- GRAHAM HAS FINISHED HIS MBA!!! I cannot begin to tell you how proud of him I am. He worked so hard from last January till last night........with no breaks. Every week straight he had something due. He is a trooper!

-We FINALLY bought a camper last week. It pays off to wait and look, we have been looking since the fall and REALLY looking since Dec. FINALLY we found exactly what we wanted at a price we wanted.

-Addie is the funniest child these days! Tuesday night I was changing her diaper at my mom's and Cale (my brother) came up the stairs to where we were. Addie looked over at him and said, "Hey Cale, come look at this turd!" I have never laughed so hard!

-My very sweet friend in CA who has been on hospital bedrest for alittle over a month gave birth to her little girl Reagan Grace Friday. She was with them for 4 hours then went to Heaven. She was very early and had a few other things going on. I have prayed and cried and prayed and cried for her. Lauren is the sweetest, strongest woman I have ever known. Please keep the Straub family in your Prayers.

-Yesterday we attended church at LVBC to see Lauren and Mack dedicated their lives to helping Weston be a strong Christian man. It was a very sweet program, and we were honored to be there :)

-I have been THROW away queen lately! I am getting ready for a yard sale in May and I AM GETTING RID OF ALL THE CRAP IN OUR HOUSE :)

-Graham will get tonight off, but tomorrow evening HE WILL be sanding the wall so I can paint the living room and kitchen. Its been 9 months already!!

-I am going to go finish my coffee in peace before Addie gets up and Ellie gets here. Have a nice week everyone!!

Egg hunt, and Easter

Friday, Graham was off so we took Addie to the Zoo. She loved it! Stupid me forgot to take the camera :(
Saturday we got up and dyed Easter Eggs. I have NO IDEA why I always do this the day BEFORE Easter? Every year Addie has had blue and purple fingers on Easter. Maybe next year I will remember to do it a few days before.



We went to the Egg Hunt at church that afternoon. Addie actually had a blast finding the eggs, it was just Mommie taking pics that made her mad.











OH Easter. It was an absolute Beautiful day! Except, Addie got up in a bad mood.......see she is terrified of Band aids (we don't really know why??), and Friday she insisted on wearing her old pair of crocs that I THOUGHT were too small but they seemed to fit okay.....or so we thought. They wore 3 blisters on her sweet little feet, so Saturday night we put meds on the blisters and band aids....needless to say she was pretty pissed about it.........She was also mad because the Easter Bunny had come to her house while she was alseep????SHE IS STRANGE! She didnt even want to look for her basket!
See when I was little the EB used to leave rhymes all over the house leading us to our baskets....I decided Addie would be old enough this year to do that and once we got her going she LOVED it!
After Addie found her basket and was looking through her things I finished getting ready. Only to find out that the dress I was going to wear that I had let someone cut off and make it shorter (it was long and I made it a knee length dress) did a HORRIBLE job. So I had to find another dress at the last minute, iron it and get out the door. Addie on the other hand looked BEAUTIFUL! BUT she was in a bad mood most of the day so I never got any good pics of her. So, one day this week I am making her put her dress on again and we are taking pics!
Here are the few I did get ;)

One of the best Pictures I have of Addie and Daddy




See what I mean, she was saying NO to the pics and this was one of the first ones!







No they didn't plan it, but Addie and Tanner matched perfectly!






Playing with the boys ;)

I teach Addie's class on Wednesday nights at church. It was so pretty last week, we finished the lesson early and went out to play. I captured these sweet pics of Addie, Tanner and Shane going to the playground.

We made these glasses in class, mom and I tried for 20 minutes to get Shane to put them on.....he said he just wanted to play! LOL I Love him!
