a little of what we've been up to...

we've had an eventful several days here.  thought i'd share...

Thursday we celebrated this guys 9th birthday

by watching him & his team play in the last game of a ball tournament.  Evan was over the top excited to be able to play baseball on his birthday... I don't think he would've wanted to be anywhere else!  & guess what?

they played an AWESOME game, won 3rd place in the tournament {Evan's birthday wish}... they were sooo excited!  I'm so happy for them... they are a great bunch of kids!

silly boys!  {group photos by Kathie Brune}

my parents were camping out in our "campground" for about a week... we love when they come to stay!  I think the kids talked them into campfires about every night... complete with smores! 

playing with pet sticks? well, whatever keeps her busy.. & happy :)

our 17th anniversary was Saturday... we started the morning off with a short, but hot & hilly 2 mile run up & down our road.

love this guy with all my heart :)

& then we had a birthday party for Evan in the afternoon.  Lots of fun :)

So that's a quick recap... hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Easter weekend recap

I can't believe Easter has come & gone once again!  The kids were lucky enough to finally get a little break from school after spending most of their days off of school recently as snow make up days.  They had a long weekend of Good Friday off, the weekend & then Monday too.  I tried my best to take it easy those days to do some stuff with them.  Thursday night my neice came to stay & then Friday I took them all to see Rio.

it was a nice break in our day since it's been rainy, cold & just not good outside weather.  the popcorn was great too :)  I was also gearing up for Easter Brunch {on Saturday} with my family at our house, so of course I was doing lots of cleaning & preparing for that.  We've also been doing a lot of "disaster clean up" recently... the 4 year in our house has been on a whirlwind of getting into everything, which most generally ends up in some sort of clean up!  I enjoyed taking some slow time with the kids, though, I haven't done that for a while & it was much over-due! 

Here's what I did Saturday morning...

yep, this is me & my "big sister" Carol pre-5k! It was the first time for the both of us :) I LOVED it!  Can't wait for my next 5k & I'm already working on my speed/endurance to have a faster finish.  This time I finished running/walking it in approx. 42 minutes.  I'm so proud of Carol for accomplishing this goal too... I don't think we ever would have thought of doing it a year ago!  I'm looking forward to May 14th, when my sisters' Carol & Kim & my mom Mary & I are all going to do the Weight Watchers 5k with our group.  It should be fun & again, I'm so proud of them all for pushing themselves to this goal!  Next will be a 5k with my hubby... yep, I'm holding you to it Danno :)  He's also been plugging away recently on the treadmill... I'm hoping to get one in with our boys over the summer too.  Anywhoo... after the 5k, we hurried back to my house to eat somethin' & let the kids hunt eggs.  Lydia couldn't wait :)

then we were off to a 50th birthday party to end the night... whew!

Easter was a much more layed back day... breakfast, Church, bbq lunch & hanging out on the porch & then Dairy Queen for supper ;)  I was able to snap some pics before church of my cuties...

& of course some 4 wheeler rides were in order to finish out the day...

hope you all had an incredible Easter & were able to spend some valuable time with your families as well!

have a great day {robyn}
