Happy Birthday, Big Boy!!

I can't believe our little guy is already a year old. Wednesday Griffin had his birthday dinner at Falls Terrace. He loved dessert!

He's getting very brave and walking all the way across the living room now. Right after I took this picture he walked from the chair in the living room to the front door!

Sophia was excited to wear their number shirts. I made these a few years back when my nephew Carson was 1, Sophia was 2, and my niece Lauren was 3. I don't have any other numbers. So after we get back from vacation, I will have to get painting! Carson is turning 3 next Friday, Lauren will turn 5 mid-May, and then Sophia will be 4 at the end of May.

Happy Easter

Sophia helped set out the Easter baskets so that Peter Cottontail could fill them with goodies. She was sooooo excited that she laid in bed singing and talking from about 8:00 until 10:30 p.m.! Who can sleep when the Easter Bunny's on his way?

On our way into church. This was the only group pic I snapped all day!

Marisa took some great pictures once we arrived at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Soph's had an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard all to herself.

Happy Easter 2010! I have more pictures that I'll upload to Kodak.

Excuses, Excuses...

So I haven't posted in forever - SORRY! Here are some of my excuses (and what we've been up to lately).

I like to take on multiple projects at one time, which makes all of them take longer.

1) I've been organizing the house garage, which means purging, sorting, rearranging, buying storage accessories, etc.

2) Joe had spring break and we had a few sunny days, so I stopped the garage project for a bit to get some landscaping projects done with him as my helper. We also had concrete poured which consumed a day or two for me as well.

3) Stalking a guy that owes us a lot of money... Long story - total loser.

4) Kids

5) Preparing for Easter, Griffin's 1st Birthday, and vacation this month and thinking about all we have to do next month as well.

6) "Homemaking" - way too time consuming... :O)

So what's still on my list? Basically all of the above. Nothing is ever finished. Well, Easter is. But now we need to put away all the Easter decor and put up party stuff.

Oh yeah - one more excuse. I have been using my new laptop all the time (and love it), but I don't like to do pictures on it because it doesn't have all my photo software. So I haven't been down to the desktop computer in forever to do pictures and postings.

Okay, excuses done. I will try very hard to get pictures up in the next two days. Promise.
