Easter weekend

Easter weekend Fred, Jenny, Kailyn, Carsyn and Luke came to visit us. We had a wonderful time! We didn't do too much. We mostly sat around visited, were entertained by the kids and watched movies. We were all packed for a picnic at Petit Jean and Carsyn came down with an earache. Jenny and I ended up at a clinic with him on Saturday. Thankfully the meds kicked in soon and he felt better by Easter Sunday. We had an Easter egg hunt on Sunday after church and then came home and had a photo shoot. These are a conglomeration of my pictures and Jenny's pictures. We miss you guys! Come back soon!

Happy 30th Birthday to Me!

It's so hard to believe that I'm 30! I don't know what I thought I would feel like at 30, but I still feel like I'm in my early 20's! Even though I kind of wanted to avoid this birthday, I had a lot of people that helped to make my it special.

Dad and Mom came down the weekend before my birthday and we had a great time. Mom had put together 30 presents for my 30th birthday and made delicious and adorable cupcakes. She also cooked all weekend which was the best present of all!

My 30 presents

We also got to celebrate with 2 of my 3 college roomies (missed you, Melissa!). We met up at Cozymel's (so yummy) and then headed to Angela and Jason's after dinner. The girls got me a cake and we had a great time!

These are the beautiful flowers my Valentine sent to me :)

{Feb 11: Kids Helping Kids}

The kids from church had an idea to raise money for St. Jude's. This was from their first meeting. They had raised $120!

Happy Birthday, Burke!

This weekend my college roommate, Ashley, had a 1st birthday party for her daughter, Burke. It was so adorable! Of course, I would expect no less from Ashley! The best part is that I got to see Ashley and Angela and their families. Unfortunately, Jeremy couldn't go because of work stuff, but we have a dinner planned soon for all of us and our hubbies. Now if only Melissa and John would move back to Arkansas... :)

Yummy cupcakes!

Still alive...

I'm sorry that I have been absent from my blogging lately. I don't have any excuse. I kind of just slacked on my daily pictures and my posting. So, I'll try to do the *few* daily pictures I took during my hiatus. But, just because I missed a week (or 2), I'm not going to give up on my daily pictures...I'm starting again!

{Feb 8: This is for the Birds...Literally}

When Jeremy threw bread out the door for the birds, Piper was quite upset. When we let her out, she let us know she wanted it instead!

{Feb 7: Superbowl Sunday}

{Feb 6: Boys and Their Toys

We got a new TV last night and Jeremy was so excited!

{Feb 5: Queen Andrea}

One of the girls from church was queened at her school Colors Day tonight. It was a fun night!

Feb 4: New 'Do}

My hair was not neccessarily supposed to turn out like this, but after a bad hair cut, I ended up going back to my hairdresser and having her cut off about 3 inches in an attempt to get rid of the mullet-look she had created. So, I don't love it and I don't hate it. I guess that's something.

{Feb 3: Leopard Freaky}

Only my college roommates will understand the "leopard freaky" thing, but anyone that knows me well knows I love shoes. These just happen to be favorite pair of shoes in the current rotation.

{Feb 2: Daily Reading}

This is definitely not my most flattering picture ever, but it documents my life right now. Jeremy snapped this picture of me while I was reading my Bible last night.

{Feb 1: My Honey}

You know when I said sometimes the picture of the day will be goofy...well this is one of those times. I realized it was 11:00, I was getting ready for bed and I hadn't taken a a picture. They can't all be good, right?

Outside our house this morning. Snow makes me happy!

Snow Day #2

Today we had our second snow day of the year. I think this one was actually a little more valid. We got ice, sleet, freezing rain and finally some snow. We had a wonderful, relaxing day. We ate pancakes, watched tv, Jeremy played Wii, I cleaned out a closet and made a project for church. Jeremy also made dinner. :) Here's a few pictures from our day:

Jeremy and Piper watching TV.

A church project I made today. The kids are raising money for St. Jude's. It's called Kids Helping Kids and was the ideas of one of the 6 year olds. So this is the big jug at church for collecting coins.
