1. Zac has his first practice game today.

2. I am hosting a Premier Design jewelry party Thursday night at work. If you are reading this consider yourself invited. B.J. has started selling it and in an effort to be a good mother-in-law I agreed to host a party for her. Not to mention the great hostess benefits!! You get 30% of the party total in free jewelry and 4 chances to have an additional $25.00 in free jewelry. My mother-in-law just earned over $290.00 in few jewelry at her party. So if you are interested let me know and I’ll hook you up with B.J.!

3. Gas has gone over $3.00 a gallon and I have started changing my driving habits. I try to make sure that I’m not using any more gas than I need to! I’d rather spend my money on something fun!

4. Because of gas prices I am definitely loving my car and the mileage it gets! Although I do have to admit that I have missed the Montero’s sun roof a little last week when it was so pretty.

5. I had acrylic tips put on my nails for Easter. I was only going to keep them for a week or so, but I am actually getting used to them and might try to keep them a little longer. They do make my fingers look good.

6. Along the same vanity lines I am going to have my gray covered Sunday. I can’t wait.

7. Ronnie and I are working really hard to be debt free by the end of the year. It is really hard not to buy bedroom furniture.

8. I did a lot of deep cleaning in the boys’ rooms during spring break. Their dressers and closets look so good right now! I wonder how long that will last.

9. Justin’s summer clothes from last year were size 8. He is currently in 12s. His Easter shirt, which was a 12, fit perfectly and I had expected it would be a little big. This kid is growing so fast and eating me out of house and home!

10. The boys got Nintendo DS games in their Easter baskets. Justin got Brian Age and Zac got Cooking Mama. They are both pretty cool.

Have a good week. I can’t wait for the warmer weather that is supposed to be here by the end of the week!

Happy Easter All!

The boys hunted eggs several times this weekend but I only managed to catch the church egg hunt on camera.

And the boys before church.

Throwback Thursday

Okay so today was the first day of spring, but a couple of weeks ago we had snow on the ground. (For all you yankee readers this is major snow in Alabama).

10 on Tuesday

1. It's Spring Break!! I also took the week off from work and the weather has been great. Zac said today that Spring Break has only been around for a couple of years because they didn't have it when he was in preschool. I didn't correct him.
2. Yesterday was St Patrick's Day and my niece Kailyn's birthday. Happy Birthday Kailyn.
3. Today was errand day. Zac came with me because he needed his glasses adjusted. We also went to the bank, the dry cleaners, Church Cooperation, got an oil change, and a car wash. He was a good errand buddy! Here's a long over due picture of him with his glasses:
4. Speaking of overdue pictures here are a couple from Trae's visit a couple of weeks ago. Zac wanted Trae to "sit" on his bed but Trae only wanted to smile and talk to Justin.
5. I am using this week to deep clean one room each day. Good thing I have a small house! The living room looks good, just don't look at the rest of the house yet.
6. They are painting at work this week. Boy am I glad I took off! Some of my coworkers think I planned it that way. I didn't, but I am loving it!
7. I have cooked the last two nights. My family doesn't know what to think. I got a good recipe from a friend that was super easy and everyone ate it up. Brown 1.5 lbs of hamburger meat. When it's done add a can of cream of mushroom soup with half a can of milk and half a can of water. Heat it through and serve with rice and peas (all mixed together). Easy, Fast and Good.
8. Ronnie got a Nintendo DS last week and he is loving it! It was an early Birthday present since he couldn't find one after Christmas.
9. Zac got a game for his Nintendo DS that helps with his eyes. It is called flash focus and he plays it when he wears his patch. It does an eye check and tells you what age your eyes are. It then keeps track of your progress. His original score was 74 and he has improved to 71 in 2 weeks. (Remember this is with his good eye covered.)
10.Have a good week!

Wonderful Weekend!

The weather this weekend was absolutely beautiful! We opened all the windows and turned on the ceiling fans. The boys played outside almost all weekend. The only thing that brought them inside was when Trae came to visit on Saturday.

Justin had his first baseball practice Saturday and Zachary will have his first today. Somehow Ronnie also inherited a t-ball team. We don't even have any kids playing t-ball this year--go figure. He is hoping to guilt a parent into stepping up and coaching the team at their first practice today.

I took some pictures of Justin, Zac and Trae this weekend that I will post soon!
