holy buckets...

Hey All!!

It has been awhile...oofta! :-) The everyday adventures of life have been keeping us busy and away from blogging!
Things have been good for us for a change!! Even a couple BIG *NEW* things too that we're all enjoying and loving!
First things...Julia is walking!! It sure makes me feel old when i know both girls are off doing their own thing or playing together and that they both get around just fine now. But it's a sign that they're growing up and thats a wonderful thing too!
Secondly...Kira is POTTY TRAINED!!! holy cow i never thought this day would come!! It's insane! She finally decided that she's willing to give it a try for us and she took right off. Now her favorite thing at the store is buying big girl underwear! but hey, i'll trade that anyday for buying diapers and constantly changing a diaper on either her for Julia! Now it gives me more motivation to start earlier on Julia too. I want her potty training adventure to go a little smoother than Kira's.
Thirdly...I decided to go out on a limb and buy Tom a little more expensive birthday present this year. I got him a new LCD TV. It's a lot bigger than our last 27'' tv. But it's wonderful! We LOVE it. It makes playing wii and watching TV so much more fun on a big screen! Good times! And most importantly, he loved it! i got him some smaller gifts too cause the TV really has been enjoyed by us all!

Easter is quickly coming up!! Isn't it amazing how fast spring is taking over! I love it. Our garden is VERY plentiful this year with all sorts of flowers! I can't wait for them to really take bloom and brighten up the yard. We got some new lillies that I had planted last year from our neighbor and they rooted well and are coming back up already this year too! It's so nice!
We're heading down the Marlin's for Easter this year. All of Tom's brothers and the wives and aunts and uncles and grandparents are going to be there too. It should be a good time. It's really a great family to celebrate Easter with. It's truely getting together and never forgetting and always remembering what we're really getting together for! And thats whats most important.

Well...time to sign off for now!!

Take Care!!

Have a Happy Easter!
