Reese's PB cookies


These cookies are the best. If you like Reese's, which I'm sure most of you do. Then grab a bag of the PB chips and check out the recipe on the back. They are soft, gooey, and oh so yummy!

Some Bunny loves us!

A big thanks to Aunt Natalie, Grandma MaryAnn, Grandma Shauna, and of course the Easter bunny for making this an enjoyable holiday for the kids. Grandma MaryAnn sent us a box filled with fun candies, a singing bunny, and all of our Easter egg dyeing supplies. Natalie sent the kids candy and some cute Easter socks. Grandma Shauna sent their adorable Easter dresses (picture coming soon) and some new spring clothes. We love packages. Thanks to all of you!

Easter Egg Dyeing


Here's the end result of our family Easter egg dying night. Those of you who know my children know why Cara is topless. Two words~accident prone. Dave's Memphis Tiger egg won the dying competition. Yep, he's now a Memphis fan.

My 2 favorite BUYS this week~



My two favorite buys this week. First is the "Smart Ones" chocolate chip cookie dough sundae. These are lifesavers. I'm trying to bring my sugar intake down and these are really good and hit the spot. If you watch your calories or do the point system these are only 3 points and worth it. Of course our second favorite buy this week was the movie "Enchanted". I think my girl's have watched it at least 5 times already. I would say it was worth the $15 dollars. It's great entertainment, has very catchy music, and is family friendly too!

PANTIES....

So panties have been used more than one way at our house this week. It has begun-the potty training of Ryeligh. I would have to say she's done pretty well so far. Only 2 accidents in 2 days. I think that's actually really good. My favorite part of potty training is seeing their little bums in panties for the first time. I love it!! How about that outfit though.
As far as the picture on the left goes~I put Cara's hair in pink spongy curler's for her Easter pictures this morning. Growing up my Mom would put our panties over our curlers to help keep them in place overnight, kind of a homemade hairnet. Cara loved it. She just couldn't get over the fact that she had her panties on her head. Mom, does this bring back memories or what?????
I love Bermuda shorts and have found my favorites for the right price at my local
WAL-MART. These fit right, come in lots of colors, are the right length, and only cost me $9.93 I love that Bermuda's are still in style this season. I was worried that the style wouldn't last long and like most of you, we need the length and that's why these are a good buy. Let's hope this style lasts a long time.

Happy early birhtday to me!

Disney World 2003. We were expecting CaraAnn. I had such bad morning sickness and I can remember just wanting to sit on Main street and sleep. This picture is awful. I can't even believe I'm sharing it. Gotta love those long Polo dresses. Good thing the style has changed.
Here we are in the Spring of 2004. We were expecting Ryleigh this time around. It will be fun to take this picture again with our little Ryleigh in it this time.
For my 30Th Birthday I decided I wanted to take the family and go to Disney World. I know most of you are thinking~the family, Disney? Why not just you and Dave and NYC or San Fran? Yes, that would be great but this is truly what I wanted. It's been about 3 years since our little family went on a vacation so we're ready. We're bummed that our Orlando buddies (Natalie and Matt) can't make it, but there's always next year.
The biggest reason I'm super excited for this trip is that for the first time in 3 Disney World vacations I'm NOT PREGNANT!!! Dave and I have been to Disney World 3 times since we've been married and I've been expecting each time. This time I actually get to ride the rides and enjoy myself without taking constant potty breaks. Our tickets are purchased and we leave April 11Th. We told the kids on Sunday and they're super excited. It's been a great bribing tool the past few days and I hope to use it to my advantage up until we leave.
