Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I haven't had much time to blog this last month. Today was such a wonderful day. The Despers and the Mynatt's were able to get together to celebrate Easter. There was sooooo much good food! Kayla JUST got over an 8 day bout with the flu - some family members weren't there today because of illness. (We missed you Barb and Malori!) It's a lot of work to get ready for a big meal, but it is also good to have my spring cleaning done now!! I had a lot of help today! Mom and Grandma came up 2 hours early and helped me fix the food and my kitchen crew down below helped me clean it all up! Thank you to everyone that helped today!!!

We also celebrated Ryan's 9th birthday today. How can he already be 9 years old?? I made my first and last birthday cake! I can scrapbook and make cards, but cake decorating is definitely not in my repertoire. The kids both got Webkinz today. Why didn't I think of those??

The other good news....I'M ON VACATION!!! The kids are on Spring Break this week so I took the week off. I'm happy to get to spend the time with them!

Happy Birthday Chris!!!!!!

Tomorrow, 3/3, is Chris' Birthday! We celebrated at dinner tonight with his favorite meal - beef and noodles, mashed potatoes, and white cake with chocolate frosting. He LOVES the Jiffy dry mix frosting (too gritty for me), but you can't find that in stores anymore! Can you tell what was on Kayla's mind in this picture?? Have a great week! :)

Today's Forecast.....

SNOW and then....MORE SNOW.

I.U. Basketball

URGH! I'm so upset. Is Kelvin Sampson coaching his last game at IU tonight? I certainly hope so.

My SUPERbowl Son

Sometimes I feel like I don't devote enough time to Ryan on this blog. Kayla is home with me one day during the week so I have more opportunities to take pictures of the things she does. So, this post is for Ryan. This is a picture of him making us subs for dinner on Superbowl Sunday. After he made my sandwich (to order of course) he asked me if that was the best sub I have ever had. Of course it was! I usually watch the Superbowl alone as Chris is somewhere else with all his fantasy football junkies watching the game. This year was great because Ryan was REALLY into the game. He watched every single play and every single commerical with me. It was so fun to watch the game with him! He was jumping on the couch and beating on his chest when the Giants were making the huge plays at the end. He said, "Mom, I'm so nervous I can hardly stand it!" What a great night we had. I am so proud of the person he is and is growing up to be. Have a good weekend everyone!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

What's worse? Rain or snow?

Happy Birthday Mya!

Happy 4th Birthday to my niece Mya!
