Sorry for the delay!

Things have been crazy around here since Easter. Spring break was fun and it was nice having Jo-Jo home all to myself for a week. I actually took all three kids to a movie BY MYSELF!! I'm so proud of them. The Daughter and Jo-Jo did great and Bubba slept through 3/4 of the show. We saw Monsters Versus Aliens the 2D version. It was a great movie!

I've also been able to pick up a few extra shifts at work...so Ms. Nights here has worked Days. WOW! What a difference. Things move so much faster when all the doctors and higher-ups are milling around. They were good shifts though and I had a good crew to work with. That makes all the difference.

The Daughter is getting ready for her first Dance Showcase, which will take place in June. The dance is Sleeping Beauty. Her little costume is sooooo cute!! Today she had her pictures at the studio, so we meandered to a kiddie hair salon where she got her make-up expertly applied and her hair in an adorable bun. I wasn't allowed to take pictures at the studio and she put on and took her costume off there...so all I have is some "after" pictures to share of her makeup and hair.

Bubba is crawling all over the house now. I found him in the bathroom the other day making a toilet paper tower. He also fell down two stairs when he thought he could master those too. Luckily I think mostly his pride was bruised and he got scared. He loves to stand at the coffee table and then walk all around it holding on.

Jo-Jo is laying low now that hockey season is done. We've signed him up for swim lessons for the summer since he is kind of afraid of the water. We are also signing him up for a reading program and a few weeks of hockey camp. He will have a busy and hopefully fun summer.

So here are some pictures from Easter and such....sorry it took me so long!!

The Daughter shows off her 'dance' make-up.

Bubba chillin' in his highchair...

Trying for that perfect Easter picture...

Still trying...

Still trying...

Finally realizing this is the best it is going to get with three kids...

Going for that elusive Easter Egg...

The Daughter finds an egg...

Jo-Jo finds an egg too...hope it's not in a nest!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting us for a bit! Hope your spring is going well!!

It would've been 39 years...


My parents would have been married 39 years today. Even though my dad is remarried I always call him and wish him a happy Anniversary on this date...

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad.

Easter Prep

So Friday we decided to color our Easter eggs. We got out the mugs, added the vinegar and water and carefully dropped one color tablet into each mug.



(Yikes, ignore the mess going on behind the kids!)





It was a lot of messy fun!!

The Future Girlfriend Picture...

I'm saving this one for the first girlfriend he brings home that I don't like...


Actually I'm quite proud of Jo-Jo...he actually put the Nintendo down to play something his sister wanted to play for once. Go Barbie!!

A New Season...


Okay, my husband is ADDICTED to 'Rescue Me'. I tease him about his "soaps" being on. I've tried watching it a few times...and it's offensive!! It takes a LOT to offend me too. Oh well, here is to a new season of rushing the kids off to bed so my hubby can settle down in front of the TV Tuesday nights and watch his program. He really doesn't ask for much...

Oh, and even though the show is not one of my favorites...I LOVE the song at the beginning enough to add it to my playlist here on my blog. It's C'mon C'mon by The Von Bondies.

Portraits

We had the kids portraits done a week ago since Bubba turned 1. I think they turned out pretty good considering we were in and out of the actual photography area in less than 10 minutes. It was BUSY!!

An ode to Jo-Jo

Since I've been feeling like I've been neglecting my oldest with pictures, this post is all about him! A few weekends ago Jo-Jo and his dad took off up north for a hockey tournament called Monsters on Ice. Jo-Jo did great and scored a goal!! Here are some of the pictures we got of him in action.











It was a great way to wrap up Jo-Jo's first hockey season!!

Now appearing on Facebook!

So in the last few days I've actually learned how to use Facebook...and I LOVE it! It is kind of fun. I get to chat with friends I haven't seen in awhile and friends I talk to every day. If you haven't tried it yet, you should!! So far I have a few friends...14 to be exact, but I haven't really had time to search for others yet.

Here's some "newer" pics of the gang. I've been trying to download them to my computer sooner rather than later...







Before you accuse me of being a bad mother...Jo-Jo is often at school when I bust out the camera...and I know I have to work on that.
