Mother's Day

We had a really nice day today. We didn't go anywhere but just stayed home and hung out together. That doesn't happen a ton around here unless there is football on. Tay made me a really nice scrapbook and gave me a cup with flower seeds (hopefully we can get them to grow). They all got me a really cool planter for flowers. We were going to do our planing today but there is a chance of frost tonight so we decided to wait (Tay is having a fit that we have all the flowers and they are in the garage not planted). Tierney made me a flower with her picture in the middle and each of the petals say something nice (see below).

I like when my mom.....

plays games with me
tucks me in
takes care of me when I'm sick
buys me treats (Tay thought that was terrible to put on there)
reads books to me
helps me pick up my toys
snuggles with me
buys me stuff (again Tay thought that was terrible)
makes me supper (Tay and Marshall laughed at that since they don't think I cook)

Caterpillars

The girls made home made Mother's Day presents for Grandma Thea this year. We picked caterpillars for her garden. The girls had so much fun making them. I think we are going to make some for us! I think they turned out really cute and the girls had a blast!

Tierney Soccer

Tierney is playing soccer for the first time this spring. She is finally old enough. She has been waiting since she has been watching Tay do all the "fun stuff" for years. Apparently last night she spent a lot of time playing in the net! That made her dad real happy... ha. I think she is awful cute!

First Communion

Tay had her First Communion on Sunday. It was really nice. We then had dinner at our house afterwards. Unfortunately Tay didn't feel well after church and laid around the entire time. She ended up being sick and didn't go to school today and won't be going tomorrow (no she doesn't have a fever so I think it is safe to say no swine flu). Hopefully she will be feeling better soon. Poor girl can't catch a break!

Saturday

We had our Girl Scout meeting on Saturday morning. The girls worked on making lap blankets to donate to the nursing home. Marshall's mom came and helped tie the blankets (thank goodness)! The girls then helped serve lunch at the senior center during a fashion show. I think they had a good time.

Dance Pictures

We got the girls' dance pictures back. I think they turned out pretty good. Tay doesn't like her ballet one but I think they all look good. I think Tay looks really old. It is hard to believe that recital is in a couple of weeks. It seems like we just had it!

WOW!

Time flies. It has been forever since I've been on here to post anything. We have been busy. I have been sick with double ear infection and a sinus infection. I have not been feeling the greatest but not much time to rest. Megan and I took Ethin and Tierney to the Thomas show last week and it was really good! I didn't know what to think but it was great and we were in the sixth row! If there weren't five rows of floor seats we would have been the front row. We could see everything. I have also been helping with Tay's softball team. It has been an experience. We have practice a couple nights a week so that is keeping us busy on top of everything else. I will start posting pictures from everything else!
