Happy Easter!

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!! We had a fun filled Easter. Jeremy and I actually got to sleep in late for the first time in a long time of Sundays. We went for the after mass festivities at church and ate lots of yummy food. After church, we went to my parents' house and got a visit from the Easter bunny! My dad said next year there would only be one basket and my sister was not so happy about that comment. My dad just laughed (so my dad).

For a late lunch, we went to my Grandmother Jolly's house. We have no kids in our immediate family so my grandmother invited her nephew and his wife, who has two boys. She REALLY wanted to hunt Easter eggs. We had a lot of fun! I helped the boys hide eggs for the older people in the family. I could not find my camera so I have no pictures to put up. The boys' mom took pictures that I hope I can get eventually because the boys just loved watching Jeremy hunt for eggs.

This week will be a crazy week. I am taking the boys to the McWane Center tomorrow since they are out of school and I am going to start getting ready to go to Laurel on Thursday for Jessica's Wedding!

YAY for Jessy's Wedding!!!

I promise to post more since Jeremy is gone!

Schedules and Fences

As I have mentioned in the a couple of posts that I am watching the Kahler kids, I am learning what it takes to run a family. Diane printed out a monthly schedule for me today and I could not believe how busy having three kids could be. I know that I am going to want to do everything for all of the children I may have and when you have two and three it seems to fill up every hour of every day.

Jeremy had a very busy day today. He pulled up bushes and cut down a small tree. After dinner, we went to Lowes and he bought 4x4s for our fence expansion. He has to make a bunch of phone calls in the morning before he can start digging holes. If he is able to start when he wants, we may have a new fence built before he leaves for work!

WOW! It has been a while

I did not realize until today that it has been so long since I have been on. From Sunday to Tuesday we were in Laurel. I got to go and see Jessy's bridal pictures. They were so beautiful! I remember taking my own. It feels like so long ago but it has only been a little over two years.

Jeremy got back from work on Monday and picked me up from Jessy's and we went to see his family on the way back to Birmingham. We were only there for a couple of hours but we had so much fun. We got some happies for the baby from his Nanny and Aunt Faye. Nanny gave use a beautiful blanket and and silver spoon. Since we do not know what we are having yet, Aunt Faye gave us some socks for a boy and a bow for a girl. I can not wait until may when we can find out what we are having.

While we were visiting Jeremy's family, we got to see his cousin's little girl Rheagan. She was so amazed that I had a baby in my tummy. Rheagan will be two in June. If you asked her were the baby was she would point to my tummy. It was so cute. I can not wait to see her holding the baby. She will have her own live baby doll to play with when we visit.

I am starting to watch Diane's boys in the afternoon after school from now until school gets out. I will be taking them to baseball practice too.

Geez that was long!

Babies 'R' Us

Erin and I went to Babies 'R' Us this afternoon. We had soooo much fun looking around. I did but a few things but I can not wait to find out what I am having to actually buy stuff that has a gender identity. They have the cutest boy and girl stuff out right now. I was tempted to buy a bunny outfit but I stopped because I did not think Jeremy would think it was as cute as Erin and I thought!

I started feeling better this afternoon. The medicine that I took last night made me sleep like a baby. I do not think that I could take it during the day because I was asleep in about 10 minutes. It was a good dose of some well needed sleep.

MEDS!!

So I finally called the doctor today about my headaches. The doctor called me in some medicine that I am going to take tonight before I go to bed because it says it may make you drowsy. I was afraid to take it this afternoon for the first time.

I did feel better today and was able to run errands that I have wanted to do since Saturday.

I still have not gained any weight but my stomach has gotten bigger and my pants are getting tighter. I hope this continues a little longer but I think the weight may start coming now that I am about out of my first trimester.

Also, I got the roof fixed yesterday and with all this rain the roofers did fix the problems well. NO LEAKS!!!

BLAH!!

BLAHHH!!! Is pretty much how I have felt since Saturday afternoon. I am hoping that I will feel better tomorrow. I felt a little better today so I hope that it keeps improving.

Also, the roofing man is coming tomorrow to look and hopefully fix the leaks in the roof. I hope he can fix it or we may have a pond in the sunroom from all the rain the weatherman say we are going to have over the next couple of days.

Busy Bee

This week has been a busy fun filled week. On Tuesday and Wednesday I went to see Jessy and Josh and on Thursday and Friday I spent time with the Kahlers!

I had soooo much fun with the Kahler Family as always. Diane lets me "practice" with her kids. On Thursday I took the three kids and Caleb to the Zoo. We pretty much spent all day there. We did not even get to all of the zoo! After we saw about half of the zoo and the sea lion show, we started to see the other half but the kids got distracted by the splash pad. They played there until it was time to leave.

On Friday, the plan was to come and swim at the house but the weather was not as good as it was the day before so we went to The McWane Center. After we got going at about lunch, we headed to Chick-fil-a (which is a lunch favorite for the Kahler kids). After lunch we headed into Birmingham. We only finished two of the three floors of the museum. We did get to see the Leonardo Di Vinci which has traveled in Europe and now in the US. After looking around, I decided it was time to head home but the kids thought the I-Max film. The movie was Under the Sea. They loved to see and learn about how things look and work under the sea.

Thanks Diane and Paul!
