2 Grandparents and a Great Deal!

Yesterday Lydia and I spent the morning with my mom and dad.  This was Lydia’s first trip to her Granny and Granddaddy’s and the spoiling started right off the bat.  With any slight whimper she was scooped up and rocked, and the rocking and holding lasted pretty much the entire time we were there! I guess that’s what grandparents are for, huh?!

And I just have to share this:  For lunch we had an unbeatable deal from Pizza Hut.  The meal deal consisted of a personal pan pizza, 4 breadsticks, 4 cinnamon sticks and a fresh salad.  All of that was only $5!!!  To top it off, the large tea was only 99 cents!I’m not sure if this deal is available at all locations, but it is worth checking into.  I do know that it is only a lunch deal, but you could always buy it at lunch and then eat it for dinner.  I’m all about anything that keeps me out of the kitchen! haha 

I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Our Easter

I’m sure you thought you would open this post to see lots of lots of pictures of our family all decked out in our Easter attire, digging through our Easter baskets, and hunting tons of colorful eggs.  Well, that is not the case.  This Easter was not typical…

We didn’t dye Easter eggs, but the Easter Bunny did stop by with a few goodies:

I didn’t take any “formal” pictures, but take my word for it:  Mackaylan and Mickey were dressed to impress.  Mackaylan has been looking forward to wearing her “Easter prom dress” for weeks!  Yesterday when she came home from school she put her dress back on and we went outside for a quick photo shoot!

I didn’t even go to church on Sunday, but Lydia and I went and watched the dress rehearsal on Saturday night.  This year we had an Easter drama that incorporated music, acting and interpretive movement.  It was amazing and many lives were changed. 

However, no matter what did or did not happen this Easter, it’s great to know that I serve a risen Savior!  I had to do a lot of self-talk to remind myself that it’s not about me, my expectations, or traditions.  Easter (and everyday) is all about Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made so that I can live eternally with Him!

The 1st of Many…

Last night we all ventured out for the first time (besides going to the doctor’s office) to eat dinner with Grams, Pop-O, and Aunt Betsi.  We enjoyed a nice taco dinner and a fun night just being together. 

This is just the first of many visits for Miss Lydia.  I’m not sure what Grams and Pop-O are going to do when they have two little girls begging to go home with them and spend the night.  Do they make a bed bigger than a King?  Well, at least Lydia will be in a crib for a few years! :)

Happy Saturday!

Did you know that today is National High Five Day?  Well, it is, and it seems Lydia wanted to celebrate as well…

It’s amazing the things you learn by watching your local morning talk show! Ha!

This morning my cousins and Aunt Sandra came by for a visit.  We had such a fun time talking and sharing life’s stories.  We discussed everything from the “Royal Wedding” to salmon patties! There’s just nothing like family!

You love them even when they walk in your house with a box of 6 warm Bo-Berry Biscuits drizzled lightly with vanilla frosting just begging to be eaten.  I am never going to lose this baby weight eating like this….

On a more serious note, my heart is full of joy on this beautiful Thursday evening.  I am blessed with a husband who loves me more than words, two beautiful, healthy baby girls, and family and friends that have showered us with visits, delicious dinners, phone calls, texts, cards, and prayers over the past few weeks.  Thankful is definitely the word of the day!

And because I want this post to live up to its name as the most random post ever…  A quick pic of my two little girls all ready for bed!  I thought it was just too cute to not share. Good night!
