OK, I know I have been totally lame on the blog front. Life has been SO busy that I have not had time to update.

The biggest news that I have is that we are expecting a BABY GIRL at the beginning of July.
I will try to be better about keeping this site up to date, but life has showed no signs of slowing down. I did resign my PTA board position for next year, so I am excited about that. I will stick to being a general member and homeroom mom. I just signed Nikki up for Kindergarten for this fall. I'm sad about that- she has been a good little buddy to have around. She is constantly making me laugh. We had a mommy horse and 2 baby horses wandering around our neighborhood for the past couple days and so when we were leaving the neighborhood in our car I told Nikki and Dylan to look for the horses. Nikki my 4 year old said, "Mom I think you should concentrate on your driving and not looking for horses." She defiantly soaks up every thing she hears.

We go to a fun Easter carnival. The chicks were all dyed different colors. They looked so cute, but I felt sorry for them.

My mom, my sister Emily and I decorate Easter cookies. All the really cute ones were decorated by my sister.

For Dylan's 3rd Birthday we went to the Circus.

Everyone wanted a camel ride except for the Birthday boy. He said it was too scary.

We have a Lightning McQueen birthday party for Dylan. He is obsessed with the movie cars.

We spend some time in WASHINGTON DC

Dylan loves to take bubble baths. What a mess it always turns out to be. We end up with bubbles everywhere.

Matt and I spend the weekend alone in Oklahoma City! We go visit the site of the Oklahoma City bombing.
