Good Times

We had a few friends over last weekend. I made 2 pots of jambalaya for everyone. One mild for our not so hot friends and one hot for our friends who have some gall. Both pots were gone by the end of the night. We had a great time sitting by the fire and chatting. Here are some pics

Picture This

I am hooked on photo editing using all the different websites. My favorite feature is the skin tanner. I am a natural redhead so the likelihood of me getting a tan is slim to none. Therefore the fact that I can tan without the painful sunburn is heaven in my eyes.

And this is to test Hubs to see how long it takes him to check my blog. He is not an advid reader so let's just see how long it takes me to get in trouble for these.

On the Bunny Trail

We headed over to the in laws today for a family Easter. Gammaw made a delicious lunch. Uncle Lee and Aunt Amanda brought stuff to dye easter eggs. Then we had a good old fashion easter egg hunt where daddys hide the eggs and the tots go find them. We had a great time as you can see by the pictures.

We make fire...Grunt Grunt

Me with Little Chief Break Sticks on my leg



Ok Daddy that flash is too bright for my little eyes



Woohoo light my fire honey

Now let me light yours :)


Chillaxin' by the fire



Have I mentioned that I love love love our new fire pit. We burned all the wood we had in our yard last night so we had to go out and get some today. But we didn't go far since we live in the woods we just headed down a trail with the wagons and filled each up. We will probably head out and get some more for the weekend. I think we will actually have some company to share our new pit with this weekend.

It's getting hot in here

Hubs and I worked on a little project today. I was actually suprised that world war 3 didn't occur. We worked fairly well together which is def out of the ordinary when it comes to projects like this. Ever since we went to a "bonfire" a week ago at some friends house I have been wanting a fire in our back yard. So we built ourselves alittle fire ring for our fire pit. This is so suburbia cliche being that we can't actually have an open flame and that we have to contain it in a pot. Anyways we made a fire tonight and I absolutely loved it. It was so relaxing and the kids hade fun watching the fire too. Look forward to hanging by the fire with friends and family.

Springing into our Break

Hubs and I both have Spring Break this week. We started out the break by heading over to Nederland for a few days. We took the kids to the Heritage Festival which is the home town carnival that happens every Spring Break. We saw alot of people we know. Even saw someone that I haven't seen in more than 8 years. Sad to say I couldn't not remember her name or place where I knew her and her husband until we got to talking. We always have a good time seeing people and how much our little town has changed or maybe it hasn't changed and we have. I know after spending a few days there we are so spoiled where we live. God bless Homeowner's associations and fees. I will never curse you again. However it is neat to see all the same ole people who have been around for ages and the community comradre. The hometown spirit hasn't died in that town. And neither has midrifts. I felt like I was surfing "The Shape of a Mother" website while walking around. These women wear their bellies loud and proud on the outside.











After we delighted ourselves on carnival rides and fried oreos, we headed out with the crew to BW3's and then downtown. We had a blast. I don't think I have danced that much since college. My main dance partner was my BIL, Kodean. He was a good sport hanging with his mommyfied SIL. We always have such a good time with the Hooders. And this time Mollster graced us with her presence. She is a hoot even though she drank water like a fish...literally.













After rolling in at a mere 4 am we rose and didn't much shine to get ready to head to Sugartown LA. Hubs' Nuna lives over there and we haven't seen her in over a year. It is always great to see her and especially see her looking so good. The kids loved roaming all over her house mostly looking and terrorizing her cat. Who might I add wasn't opposed to the kids at all. I think it is so neat to look at Hub's grandma and see so much of my mother in law. My MIL has been married for 35 years and not lived in her mother's house for that long and it is amazing how many similarities you see. Even their "grandmothering" tendencies are the same. It is really neat to observe how they both interact with our kids. I wonder if I am the same way with my mother. Anyway we headed back to Nederland for a much needed rest. We all camped out on the couches and watched a movie.










The next day, Monday, Hubs and I headed to our favorite salad and pizza joint. Then headed over to the mall or if that is what you call it. Since the storm things aren't quite the same. After browsing around for a while, we headed for home sweet home.

Spring Break Part 2 to come.

Guess I haven't really been in the blogging mood lately. Hubs and I are both extremely busy and ready to pull our hair out. He admittedly says that he bit off more than he can chew this semester. He is in all senior level classes which all require extreme amounts of time. He is taking 18 hours and watching the kids while I work atleast 50 hours a week.

What were we thinking???????

We have a week until we both get a break and get a chance to act like a normal family. We are going to go to his grandma's in LA next week. It has been over a year since we have seen her. So that will be a treat. We both need to see the eye doctor. This task is not a big deal to him but for me I would rather poke needles in my eyes. I HATE the eye doctor. It is such a horrible experience for a very indecisive person. "Which is better 1 or 2? or 3 or 4?" Are you kidding me they all look the same?!?!?!?! Then I hesitantly say 1 then I can sense the surprise in the doctor's response like I picked the wrong one. Whatever!!! Why can't they just have a machine that prescribes how blind I am. I really need new contacts and glasses. My contacts are going on 2 years old, I know my eyeballs are probably going to fall out or something. And my glasses are about 8 years old. I can barely see out of them they are so bad. I also need to go to the female doc as well during Spring Break. I would much rather go to him than the eye doctor. I know I am crazy but once you have had 2 kids your modesty is gone with the wind!!! And there are no decisions in that office to make. Well except one...birth control...yes or no? And that would be a HELL YES!!!! I am not ready to be mommy to 3 anytime soon. The rest of the time I hope to get the garage cleaned out and spring clean the house. I don't have time but to do the maintenance cleaning during the week. My shower is screaming at me to clean it and my floors could use a good power washing.

Well I have 5 more days until Spring Break. This is a great benefit of being a teacher these little built in vacations. We just hope to make it until next week we both have a daunting schedule this week and will be passing ships many of the nights.

Are you kidding me?????

Two hideous brass deer that hold one taper each. Guaranteed to enhance any side table or mantle with their sheer presence. Who wouldn't want these one of a kind, genuine, authentic pieces of crap...that's right no one and especially for the price of $35 for the pair

Someone on a local online garage sale is trying to rip someone off with these two deer candlesticks. I would love to meet the idiot who buys them!!!

Absentee

I know I have been absent from blogging this week. We had a very busy week with my work and hubs school. The kids spent the week at their g-parents. We spent the whole weekend hanging out with them. They will leave tomorrow again for their other g-parents and stay until Wednesday. I will be so glad when this semester is over so we can be together again as a normal family.

Here are some pics from this weekend.














I'm sure gonna hear it for this one.
