Surprise....

You may not know but I HATE surprises. Maybe because I'm a control freak, planner or like to be over prepared. Knowing this....my husband and my BFF did it anyway. I'm not sure how they pulled it off but they did. On most weeks Trish and I talk a min of 2 hrs and she didn't spill the beans. James and I will be married 20 years in June. We celebrated early b/c James will be out of the country and trying to find someone to watch 4 kids can be difficult. We went on a cruise. Before that though, he surprised me with a visit to Trish. Although I hate surprises-it was AWESOME!!!!! They picked us up from the airport and we got LOTS of time together. Ft Myers Beach at Sunset!

Dinner out, without kids at the Peirside

On the pier...

Trish's calender with me written in ink. It was a wonderful day. My life is blessed and enriched in sooo many ways by having Trish and her family as part of it!! THX

Forgot to lock the gate...

Someone forgot to lock the gate upstairs. For most people of 4, 5, 10 & 15 year old children this would NOT be a problem. With my ladies, this is a problem. They will ALWAYS find something to get into. This morning they used an entire loaf of bread, cut up bananas, got grapes and cheese mixed it all together. They then took chocolate & vanilla pudding and spread it on the bread with their mixture.... They set the table. They also put sandwiches in baggies and lunch bags for the boys. I stayed calm and ate breakfast with my 2 very proud lil ladies.

Did I mention they put granola bars and nutrella on there too.

Lets just say....daddy did not think it was quite as cute as I did. Never a dull moment...

Computer back....

Our home computer was down for a bit. I'm so happy to have everything working. I didn't realize how much I depended on it for ALOT

Valentines day was fun for the ladies being in preschool. They got lots of treats and practice writing their names.

Will graduated to Weeblos II. He is such a trooper. He is awesome on following through with anything he starts. Not so much for all the other family members in his house.

This would be Zach atleast 30 min each day....XBox live COD

Lize did her own hair....this is also how she wanted to go to preschool. Against my mama feelings, I did let her....Thanks Trish for all her "butiful pweties"

Sofia loves her stickers.....

The girls love to bake, cook, stir and lick the utensils. It is fun to watch them and listen to funny things they say..."How tome it tatse better b4 we took it?"
