Well this weekend was nice. My brother Jason came home from Oregon for the weekend. He is a very funny man, and it was nice to visit with him. He hasn't been homre for a while.

This week has been crazy busy...we are going to be going camping for Memorial Day weekend this weekend and we have been trying to get everything ready. If my bike gets out of the shop it will be the first time I get to ride it. Not that the St. Anthony sand dunes are the place to learn to ride a dirt bike.

Courtney thinks his bike isn't big enough, so he is off buying him a new one. So if you know anyone interested in a a dirt bike, we are going to sell his other one. I swear that man is never content.

MadiLynne is now 6 weeks old. I can't hardly believe it. Man does time fly...before you know it I will be back to work. Her little personality is starting to show. She is smiling and tries talking to us. One of the best things too is that she is sleeping through the night, she sleeps a good 8 hours a night. My boys were good sleepers but so far she wins!

Seth and I are having a good time hanging out while I am off as well. Although he still goes to daycare a couple times a week. I think he gets bored and likes to get some kid interaction there.

Aiden is almost done with school, only 7 more days....yeah! I am sick of early bed times. His baseball is going really well. He really enjoys it this year. He too is excited for this weekend and getting on his dirt bike.

I will post some pics of the camp trip when we get home. I am wondering if I should buy a Life Flight membership before we leave for Court....

Mother's Day & MadiLynne's Blessing Day

Mother's Day this year was special in that MadiLynne was blessed by Courtney. Court was really nervous but he did a great job. My mom had kept the dress I was blessed in 33 years ago, and so she pulled it out, washed it up and ironed it and MadiLynne was blessed in my blessing dress.

I also took it upon myself to buy me a Mother's day present which I love. I bought myself a Tiffany & Co. bracelet with a charm that says Mom. I also sent it with a really nice card to myself. ;-) I really like it! Courtney also bought my "shopping bag" from Old Navy. (Am I the only person that shops online, filling the shopping bag and then never buying it? It gets my shopping fix taken care of and doesn't cost me a dime!)

MadiLynne is now a month old and I am getting closer and closer to having to go back to work. I have really enjoyed being off and spending time with all my kids. Hopefully summer will actually start while I am still off and we will get in some good playing time.

We are looking forward to getting out camping. We hope to take the dirt bikes and trailer out to the St. Anthony dunes over Memorial Day weekend. I still haven't had the chance to ride my dirt bike yet, maybe this weekend will be nice enough for me to get dirty.

Hello everyone...let's see how this works.

Today was the first quite nice day, so the boys hit it hard playing outside and Courtney worked on the yard. Our yard has a million projects that need to be completed if we are going to attempt to sell it any time soon.

MadiLynne and I stayed in, I did housework, MadiLynne did a lot of eating, sleeping and pooping. I guess that is all you can expect her to do for a 1 month old. I can't believe she is already a month old, unfortunately I will be back to work before too long. We will be blessing her tomorrow, on Mother's Day. Unfortunately, due to me she is going to look ridiculous for her pictures too, I have scrubbed most of the top of her hair off....I know, why did I do that? It was unintential her head was peeling and driving me crazy. She also has a ton of baby acne right now. That is driving me crazy too, but there is nothing that I can do about. ;-(

Well, Court has asked I clean up the front yard before he gets home from his haircut, so I am off.
