- Easter & spring break. We had Easter at our house this year again. It was not however without drama ( what family get together ever is). It started when about 3 weeks before Easter when we were TOTALLY broke(what else is new) that our oven stopped working. We had a guy come look at it & he said he couldn't fix it. Well I managed to get by cooking with the stove top which still worked ,the crock pot & my new George foreman but I was not going to be able to cook the ham in any of those so it was now the Thursday before Easter and we had to go buy a new oven. Thankfully it came in time and it worked!!! Then of course there was an incident with my mother in law and my aunt which resulted in my aunt driving all the way back to hemet after she just got to my house and from what I hear she's still mad at me!!! UHGGGG! But despite the drama & the economic difficulties of the Easter bunny we had a good day. We ate, the kids played with my cousins and as far as I could tell everyone who was there had a good time. We went to my Grandmas in Desert Hot springs for 2 days and of course we went on the 2 days that it was 50 degrees outside so the kids couldn't go swimming :( The day after we got back we went to Legoland with my mom. It was perfect weather for that place. Sunny but not to hot!! The kids LOVE that place!! It was crowded because it was spring break but the longest line we waited in was 45 mins. the rest went pretty fast & we got on everything we wanted to do. Marcus is finally tall enough to get on all but 2 rides now so he had a blast!!! It was a busy spring break but it was fun!!!
-Angels game with Daddy!!!
So as I've mentioned before most Thursday nights are "Mommy's Night Off". I leave when JR gets home and he usually takes the kids to eat then they come home get ready for bed & watch TV. Well Last week JR came home and told the kids to get ready to go he was taking them to an Angels game. Needless to say I was a little shocked!! He didn't have free tickets or anyone going with him, he was just going to the game by himself with the kids!!! I was soo proud of him for making the effort especially since I knew the kids would get bored after the 1st 1/2 hour and would be constantly asking for everything!! Which they did but it was a good memory for them and it was free hat night so they all got Angels baseball hats!!!
-Mothers Day
This year mothers day was Bonnies birthday too so we combined the 2 celebrations. We originally were going to go to dinner at a restaurant but every place was going to be packed so we decided to do dinner @ my moms house instead. It was mothers day so my mom & I didn't want to cook & since it was her birthday neither did bonnie which left it to the guys so.... BBQ it was!!! We ate & had homemade strawberry shortcakes for desert & just hung out. The kids played football in the front yard with Bonnie & Chad. It was a nice relaxing day!! I got to sleep in until 10 am, JR brought Jailyn to her church class and brought me breakfast in bed back!! I also got a massage GC!!! Massages, Good Food & Sleeping in!! Mother's day ROCKS!!!!
-Jailyns Play
Well after 3 months of rehearsals and constant singing in the house from the time she got up until she went to bed Jailyn finally had her performances. She was in 7 shows over the 2 weekends 5 of them as her "lead" part as a daisy. At first I was worried going into the 1st week of shows because she had rehearsal until 9pm every night that week, then a show Friday & Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Then the next weekend she had a show Friday Morning & Friday night. Saturday afternoon & Saturday night!! But she never did anything but smile and dance & sing. She just LOVED it!!! She would leave after the shows @ 10pm and she would be talking a mile a min and just on cloud nine!!! We are hoping to be able to afford to sign her up for the summer show because she wants to do it, but like everything Jailyn does it's a little pricey. :(
Well I think this is long enough for today!! Be sure to check out the posts below this one because I posted like 4 of just pictures!!! I will TRY to be back soon!! Love you all!!!
