Still alive and kicking

I am totally enjoying being home with the girls. We are starting to get into a routine so maybe I'll find a little time to blog. Let us hope once a week. I have a lot to catch everyone up on..so i hope you are patient.

May 10th Our 5th Anniversary!

Thanks to family and friends, Blake and I were able to have a grown up weekend. First off we went to the Roof for an awesome dinner. Yummy!!

Blake surprised me with a dozen roses it was really nice. After dinner we went back to our hotel and watched a bunch of movies. It was a really nice weekend. The next morning we were running a little late so instead of breakfast in the hotel we stopped at McDonalds on the way to get the kids. While sitting there talking, a big guy came walking in...it was..

Big T~Thurel Bailey. (sp?) He used to play for the jazz. He was there with his little boy. It was pretty cool. This is the best picture I could get of him...thanks to everyone that made this weekend happen.

May 11 Mothers Day

Blake had to work so we had our gift opening the day before. I got a great picture and some willow tree figures. Love it. Here is Kunka trying to do the dishes for me. I love being a mom. And I love my own mom.

May 18 My 37th Birthday

Again, Blake had to work but he did get off early for our little family bbq. It was also my brothers birthday on the 17th. Ever since I was 5 years old, Jeff and I have pretty much celebrate our birthdays together. We had Pulled Pork sandwhiches with awesome side. Of course we had tons of yummy food.

These are the only two pictures that I took of the party...I know not much to show.

After the party, it was time for me to open my gifts. My poor husband has it bad..he has our anniversary, moms day and my birthday all in the same weekend. I am so lucky...I got everything I wanted. I got a MP3 Player

A new Electrixc Skillet (I used my other one until it died. LOVE THEM)

And a Garden Gnome. (from the girls)

It was a really wonderful day!

May Flowers bring Rain Showers
I love flowers! I think I get it from my Mom and Dad. But flowers make me happy. Especially in my yard. This last week I have been busting butt weeding trying to get my yard ready for summer. Its been so nice to get out in the dirt with the warm weather. I've taken a few pics of my yard.

The Gnome in his new home

Emily playing in the pool. First day of swimming

Here are all the girls enjoying the pool.

Here is our front yard. I think if you click on the pic you can see it up close.

The girls have thier own flower pots that they get to water every day. They all chose to put Petunias in their pots.

Lilly and her new Swimming suit. I think she loves it.

I LOVE Gerber Daisies.

Our back patio. (don't look at the dead Dog Grass...we are trying to regrow that)

Back Deck.

Front Yard again. Its so fun to have a place to enjoy and relax. As soon as we finished the yard its been raining. We really need it and it will help our flowers grow.

I'll try to keep up my blogging so I don't have to have such long blogs.

Hope everyone is doing well.
