What a great day! Chase received the gift of a Shocker baseball game date with grandpa which he cashed in on today! The wind was a little cool to start out with....so much so that when Chase got done eating his ice cream (!!!!!) grandpa had to crack the peanuts and put them in Chase's mouth because he was so cold! Grandpa had so much fun teaching Chase about all the details of baseball, especially since Chase sat there for 3 hours without moving! What a special time they had together.
Chad and I decided Emily was in need of a mommy date so she picked a manicure as our destination. We had fun getting our nails done, getting a snack and doing a little shopping.

Kindergarten...here we come!
Oops....my pictures uploaded backward! Anyway, Chase had another session of "Kindergarten Connection" this week, the program that Maize has to prepare incoming Kindergartners to help them adjust. This was the BUS session. The kids did great leaving parents and taking a 15-minute bus ride before returning to the school to play on the playground and eat popsicles.
Getting off the bus.....I was far away and he didn't see me take this!

Our Bunnies
Chad hasn't mowed the backyard for quite some time because he discovered a rabbit nest. Well, our babies are getting bigger and are SO adorable. We wanted to catch one today and watch it grow, but decided it was in the best interest of the little guys to stay with their family. It was sure fun to watch them this afternoon.

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day! I'm sitting in the recliner with my book, computer, camera, phones and a Diet Coke! The kids are watching a movie and Chad is being a loving husband and doing chores. What a great day. I've gotten some static from people lately about not updating the blog....so here goes. I can't update for the last 3 months but I will try to post some things once in awhile.
My new job is going well. Chad's job is going well. Chase celebrated his 5th birthday (I will try to post pics of that event this week.....). The kids have 2 weeks of school left. It's almost summer! YEAH!!!!!!
We went to Cheney yesterday evening and had a great dinner with his parents along with some outside play and even relaxing in the hot tub!
We went to church this morning and then Chad assisted me in teaching the 1st grade Sunday School class. We went to Avivo's Pizzeria for lunch which worked out great....we were the first customers which meant no wait and the food was excellent. We made a quick run to Target and then home for the rest of the day.

Relaxed!
I am relaxed! This is the result of taking the last two weeks off of work. I was done at Range Oil Company on January 16 and I decided I needed some time off before I start work at Grant Thornton on February 2. I also decided that this time off was not meant to clean my house inside out or do lots of chores. This time was needed for me to de-stress, relax and be ready to start my new job with a positive and restful attitude. Here are some of the things I've done:
- FUN, long weekend with Brian, Kim, Aubrey & Abby in Kansas City
- Ability to be home and watch Inauguration coverage at home (AWESOME!)
- Lunch with Emily at her school (I took Wendy's and she was SO excited!)
- Lunch or breakfast with 5 great friends at separate times (wish I would have had time for more!) - this means I now need to do a lot of exercising!!!
- Several relaxing days with my mom here at our house
- A great SKM annual meeting in Emporia
- Friends to our house for dinner
- Shopping several times
- An entire day of scrapbooking and watching 2 movies all by myself
- A haircut
- Several little things accomplished on my to-do list
- Cropping photos from the last 6 months - not completely done but at least started
- A day with Chase and driving to Hutch to have lunch with Chad and see his new office
- Dinner with Chad's parents at our home
- Dinner out with my dad and a BC basketball game (TONIGHT!)
It seems like there is a lot on this list, but as always, there is more I'd like to do. Thank you to everyone who I was able to spend time with. It's been so nice to do some things at a more leisurely pace. But now....it's time to kick it in high gear and start working again!
Here's a picture of Chad in his new office....it's going well so far and he actually enjoys the drive! I met some people yesterday and they are all very nice. YEAH!

Bargain Shopping
I LOVE a bargain when I see it!! This is kind of a bittersweet thing for my husband as he continues to explain to me that whatever percentage off that I get on the product, I still have to spend the other percentage out of my pocket! BUT....when my sis-in-law Kim and I stopped by Target last weekend....I knew I needed to stock up on some items for future birthday parties or gifts for my kids.

Weekend in KC
Emily, Chase and I spent the weekend in KC with Brian and his family. We hadn't been to their home for a relaxing weekend for quite some time so we were overdue. Boy did we have a good time. Aubrey had a Fancy Nancy birthday party on Saturday morning with her preschool friends. What fun it was to watch these little ones party! The kids colored activity sheets, dressed up in some fancy party wear, played a game, ate fancy parfaits with brownies and watched Aubrey open her gifts. What fun that we were able to participate!
On Sunday we went to the famous Fritz's restaurant at Crown Center where a small train brings the food to the table. What fun the kids had at this place!
Our engineers are ready to go!! Choo Choo......
The rest of our weekend was spent shopping, watching movies (88 Minutes and Mamma Mia), scrapbooking, playing, eating and relaxing. Abby and I try to take a photo of ourselves together.
Aubrey was super excited when I put on my pajama pants because she had some exactly like mine! Yes, she did because when I made mine, I had made some for Emily. They are now too small for Emily and have been passed on to Aubrey. This warmed my heart that she wanted to be just like me because I'm sure there won't be too many more years that she wants to be like her old aunt!
