blogger sucks again, easter and my 40th day

[photo of a bunny cake ball and another one pooping coming soon!]

1. friday + saturday kaylee and i made bunny cake balls. of course she had to have some pooping.

2. we shared some with our neighbors.

3. sunday there was an easter egg hunt and the easter bunny left kaylee a note since she left him/her one.

4. and the kids got their easter baskets.  ham told me to tell the easter bunny just to fill his with beef jerky, nothing else.

5. tuesday was my 40th birthday.

6. i don't feel old. i feel like i'm in my 20's maybe even better.

7.  when i turned on the lights in the kitchen to make kaylee breakfast i found lots of flowers.

8. then got another surprise soon after. mike left me a note saying i had a hair and mani/pedi appointment at 10am.  sure beats what i had planned for the day- exercising and cleaning.

9. then got another surprise. the ups box that i thought was for ham was really for me. depends undergarments from my very funny friend, michelle, welcoming me to the old age club.


10. ended the great day with dinner at the cheesecake factory and a slice of reeses peanut butter cake cheesecake. kaylee and i shared it and ham had his own strawberry cheesecake.

9 mins

this is what happens when i decide not be photo stingy. it took blogger 9 minutes to upload 3 photos!!  these were taken 2 weekends ago.         

mike actually got ham to play basketball over at kaylee's school. [ham got beat in "skate" a few times]

on nanny's last day visiting us, kaylee told me it would okay for me to cut her hair so i did. i went too short but she still loves it.  i love seeing her in short pigtails and she's got plenty of time for long hair.                     

                                 it was pretty hot out but ollie didn't seem to mind. he loves being outdoors.

this morning i had a check-up at the eye doctor.  everythings looking good but still need to do my steroid drops for a week then onto some maintence till allergy seasons over.  afterwards i went to world market to get mike his kona beer. they didn't have any in stock but i still managed to spend 100 bucks!  i did buy 4 bottles of moscato wine that they use to serve at olive garden. its the best stuff ever!

                                           

ollie boogie boarding

teaching ollie to boogie board

1.  the kids wished i had gotten a bulldog so they could teach him tricks. [ham's been watching youtube videos]

2. i looked for a bulldog but all the ones i inquired about were all scams.

3. ollie does know how to sit and shake paws.

4. he got to play with his girlfriend last night. i was going to post photos but my camera battery is dead.

5. i was hoping that his girlfriend's mom would be able to watch him while we were in indiana but she's going to be gone during one of those weeks.

6. not much else is going on besides the usual.

7. did go and buy some baby clothes for one of ham's friends baby and some easter stuff to put in kaylee's basket.

8. also famous uncle eddie is coming to town thursday and friday.

9. i finally bit the bullet and ordered this book.  hope to take awesome photos of my cruise at the end of the month.

10. i also ordered this cute print from this cute shop from this cute girl.

weekend

six flags; san antonio; big swings

1. sorry there's no photo but either blogger or my wi-fi really sucks. [i think its the wi-fi]

2. after our run last friday, mike and i went shopping. got a new router so i could get better wi-fi and a speaker so we can listen to our ipad/ iphones while outside.

3. then got mike some running shoes. and shorts. and different colored v-neck t-shirts.

4. friday evening mike and i went on a date. dinner at pf changs and saw the hunger games. [the movie was okay but the books are much better]

5. saturday and sunday was spent getting our texas tans on.

6. my back got a little red and ham finally got to push me into the pool. so not cool.

7. yesterday i went to a store called natural paws and got ollie some in between bath spray.  the stuff from petco makes him smell grody.  like wet dog and baby powder. also got his girlfriend a cookie shaped like a donut.

8. his girlfriend gave him part of a raw hide made just for little dogs like them. he's been chewing on it ever since we got home.

9. i was just thinking that in 7 days i will be 40 and it doesn't bother me.

10. but i do wish what i know now, i knew back then.

itchy eyes, my wingman and fraud

at my friend's luau 2008

1. this is rare but i actually like this photo of me. 

2. back to the eye doctor today. yesterday my eyes were so red ham told me i look kinda creepy plus they itch like a son of a gun.

3. i also ended up walking/running 3 miles with mike. he's my wingman.

4. i think i'm going to bump it up to 4 miles even though i can't run 3 without some walking.  

5. i have set myself 3 goals- one by my birthday, one by the time i go on my cruise and for when we return to indiana.

6. i have some competition now that both of my sister in laws are working out.

7. i ended up returning a top but bought another one from j.jill. got to love that store- i  ended up buying a petite extra small![the sales lady said their clothes tend to run on the big side which i think all stores should do]

8. i had a message waiting for me when i got home.  i called back with intentions that they had the wrong number.

9. good thing i called back because someone used ham's name but my credit card number to buy $300 kate spade shoes!

10.  so glad for excellent customer service! [this is twice now that i've had to close an account since moving to texas]

oops!

riding the boomerang at 6 flags

1. i know one person notice but i accidentally had this blog on a block. [not that you were missing anything]

2. still deciding on what i want to do with it and finding a cheap blog designer ain't easy.

3. my parents came for a short visit in their rv. 

4. us girls went shopping while the boys, minus ham, went golfing. [it was way too early for ham]

5. now i'm on way out to exchange a few of the items i bought.

6. found that i like eddie bauer shorts.  still low waisted but long enough that i'm not wearing hoochie shorts.

7. i've also been walking/running 3 miles almost every day.  today is take a break day.  my shins are thanking me!

8. finally decided that we will be in indiana the first 2 weeks of july. we're going to drive since it will cost less vs. flight + car rental.

9. the kids started going into the pool on monday.  the waters a cool 76-78 degrees. 

10. we bought a few solar cover disks but need about 6 more to actually have it help heat up the pool. 

funny hat's [spring break part 2]

dick's last resort

1. once we got into san antonio we walked around, ate lunch and showed ham the alamo.

2. kaylee, mike and patty went back to the hotel so kaylee could swim.

3. while ham and i went to shopping for a swim suit. he ended up not wearing it once he saw all the little kids in the pool.

5. then we went for a boat tour so ham could see all of the river walk. [we were hoping to see the trees all lit up but they didn't do it]

6. the last time we visited san antonio i saw people wearing these funny hats with funny-crude things written on them so i suggested we go there to eat.

7. everyone was kinda tired, very hungry and one of those "ready to call it a night" moods.

8. our waiter called kaylee a booger eater then came back with her hat. we ALL had to laugh at that one! and she was a good sport about it.

9. ham's proud of his hat.

10. i'm glad we ate there, the food was yummy and we had a great time reading everyone's hats. [the waiter got the table behind us pretty good]
