, I've been a little busy. I am having such a great time with Britain. As a lot of you know I didn't get to stay home with Chase, mom watched him, and with Skylar I worked at night and tried to take care of two babies on only three or four hours of sleep. Needless to say I don't remember a whole lot from that time, good thing there's video and pics. But this time is different.
I get up, wake the two oldest, make lunches, make a bottle, wake the baby, feed the baby then we head off to school. Then it's play time for me and Britain. We play and sing and take baths and naps, it's a hoot! I love watching different things happen from week to week. Just last week she started wrinkling up her nose when she sees Bubba, Sissy or daddy walk in the room. Sometimes she sticks her cute little tongue out too. She's starting to laugh and I just love trying new foods with her and watching her facial expressions.
Just this morning I was feeding her one of her favs, bananas, and just as I poked a spoonful into that adorable little piehole she looked at me, grinned and sneezed...twice. Needless to say I need a shower. But it was great, she was smiles all morning even though it's cloudy dreary day.
Currently she is napping so I will go jump in the shower and wash off the bananas. Hopefully it won't take me a month to post another entry but who knows it probably will.
