Sunday

It's been nice to actually go to church together on Sunday. Jimmy always had to be in church for meetings, so I would have to get all 3 kids ready and meet him there. Life is so much easier having him home in the morning! I took the kids to my field trip at the YMCA last Friday. We were the first in line to get these balloon swords, and somehow we were STILL standing there 20 min. later!
I don't know how appropriate this picture is, but I swear, it's a SWORD hahahaha!

Finally I have carpet!!!

Well, we put our addition on 2 years ago and cost WAY more than expected! As many people know, we had NO carpet in our bedroom...which wasn't terrible because we just kept the door closed all the time LOL. We decided to use some of our tax money and buy carpet!!! Woohoo :) It's the simple things that make me happy haha! Our house is slowly coming together, we still need to put trim inside..UGH...at least the majority of the new addition is now finished...oh and we still haven't touched our ceilings yet LOL...that'll be a while! I still laugh when I look at our closet/bathroom!!! It definitely was NOT planned that way...it was supposed to be a nice, big walk-in closet...after it was framed in, we decided to put a sink and toilet in..then have the closet in the back...well...last minute we said...let's put a stand-up shower in too...which made things hard because the only place the shower could go was against the back wall...needless to say..now you have to walk through a closet-type area to get to the bathroom LOL...at least it's just our bathroom and no one uses it but US!

My kiddos are growing fast STILL...Brinley is now 13 months old and not walking yet! Over the past day or so she has been taking little steps by herself though. She is so high-energy that she just stands and tries to RUN or drops to the floor to crawl as fast as she can to get to something because she's nosey. Easton is talking WAY too much now! He is still shy in public though...but at home he's getting annoying haha! Tristan is a spoiled little boy....way spoiled..I shouldn't complain because I made him that way. He's the king of the house because Jimmy is barely here during tax season from Jan. to April...so Tristan runs the house pretty much. Tristan and Easton are just starting to fight over things and argue..I'm in for it! Brinley is not talking yet...she just babbles and yells...then screams when she wants something..like FOOD!

We are planning on celebrating Easter this year at Austin and Crystal's house with the Drake fam...tax season is ALMOST over and then our lives can be back to normal...with a Daddy that's home on Sat.'s and and more during the week...since he leaves the house by 5am and doesn't get home until 11ish at night...so the kids will be excited to actually see their Daddy other than on Sun. That's all I got for now, Syracuse plays in the NCAA tournament tonight at 7pm and miraculously Jimmy will be home to watch it...so we're taking advantage and ordering some Mama G's :) Go SU!
