Miscellaneous

We had a lovely vacation last weekend to Denver and the Starfest Sci-fi convention. It was a lot of fun, especially since we left the kids with their grandparents. It was a nice weekend getaway, but definitely needed to be a couple days longer. Here's a few fun pics. Plus some other miscellaneous pics of the kids having fun.

Blogging backgrounds

Thanks to www.thecutestblogontheblock.com I've learned how to create my own blog backgrounds. It's been really fun to find different pictures and things that I can use to do this. I did one for Neils' blog too and just finished mine today. If you go to the site check out their blog secrets section and you too can learn to do this and more for yourself. Have fun!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! This picture reminds me of the cards and pictures my mom used to clip out and save for decorating or tracing or just clip art. It brings back fond memories of my parents.

Easter has come quickly and we've been trying to prepare for it by cleaning, decorating and preparing to host our family gathering this year. We're excited to be able to have all our family here and enjoy a fun time together. It will be the first planned event at our house since we moved in and we're excited to have everyone here and see how everyone fits in our new home. Unfortunately the weather is not going to cooperate and let us spend time outdoors, but I'm sure we'll be able to have more get togethers when it's nicer weather. Wish us luck.

Formal Dance

In November we were able to go to a formal dance. It was a lot of fun. I love to play dress up. Here are a couple pictures. We were able to be there with my brother-in-law and his wife. It was fun.

It's My Birthday Shout Hooray!

Happy Birthday to me! Thanks for everyone's well wishes for my birthday. We celebrated yesterday. My husband and kids let me sleep in til 10:30 am. What a wonderful treat. We also grabbed some dinner and went to a movie, Aliens vs Monsters or is it Monsters and Aliens. Either way I was surprised at how funny it was. I really did enjoy myself, especially since we didn't have the kids with us. My niece Jessica was wonderful to come and babysit for us. We then came home. We were going to do more, but I ended up with a sinus infection and spent most of the day resting in bed and in the recliner. Neils has been so good to take care of me. He even got me breakfast in bed, isn't he sweet. Hope you all are having a wonderful day in this spring snow. I'll be grateful for it to go away!!! Spring please come soon!
