Easter, Birthdays, and Retirement!

We had a great Easter. My friend Heather provided my kids with a wonderful easter basket(cause she knew I wouldn't get to it!) They did LOTS of tatooing that day!

Nate's Birthday is the 28th and mine is on the 31st, so Matt combined our birthday party! It was great, Nate got A LOT of GI Joe stuff, and I got what I have been wanteing for a LONG time! a Laptop! I love matt :-) he hhe he

We went to my sister Angies house in Maryland this past week, My kids always have so much fun when they are there, here they are making Cramel Apples! (only Aunties have the patience for that sticky mess!)

My Brother in Law Tim is retiring from the navy after 23 years in (I think it is 23, might be more!) And we had the great pleasure of being there for his mini ceremony, It was excelent, very emotional. Congratulations Tim!

Funny Faces :-)

This is Anrianna's new puppy Auntie Angie gave her, she calls her diskie.

Snuggles with Auntie Angie, she came to watch the kids for us while I went to a training conference in Tenessee

Great breakfast treat with Auntie Angie! yum yum! (only aunts and grandparents can get away with this!)

Fun in the warm weather.

Matt went over to mom and dad's to get our riding lawn mower, and DROVE it home!! it was so funny watching him come down the road on that thing! (the pics are not great, my friend heather took them, and I forgot to tell her it was on "manual"!) oops!

It has been BEAUTIFUL here.....hence why I have not been posting every day! The kids are loving it, I have had my windows and doors open, and it just feels so good.
Here in a couple of pics you will see Arianna's favorite attire.......

Today was a beautiful day, and yet I still ended up taking pictures in the house!! whatever....

The kids came home from being at nana's house and HAD to ALL take their shirts off! crazy kids...
