I can't believe it's finally time!

I'm now filling out my paperwork for graduation! Yes folks, I'm finally graduating Grad school! I can't believe it's finally happening. I can't say it took all that long as I did it in 2 years, which is the very fastest you can do it. I'm taking a class right now and I have one more this July. Then, I'm completely completely done! I'm not going back (at least not for 10 years)!!! I want to get my doctrine some day and teach college. That's my ultimate goal for the future but that won't happen till the kids are in high school or college themselves. I'm not missing out on anything else.

Now comes the joys of getting a job! I'm sending out applications in the next week for school districts AGAIN. And I also am sending out info for a Behavioral Specialist (my second certificate area for my masters degree).

This is all very exciting! I can't wait to just be done!

Madison is now 3 years old!

I can hardly believe it but Madison is now 3 years old. We had a great party for her and had fun yesterday on her bday. We had a party with family and friends at Pizza Hut and did some games and stuff with the kids. Then, yesterday for her bday, we got her a cake and went for a bike ride on her brand new bike. She had a blast and did really well! I'll post pics of that soon.

Here's some pics from her party and yesterday!

Owen is one handsome T Ball player!

As promised, pictures of Owen from T Ball! I will get a video up as soon as I take one :)

T Ball has Started!

Owen has started his first year of T-Ball! He is loving it. Hal is coaching the team. I'm suppose to be his assistant but it's awfully difficult to run after Maddie, play the game and be pregnant. Sorry, but it just is. Owen is doing well though. He seems to really enjoy the game and is making new friends. That is definitly a nice thing as he usually makes friends very easily.

The first game is this Saturday. I'll try to get some on video and post it on here so everyone can see. If you wanna come, it's at Conneaut Lake at 10:00am! Let us know! We would love to see everyone there!

It's going to be a LONG summer!

So today was about 85 degrees and I'm already hating being pregnant over the summer. I'm hot, I'm miserable, I'm sweaty and I'm swollen! Yes, folks, SWOLLEN. My feet look like something from the Shrek movie and I can't even wear my wedding rings. It's horrible. I'm sitting here simply for the reason that I need to put my feet up so I can type with my feet on the computer desk! Boy, is this going to be a LONG summer!

Easter Day 1- Saturday

So we have never taken the kids to a town wide easter egg hunt before today. It was definitly interesting. They split the kids into age groups. Owen was across the lawn from Maddie's. So I took Maddie and Hal took Owen. We were there 20 minutes prior and the kids were ready to go. They were excited. Maddie kept saying "let me get those eggs" The Easter bunny gave every kid (probably like 200 kids) candy or a stuffed easter bunny. My kids got the bunny. Anyways, we were all ready and they said 3 more mins left. Maddie goes "Oh MOmmy, I have to pee!" I told her to hold it because we would be done in like 5 minutes. Then they said "GO!" and what did my darling little girl do....start screaming her little eyes out. She got 1 egg because I picked it up for her! OMG I couldn't believe it. HEre are all these 1 year olds grabbing tons of eggs and Maddie is standing there crying. It really scared her.

Then, Owen took about 5 steps and Hal said he fell on the ground. Got up and took off running. He got like 15 eggs. Which wasn't bad as there were sooo many kids. He did end up winning a stuffed bunny prize. They had some really awesome prizes including 10 bikes. So we were hoping he would have gotten one of those (for sissy of course) and then he got that bunny. He loves it though! He was so excited that we stood in line for 20 minutes to get the prize. We didn't know what it was but then they gave him the bunny and he was like "WOW Mom, I won a bunny!" LOL

It was fun. Then my mom and sis came and we made bird feeders to hang outside and flew kites. Eventful day!

The baskets are ready and eggs are stuffed for tomorrow!
