The Last Couple of Weekends...

We have had such a great time the past couple of weekends...


The weekend before last, Brian, Jaiden, Anthony and I went to Gladewater to celebrate my neice's second birthday. It was so great because we haven't all seen each other since Christmas! After Ella's party we all snuck over to Steve and Judy's (Cassie's parents) where we all hid in the garage and had a surprise 30th birthday party for my OLDER brother Doug! ; ) After the party cleared out, we all (Me, Brian, Jaiden, Anthony, Doug, Cassie, Ella, Ryan, Lindsay, Kai, Steve and Judy) sat in the living room and played with the toys from Ella's toy box. It was a great night. And, just when I thought that it couldn't get any better as we were leaving Lindsay and Ryan told me that I was going to be an aunt AGAIN!! Two of my sister-in-laws are having babies....How awesome is that!


On Wednesday, Anthony got his first haircut by his Aunt Jay! He was so good. Didn't cry for a second! Later on that evening, Jaiden went to her first gym/dance class and had a blast! It's held down at our rec center about half a mile away from the house and that place is awesome! It has everything! I am planning on starting a class on the first of April. I'm actually hoping that with the start date being what it is (4/1), I will just walk into the class and the instructor will say, "April Fools". Probably won't happen though.


So, on Friday, after Jaiden got out of school we headed down to my moms house. Luckily, Anthony was wonderful the entire trip! It took us about an hour longer with all of the bathroom stops, but the trip was nice. Jaiden and Anthony were both worn out from the trip so, when we got there they both fell asleep and Mom, Sean and I sat around and talked for a while. It was really nice to catch up or just talk to Sean. I noticed while I was sitting there that I hardly recognized anything about him. It was wierd. Sad and wierd, but I'm glad that we got the chance to talk. On Saturday, Jaiden, Sean, George and his daughter Melissa went to the Houston Rodeo and then saw Brad Paisley afterwards. Jaiden had a Blast!! She called during the concert saying "Can you hear this?" It was very cute! Me, Anthony and Mom went grocery shopping and then hung out around the house all day. We talked and laughed and played with the baby. It was really great. On Sunday, Mom did an Easter egg hunt for Jaiden and Jaiden ran around the front yard hunting them. It took a little longer than we had planned, but she finally found them all. : 0


After the hunt was over, we had a big lunch that mom and george had prepared. It was yummy. Then we had to pack up and get ready for out long trip home!

It was a great couple of weekends and I am so thankful for all of my wonderful family! I love them all and hate that we only see each other on special occassions and such, but with the way my family is procreating, we are bound to have a new birthday in just about every month of the year, so maybe I'll be seeing them more often in the coming years!

I'll post a slideshow of all of our most recent events later...it's kinda difficult getting pictures in here!

I hope that everyone has a fabulous Easter! God Bless!
