EGG-Cellent!!

The boys and I decorated Easter eggs on Tuesday night here at the house and they went to Muzzy's this morning to help her decorate her eggs. Triston had a ball, this was the first year that he really understood what he was supposed to do. Trenton on the other hand.....well needless to say none of his eggs made it back into the cartons!! He was so mad the first night that we dyed eggs that he pretty much cried the whole time. All he wanted to do was to squash the eggs in his hands.

Triston was all smiles as he dyed his eggs!

Trenton started off to a good start, but.......

The boys working together to make some pretty eggs.

He didn't end up very good!! This poor egg.

Triston decorating at Muzzy's. Muzzy saved the little eggs for the boys. That was a very good idea, even Trenton did a much better job.

Hippty Hoppty Easters on its Way!!

After church today we went to Winchester to try and find Easter outfits, which was no luck, and the boys got a chance to tell the Easter Bunny what treats they wanted. Both boys jumped up on his lap with no hesitation and Trenton couldn't stop waving at the ladies taking the pictures.

Big Hero in a Little Body!!

I am sure that some of you are aware but some may not be. There is an eigth grader at our school who was diagnosed with leukemia a couple of months ago and times have been real tough for the whole family. McKenzie is an extraordinary young lady. My heart has been weighed heavily by this situation and I ask that you all keep little McKenzie and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Friday night our school held a student versus faculty basketball game to raise money for McKenzie and her family. I am so pleased to say that they raised over $5000 and that we, the geriatrics, WON!!!!!!

It was a great night! Filled with thousands of emotions. The audience was surprised when McKenzie made an appearance at the game. She sat in the balcony with her family because she can not risk getting sick. It was so wonderful to see this young girl who has so much reason to be miserable just smile so big! One of her good friends sang Rascal Flats song "Skin" and that was about all I could take and I got a little shook up, but who wouldn't. It was a very humbling experience to be able to say that I participated in such a great benefit. It you get the chance check out McKenzie's website and you will see just what I am talking about. http://www.mckenzieleigh3.webs.com/

WON!!!!!



Michele is fired up and ready to kick butt!!

Jeff is chilling ready to get it on!!

Pep talk from our coach!

DID I MENTION THAT WE WON!!!!!!!!!!! 50-36 (I think)

Beautiful Flowers

I just wanted to show everyone of the wonderful job that a gentleman from mom's church did on my flower arrangement. He is helping out with Mandi's wedding and I threw in a few for myself. I figured that since I can't ever keep anything real alive long enough to enjoy I better stick with the silk!

CHECK OUT MY NEW HAIRCUT!!

Josh took Triston and Trenton out to lunch on Friday and stopped by Jill's to get Trenton's hair trimmed. Triston had just had a trim but decided that it need touched up for the girls. Those were his exact words. Josh tried to get Trenton's head sheared liked Triston but he wouldn't sit still.

A TOUCH OF SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was nice to have a little sunshine in the air. We got the boys out for a little fresh air and some much needed "run" time. I think that we all have had a touch of cabin fever. I don't know if it is here to stay. What is the old saying...In like a lamb out like a lion or is it the other way around... IDK! (Just trying to stay up on my IM~OMG!)















Trenton is happy as can be running around!!! I
know the hat is a little, ok a lot, big.











The boys had a great time playing on the swing set. The weather was nice. And the kids needed to get out and burn off some of the built up energy. If this is just a touch of what spring will be like, I am ready and all for it. Bring it on!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!!!!

Today, Sunday February 24th, is Beth's birthday. We leave out the number of years but each year is great year of friendship for me!! We spent the day at the spa and we received facials and a pedicure. This was my first spa experience and I have to say that I will be going back. It was so relaxing and peaceful. After the spa we ran a few errands and then got dressed and met Emma and Tammy at IJCanns. This was also a first and it was nice. The appetizers was a little deceiving, but the drinks and drinks and drinks and steak were great!!! We had a great time and I hope that Beth enjoyed her 29 again, again, etc... (Just kidding) birthday!
