SURGERY...

This handsome young man was scheduled for surgery this morning to repair bilateral congenital hernias.  Unfortunately it was cancelled.  We have an awful bug going through our house right now and he (along with 3 others, including me) decided to let it shack up for awhile.  Not a smart thing to do I know, but we were feeling generous I guess.  His older brother is scheduled for the same surgery next Friday.  We're hoping he is healthy by then!!  Here is another picture of Brother J eating his mexican banana!!  Check out the smirk!  Talk to ya soon...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

To my AMAZING husband.  He turns 40 today!!  I LOVE YOU BABIE!!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY...

EASTER...

Hey there!  How was your Easter?  Ours was WONDERFUL!  The Easter Bunny came for Sister K and Sister E early (Saturday) because they were going back to their dads for the holiday.  He came for the rest of the kids on Easter.  Easter morning the twins got up and found their Easter baskets and some large hidden eggs with cars in them!!  They had lots of fun.  Then we all headed off for mass.  We got there earlier than normal because #1 all those catholics that never go to mass go on Easter Sunday and #2 we attend a college parish and it is very popular.  Mass was at 10:00 and we pulled into our parking spot at 9:33.  We had a little bit of a walk to the church, but not that long.  When we arrived inside it was already standing room only.  By the time mass started you couldn't even walk through the foyer!  People were everywhere!!  Geesh!!  After mass we picked up the big kids and headed up north to my in-laws.  We had a fantastic dinner and the kids had fun on their egg hunt!  Aunt K hid 80 eggs!!  We watched a little basketball and visited and then headed back home!!  Hope you had a nice Easter!  Talkto ya soon...

Moms!!...

Well, getting to this post took a little longer than anticipated!  Forgot I was gonna have to reload the software for my pictures.  So now that that is done we can begin!  Back in February sister E celebrated her 9th birthday!  Can you believe it?  Me neither!  Sister E is one who REALLY likes presents.  So of course being the mom that I am I thought I would pull a funny with her present.  I took the present out of it's original box and wrote "happy birthday" on the styrofoam that came with the gift.  I put the styrofoam back in the box and wrapped it up for her (without her actual gift in it).  After blowing out the candles we gave her gift to her.  At first she chuckled, then she didn't think it was so funny and put her head down and became teary eyed.  Oops!!  It was supposed to be funny, it surely wasn't supposed to make her cry!  I guess we need to work on the being grateful part, along with mom needing to work being careful with her sense of humor!  We gave her the actual gift and she was quite pleased with it (it was something she had picked out).  Her smile returned to her face.  After all this I overheard her telling her friends about what I did and she was laughing the entire time!!  So maybe it wasn't so bad afterall!!  Here are a few pictures of our birthday celebration with sister E.  Talk to ya soon...
