Embarassing Yard!!!

Our yard is starting to look like a JUNGLE!!! Jeremy hasn't been able to get the lawn mower to start and hasn't had time to work on it. We don't have ANYTHING on the calendar tonight, so he's going to work on it today!! I think the neighbors are ready to leave nasty notes in our mailbox if it doesn't get bush-hogged soon!!

Pottery Room Pieces

These were ready last Tuesday and I kept forgetting to pick them up!!!! I made the sailboat light switch plate for Ethan's room (not thrilled with how it turned out- I hate that I was rushed!!) and Caleb made the baseball bank to go with the theme of his room in our new house... St Louis Cardinals! I'm looking forward to another date night with one of my boys. :)

Bionic Boy!

I took Ethan to the Cardiologist to check on his heart murmur today. They did lots of different test that Ethan did NOT enjoy. Of course I HAD to take a picture of him covered in electrodes during his EKG, I texted the picture to Jeremy and he asked if they were making him bionic! All of his test came back normal, the doctor said he just has a noisy heart and that he should outgrow it. YAY!

Coupon Envy!!

Tonight, I went to Rafferty's with the Multiples Club and I planned to take a picture of all of us for my daily picture, but a couple girls left before I got around to taking it and I didn't want to take it without them. :( We started talking about couponing (of course!) and my friend, Kim, asked us if we wanted to see her binder because she had it in the car. I couldn't believe the size of the thing!!! It is thick!! We all got a kick out of her asking if we needed different things that she had an abundance of at home like butter and maxipads... the real kicker was when she asked if anyone needed KY Jelly!! Haha! I'm sure the clerk checking her out on that purchase thought she was crazy!

Manzanillos

The Harwell's asked us to go to Manzanillos with them after church today and when we got there we found that several other families from our LIFE group were there too so we all sat together on the porch, it was a beautiful day!

New Trampoline!!!

We got the twins a trampoline for their 4th birthday (money well spent because they jumped on it just about every day!) Then last Christmas Eve (2009), we came home from the Candlelight Service at church and saw that the trampoline had disappeared!! We finally found it about 100 yards away in the tree line behind our neighbors house (must have been some REALLY strong winds because the sucker was HEAVY DUTY!) It was totally mangled and in really rough shape! Jeremy tried to bend the poles back out but they either wouldn't get totally straight or would break as he bent them so we went to Lowe's and rigged it with some PVC pipes! When we sold our house this past September, we decided to leave the trampoline behind because we didn't think we would be able to get it taken apart much less get it put back together so we promised the boys we would get them a new one this Spring. Jeremy and the boys got it put together today while I was at Nicole's shower and started jumping immediately!! Matthew showed off by doing front flips and LANDING ON HIS FEET!! That kid's got talent!!

Nicole's Baby Gifts

My good friend, Nicole, is having twins and her shower is tomorrow. I procrastinated and waited until this week to get some stuff made for her and I finally finished everything tonight. I hope she likes it!
