Time to catch up.....

So I've been bad about posting again - time to catch everyone up!

We did go camping the weekend before Easter. I think it'll be much more fun when the weather cooperates. Maddie & I spent A LOT of time inside the camper. She was getting over cold #2 (she's now on cold #3) and I didn't want to take the chance of having her outside in the cold and then her getting even sicker. The guys spent most of the weekend freezing at the race track. In fact, Friday night they came back to the campground before it was over with because they were so cold! Kiegan was lucky and got to hang out with us girls (me, Maddie, Nicole and Ashleigh). We played a lot of cards and Nicole was even able to get a fire going so some marshmallows could be roasted. We woke up Sunday morning and it was pouring rain! So when it let up a bit, we packed everything up and came home.

Easter weekend was great! Maddie was finally over her cold, but by the end of the day she was sneezing and coughing again. Of course because she's growing so much - she no longer fit into the cute Easter outfit I had that even had a fuzzy bunny tail on her fanny. But Lord knows she had plenty of other outfits to pick from! The food was awesome and I think I just kept snacking and snacking on stuff as I would walk by. After everyone was done eating, the Easter bags were all hidden outside around the yard for the kids to find. They came home with enough candy to re-fill our candy drawer and Maddie came home with some SUPER cute clothes including some little skorts that Travis says are "too short". :o) Now if the weather would just cooperate and stay warm enough for her to wear her cute clothes!

This past weekend we had a night out with friends to celebrate a birthday. Kiegan & Maddie stayed with Mamaw while we went with a group of about 12-14 people to Bloomington for dinner at Alexander's. Travis & I had never been there before, but we loved it! Afterwards, we went to Donnie B.'s Funny Bone Comedy Club and we laughed till it hurt. We had the best time! We got to my mom's about 10:15 or so to pick up Maddie (Daddy says she can't spend the night anywhere for at least a couple of years) and home we went! It was nice to have a kid-free night with our friends.

Kiegan starts baseball this week! His first practice is suppose to be tonight at 5:30, but we'll see if the weather holds out or not. I hope it does because he is VERY excited! This coming weekend will be busy as usual. Friday night is the Drawdown Dinner & Dance for St. Mary's at The Elk's Club. Cross your fingers that we win the big cash prize!! I'm also in the process of tagging stuff for a garage sale that our neighbors, Todd & Jen, are having. Maybe we'll sell some stuff and have some extra cash! A lot of my Saturday will probably be spent at their house helping out. Sunday I'm having a 31 Party at the house - they have a lot of cute totes & bags & other stuff! On top of all of this, I'm determined to Spring clean our house this year. It will probably take me ALL of Spring to get it done, but I've got a good start. I've already finished one bathroom, the office and the kitchen. I love a clean house and old country/farm houses are so hard to keep clean!!

Yesterday was our 1-year anniversary! We'll see how many more years I can put up with this guy..... :o) We went out for lunch (with Maddie of course) to Bernardi's - so good!! It was also Lexi's birthday and Joanne's birthday so we had dinner at John & Joanne's house - steaks, cheesy potatoes, pasta salad, baked beans, corn, rolls - the food list goes on and on! And for dessert Joanne made a Dump Cake and Brownies with hot fudge, hot caramel, ice cream and nuts. I've never had so much to eat in one weekend!! We gave Joanne a photo album that was put together from Shutterfly.com - she loved it!! Lexi is rolling in the dough - she received lots of cash which she loved. She also got some earrings, a digital makeover dealio and an Easy Bake Oven. I baked up some cookies (dough from a tub - not homemade) for her to take to school today. I think this coming weekend, we might let her choose a friend to take bowling or to a movie or something like that (as if we don't have enough going on!).

I think I've caught everyone up now - we'll see when my next post happens. :o) I've got some pics of Grand Bear Lodge and other random photos to post - I'll stick them in a seperate post.
