Easter Pictures!!

We had our friend Lance take the kids Easter pictures and as always he did a beautiful job!
Here is a taste of it
!


Ok that was more than a taste, but I can't stop myself when it comes to my beauties!

Hip Is Feeling Better!

I had skating tonight and my hip felt really good, granted I only had class tonight and not a private lesson so I didn't skate as long, but still my hip kept up and it felt good. I will probably only have one more PT session and then I will be on my own to strengthen it up, but I can notice a difference already on the ice and I have more good days than bad pain wise now, hopefully it will keep getting better. I had to rush home from skating because Matt had a lodge meeting again tonight, so we didn't get to watch LOST yet bummer and I had to get Logan to bed while dealing with Ava which always makes for a fun night. Logan went to bed fairly easy for me though and now Ava is asleep, in her crib (Whoo Hoo!) and Matt is still not home from his meeting. I hope he knows he is heading out to get diapers once he gets home, we are dangerously low...

Whoo Hoo For Counter Space!

Matt finally got the new microwave range installed and it works and everything! It is sooo nice not having the microwave on the counter now, so much more counter space, it's awesome. Of course the new microwave makes our stove look even more outdated so I can't wait to get the new stove now. It's true what they say you shouldn't start redecorating for remolding because you won't want to stop, there is always something else to fix. Anyway, I am very proud of Matt he did everything without really knowing what he was doing, he is so handy.

In other excitement, I had my eye exam tonight and I no longer have the astigmatism in my right eye that I did last year, this is awesome news because contact lenses for astigmatism are really expensive!

Anyway, her is our new range hood in all it's glory.

Busy Sunday

We had another busy Sunday, two birthday parties to be exact. First we headed over to my Godsons 5th birthday party, Logan had been looking forward to playing with his cousins all week, so he of course had a ball and was not happy when it was time to leave to go over my step-grandma's house for her 80th birthday, but he survived. We had a nice dinner and some cake over at Grandma's then headed home. Hubby is currently trying to finish putting up the range hood microwave, but from the sounds coming out of the kitchen doesn't sound like it's going to well. I can't wait to have the kitchen in order again, having the power off is annoying. I can't wait until the kitchen is all done, it's going to look so much better! Our new sink should be here about the middle of next month and we are also getting a new stove. The only thing we have to wait on is he new fridge, the one I really wants is spendy, got to save those pennies. Off to relax busy week coming up!

Surprise!

We headed up to WI today for my Aunt's surprise 50th birthday party, and yes she was very surprised! Logan had a blast playing with his cousins and Ava had all the attention she could ever want, I don't think she got put down the whole day. The kids slept on the way home so Matt and I had a nice ride back to IL. Once we got home we got Logan to bed, which took forever because of course he woke up right before we got home, all refreshed from his 2 + hour nap on the way home, so he didn't get to bed until 10 (great we have two more birthday parties tomorrow he ought to be chipper for those) and Matt worked in the kitchen some more, finished caulking changed the light switch covers. Tomorrow we have my cousins sons 5th birthday party to go to and then we are going over to my step-grandmas to see her for her 80th birthday, so I am off to bed, well not until I am done watching season one of Glee, which I am now totally addicted too...

Look It's Bob The Builder...

My boys are so handy...

Updates...

1. my corned beef and cabbage dinner turned out sooooo good, we have a lot of left overs too, very excited about that! Logan loved it so that was a plus and we gave Ava some bananas for the first time, she wasn't to keen on them (yes I know you are suppose to start with veggies then move to fruit, but really it doesn't matter all kids end up liking fruit more) she was making some funny faces while trying to eat it, got some pictures of that.

2. The counter top are done! They turned out so nice, my hubby rocks. He still has to caulk around the back splashes and we are still waiting for our new sink, but the big project is done at least! Up next is putting in the new range hood microwave, that should be interesting.

3. Ava slept in her crib for the first time last night, hopefully we will have a repeat performance again tonight. Logan woke up but didn't wake her up so that was good, and she doesn't seem to wake him up so that is all working out. Logan wakes up before she does, but he left her alone and she was able to sleep. Whoo Hoo!

4. I skated on Tuesday, I had taken last week off because of ice time being cancelled and wanting my hip to rest a bit because the PT is really working it hard. So my hip felt great for the first 30 minutes, then it was bothering me a lot more than usual on the ice, by the time I got to my lesson I was pretty much spent, hopefully it will be better next week, it has to get better otherwise I don't know how I will get through the ice show.

5. As I was getting Logan's bath water ready tonight, he informed me that he has a little butt, and as I was bending over putting bubbles in the tub, he informed me that I have a big butt. At least he knows his opposites..

Not so into the bananas
