MFT Part 2: Reese's Cremes

If anyone out there is a peanut butter lover, may I happily suggest these tasty little treats...

I LOVE these! I keep them down in my scrapbook room as a reward for 'me' time. And oh my goodness I need 'me' time! :) Just wanted to share a little indulgence! Happy day!!

Easter

I am finally getting around to posting about Easter. I had the kids for the whole weekend, which was absolutely wonderful. Once the kids and Clay woke up they found their Easter bags full of goodies.

Then we went down to Grandma and Grandpa's and had our traditional egg hunt. The three girls were so excited, Conner, not so much. Next year we will have to leave the party pooper out!

Grandma had baskets full of stuff for all the grandkids as well!

All of the crazy kids!

The easter bunny even left me a purse, some shoes and some candy at moms! Lucky me!!!

MFT (My Favorite Things) Part 1: Jaws

I decided that I would start blogging about some of MFT (my favorite things). These things are completely random and silly. But I wanted to share some of the things that I love!! So for MFT Part 1, may I introduce you to Jaws...

After the old Hoover exploded just before Christmas and I thought I would have to go out and dump a couple hundred dollars into a new vacuum, Clay reminded me that his Kirby vacuum was in the basement but it probably wasn't going to be good enough for me. How rude??? He brought it upstairs, changed the bag and I went to work! Oh my goodness!!! I fell in love!!! This magnificent piece of equipment has changed my life! Who cares about a little duct tape accessory?? I have since put 'Jaws' to work and it has been a weekly ritual that I look forward to! Thank you for making my house look spic and span!! Thank you! Thank you!!

Playdate at McDonalds

A couple weeks ago I took Courtney, her friend Presley, Hadley and Kenzlie to McDonalds for dinner and to play. Of course I had the camera in toe and captured our evening with some cute photos of these cute girls! They were so good and played really well together!! Thanks little ladies for a fun dinner date!

Teacher Appreciation

This past week was teacher appreciation at school. Unfortunately, Courtney's teacher, Mrs. Kaufman had her baby on Monday so she wasn't there last week. We are so excited for her and her new baby boy, but Courtney misses her so much! Every day she asks me when Mrs. Kaufman will be back to school. I hate to tell her that she may not be back, but hopefully she will be able to make an appearance before school gets out for the summer. Courtney LOVES Mrs. Kaufman and looks forward to school each and every day. I must admit that I think she is pretty fantastic myself! Courtney has learned so much this year and is excelling in every subject! Thank you Mrs. Kaufman for being a wonderful teacher to my sweet Courtney, for teaching her so many valuable things and for being her favorite!

Happy Mother's Day

I wanted to give a shout out to the BEST mom in the whole world! My mom! She definately doesn't get the credit she deserves. She does so much for me. She gives great advice, is the greatest example, the most wonderful grandma, mends all our clothes, has the quickest wit of anyone I know. All of these things and so much more are why I love her so much!! I don't know where I would be without my sweet mom and I don't tell her enough how much I love and appreciate her. I love that I live so close and can go to her with anything I could possibly need. She is always there for me and never makes me feel like I am bothering her. My kids go to her house everyday after school and she takes care of them until I get home from work. It's so nice not to have to worry about them and know they are somewhere where they are loved. She even gives my sisters and I a mothers day gift! How sweet is that?? Thank you mom, for everything that you do for me. I love you!!
