Hoppy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend this year! Matt and I went to the James Taylor concert on Friday night (thanks Gramma and Grampa for keeping our kiddos), Abby and Johnny's birthday party on Saturday, and BBQ and swimming on Sunday afternoon! The weather was so pretty all weekend too!!

Dying eggs was fun...and messy! We moved our project outside, and I was very glad we did. We ended up with food coloring/water/vinegar all over the table, our hands, and Taylor's shirt. We had fun until someone decided to throw the eggs like a ball to Winnie...they cracked and we cried! We know better for next year!

Happy Birthday Abby and Johnny!

Today we celebrated Abby and Johnny's Birthday at Pump It Up! EVERYONE had a blast, even the adults! All the kiddos ran around for two hours playing, jumping, sliding, and racing! It was such a neat place for a kids birthday party...heck, would be a cool place for an adult party too!! Abby and Johnny, you have pretty cool parents for letting you have such a neato party!! Thanks for letting us be a part of it!! Happy Birthday!!

My babies and our 'Tweet Tweet'!!

While turning on the water to give our dry, yellow grass a drink Matt found a small bird's nest in a bush in our front yard. The nest has a five small eggs, some blue ones, and some pink ones! Anybody know anything about bird eggs?? What bird lays eggs that could be blue or pink?? This bird also likes to poop on our rear view mirrors on both our cars...just one side, but it poops a lot then smears it a little on the window...NASTY!
...And here are some pictures of my babies!

Kidney Stones and Taylor's 2nd Birthday!

I'm very late posting this, but oh well!! This month has just gone way too fast! I was dealing with kidney stones (once again) for about the last two weeks. I just plain hurt for a couple days thinking I could 'pass' the stone on my own, after a few days, I realized that wasn't going to happen. A CT scan revealed I had a 1cm stone that was too big! I had lithotripsy done on Monday to 'blast' the largest stone into smaller parts! First time I've ever been 'knocked out' for surgery, so I was a little nervous. It turned out to be very easy and now I'm feeling much better!! Thank goodness we have wonderful grandparents and Susie to help out with the girls while I wasn't feeling so great! No pictures of any of that :)!

Earlier this month we had a small party for Taylor with family and a few friends! The weather turned out nice and the kiddos were able to play outside most of the time!! Matt got to use his new BBQ pit and smoked a little bit of everything!! We had a blast! Thank you to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us!!
