From Procrastination to Paying It Forward!!

This was how I was feeling:

Received that yesterday in a funny email from my BFF from JHS that I happened to run into at Target 15 years later!! Now life is all good in BFF world, she lives around the corner, her 2nd marriage was to a Johnny too, and she had lots of kids, just like me...

Bloggie Queenie Jeannie is Paying it forward, she's got a great blog, check it out!

So now I feel all nice and giving inside like this:

Just believe...Sometimes you just have to talk yourself into believing

believing that things will be better,

believe that what you're doing is the right thing,

believe that your kids will follow the right path,

believe in yourself,

believe in your dreams and visions for your future

You especially need to do this when you don't want to believe any of it at all!!

Today is just one of those days

I read and hear about health issues with children and these mothers are so strong,

you all inspire me and are just amazing women.

I hope that if the time comes that I have to deal with something so hard, I can be just as strong.

I'm a sagitarius so I'm a dreamer and I often wonder where this path is leading me...

Where it leads my family?

Am I doing all that I can do?

All that I'm supposed to do?

So today I will start my vision board

get out of my funk

and just believe...

Easter weekend round up

What a non stop action packed weekend we had, I never had a minute to logon to the computer!

Friday was little Sister's bday...Happy 16th Sammi!

We were at Mel's for tacos and cake.

Our long lost bro from Texas flew in and everyone says he's got that Texas Twang now.

Sat. morning we were up early looking for a free pancake breakfast and 10,000 eggs to find! The kids had such a blast they got their faces painted, played games, and of course we cheated and waited on the wrong side of the line so our little ones wouldn't get trampled...tsk, tsk...

Here's a shot of the boy petrified of the bunny...dad couldn't get away!

Roooaaarrrrr!!!!!!!!!Scared ya' didn't he?!


Sunday was brunch at our house, we had so much food...

The hubby was going to be the omlette guy, but after making a few he decided that I was much better at multi-tasking! Mom and Nixon were the first there so you can see him enjoying his plate!

Kim and I didn't talk about our outfits before hand...so of course we had on the SAME EXACT dress!!! Yes, I changed, but there's a shot of us in there...the twins!

We had egg dying which was so not what we were used to from back in the day!

More grown kids to hide eggs then little ones to find them!
We had so much fun and it was good to have everyone there...

Tech Saavy Thursday

Well, well, well little ol' me is becoming quite the tech saavy girl today.
I joined a new blogspot Grace In The Small Things, check out my little badge below,
thanks to my blog surfing yesterday (thanks jeannie) It's quite a neat little world
to see how each person appreciate the little things in their life, if only we all did!

So then I found plinky.com which helps you find subjects to blog or glob about! still trying
to figure that out.

And lastly I've downloaded all my videos from my flip. You can make movies, cards, share on the web. So watch out ya'll those are comin soon. I just need to figure out how to download them. I said I was becoming saavy...not that I already am!

And not so techy, I get to go home and cook a good ol' fashion meal (thanks to the internet and all the recipes online) and unclog the bathtub drain the old fashioned way, I don't think they've come up with any new tech saavy way for that yet!

Waaassss Saappeennning Wednesday...

Life....

So much has been going on lately and haven't blogged with the bloggers lately.

I've been reading and finding new ones to follow which got me pumped to blog more

blog...why couldn't they give it a better name? huh??

It's almost Eater which is pretty amazing, cause that means we're done with a third of the year!

Sunday will be baskets, CANDY, brunch...yummy!!

Painting eggs, hiding eggs, finding eggs, CANDY!!

and of course all the kiddies in the family running around cause we're actually half rabbit and have a ton of youngins...I love all ya'll little babies...oh and some of you big ones too... muah!

Speaking of big ones, I can't believe my daughter is 15, I was watching her this weekend just doing her thing as I thought to myself - when did this happen? How do I have a 15 year old?

My little chubby girl has grown into this beautiful young lady who drives me crazy at times but has got my attitude and outlook on life...is curious about absolutely everything and is turning out to be a pretty good teenager. So I'm thankful and feel blessed to have her.

Lorysa is growing into her own and she's a complete opposite of her sister which is so funny. She is of course a mini Auntie Kim. With all knowing wittiness about her and an attitude to match. She challenges everything and acts like a tough pre-teen but she's got a big heart and smile in there that you get to see every once in a while! I love you just as much my middle child!! heehee

Boy oh boy...that boy! A new day, a new trick on the bike. He's riding with no more training wheels and is quite the little trickster. Last weekend he started standing on the middle bar as he's riding or he does the sidesaddle and holds up 1 hand all at the ripe ol' age of 3! I've learned not to flinch or squirm as he does these things, he's actually quite cautios when he's trying to figure out a new trick.

He's all boy, but he is still a little mama's boy when he "needs" something! of course!

Hubby and I had date night on Fri without offspring, which was not quite as good as I hoped for. I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled on Fri and was pretty drugged up, so if you have oral surgery in the morning you should probably postpone date night.
