Spring Has Sprung...FINALLY!

So after a dreadful winter (that I was sure would never end) I think that Spring is trying to break through! Today I drove home from work with the windows rolled down and the sunroof open! It was beautiful! Then when I got home I noticed that our flowering plum trees had their first blooms!Because it was such a great day, we decided to work out in the yard for a bit this evening. My hubby put together our new sprinkling system in our garden...sometimes it blows my mind at how clever he can be with things! (Yeah he's being a punk and covering his face, he hates pics)

Toby was so funny. We let him out in the front yard (which we rarely do because he likes to run to the neighbors) and instead of basking in his freedom, he wanted to sit on my lap the whole time...he is the definition of a lap dog! When I started helping out in the yard, and he couldn't sit on my lap he went back in the house and acted mad...this was a shot I got at him glaring out at us.
So anyways I just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY SPRING! It really is coming...there is a light at the end of the snowy, cold tunnel!

Jarrett's First Turkey!

I got a phone call last night from my 8 year old nephew Jarrett and he told me his exciting news! He bagged his first "big tom" last night at about 8:00 p.m. I haven't really heard the story yet, but I thought I'd post some pics.

New Moon & Eclipse

Well, I finished both New Moon and Eclipse this week, and they were just as compelling as the first book. However, now that I'm done I'm not quite sure what to do with myself until August! I have gotten into such a habit of reading that my DVR has filled up with unwatched tv shows that for some reason just don't seem as interesting as the story of the book. I'm excited for May, when Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host, comes out and hopefully that will help tide me over until the 4th and final book of the Twilight Series is released. I may even pull out my old copy of Wuthering Heights, after hearing about it so much in these books. Anybody else have any suggestions?

Happy 4th Birthday Saige!

Birthday Girl! 4 going on 24!

The Princess Cake. My sister in law is a master cake decorator!
Opening presents! We got her this Disney Fairies book, and a cute butterfly hopscotch mat.Her little sister Cierra was such a great help...she opened half of Saige's presents before she got to them!Here are some pic of her playing with her new presents!

New Cheerleader in town!

I just wanted to share the exciting news! Hannah (Billy's sis) made Cheer at the new Salem Hills High School!

I am so excited for her! Cheer was such a wonderful experience and I have such great memories! I know that it will help make her high school years a blast!

Twilight--Book Review

So, I'm probably really behind...in that alot of people have probably already read the entire Twilight series, but last night I finished reading Twilight...and all I can say is WOW!

What a wonderfully seducing story! As fan of most things Vampire/Supernatural (i.e., Buffy, Angel, Underworld, etc...) I was very eager to read this book. The passion between the characters is so captivating! Every chapter leaves you wanting more...It was SOOO difficult to put down! The characters are so vivid, so intense, that you feel like you are standing there witnessing the entire thing with your own eyes! I am so intrigued by the romance between the main characters, its so thrilling, and star-crossed! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great love story full of suspense and passion!

I am headed to B&N on my lunch hour to pick up the next book in the series, New Moon and I can't wait to start reading it!

Wisdom teeth, sweet girls, and taking a drive!

I finally gave in to my dentist and went and got my wisdom teeth out on Friday. I was dreading it horribly, but it really hasn't been that bad. They put me out with an IV and I didn't feel a thing! Billy said it only took them about 25-30 minutes. So far I haven't had much pain, just some stiffness, and luckily I haven't swelled up to chipmunk cheeks yet..but they say the 3rd day is the worst for swelling!

Anyways, I just wanted to share some fun pics I took this weekend.

First off, I spent most of Saturday hanging out with my two neices, Saige and Cierra. They are so freaking cute! Saige's birthday is next week and when I asked her what she wanted me to get her, she responded with "a pin the tail on the scooter and just some games"...whatever that means! Its was better than her previous answer of "just a little bit of everything". She is one of the smartest almost 4 year olds I know, yesterday she was showing me and my mom how to spell her name in sign language!

Last night Billy and I went to get a shake and some fries (since I am still on a soft diet). We took Toby along, and he loves to stick his head out the window as we drive. While we were waiting in line at the Santaqueen I opened the sunroof, and we let Toby chill out of it. I just thought it was so freaking hilarious, he LOVED it! He got his spring hair cut on Friday, and I always love it when he gets a hair cut because you can see his cute face! (I don't know why he looks so ticked off in the pic!) Don't worry, one day we might have kids so you don't have to always hear about our dog :) HAHA!
