Easter

We started off by going through basket that the Easter Bunny brought...clearly he is not happy with the socks...LOL.

I wanted to have a picture of him sitting in basket like I did last year...yea, not going to work this year.
Look how sweet he looked here...in serious need of a haircut! 04/09 Back to this year. He wasn't all that excited about waking up from a nap to have to go outside and pick up things we had put on the ground for him.

He is used to us picking up after him not the other way around. He was really upset that we were making him pick things up...look at that face! I don't know where he gets that from...(cough**Mom**cough)But he did enjoy eating the eggs afterwards so that was a good thing. He ate 3 whole eggs, yolk and all. We had a very low-key day but it was beautiful....and Blessed.

All Grows Well!

This year we finally got our garden started. We have been talking about if for a while now but this year was the year. Paul's aunt had the hook-up with getting us these awesome tubs to keep a container garden. We decided to put them next to our shed...perfect spot to see them from my kitchen window.

Fill with dirt/compost from Singh Farm. ( A post about Singh Farm to follow)

Let your mom teach your son to drink out of water hose...hey it didn't kill us, right?

Get him cleaned up to let Tata push him around in a rusty wheelbarrel.
And after all that hard work....we got tomatoe plants, jalapenos, squash, zuchini, green onions, cucumbers, mint and basil. I can't wait to make my first salsa. I'll keep you updated on how things are growing.

Pioneer Days

Pioneer Days is what our small town calls their annual festival/carnival. I was excited to have Brandon get on rides...turnes out he is too young to ride any rides. Next year it's on! He did get to ride the horses and the little train with an adult. Thank God for Nana's and Tata's!

He rode the horses a lot.


You can't see his buddy Arman in this picture but he's on the next horse over.



Even daddy got in on the fun! And boy was he pissed when a 4 year old little girl beat him.
And mom and dad had a great night out with friends at the local bar. Even if Paul had to make me go home at 2:30 AM....Good times! Ha!

Wildlife World Zoo

I haven't been posting like I should I'm behind 3 weeks. So I will start at the begining. We decided to take Brandon to the zoo. Since we a had a coupon for buy one get one free we decided to go to the Wildlife World Zoo. We had a great time. We had perfect weather. So now I will share some pics.

I will spare you the pictures Paul took of the turtles mating.

We will for sure go back to this Zoo...(we already cut another buy one get one free coupon from our egg carton)..hopefully before it gets too hot.

Happy Hour

Last night I went to my first happy hour in years! Cousin Bobby was in town from Virginia so Cousin Roberta set up a happy hour at Ra for all the cousins in the area to meet up with him. It was so much fun. I haven't seen him since my Nana's funeral 2 years ago. It was nice to catch up with everyone. Our lives get so busy with work and kids we just don't hang out like we used to. I know I don't. I feel guilty for leaving B when I have already left him all day to go to work. But last night was good for me. Made me realize I'm still Felicia...not just MOM.
Although, I did tear up when I got home and B was already asleep. I didn't see him at all yesterday. But we made up for it this morning with lots of kisses.
And of course...no one took any pictures of last night. Maybe next time!

Pure Luck

Don't turn your back

Or you just might get this.
He started off throwing all the lids out of the drawer. Then he was trying to get in and sit down...cute right? I turned around to get my camera that was on the other counter when I came back he was standing on the drawer. He's too much to handle.
And they tell me to have another one!! I don't think so!
