4/30 - We had a friend birthday party for my birthday and one of the other moms. 40th is a big deal :) We had several friends come with us to Rustic for dinner and drinks. It was a lot of fun! After fun dinner we went to the Loon for a drink. Greg and the Steiners bought everyone a kamikaze which was fun. We had a good time and enjoyed spending some time out with just adults and friends.
4/24 - After Greg let me out of bed (if I got up he had to mow the yard), I went to get Kasey. She had cooked eggs on her own and was very proud of it. She had a good time and was watching some Barbi.
We went home to take Patch and went shopping before picking up the boys. We had to leave clothes there because we had to get boys. After fun night. Landon went to friends house for an hour. Kasey and I went back shopping for some new dresses/skirts. She's fun to shop with.
We picked up Landon on the way home. Then they got ready for soccer practice
After soccer boys took showers and we went to another birthday dinner with Greg's family. After dinner we had yummy german chocolate cake pie.
Needless to say kids were tired.
4/23 - Landon played soccer game. he played defense and boys played hard, but they lost to the Heat. The Yankees played at the same time and won in the last inning. We hung out most of the day. That afternoon we took Kasey to Grammy's to spend the night.
Landon went with a few friends for a birthday overnight at lakehouse. A few boys went and they got to have a big nerf gun war, ride in and drive a boat, drive 4 wheelers, sleep in a tent and eat good food. They had a really good time.
Greg and I went out with our traveling friends for our April celebrations. 3 birthdays and anniversary. We went to Del Friscos which is always a favorite. We finished the night with the piano man from there who is awesome. Good times.
4/22 - Tonight we had cub scout crossover. Fun night. The kids got to play a few games. We had BBQ from Rudys, trail mix station, and samoas with a chocolate fountain. Of course the boys got to cross over the bridge to go from Webelos I to Webelos II. There was also cake contest and we got to see a fun slideshow of activities the boys have been doing. So fun and such great group of boys and families.
4/17 - We had flag football playoff game. the boys played hard but didn't win. Landon caught a few catches and played offense and defense.
That night kids and I ordered pizza and hung out at home while Greg went to FC Dallas game.
4/16 - We had a busy SAturday as usual. Bengals had a rough game in the morning. they didn't win but played hard. We went to early lunch and Schlotzsky and then went to Landon's baseball game. Yankees won. Landon had 2 hits (left field triple, line drive to first baseline). Playing catcher he got some outs including out guy steeling home. He also pitched the last inning which is stressful for me.
That afternoon we went to STEM activities at the Roughriders baseball game in Frisco. All 4 of us went, but it was for a girl scout night. We got there when it opened. They had stations that talked about how throwing, hitting, dancing and consturction all have something to do with STEM. Kids got to through a ball, hit on a T, learn the cotton eye joe. We heard one of the ladies at Roughriders who has her gold pin talk about how girl scouts is cool and she used her Gold project to be her platform in pageants.
We also got to see our friend Durkin who apparently is at Roughriders games all the time for several years.
3 girls from our troop were there. I took the girls on the field for the National Anthem which was fun. We were right there close to the players. Then we stayed for first 5 innings of the game - we had hot dogs, brats, chips, beer and funnel cake. Fun night.
Then we got home. Landon got sick in his room after midnight and then Kasey was downstairs an hour later getting sick. That wasn't fun, but they were fine after that.
4/14 - We had Watch Dog award ceremony. Greg was selected from all the dads at Norton as one of two to be awarded. They gave him a certificate and played audio of some kids commenting why he was a good watchdog. They talked about him playing sports with them and being nice. It was really nice. We got pictures with our principal and the Allen superintendent. It was a nice evening and we were all very proud of Greg
4/10 - We had a busy afternoon. We had soccer practice and Daisy Meeting in the afternoon. Then Landon had a football game. The boys played well and won. Landon caught 3 balls, got 1 or 2 flags. They are having a good time. This was our last regular season game, but there is playoff.
4/9 - I really wanted to sleep in but of course the kids woke me up around 7:30. Kasey wanted to watch Dancing with the Stars so I couldn't turn that down. Eventually we got up to get ready. We went to lunch with Grammy and Gramps to celebrate. We tried Wild Salsa which was really good. Grammy and I enjoyed some Sangria. After yummy lunch we headed back to the house. Grammy had made hershey bar pie (regular in a bucket) for the kids and a special one with peanut butter and reese's peanut butter cups on top for me. Yummy.
After that Greg and Landon went to a cub scout thing and Grammy/Kasey and I went to the salon to get pampered. We enjoyed the massage chairs and getting our nails taken care of. Good times.
Fun birthday week :)
After we got back we had a quick dinner and kids went to friends houses. Greg got me some dinner and then I went to where the kids were. We enjoyed some wine and hanging out. Fun Saturday night
4/8 - Kasey got Knight of the week and was so excited to bring the monkeys home again. We had to glue eyes on the little one - someone else's dog had chewed them off :)
We took the daisy troop to recycling center in McKinney. The cub scouts had gone before and said it was pretty cool. We were a little underwelmed but it was good for the girls to see.
After that we went to dinner the 4 of us. We got the kids to bed and I met a few moms at Village Burger Bar for a few drinks. Its always fun to get out and hang out with other moms :)
4/7 - We had a fun mother daughter lunch with my birthday friend. Linda and I have known each other since 4th grade and have the same birthday. We also celebrated our 16th birthdays together and have gone to eat for several other birthdays. We had a fun lunch at Chocolate Angel with mom, Linda, her mom, Fredel and I. Good times catching up and of course yummy food.
4/5 - My 40th Birthday. Crazy that I'm getting that old. Greg made biscuits and eggs for all of us. We actually ate breakfast together at the table - doesn't happen much. Kasey had made me a huge card and Landon made a fun one as well I did have to work but I got several nice texts from friend and facebook love of course. My team figured out it was by birthday and went out and got cupcakes from nothing bundt cakes. We even had a virtual call with Boston. Awesome team.
When I got home Greg and the kids had gotten me two huge balloons and my favorite flowers
Landon had flag football game. They were playing a team that was 0 and 6. but they were losing most of the game. Near the end the other team turned over the ball near our endzone. We ended up scoring to tie the game and it went into overtime. We ended up scoring and boys won. Landon caught 2 passes and played some offense and defense.
Mom had brought me some yummy cookies from Cafe Max and a sweet card.
After we got the kids to bed, Greg and I opened a 2004 Spring Mountain Ellivette wine - Very good. It was a good birthday :)
4/4 - We went to Mi Cocina for birthday dinner since we'd be out late at football on my birthday. We had a yummy dinner and got to sit outside because it was so nice.
Fredel brought over a yummy cookie cake for my 40th birthday
4/2 - They woke us up just before 7. We got dressed, packed up and ready for breakfast. Landon had a 10am baseball game so a few of us had to leave early at 8. We still had fun.
We got home about 8:50am, cleaned up, and dressed. Then we headed to baseball. The team lost, but Landon had a pretty good game - 2 outs playing catcher at 3rd, 1 assist flipping home to pitcher, hit, 2 rbi, played good catcher.
After the game we went to Elke's for lunch with Grammy and Gramps. The special was a sausage with mac n cheese with a few extras. The kids got the sausage with mac and cheese. Greg, Gramps and I all got the full special. Yum.
Then we went home. Landon took a long bath to relax. I took a shower and sort of a nap.
Kasey came down asking if she could give me an early birthday present. She made a huge birthday card. She had drawn a bear, chip and dale who she knows I like, and she drew our family as a lion family (I love lions). On top it said Happy Birthday Mommy. The bottom had labels for the picture saying the pictures were taken in Texas and that she loved me. So sweet.
Then it was time for Landon's soccer and football. Bengals won soccer 2 to 1. They played hard today. The games overlapped a bit so we got to football with about 9 minutes left. Unfortunately boys lost quite a bit.
After that we took pops back to our house to get his car. Then kids and I went to get food to take home. We chilled out and then got the kids to bed.
4/1 - I had to leave work early because it was night at the zoo for cub scouts. This was the 3rd year for Landon and I to go and we were looking forward to it. We've stayed at different places each time. First we camped in tents by birds and big cats, then we stayed inside in African area, and this time we stayed in Tent area. They have 6 tents that hold 10 people each on bunk cots. They put us there because we could all fit there. Only down side was that it was going to get down to 43 degrees that night. We enjoyed walking around the zoo learning new things about animals. The Cougars and a few of the bigger cats were active. We also got to see a few of the snakes moving around including a cobra.
We enjoyed getting to meet a few smaller animals, having snack. Then we went to the tents - they had lights. We got our sleeping bags ready and then had smores before bed. By the time everyone got ready for bed and we turned the lights out it was after 11:30. Not long after that Williams' cot fell on top of his dad. Hurt his foot some, but everyone was ok. We got it fixed and turned the lights out again. Finally Landon settled down and people went to sleep.
Not sure any of us slept very well and it got cold especially late.
