Happy Easter Sunday.

This is by far my favorite photo of Zachary. It's a geniune smile. Right before his dad took the photo he grabbed the egg. I think he was so tickled that he got it. I just love it. This morning we dyed our eggs. I always save it for Easter day so we have something special to do. The boys all enjoyed their baskets at six this morning too. Jason was quote "in Heaven" and it was "the best day of his life." There are more photos up on flickr of the egg dyeing process and the baskets.

Today we are all just hanging out. The boys are already napping after playing outside. Jacques found a lizard and Ryan loved it. (Photos Later.) I made my first batch of deviled eggs, which were spectacular! It was my Aunt Pam's recipe. Which I will definitely archive and use again. Jacques is out doing yard work and up on the roof. We have no plans for this afternoon, but I am sure it will involve ice cream and a ride in the Hummer.

Earlier I was talking to Jason about the meaning of Easter and how Jesus was resurrected and came back to life.. and he says, "To be the Easter Bunny?"

We are having pork chops, corn, tatos and french bread for supper. Then everyone will need baths and I hope they all are up for hitting the hay early. Happy Easter All!

Smile Cheesy, It's Friday!

Friday. An amazing day. It started with me getting to sleep in till 7:41 and Jacques homemade pancakes.

Jacques signed out on leave today so we rode with him. Then we went through a car wash with rainbow colored soap! It was the best. Photos on flickr.

Then it was off to Barnes and Noble for a new classic and a dragon book for Jason. Jacques offered to buy me a latte.. awesome!

As we were walking through Belk to get to the play place in the mall, I spotted a cute necklace. On the way back through, I bought it. It's a beautiful palm tree necklace. I have wanted one since I first saw Fool's Gold in 2008. It'll be a lovely reminder of our time here in sunny S.C. It's over half of a karat of bling. Click to see my photo on flickr.

Next we went to a Volvo dealership to drive the lot. I played in a SUV there. It was cute, but I am not in the market to buy.

Once we got home, both babies went straight down for naps.. so did Jacques. So I took off and got a highlight and trim.

When I got back, both babies were still sleeping. When they got up, we went to the Roadhouse for an early supper and to get the $7.99 menu.

I also ordered a cut mini album for summer from Elise. I put two together last year. One for Jordyn and one for me. That's my plan this year too.

Tonight Jacques is off alone to see Clash of the Titans. I will be home with the kids. Resting and Glowing.

I have an amazing Life, husband and batch of kids.

Wednesday Morning.

This is me this morning. Trying to finish Eclipse for the 2nd time. I am 70%+ into it. I am ready for the movie. I will re read Breaking Dawn too, but not next. I have a library book, Dog's, and then a classic.

Last night Jason had soccer and the boy's brought home Subway. Then they all had baths and were off to bed so Daddy and I could watch some Idol. I went to bed at 10 and fell asleep with the my ipod on and in my ears.

Tonight I am going to see The Last Song wich hit theaters today. I read the book a few weeks ago, Thanks to Aimee : ) Loved it and am excited about the movie. It's showing at 9:50. I always go to the late showings so all the boys are in bed before I leave. Tonight I will have popcorn and a root beer.

I talked to the pediatrician and she is putting in a referral for a speech evaluation for Ryan. I don't think he's behind, just quite. We will see if he's right where he needs to be or if he needs a little help.

We have a house lined up in Minnesota. It's ours 99%. We are just waiting till we do a walk through to make sure it is what we want. Other than that, it's ours.

I also found what school Jason will attend, and he is even able to be bused. Even though we are only 2.58 miles from the school. That's a talk his daddy and I will have to have. I am not sure I want to hand over my child to a bus driver. And I have seen, first hand, the bullying that goes on in buses: Spiderman.

We are all set for Seaworld too. Our reservations are made at the hotel and we have our tickets. We will leave Tuesday morning. We are also going to the Kennedy Space Center. The hubby really wanted to see it too.

I am cursing Hershey's for making the mini Whopper Easter eggs that I can eat by the handful.

Jason is such a goof. He told his dad last night that he wants a cell phone at 10 to call Will, me and his dad. But when he's a little older "like 10 and a half" he's going to call all his friends too. This weekend I asked Jason to eat a strawberry. He said he would for $50 bucks. I said okay. Two teeny-weeny bites later, he decided he really didn't need the money.

I posted a bunch of photos to flickr yesterday.

If it's broke, fix it.

We are home from and Zach has his cast on. He goes back on April 8th for a check up, but the doctor wasn't sure when it would come off. It is heavy, and hard. Poor little guy. He did fine getting it wrapped. And it doesn't seem to bother him at all. More photos up on flickr.

Tuesday.

The official Eclipse poster was released today. Click here to see it. There are only 98 days till it hits theaters, not that I am counting or anything.

I watched New Moon this morning, finally. It left me wanting more so I am re-reading Eclipse.

Jason would like the Easter Bunny to bring him a basketball and a Wii game. That sounds pretty reasonable. Last night he finished Magic Tree House book number 5 and has started book 6.

Not only did my lens arrive yesterday so did my purse. Today I am busy organizing it all.

We had McD's for an after school snack.

Tonight Jason has soccer practice.

Zachary goes back tomorrow morning to have his arm casted.

We have added The Kennedy Space Center to our Spring Break in Orlando. Daddy really wanted to go there. We have reservations at a hotel near everything and we plan on eating at Hard Rock and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.

I have a package that needs to get to the post office. Ugh.

We need a box of Pampers $20 and 2 gallons of milk $6. I think we need dog food too.

All on a Monday morning.

I was up last night with Zach from 2:20-4:35.

We took him to his pediatrician, who referred him to an orthopedic specialist. We see him at 1:30 but were told to "be prepared to wait" because they were squeezing us in. I am thinking, "Hello, the kid has a broken arm. Try not to do us any favors!" So I will be stuck their with all three kids and Jacques for hours.

The fun news is that we got a disc of the X rays so I hope I can post them later.

My lens arrived.

It looks like more rain.

Ryan will not nap. Nor with Zach, but I am less worried about getting him one because he will conk out in the van.

I talked to Lewis and Grandma.
