~HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA~

Today is my little sister Angela's Birthday. I don't know if she wants me to say how old she is so I won't but she is only 13 months younger than me. That makes us almost the same age...like twins (almost). LOL Growing up with someone so close in age was hard when we were little but as we got into high school our friendship grew into an amazing bond. We have been through thick and thin together and have come out with a friend ship that will last a life time. She is my best friend and the funnest person I know. Life is a blast when we are together!! We never get tired of each other or run out of things to say. The last trip we were together we drove from Georgia to North Carolina and by the time we were almost there Alana piped up from the back and said "Mommy stop talking. Be quite". We had a good laugh at that too. The memories we have built over the years will last a life time!!

I hope you have a great Birthday and know that I gave you the best present EVER. I told you it would be, and I wasn't kidding!! You mean the world to me. You are my best friend and my sister and that is a great combination!! LOVE YOU ALL THE DAYS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

~CHRISTINA & ANGELA~

I am in Georgia with Angela and having the time of my life! I am here for 10 days and you better believe we will enjoy every minuite!!
Tom is at home with the kids having spring break and being Super Dad. Really...the kids aren't going to want me to come home. It's a party everyday with daddy and they are having way to much fun. Angela and I decided we were due for new professional pictures together, it's been a long time. So off we went and here is what we got. We threw Alana (Angela's daughter who will be 3 this weekend) into the picture at the end. So goodbye for now from the very nice and warm state of Georgia!!

~HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY~

Not much to say, just wanted to share the pictures of Hunter and Macazlyn all ready for school on St. Patrick's Day. I like the picture of the back of Hunter's shirt. "Do not pinch" ha, yeah right. That is a funny picture!! Yes, my kids like to pose and have their picture taken. They are MY kids after all. LOL Brinlyn and Drake got to get their green on too and Brinlyn insisted on pictures too. Like I would say no to pictures :)

~MOTHER CHILD BASKETBALL~

Tonight we has a basketball found raiser for the kids school. I played 3 games with Macazlyn and we took 1st place in the first grade group. Hunter and I played in the 3rd/4th grade division. We didn't win it but we played 2 games and had a great time. Here are some pictures of the night. Let me remind you (mom) if you click on the picture it will be bigger:)

~OUR NEW BABIES~

No no no not real babies...baby chicks! We got 13 new egg laying chicks this week. They are so cute and tiny!! The kids were very excited and jumping and screaming. Drake didn't want to hold them though. He squealed and pulled away for that. Brinlyn started naming them right away. We have fluffy, fruffy, and stripey so far. I can't remember any other names right now. Drake came up to me and looked at me with such huge innocent eyes and said "Mommy, fruffy is my little buddy!" It was SOOOOO cute!! Just melted my heart. Right now as I blog this Macazlyn hasn't seen yet. I am sure she will have to be quite the little mother hen (chick) when she finds out. If you click on this pic it will make it bigger:)

~THE TEA HOUSE~

My friend Janie took me out to lunch for my birthday and we went to the new Tea House in Elizabeth. Drake got to got with us and he was so good. We had his monster trucks with us and he got them all out and put them on the floor and was so quiet and good. He did get to have his won little teapot with lemonade in it and his own cup and that was pretty great. It was a great birthday lunch and I had a great time. Thanks Janie!!!

~BASKETBALL PICTURES OF THE KIDS~

Here as some basketball pictures of the kids. We had a great season for both of these teams this year. We played in the championship this past weekend and both the Hunter and Macazlyn's teams took 2nd place and we are so proud of them. They had a great season and we look forward to next year!!!

~MY BIRTDAY AND PINEAPPLE RIGHTSIDE UP CAKE~

I had a great birthday this year!! I decided to go to Grand Junction. It was a tough decision because Tom always treats me like a princess on my birthday so I was sad to be away but my cousins birthday is March 1st so I thought it would be fun to celebrate it together. We went and had pedicures together and then went to dinner at Carrino's. Aubrey, my sister-in-law and Kiessa, Tierreny's daughter came with us. It was fun to have a girls night out!! When I got home Tom and the kids took me to dinner and Vanessa and Ben came. Ben of course had to tell them it was my birthday and against great protest from me they sang to me. I was so embarrassed and so red!! Tom asked me what kind of cake I wanted so I requested Pineapple Upside down cake. He called Angela and got the recipe and got right down to the business of making his first from scratch cake. After dinner we went back to Vanessa and Ben's and Brinlyn went and got the cake. As soon as we saw it Vanessa and I said at the same time "Uhhh you did it wrong". Tom was like "how do you know"? We said it's supposed to upside down on a cookie sheet. HE FORGOT TO FLIP IT!! I thought I was so cute. Angela didn't write to flip the cake at the bottom of the recipe. She just assumed that he would know to. So that is the story of the Pineapple Right Side Up Cake for my birthday.
