Busy weekend

Caden was finding all the sticks for the fire!

Gorgeous view. Everyone playing catch on the beach.

Caden hung by the fire...didn't like cold tootsies!

This past weekend was busy but rewarding! Ed left Thursday night on the ACTS retreat and those of you that know me well know that I always take advantage of him being away! I always have a project of some kind up my sleeve. The bus full of men was not even out of the church parking lot and I was at Home Depot buying paint for the master bedroom! I found a nice light blue to match my dark brown, cocoa and blue bedspread. My neighbor and work out partner Tammy came over to help. We had the room back together by 2:00 Saturday. It turned out awesome. Felt good to de-clutter too. Hmmmm....what shall I do next time he is out of town? Thinking the master bathroom! Check out my curtain Mom! All by myself!

Sunday afternoon was the first cook out at Lena Point beach with Renee and her kids and a few other families. It was gorgeous but cold out. I need to find those ExtraTufs for Caden still Renee! He hung by the fire because his feet got wet and cold. It was a fulfilling and fun weekend!

Happy Easter!!

This morning the Easter bunny surprised everyone with baskets of goodies and a new bike for Caden. Caden had to follow the clues (eggs) to the garage where he found his bike & basket.

Colton also had to hunt for his basket following clues to the washing machine. Devin....well, the Easter bunny just left his in his room where he had already eaten half and was playing XBox by the time I caught up with him with the camera. No big whoop for teenagers I guess. Ed even got a basket (filled to the top with Reeses peanut butter eggs).

Happy Easter friends & family!

Birthday weekend

This weekend we finally celebrated Ed's birthday. He has been so sick that we didn't do anything on the actual day (April Fool). I made the traditional 14 carrot cake (my best one EVER) and had family over for pizza. It was a nice low key evening before the main event......

Caden's 4th Birthday Party!!

Caden turned 4! He had an Iron Man birthday party and asked all his guests to wear a super hero costume. They all turned up in style (fake muscles and all). He had 6 friends come and at times it was pure 4 year old boy energy. Whew! Caden had so much fun though and I think he will remember this birthday for a long time!
