It's Wednesday....

Nothing special going on here. Well Nate and Meghan went to get a dryer. Other than that not much. I am hoping Kaden will nap soon. :)

Here is pictures from our garden. I haven't gone to take more pictures since all the rain we have been having. I am sure it is bigger now.
Here is before...


and after...


Here are a couple pictures of an Oklahoma spring... :)




and a cute pic of Meghan and Kaden

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all have a great day!

Mental Health Day

Well a couple of days actually. Nate decided we should go to Tulsa and hang out and have some fun for my Mother's Day gift. I told him he is just confirming suspicion that I am spoiled. HAHA He says I am not spoiled but he likes to try and spoil me. (awww) I tried to talk him out of it, saying it wasn't the most responsible thing we could be doing right now when we have other things to spend our money and time on but he wasn't listening. So we drove up and stayed. I got to go to Hobby Lobby and get my Secret Sister (or is it Scrapper?) her gift. I also found an awesome Christian bookstore/learning store. They have everything you need to teach your kids. I was in there for an hour at least before I made myself leave. I think I could be almost as addicted to teaching supplies as I am to scrap booking. I was able to look through a lot of curriculum too that I had heard about and not seen. It was nice and I think for next year I will have a few things to add to our schooling. :) I love teaching our kids!

We were able to go out to dinner last night and Ellie actually slept through most of it and wasn't screaming for the rest. So yay for that one. This morning I went to get my hair cut. (at the mall, long time since I have been in a mall) I am not sure I love it. It's really hard to get someone you like to cut your hair so I hate having to find someone new. Especially it seems for curly hair. Some people know how to cut it and others... well they just don't. I like the length but it seems a little blunt. Either way my hair grows really fast so I am sure it'll be fine. I'll enjoy messing with it a little more with it being shorter. You can tell I really need my highlights redone now though.

Other than that we are just hanging out. Nate went a got a few clothing items he needed. He really needed them too. He hardly ever will buy clothes for himself. He made breakfast this morning too. YUM He has actually been making breakfast just about every day since we had Ellie. I can only think of two days that he didn't make breakfast and we had bagels. He also shaved this week, finally. He's been on a 2 month strike I think. He wanted to let it grow just to see how long it could get and how it would feel. He got tired of it though and I am happy about that! Not a hairy man fan. LOL

Oh and he took me to get a new phone too. My old phone would no longer hold a charge. So I had to have it plugged in to the charger while using it. So I got a blackberry (a pretty red one)and I am now added onto his calling plan so we share minutes. So far I like it and it can do more than my other one. This is the first time I have had what they call a "smart" phone. One of the reasons I wanted it was for the GPS. When we start getting more involved with field trips and things out here that will come in handy.

Well I guess that's all for now. Tomorrow it will be back to reality for us. I guess he might spoil me a little bit once in a while huh. I don't mind. ;)

Book Giveaway

My friend Julia is having a book giveaway on her blog. Check it out!

Sweet As Punkin Pie

She is giving away a money saving book that looks really cool. I love this kind of book and we can all use money saving ideas and tips. Oh and the rest of her blog is fun too. :)

First haircut,bubbles and more...

Kaden had his first haircut. He didn't care for it but his hair did look better afterwards. We didn't get it too even because he would not stop trying to get away but it looked nicer anyways. A bonus is that he doesn't look too grown up which I was worried about. I pushed the haircut off for a while because of it. Ignore the hairy barber behind him. haha



Here is Ellie with my OB who delivered her. He is a great doctor, we really like him.


Kids and bubbles...





Ellie at 5 weeks.

Sleeping babies and Ellie's 1st bath

I do like pictures of babies sleeping. I know Kaden isn't really a baby anymore but I am putting his in here too. :)





Here is Ellie having her first bath. Well kind of. I could not get a picture of her in the bath because she screams the entire time, as soon as she is undressed. She hates taking a bath... So here is where she took her first bath.


Here she is all clean and out of that bath.


And here is how she really felt about it. I had to put her down and get her clothes on but she wasn't quite over being upset yet. :)

Some more pictures. :)

Here are some of Kaden...






Meghan working on her Pixos



Here are a few pictures for Papa.
This is the last snow I believe. It was on March 28th. It wasn't enough to stick or anything.


These I took special for you. I thought you would like to see your Grandson using a tractor. That is my brother Matt with him. They were digging a hole. The hole wasn't for anything farm like though it was for his satellite Internet pole. haha
