Catching up on April...

We celebrated Mom's birthday at Bryan and Jenyse's house...
The kids formed a band, full of fairy wings, princess dresses, magic wand microphones, drums, horns and other various noise makers.  



It was quite the sight (and sound)...


 I made a chalkboard wall in our downstairs.  I thought it would be fun for the kids to play school or whatever with.  The right side of it is magnetic, also.  I wish I would have sanded off the texture first.  That way the chalk would write smoother.

This is how it turned out....
the kids love it!!!


Mom treated to a pedicure in April....what a treat!!!!



This is how Meghan rolls...

We were going to one of her brother's baseball games...
She's equipped with a book, her purse and a Gaterade!!!


Went to the Junk Jubilee at the fair grounds with Mollie and Julie...
the girls were less than enthused!!!


Chase brought this home from the neighbors...uh oh!!!!  
It looked like someone had a feather pillow fight in our front yard!!!
The chicken actually lived...the dog - barely!!!


Cow Whisperer informed me that he will NOT be referred to as the "chicken whisperer"!!!
For those of you who might not know...I have been bugging him about getting chickens for a couple of years now.  It has really become a joke...to him...NOT ME!!!  I am serious!!!

The bad news is I have Meghan on my side!!!  Hee Hee!!!  
I don't think he will be able to withstand her pleads!!!

I will say, however, this episode did not bode in my favor!!! 


Our extremely understanding neighbors sent us home with 2 dozen beautiful brown eggs!!!  
They are so sweet!!!


These girls think it is a blast to dress alike...Oh the fun of elementary school and good friends!!!


The kids and I planted A WHOLE BUNCH of potatoes one Wednesday evening...used muscles I haven't used in a very long time!!!


Meghan picked some violets for her momma...


EASTER!!!  Dressing up, wonderful church program, Nana's house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt with the cousins...it was a great day!!!
Celebrating our Risen Lord!!!

Bike a thon at the school....the three kids and I all rode 5 miles...It was a beautiful day!!!!




Aunt GG celebrated her 90th birthday.  Alan, Jane, Jory and I all took her 
to the Greenbriar for a lovely dinner.  
(Pardon the terrible photo...I was using my iPhone and it was very dark in there)

Aiden playing baseball with the Marlins...he's having a great time!!!

I came home from work one evening completely unprepared to see my pantry dimantled and all.over.the.kitchen!!!!  My dear husband dug right in to our pantry redo and it really came together quite quickly, after a little paint and some new shelves.  It is much easier to see what I have now...no more 5 bottles of ketchup or four boxes of spaghetti.  
The kids can get to their lunch supplies easily!!!


One row for chili supplies, one row for soups, one row for, well, you get the drift!!  Unbelievable transformation of my everyday life with just this one project!!  Morning routine, grocery shopping, making dinner, etc....THANKS CW!!!  I love you bunches!!!!

The girls got their hair cut...and I mean cut...we did a little of bit of layers and little bit of bangs...
Thanks Abby O. at Hair MD in Indianola!!!!




 I apologize now for the mediocre photos, but if I tried to take the perfect picture and edit it in the perfect fashion and then try to blog it....I would NEVER get this done...

The priority is documenting life and sharing it...but most of all remembering it....

Next post.....MAY!!!!
