Ready for the weekend!

I have to say that I am sooooo ready for Friday. This week hasn't gone slow...but it does seem like it is taking forever in a way. David and I on Friday are going to go see 17 again! I am so excited about this one. It looks fun. I haven't seen a great movie in a long time and I am hoping that this is one of them! Out next week that I want to see is Obsessed and Fighting with Channing Tatum and he is just so yummy to look at, but the movie does look good too. I doubt that we will be able to see the last two just because of money, but I def want to see 17 again. It looks like one of those make you feel good kind of movies.

I think I am still tired from Kaylee's party this past weekend. I just have not seemed to get enough sleep yet. I don't get up until 7 but still am just soooo tired in the mornings. Today when I got the mail I got a flyer from Children's Place and saw a cute shirt that I want to get Skyler. I still need to get Kaylee some play shirts and a pair or two of capris. She has nice shirts to go out in...but no real play shirts to wear around the house. So that will be what I am going to be doing on Friday.

I ordered some stuff for Skyler from Crazy8.com a little while ago and sent almost all of it back because of sizing issues. Their sizes run HUGE!! Well I called the girl last Thursday and she said that they processed my refund on the 3rd and that I should have it by the 13th. Well it is still no in my bank account. So I am going to be giving them a call. It is just kind of frustrating that a lot of places can give you a refund immediately, but this one can't. I don't mind waiting...but I would like it to be in there when they say that it is going to be in there.

I took some pretty cute pics of the kids today and I am waiting to take some more this weekend. I have my sisters SLR camera and LOVE it! So I will try to get some pics posted soon.

Easter and Kaylee's Birthday

It was a pretty nice weekend. We went to my grandpa's brother's 50th Wedding Anniversary and the food was really good and it was nice. A lot of people I did not know...but several I did. My grandpa is one of 9 kids and only 4 are still alive. That would be my Grandpa's brother Vernon, Irvin, Catherine and grandpa. Before today I only knew that there were 6, see parents don't always tell you everything. He lost his sister Elma several years ago and about 2 years before that he lost his brother Tony.

Yesterday Kaylee was sooo excited! As you can tell in the pics above. Skyler would not for the life of her let her open her own presents. So she really didn't have a reaction to anything. But when we got home she was super excited about everything. The kids of course got a lot of candy. The Easter Bunny was pretty good to them. I am still tired from yesterday!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kaylee

Yep she is 3 today! I just can't believe it. We have lots of things going on this weekend. We are going to my grandfather's brothers 50th wedding anniversary today. And then on the way back I have to pick up sissy's cake. She wanted Care Bears. I figured it is better to pick it up today then tomorrow and have to make a special trip to get it. Then Sunday of course is Easter and we are celebrating Kaylee's birthday! I can't wait. She is so excited and keeps saying she can't wait. She cracks me up!

Today Skyler and her got Easter stuff from Kinlea. They were in Heaven! We gave Kinlea her Easter basket and she is so funny because when she gets happy she squeals. Normally it is a very squealy day here but today was even more so. Then the kids and I put together Taylor, Ashtyn's and Jordan's Easter things, and the kids kept asking where theirs were. I got theirs put together while they were napping. I have them hidden. Kaylee's getting a small toy for hers and Skyler is getting a Cars Hauler Truck from the movie cars. He will be excited.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

New blog look. Thanks to Cara from SMG. Those ladies rock over there. I am so excited for spring to get here. I think after this week it is going to start warming up! Skyler had his Easter Party at school today and he had a great time. Of course he got quite a bit of candy too. He is out Friday and Monday for Easter break.

It has been really quiet around here since Kailynn isn't here anymore. I have applied to a couple of places and hoping to hear something soon. I need something that is going to get the bills paid off sooner than later. I am just crossing my fingers that everything goes good.

Some photos

Things have been pretty quiet lately. And we are still getting settled in. I have just finished Skyler's Laundry today and did Kaylee's yesterday. Tomorrow will be ours and towels and then all will be done! I have gotten the kids clothes hung up and everything else unpacked. Today wasn't so bad...still pretty cool. Tomorrow is suppose to be 63 and I will be so happy.

Sunday we are having Kaylee's Birthday and it's suppose to be in the 40's. I have a dress for her to wear...but I think she won't be wearing it b/c of the weather. But that is ok. I still need to get Skyler some tennis shoes and another pair of sandals. Gap and Old Navy are having 30% off until the 9th. So I am probably going to order from there.

I have posted some photos from our trip to Louisiana. Man do I still miss it!!

Back to the REAL WORLD

Oh man we did not want to come back home. We had such a great time. We didn't get to see everyone we wanted to while we are in...but that is what happens when you only have a few days to see about 15 people. We drove down Thursday and stayed with David's aunt Linda and then headed to New Orleans on Friday morning.

The kids were excited to see their grandparents. Kaylee, David and I met up with Damon on Saturday to get stuff for her Birthday. Skyler stayed with his paw paw. Later Damon, David and I went to Izzi's Illegal Burrito. It was soooo good. They let you make your own and you can put whatever you want in it. Then Sunday we had Kaylee's Birthday party. Most everyone showed up. The kids had a blast with the kids that were there. There were 5 other kids besides ours their. Alexis, Aubrey, Sarah, Sophia and Stephen. The kids had bubbles to play with and side walk chalk. It was such a nice day!! Monday Grandma Mary took the kids to the park and then took them to the mall. David and I got to kind of relax and we had Fongs that day. It is a wonderful chinese resturant. Tuesday we were suppose to go to the zoo, but we thought we were going to get rained out. So we went to the riverwalk and then headed home. We were in Paw Paw's truck and it had a blow out. It was so scary. Wednesday the kids and David and I went several places. On Thursday we went up to Baton Rouge and stopped at a few outlets while we were there and stopped by LaPlace to see Roz, Ally and Charles on the way home. On Friday we went to the zoo with paw paw and Damon. Friday night we got some already boiled crawfish. They were soooooo good. Aunt Stella came by as well. The kids got in the hot tub and had a ton of fun. Paw paw watched the kids that night while we went with Damon to see Fast and Furious. It was good...but I still like the first one the best. Then Satuday it was time to pack up and start heading home. We stopped by the Strawberry Festival and I really wished we would of had another day down there or was going in this week...so we could of enjoyed it more. They had so much stuff there and a ton of good New Orleans food. I so miss the food down and there.

I do have to admit it gets harder and harder to leave everytime we go in. I wish we could stay down there for 2-3 weeks at a time. That would be the best. We will probably be moving back in a few years. Right now we need to get some bills payed off before we make that venture. I love my family here...but do really miss it down there as well. But we are back to reality and it is good to be home...but I still miss it bad!!

Twilight???

Ok so I now several of you have heard the huge buzz about Twilight. I have never read the books or saw the movie till last night. All the ladies are raving about it, so I was excited to rent it and watch it. So I was expecting this epic romance between Bella and Edward and just a wonderful movie in general. It was a HUGE disappointment!!!! The movie was very slow moving to start off with...but I stuck with it. Ok I understand the romance between Bella and Edward but it was nothing that makes you want to see this movie over and over. Soooo many people talked this movie up and that they had seen it over and over. My question is why? I was just disappointed. Am I the only one that feels like this?

Anyways we are so ready to go. It has been raining cats and dogs here lately. That is my little rant for this morning.
