Mother's Day Suprise

So I was going to upload the video of me surprising Mom at Salem's Mother/Daughter Banquet, but my computer isn't working and I'm using the church's and I don't want to hook my iphone up to their computer. And let me be honest here, the cord if upstairs and I'm no about ready to get up, walk up the stairs, unplug the cord, and come back down here. Especially when of the five you you who read this blog, two were at the banquet (actually taking the video), and the other three of you saw it on Facebook, I'm not too worried about it.

Anyway, I had a great trip to Kentucky! Friday I drove down to Lexington and Kerry hosted me and the boys! She cooked us a yummy dinner and Sherry came over with Carter and Max. All four boys had a great time playing. This was the first time I had really been around Max and all, and he is such a cutie!

Saturday morning we (Kerry and I) dropped the boys off with my Dad and headed out to Salem. It was a whole ordeal, but the surprise came off really well. In fact, Mom was just saying to Lynn that she thought I might come down and surprise her, but that wasn't going to happen. Then she walked up front and talked to Angela (who I was sitting right beside) for a few minutes before she even noticed that it was me sitting there.

We had a good visit with everyone. We got to go out and see Mammaw, dinner with Tim, Laura, and the kids. Mom and I had Grace and Holden on Tuesday AND I got to have lunch with Sherry! I even got to go out to Cato, even though I didn't get anything. The boys both traveled really well and we even stopped to see Alicia on our way home!

Corban's last day of school (preschool) was today. I can't believe I'm already saying that about my firstborn! Next year they will both be in preschool at the Y, so I'll be going every day. I'm not really looking forward to that, but I honestly probably get out about every day anyway and maybe this way I'll be a little more dedicated to working out. I want to say that this means it's summer, but that's just a joke right now. I am so tired of the cold and rain. I'm even more tired of the boys being stuck inside all day every day. They NEED to get out and play, I need to only have to dress them in shorts, t-shirt, and sandals.

I have no way to wrap this up other than to say I was going to try to get my house put back together today since I have Tanner tomorrow and no clean clothes in the house and a Thirty One show tomorrow night, and Tanner four days next week (that's going to be rough on me, I'm not gonna lie). That being said, I'm going to clean and do laundry until I need to go pick Nina up.

Easter and Birthday

So this is the the only picture I got of the boys on Easter. We snapped it as soon as we came home from church. I took video of them with their Easter baskets, but the camera was dead, so no stills. I was kind of in the same shape as Sherry, I should take pictures before church, but Johnny's always already AT church, so that's hard to do. Anyway, if you wonder what we looked like, find a picture of us last Easter because we all 4 wore the same thing! If I'm really good, Caden can wear Corban's vest another two years and I just need to get Corban a new coordinating one!

Seriously, we had a wonderful Easter. Johnny's sermon was great, the boys sat with me during sunrise service. That alone thrilled me! The fact that they can actually sit through a sermon and behave halfway decent just made my day! Of course, they were tired, but it still counts! We didn't go anywhere for dinner, we cooked a nice lunch here with just the four of us and then took the boys to see "African Cats" at the theater after naptime. It was just a wonderful day! This is what inevitably happens when the boys have are anywhere near each other! Notice Caden's wet pants. He had been helping Johnny clean the baptistry the day before and got away from us at church and was in the baptistry again... only this time it was full!

This was Caden's dessert plate. He literally licked it clean... he's his Mama's boy!

No pictures, but today is mine and Johnny's birthday. We didn't have plans, just church and home. I was going to fix shrimp alfredo, but Luke and Nadine invited us over for dinner, so we accepted! This weekend we're going to see "Phantom of the Opera" at the local high school and we're going to a new mexican restaurant we've not been to. Then next week we're going to a Japanese restuarant downtown and out to see the movie "Thor"

Our birthday is exactly between Easter and Mother's Day. Weird.
