Easter 2006

Here are a few pictures to share what we did for Easter weekend! Saturday our church hosted an Easterfest at Grandview Park! The weather was PERFECT: sunny and warm with a sligght breeze. Morgan won a hula hoop & Dora the Explorer jump rope themed basket! The girls are having a blast sharing that! Also the girls picked up 2 FULL buckets of candy or as I call it "free" potty training candy! After the Easterfest we ran a few errands and then we spent the rest of the day just vegging out and playing outside! Yesterday it was rainy and overcast, but we still had a GLORIOUS and restful day! This morning we went to the 8:30 service at Grace. The had an AMAZING drama production called, "More than just a man." The best aprt was when they showed the crucifixion of Christ and the disciples and Joseph taking care of Jesus' dead body. At the time they were devastated, but JESUS did RAISE again! After that we headed to the 10:30 service at Altoona with Tim's parents. After church we went to Grandma & Grandpa Stout's for lunch and had a wonderful ham dinner with a few of the ladies from their church; it was a time of great fellowship. Our friend, Martin, joined us for the whole day! Although we could not have our egg hunt outside b/c the grass was very wet, we had an easter egg box hunt & the girls LOVED IT! I will upload pics later we are having a bit of trouble with that this morning! :)

The Madness.....

Well- I know it's early, but Tim went to play Saturday am b-ball with his buddies and accountability guys and when he left I just woke up! Today is a relaxing day, but we plan to clean out the van, clean up the yard and catch up on laundry! Also, I am hoping to finish cleaning/shampooing our carpets....I have borrowed my friends carpet shampooer and we are hoping to use it one the van and the house today! HOORAY! And the day will be completed by watching the Madness on TV! Wa-hoo....Go George Mason!

Well, it was an interesting THursday, the weather was all over the place! Thursday it was sunny and 65 in the am and then we had terrible thinderstorms that night. The girls and I spent about an hour in the basement b/c of a tornado warning and I was thankful there was a HUGE box for thethe girls to play with and I watched the TV/radar. and yesterday it was 42 degrees and WINDY! Brrr......

yesterday I went to the chiropractor and then to Target to pick up a few groceries. Maddie was off school today and after lunch we are stopped by thelibrary and then after Tim got off work we headed to the hospital to visit his co-worker, Linda, who is in the hospital with gall stones and we also stop by the Nursery to see a friend from church who just had her 4th girl, they were praying for a boy, but they are happy! It makes me want another baby even more now!!!! Maddie keeps asking when her baby brother or brothers is coming and we tell her to just keep praying! She has asked if she can have 2 brother or 2 babies come at once, "Mom, I really want twins!" and yesterday in the van she said, "Mom, when I grow up I am going to have a husband and we will have our own children...a son and a daughter & they'll be twins. " I asked what she would name them and she replied, "Michael and Sarah...of course..." Don't BLINK....THey grow up soooooo fast! Last night after our hospital visits we went to tHe Iowa Machine Shed for dinner & then to our favorite little ice cream shop, Granny's, for little sundaes! So FUN! After that we came home, and watched Lion KIng 1 1/2 & I totally crashed!

I am thankful that the subbing is picking up...I worked Thursday in Ankeny Kindergarten and mom stout watched the girls, I work next Thursday and Friday @ SEP High School, the following THursday is a 1/2 day and then I have 2 more days the first week of May...one at g-view nad one at SEP elementary. I am hoping to pick a few more days somewhere...we are trying to build up our $1000 fund again and save for a trip to California to see Tom, kristin, Sydnie and Evan! Tim is doing a GREAT job at work...he almost made his goal for March, he came up a little shy! He is totally bummed, but everyone else is soooooo encouraged by his performance....this was his first month on the phone and he almost made goal...that's amazing! He is going to go far and fast in this company! Praise the Lord!


On with the Madness!!!
