The last week...

has been eventful and just flew by. My mom and dad came down from Indiana for a visit. I wish I could go back and play it in slow motion. They were here for a week and it seems like it vanished in an instant. They arrived on friday the 13th. On saturday we had a few friends over to celebrate Tanner's birthday (a little late due to sickness). Thanks to everyone who took time out of their Valentine's Day to celebrate with us. It really meant a lot to Tanner and we all had a blast!

After everyone left, Mom and Dad volunteered to watch the kids so CJ and I could go out. It's been such a long time, and we had a lot of fun. Our friends Clinton and Jenny went with us. We had dinner at our favorite local mexican restraunt and then we went bowling. Too fun!! I suck at bowling but it was still loads of fun.
Sunday was a lazy day filled with food, naps, and of course - THE DAYTONA 500!!
Monday I took mom to a local scrapbook store to buy gifts for pokeno. She was totally overwhelmed. I remember feeling that way when I started scrapbooking. We went back home and mom made dinner and I made Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie - it was CJ's birthday.
Tuesday I was gone about half the day running errands and buying a new vehicle. :-) I don't have it in my possession yet, but when I do you'll get pictures. It's an old vehicle but it's new to me and I'm excited. It runs, which my car was about to not do any longer, and it has more room - yeah for Tanner who is always squished between the two car seats in the back. Then Tuesday night I drug Mom to pokeno with me. We had a good time, and I'm glad some of my friends got to meet my mom.
Wednesday was Morgan's birthday. We went to the Granbury town square and did some window shopping. Stopped at Rinky Tinks for lunch and headed back home. Because the previous few days had been so busy I was not really in party mode. I did manage to bake a small cake and we celebrated at home with just mom and dad.

Happy Birthday Morgan!

In keeping with the tradition Morgan got his first 4-wheeler for his second birthday. He's still learning to like it. I'm sure it won't take long before he's wheeling all over the place.

Thursday and Friday we just kind of hung out, which was nice. CJ left friday afternoon for Shreveport to stalk the professional fishermen during the BASSMASTER Classic. For those of you who know nothing about fishing the Classic is like the Superbowl of bass fishing. I've talked to him several times and he's having a blast. We took the kids to Granbury City park to play for a little while then we went to Logan's for dinner. Dad and Tanner had a blast throwing peanut shells at each other.
Saturday Mom and Dad left before the chickens woke up. I took Tanner to his baseball tryouts. He did really good. We'll get a call sometime this week to find out what team we're on and when we start practicing.
After that we went to Southlake to the Lego Education Center for Johnny's birthday party. We had a really great time and I did the cake:

That made for a pretty tiring week and I'm enjoying resting today. Have a great sunday everyone!
