A day at the park

                     This was Marcus at karate...they got to spar.  He had a lot of fun.

                         It has been so nice this week.  The kids have been off for Spring Break.  This was actually on Mac's b'day.  We went to the library, then the park to feed the ducks.

                                 

                              We are having a fun week !!!!!

Happy 11th Birthday Mackenzie!!!!

                     Last night after we got home from gymnastics we let Mac have some of her ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins...Brownie, chocolate, chocolate!

                                                       YUMMO!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                  VERY RICH!!!!!!!!!!  :)

                                                   Father/ Daughter....

           Good morning birthday girl!!!!!!!!!!  I got her, her favorite strawberry/banana smoothie from McDonalds :)  11...I can't believe it!!!  

Crocheted Flowers

                         How cute are these little flowers...it only takes me a few mintues to whip one of these out...im thinking of making little headbands with these...

                  

Spring Break

                   We had a garage sale last weekend and finally got rid of Mackenzie's old dresser...lets just say it had a baby changing station attached to it; so that should let you know how old it was...so now most everything will have to hang up, because she is going to be without a dresser til we move this summer...so for now she has a vanity where her dresser was. There are a few small drawers her socks and other things can go in; we also gave her a wall mirror for part of her birthday, so now she has 2 mirrors.  Can't believe our little girl will be 11 in 2 days...

             I cooked these spareribs in my dutch oven today...oh my goodness!  They just fell off the bone.  So good!

                Uh...this has a special name  "Poo in a pot"....hamburger with a taco packet, then add velveeta, rotel, extra green chiles and dive in with your favorite chip...a margarita goes well with it...it may not look pretty, but it hits the spot when you want a dip.

                         Marcus and I were playing with Copper...I took a picture of him...

                                      ....and he took a picture of me...I think he was zooming in and out when the pic finally snapped....

McTeacher Night and Salon photos

             McTeacher night was last week...im so far behind in just about everything right now...this is the Dysart Eagle...you go to McDonalds and buy food and support your school.  They do it a couple times a year..

                              Mac got a burger and proceeded to roam around looking for her friends...

                                                    Marcus showed his support....

                               Heather ordered a Marilyn poster...LOVE IT!!!!!

                        Dont you love the cute little saying above the poster.....

                               Heather is so good at adding little touches that make our place so perfect :)

                           We added the shelf to store water and our cleaning supplies below..

                            We also got a damask bulletin board..here we will post pictures and recipes :)

                               Did I mention we are very girlie??  :) :)  Dont you just wish you had a pair of these high heels  :)

Putting Amici Bella together

                  Today the kids went with me to the suite to meet Heather.  We had to put up border and paint a wall.  The border is a damask style...and it looks so pretty next to the curtains that Heather's mom made for us.  You can also see the beading we have on one of our windows.

   You can see the little wall we needed to paint wasn't very big, but we quickly discovered that dark paint takes more than 2 coats...we actually have to go back tomorrow to put the final coat on.

                           In case some of you weren't sure who my partner was...,this is Heather.  We have so much fun together  and are looking forward to our future at Amici Bella :)

                                 The kids were soooo good I had to reward them.  We went to Cold Stone.  Mackenzie got Birthday Cake Remix...it did taste just like birthday cake :)

                            Marcus got Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip.....they were both really good and we had leftovers to bring home for later! :)

Pinewood Derby Races

                          Today was the Pinewood Derby Races...Marcus' car was called Blue Lightning and although he didn't do as well as last year, he still had fun. 

                      They did give trophy's this year for participating.....

                                Dad's got to build cars too.  Mitch made the Deathmobile from the movie Animal House...everyone loved it!

                                              Dad's have just as much fun as the boys!
