On Wednesday nights, Senica has Awana's at church and Anitra goes with her. School has started again for Seth...so he has lots of late nights...so I get some quality time with Ty! :)<br /><br />Tonight Brian was planting the mums and getting the backyard ready for the colder weather, so Ty and I took a quick trip to get a pumpkin.<br /><br />We had a lot of fun! Ty wanted a tiny one and that was kinda hard to find. He did find a lot of rotten ones that he thought were very interesting. We had a really good time....and ended the night with some hot cocoa.

I was supposed to run in it with Anitra, but because of my hip, the Dr. said no running. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">transferred</span> my registration to next year. I don't know if Anitra will do it again, but if not, she can take the pics of me running. :)<br /><br />We went with our friend Mary...who is amazing! We had some fun girls time together! Mary is quite the inspiration! She ran the race...came back to help us cheer Anitra on...and then ran the rest of the way with Anitra, encouraging her! What a blessing her friendship is! Dustin and Stacy were there too. Stacy ran the 1/2 and Dustin ran the 5k. I just realized that I have a pic of Stacy running in this collage, but not Dustin. Dustin finished before I was expecting him, so I didn't get a pic of him running...just right after he crossed the finish line. I will have to post that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">separately</span>.<br /><br />I am extremely proud of Anitra!! She trained hard and ran a good race! Way to go sis!! :)<br /><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383690435515939778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 338px;

Mary had called ahead to let them know that we were coming and when we got there, 3 people were working. One-by-one they trickled in until we had 7 people working on our feet. My guy didn't talk, Katie's lady was telling her about her friend dying and Jessica had a lady say to her "My friend had baby last week - very painful" niiiice. :) We did have fun though - lots of laughs!<br /><br />Next stop - Olive Garden! YUMMY!! I never thought I was a fan of Olive Garden, but the last 2 times I have been there have been with this group of friends and I do have to say I love that soup that we can't pronounce! :) Jessica got some cute pink and purple girly clothes!

We ate dinner and did a little shopping. When we got home, Brian and Jacinda were hanging out downstairs and both were happy! :) They both did a great job while we were out!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Janae</span> and Brenna were spending the night at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Senica's</span>, so April came down with Adria and Jacinda spent the night at our house. :) Brian was up at 6:30 to go to work and I got up with Jacinda. She is so happy when she wakes up...not like me! So I made breakfast and then April went to pick up the kids.<br /><br />After they left, I stated working on the tile by the front door and Brian came home shortly after that. We got all the carpet and padding pulled up and then I headed to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Goshen</span> to take Mia's prom pictures.

Nelson had gotten tickets to the Cubs game on Wednesday night and since Bethel's game was rescheduled, he sold me his tickets. So Wednesday night, Jacinda and I drove to Chicago after work to go to the game! :) We had such great seats and it was a blast!! :)<br /><br />Thursday night, we watched the kids so that Anitra could go to a spa party and get pampered. :)<br /><br />Saturday Anitra dropped off Senica and Ty at 8:30 in the morning because she had a conference she had to go to, so Brian and I put them to work! :) We are changing the walls in the front room from green to a sand color and they helped to prime it. Since we are tearing up the carpet, it didn't matter if they got paint on it. Then, I gave them baths, because we had paint everywhere, and headed to Bethel for Senior Day.<br /><br />It rained before the game started, but the sun came out and it was a gorgeous day! The big surprise of the day was Cam and Sam's engagement. Cam had it planned out so well and did a great job!! :) Sam had no idea about any of it and Cam had been planning it since last November. Isn't her ring beautiful?! Sam babysits Senica and Ty for Anitra and Seth and does a great job with them! :) They were high school sweethearts and it was fun to hear his grandma telling stories about when they first started dating. :) <div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Addihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705949893838657714noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576045938601863652.post-4197672956522261752009-04-26T22:50:00.001-04:002009-04-26T22:51:12.638-04:00Easter Continued...<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWoUAxB3mvhet0yuisqh8Ans4EZcUZlv-5KE4iOvxTt83dHwoYBuMdk7bXGiSGc8p5i2CoCEg5JrbgxrLcPlAfXH-OnMT_JcQa_m4drSKQzDqKHD3cy3vGvNAyRoAB47ulubg9yO1SNIQ/s1600-h/Starred+Photos166.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWoUAxB3mvhet0yuisqh8Ans4EZcUZlv-5KE4iOvxTt83dHwoYBuMdk7bXGiSGc8p5i2CoCEg5JrbgxrLcPlAfXH-OnMT_JcQa_m4drSKQzDqKHD3cy3vGvNAyRoAB47ulubg9yO1SNIQ/s400/Starred+Photos166.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br />So I haven't been very good at keeping up-to-date on my blog. Sorry!<br /><br />This was the second half of Easter. We went to mom's for dinner. The little kids had an egg hunt in the front yard and the bigger girls, in the backyard. I couldn't get a picture of Janae because she wouldn't stop long enough for me to take one. All my pics of her are from the backside as I was chasing behind her. ha! <div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Addihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705949893838657714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576045938601863652.post-64789017905405515382009-04-12T14:28:00.002-04:002009-04-12T14:35:04.037-04:00Happy Easter!!<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5A-TJhw4hn-3OU4t-eoF9t724Ib9PvBQ0gTVXQmlERM6ERDyVxg_NtGmUmOB3Z7keBGCBgteI3ntn7iFmCG9K4ld5E6uTuUgW03_1F-whuDYElfjaYy6qcZKjNDh4sMjVesHBY3bD2t0B/s1600-h/Starred+Photos165.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5A-TJhw4hn-3OU4t-eoF9t724Ib9PvBQ0gTVXQmlERM6ERDyVxg_NtGmUmOB3Z7keBGCBgteI3ntn7iFmCG9K4ld5E6uTuUgW03_1F-whuDYElfjaYy6qcZKjNDh4sMjVesHBY3bD2t0B/s400/Starred+Photos165.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxhJiOrbVapQWtl0XFu0Jm3Od5GFwDGiiN5xFfTuoZ32khAzGWmjWDeFx3MxPRyJwYyXiMCQB4iBnnw8J4PL_Mp-BvCN0FMiZ7jpkgNSqpEA7xKhwGPWSvIW-d1qC5491505Sz1Nt5DS3/s1600-h/Starred+Photos164.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxhJiOrbVapQWtl0XFu0Jm3Od5GFwDGiiN5xFfTuoZ32khAzGWmjWDeFx3MxPRyJwYyXiMCQB4iBnnw8J4PL_Mp-BvCN0FMiZ7jpkgNSqpEA7xKhwGPWSvIW-d1qC5491505Sz1Nt5DS3/s400/Starred+Photos164.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><p>Happy Easter!! We had a wonderful service this morning and what a beautiful day it is outside. A perfect day for lots of pictures!</p><p>After church, we had a brunch at our house and Brian's parents and Seth, Anitra and the kids came. It was so nice to have everyone over! :)</p><p>I was telling my in-laws how I would like to have some new floor in the front living room and kitchen this spring/summer. Brian and I have been talking about it and since they have done a lot of home repairs, I wanted their opinion too. I have been really wanting laminate flooring in both of the rooms. Talis said we need to see if there is hardwood under our carpet, so Brian tore up a section of our carpet and WWWHOOOOOO HOOOOOO, we have hardwood! I am ecstatic!! Another project for Brian! ha</p><p>Hope you all are having a wonderful day too! </p><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Addihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705949893838657714noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576045938601863652.post-19448219947874473622009-04-11T22:26:00.001-04:002009-04-11T22:28:05.413-04:00Sunshine and Smiles!<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIxGRLypb50wFqOm9VpJwM_eqZfDwqhAHYnyDZB9KlA14JoLBtBmeV8U7J_egz8c5xOboZeqIzAUEt1kqalDKfjFiSQMVXCZelI-AcsHfE0Te3HZBe49SaYGoFqMbX_2vom4glfWyObSM/s1600-h/Starred+Photos163.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIxGRLypb50wFqOm9VpJwM_eqZfDwqhAHYnyDZB9KlA14JoLBtBmeV8U7J_egz8c5xOboZeqIzAUEt1kqalDKfjFiSQMVXCZelI-AcsHfE0Te3HZBe49SaYGoFqMbX_2vom4glfWyObSM/s400/Starred+Photos163.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br />Today I went over to April's house to watch the girls. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Janae</span> had her first practice for t-ball and so I kept Jacinda and Brenna. Adria wanted to go with her mommy and it worked out perfect for her to nap at the park. :)<br /><br />The girls were great for me! Jacinda drank a bottle, played and then took a 1 1/2 hour nap! Brenna, of course, was on the computer. When Jacinda woke up, I told the girls it was way to nice to be inside. So, out we went and it was a great day to get some pictures of them as well! :) Jacinda didn't feel like looking at the camera, but Brenna was ready to pose!<br /><br />April dropped <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Janae</span> off at a friends house and then she and Adria got groceries. When they got home, Adria wanted to get in on the pictures too. Aren't they all such dolls in their pink?!? :)<br /><br />I am so glad they are home!!! <div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Addihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705949893838657714noreply@blogger.com3
