Redneck Water Slide

My family came over yesterday for Memorial Day cookout. Jared bought some big pieces of plastic and made the BEST slip and slide!!! We put bubble bath and water all over the slide. It was VERY slippery once the kids (and Jared) got wet. We had SO much fun!! The only problem was the abrupt stop at the end!! Next time, we need to extend the slide a LITTLE longer.
This is Zane and Harrison and my nieces Katherine and Kalin.


Camping

Last weekend we went "camping" in our backyard with Aaron, Carrie, and Jacob. We stayed out there until after midnight, but then it got VERY cold. We brought the boys in and A,C,&J went home. The boys were confused about why they went to sleep in the tent and woke up in their beds!

Mother's Day

We had a GREAT Mother's Day yesterday!! Harrison was sick from Thursday thru Saturday night so I kept him home from church (don't worry- that's not the great part!). Jared and Zane brought home Marketplace Grill for lunch along with a rose, a manicure/pedicure gift certificate, and a shopping trip to Cravings (a REALLY cute maternity store) with Jared. It was very sweet. My parent's just got home from their cruise and they came out for a little while. Then we played outside for the rest of the day. We had a bonfire going so we went down and roasted hot dogs and Jared made steaks on the grill. The boys sat in the hot tub while we sat on the porch and talked. It was just a great family day. I'd been in the house since Thursday so it was so nice to get some fresh air and sunshine! There we 50 cute picture opportunities but didn't have my camera out there!! I am officially out of my first trimester and feeling MUCH better. I'm actually excited about cooking this week! My poor family has been living on take out and BLT's, but they have not complained. They're wonderful!!

Breakfast at the Fire Station

Last weekend we went to the fire station for a pancake (and sausage and bacon) breakfast. The boys really enjoyed seeing the fire trucks up close and personal.

The Beatles in Branson?!?!

On Thursday, Mom, Shelley, and I went on a little girls overnight trip to Branson. We decided to go to see "The Beatles" (don't laugh yet!!). We thought that it might be a little cheesey but we actually had a great time. When the three of us get together we ALWAYS have a great time!! Our tickets were on the front row center stage. When they asked if anyone was having a birthday my mom starts pointing at me (it's not for 2 more weeks!) so they get me up on stage. They also got Shelley up there along with two little girls. We had to stand up for the WHOLE song shaking the tambourines. Had Shell not been with me I would've died. It was really funny though. We decided that we are going to be "wanna be groupies" for the "wanna be Beatles". The cool thing was George Harrison's sister actually put this group together. She was there answering questions and singing along with them at the end. They were actually really good (for all of you Beatles fans out there).

Mom and Shelley
No explanation needed :) (that's Ringo behind us)

Easter

We had a busy (but fun) Easter weekend. We went to Jared's parents' house on Saturday for a cookout and to my parents' house Sunday after church. I have cute pictures of the boys opening Easter baskets but Zane is in his underwear. I didn't think I'd embarrass him by posting those!!

House

I was just talking to my good friend Adrian and realized that a lot of our friends have never seen our new house. We've been here for a year now (I can't believe it)!!!
