Easter Sunday...

Nothing exciting planned for today...we're just spending the rest of the day around the house, doing chores and getting ready for the week ahead. We're having an "Easter feast" later this evening...ham and all the fixins! :-) My sister and her family are coming to join us!

The kids enjoyed their baskets. Brady didn't get a basket this year, but got a new "blanket toy" and a teething ring. Even though he's not teething yet, he's putting EVERYTHING in his mouth so I figured he'd enjoy it...and he does!!! Check out the pictures:

With his new toy and teether...

"Um, excuse me, but is one of these mine???"

Happy Easter!!!

(Thanks for the pictures, Angie)!!

Spring Break...

The kids have been on Spring Break this week. Unfortunately, Gerald & I haven't been, so we had to forego our yearly Spring Break trip to Universal Studios. We just don't have the extra money this year, and Gerald & I both have too much going on at work to take time off. The kids were disappointed but have managed to find other things to do. Austin went to the beach with friends, Gerald took Dylan to the Clay County Fair, and Brady made his first trip to the pool! He didn't get IN the water, but really enjoyed hanging out pool-side with Dylan:

Bath Time Fun...

We've finally reached the point where Brady is actually ENJOYING his baths now. Here are a few shots...

"Modest Boy" (check out the little pot belly)...

New Toy...

Couldn't resist sharing...he LOVES his new play mat!!!

Things I'm Lovin' Right Now...

1) Vanilla Coke from Sonic (my guilty pleasure)!!!

2) Cover Girl Exact Eyelights Mascara (it really does brighten your eyes)!

3) The smell of my baby after his bath - HEAVEN!


4) The beautiful spring weather we're having (this is the best time of year to be a Floridian)!

5) Salina Nails, who gives the best pedicures in town...TOTAL INDULGENCE!

6) Weekly date nights with my hubby at La Napolera - great food, cheap prices (we can both eat AND have a beer for under $20)!

7) The fact that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, and am gainfully employed!

8) The blessings that are my family, friends, and acquaintances.

Random Photos...

Just a few photos I wanted to share...
