Mother's Day

In Phoenix on Dre's Birthday

Where do I begin? It has been so long since I have updated our blog...we have just been so busy.

We went on a great family vacation to Phoenix for one of Dre's college friend's wedding. It was great to get away and get some sun. Both Dre and the kids were in the wedding so that definitely was an experience. Both kids made it down the aisle as flower girl and ring bearer. Conner just walked calmly up the aisle, which was a great surprise. Addy jogged down the aisle with all the flowers still in her hand. At the end of the aisle, Dre told her to throw the flowers so she threw them up in the air and walked over to them. They got a ton of swimming in, which was a great thing to make them sleep and Dre's god parents were so kind that they watched the kids three nights while we were down there so we could enjoy some adult time :-)

Mother's Day was a challenge, yet fun. The kids gave me a great necklace with their birthstones in it. Its beautiful. However, they both seemed to be a challenge that day. We had gone to church and then out to brunch with Dre's family and neither seemed to care that we were all suppose to be sitting down and eating....imagine that, 2 year olds not doing what you want. Anyway, the weather was terrible that day but I did manage to make it to the store to purchase flowers and vegetable seeds. Yep, that's right, I'm going to try (key word being try) to grow a garden. I pretty much just threw the seeds in the ground and planted the tomato plants, so we'll see.

Dre finished up with his high school swim team this weekend, they placed 3rd in state. I'm so glad to have that season over with, now he will be able to spend his weekends with us and helping me around the house :-) He also starts a new job on the 1st with Time Warner. This is the company he worked for before going to Hoff & Leigh, he will be in sales still, but will now have a base salary, which I'm thrilled about. It just adds a little more stability to our already crazy life.

Today was a great day (and busy)! We took a kids on a hike at Garden of the Gods park and then took a drive up to Manitu Springs. Someday, I do plan to get up that incline, I just never seem to be able to do it when others are going. It was a beautiful sunny 85 degree day here today so we spent the entire day outside. I got my windows (and we have a lot of them) washed and I also got a good start on marking stuff for a garage sale...yuck, I know.

We are heading to Arnold for Memorial weekend and then I'm out of town in Georgia for work. We are so looking forward to a great summer!
