More Easter pics...

Our Easter weekend....

No pics for a while

I will not be able to post any pictures for a little while; we are getting our computer seen about...for some reason it is not running great. Anyway....I will post some pictures as soon as we get it back. Hopefully sometime over the weekend.

here goes...

Rules: List 5 things you do....

A. for yourself

B. for your spouse, child, or closest friend

C. for a stranger



A. 1. work in the flower beds...it's a stress reliever and it makes me feel good to have a pretty yard

2. blog...it's really fun and I enjoy reading and keeping up with people; some that I don't even know! I hope that's not weird.

3. Reading...we have just started a book club and I'm really excited about it! first book--Anne of Green Gables (anyone interested let me know!)

4. Shop...when I can afford it!

5. Drive with the windows down and listen to music loud!



B. 1. Take care of Anne...Michael helps, of course, but I would say that I am the head honcho

2. Clean the house, cook dinner most nights, do all the laundry.

3. Manage our finances somewhat...

4. Make important phone calls...Michael hates talking on the phone to people he doesn't know.

5. Anything I can think of to bless my family! I love them so much and I would be in the depths of despair without them.



C. 1. Wave/speak/smile to passerbyers

2. try to bless people that I know are in need by lending a helping hand

3. donations to salvation army etc...

sorry...I can't think of five...I feel like i'm starting to boast unintentionally...

Spring Break Fun.....

so....this spring break has been filled with good times so far! We started the week off with another trip to the Hattiesburg Zoo with the fam, which was great! Anne had a really good time seeing all the animals and riding the train and carousel. The rest of the week has been pretty low key with time at home and working in the yard, YAY!!! We finally got my new flower beds made. Anne has been a trooper...I think she played in her playpen for about 1-2 hours. I have really enjoyed the week with her. She is very close to walking, but still not quite got her balance to totally take off on her on. I'm thinking days here...

What's going on???
Hey...this is pretty fun!

hanging out at Granny and Papa's

going to the zoo....again!
Papa and Anne
The whole fam...

Thanks for the great blanket you made Nana!!

Where's my nose???

It's finally here!!!!!!!!

SPRING BREAK!!!!
I thought I would never make it to this point in the school year, but it's finally here and I'm am so excited. Hopefully we will have lots of relaxing family time this week and get a few projects done in the yard...maybe I'll finally get another flower bed :)
Anne is saying some new words lately...Uh-oh and good day...It is so fun to hear her try to repeat what we are saying. She is like a little parrot!
She ended up having to go back to the doctor this week because of fever. It was like 100.8. I knew it couldn't be her ears since she was already on an antibiotic for that....well it was still her ears. They even bumped up her appointment with the ENT. He told us to wait this infection out to see how she does, but if it doesn't clear up by the time we go back or if it does and she gets another one pretty soon we'll have to have tubes. I'm really ok if we have to get them, because I'm afraid it's going to mess up her hearing if we don't do something about all of these infections she's having...it's always something! Well, happy spring break to everyone whom it applies and everyone else have a great week too! I'll try to post some pictures soon as we make memories this week!

Zoo Fun!!!

This weekend we decided to take a trip to the zoo since the weather was so beautiful! It was a picture perfect day...I mean the park was packed with families barbequeing, children playing on the playground, kids throwing footballs...and this was to be Anne's first visit to the zoo! I felt like I should be in a movie. I was actually very impressed with Hattiesburg's zoo, now it was definitely not New Orleans, but it was a good little zoo. Anne was kind of cranky the whole time and much more interested in the other children than the animals, but as soon as we got on the carousel she was all smiles! She loved it, and of course our camera died right before this, thus no pictures except on my phone :( She was so happy for those five short minutes, though, which made the whole trip worthwhile. We decided we would have to go back for another carousel ride to get some pictures!
