Mexico

I don't know what else to say but WOW! We had a great time. Relaxing on the beach, buffets of food, snorkeling, jetskiing, fun with the best of friends, shopping, kereoke, dancing, card playing and time with my sweetheart...I put on 6 pounds in 6 days! But of all of this I again realized how important my time is with my family and how much I love and missed my kids. We had quite a scare when the ship suddenly tilted to avoid striking a buoy. For a few minutes there Billy and I thought we would have to literally jump ship and all I could think of was I needed to survive to be here for my kids. Thankfully we weren't among the injured and we were protected. Family is everything.

easter

On Easter Sunday we celebrated the boys birthdays along with Grandpa Greg. Earlier in the week Grandma had the kids over to dye eggs and make cookies. It was fun to watch all the kids hunt for eggs...Savannah was so cute putting eggs in the other kids baskets to make sure they had enough. It was good to have all the grandparents together...I am really appreciating having this time with them. Oh and it wouldn't be a get together if someone didn't loose a tooth!(emily)

part-ay

So our friend Cyndi is getting married and we had a bachelorette party starting at On the Border for dinner then to Cyndis future home where we put on a Beyonce dance for her and followed it up with hot tubing and fun gifts. We had a great spread of more food and strawberry virgin daquaries. I am so lucky to have such fun friends.

batting cages

It was such a nice day and the first time in a long while with no basketball games; we decided to hit the batting cages. They pitch at 40mph and its pretty difficult for us to hit but they all knocked out a few...but Billy had to show us how its really done and hit all the 80mph pitches...

Supper Club Valentines day

We had a wonderful Italian style dinner with beautiful decorations from our friends Nissalynne and Wendy.

Cookies with and without splenda

So my sister and I decided to make cookies. We both used the Nestle toll house recipe and I altered mine by using two different types of splenda for the white and brown sugars. Hers looked and tasted great and mine only tasted great. This is what they both looked like after being cooked.
