Steve's Wedding

Steve's wedding was so nice. He included all of the kids. Tyler escorted my Mom down the isle, Michayla, Brittani, Riley Jo, & Shawna were all flower girls, and Kyle was the ring bearer. They all did a great job! It was so cute to see the little girls walk down with the big girls. Steve & Jeannine wrote their own vows and they were so sweet. The reception was a lot of fun too. It was great to see so many people we grew up with that we haven't seen for so long. The kids all had a good time dancing too!

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY

I know your all probably shocked I'm doing 2 blogs in 1 day. But, it just seemed nothing really interesting was going on lately but this is blog worthy. This morning I was woken up by my husband at 8:00 am (yeah I finally made it past the 7:00 hour). In his hands was a plate full of Scrambled Eggs, bacon, fresh cut up strawberries, and a rose. It was delicious. Then when I came out to the kitchen, on the table was a huge bouquet of roses all different colors. It was beautiful. Then he made the kids breakfast, and cleaned up afterward. Too bad everyday can't be Mother's Day! But it was nice for a day! :)

Kyle's Hit

Kyle has been playing T-ball since the end of March. At the end of April the coaches started pitching 3 balls to the kids and if they miss those, then they bring the tee in. Well, Kyle is too busy watching the shadows or the players (I'm sure he's just trying to find the best spot to put the ball and the coach just throws the ball too early). Well yesterday Kyle hit the ball the coach pitched all the way up the middle. It was a great hit! He was so excited. And so were we.

Easter

This morning we did an Easter Egg Hunt with Kyle & Riley. Riley woke us all up at about 7:15. I went in to get her and she wanted her shoes on. So I tried to get her dressed first but she wanted her dress shoes on top of her footed PJs. We tried to put her slippers on but she refused. She is so funny about her shoes. So we put her dress shoes on & Kyle put his slippers on and we went outside to do the Egg Hunt. Kyle was excited to see what the Easter Bunny had left for him. He was excited to find a Skateboard, caution cones, a water bottle and candy in his Easter Basket. He also received a pair of PJs. Riley had a pair of PJs, a bunny, a bike helmet and a small bag of M&Ms. Once she saw the M&Ms the egg hunt was over. When we came back inside Kyle wanted to put on his new PJs. So of course, Riley had to follow. Her PJs were a Tank top and either a pair of pants or shorts. Once I put on the tank top though, she thought it was a dress so she wouldn't let me put on the bottoms. Then she went to her room and grabbed her jelly shoes to put on with what she thought was a dress.

My Husband is the BEST!!

So I have to brag a little about Chris. Yesterday tickets to the Tim Mcgraw concert went on sale. I know I shouldn't buy tickets on Sunday but they go on sale on Sunday and his concerts usually sell out quite quickly so I didn't want to take that chance. All of you know how much I enjoy Tim's music and his concerts are always tons of fun!! So I was on the computer trying to get the BEST seats possible (Which translates to the closest seats possible). I wasn't having much luck. I kept getting the 1st deck but in the corners and like 23 rows up, not on the sides. So Chris hops on the laptop and says, Hey I have floor seats, 18th row. I was shocked, I ran into the other room and couldn't believe it. I don't know how he was able to get those seats and I wasn't but, needless to say he found and purchased the tickets so He bought me 18th row seats to Tim Mcgraw and I am so excited!

Things that make you go hmmm

I have always had a hard time understanding Kyle and I thought it was because of his language barriers. But after a conversation with him tonight, it reminded me of other conversations I have had with him. I came to the conclusion that it's because most of his conversation topics come out of thin air. Completely random that don't have anything to do with other things being discussed so I am unable to understand him most of the time. (Plus it doesn't help that he always leaves out the verbs in every sentence.) Anyway, as most of you know, Kyle has always had these mini conversations with my dad long after his passing. We are working on his second year now and Kyle will still see him every now and again in the clouds. Well tonight out of nowhere he asked me where Papa's house was. Well, knowing exactly who he meant (my dad), I asked him "Papa who?" He said Papa Tom (my dad). I told him that Papa didn't have a home. And he asked me again. "Where's Papa's house?" Again I told him that Papa didn't have a house. Now he's growing agitated with me and he asked, mad this time. "Where is Papa's House." So, I said him "I don't know what house you are talking about because grandpa died so he doesn't have a house anymore." Then he says to me that Papa's house is in Heaven. And I asked him "Grandpa lives in a house in heaven?" And he said "Yes, who built it?" I had to laugh at this point, a little frustrated because he seemed to know more than me at this point and I didn't know how to answer it because I know he would correct me anyway so I told him that I didn't know who built it. And asked him "Do you?" and He said "Jesus built it. He's an angel now and angels need a place to live too." It makes you wonder how much a five year old may still remember, after passing through the Vail.
