29th Birthday

I have officially less than a year now to live it up before I am the much dreaded 30.. my birthday was a blast though. Since the day was on Sunday we did the celebrating on the weekend, we started with going to Pizza factory with his family. Saturday Brett had some surprises that didn't happen because he was in a car accident earlier that day (he was fine) although he did still surprise me with getting a babysitter and we went to Melting Pot and did some shopping. Sunday I received Breakfast in bed some capri jeans and a IPOD touch. Other presents were Hobby Lobby gift card, Tai Pan gift card, a cricket and cartridge, money enjoying lunch with friends and more!!! Thanks all for a great birthday!!

Grandma and Grandpa Easter Party

Milly had a great time at this party since she could take her sweet old time (and she did). Grandma assigned colors for each kid and one color a free for all egg. The adults enjoyed a hunt as well. Not to brag but I did find the most eggs!!! We had such a fun morning doing hunts and than enjoying lunch with his family.

Syracuse Easter Egg Hunt

Not as good as Clintons but still a good time. They had older kids in Millys division so Milly pretty much just hung out and watched these kids grab all the eggs.

Clinton City Easter Egg Hunt

I loved Clintons hunt it was so organized and just perfect. They had an age group of 0-11 months so it was just perfect for her. To start the hunt a huge fire truck sounded the alarm and as you can imagine great for kids not so great for babies lets just say my Wide eyed Milly came out, while most of the other babies cried. All the other hunts ended in seconds before this group even did anything, Kids would walk bye confused and ask their parents "Why aren't those kids getting the eggs and candy"??? So after about 5 minutes bigger kids came and started taking the eggs and candy so we gathered some for Milly and that was it. SUPER FUN!!!

East Egg Decorating

So the kids dont come over and decorate cookies anymore becuase the year I had them come over and do that it was the biggest mess of my life, I still found sprinkles the day we sold that house. So needless to say this lasted all of 2 minutes. I am trying to be a good mom and let Milly do things but I cant stand the mess kids make. AS you can see in the one picture she toss the eggs and spilled all except for 2 colors. So when Brett and I went to finish that night we didn't have much of a color choice to choose from.

Kristies Easter Party

She is a little afraid of grass and doesn't like it touching her!
I love how Spencer is peeking, all the kids were waiting on Milly since she is the youngest she gets to go first!!

Of all the parties Kristie has this one is my new favorite. She feed us dinner and than had a children's hunt and an adult hunt. It was fun to watch Milly have something to do and for a chance for Brett and I to have some fun as well. Thanks My family loved it!!

Happy Mothers Day MOM!!!

Thank You for Everything.....
For loving me
Sacrificing for me
Putting my needs before your own
Cheering me on
Encouraging me
Raising me
Most of all for being the mom you were, I have never doubted in a decision on what you would want me to do as I saw you raise teenagers and young adults I learned so when I got to that point I knew exactly the advice you would give or what you would have me do. That is why I am most thankful I am the youngest in the family so I could see how you raised teenagers in such critical times in life. I miss you still all the time, but I know your time on earth was complete you taught us all and had finished your course. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
