What would we do without friends?
The last few weeks have been CrAzY, Ruben had been away for 18 days, then getting ready for a garage sale, appointments, appointments and more appointments...
Through all this, I have appreciated my friends more than ever. Married ones Andrea, Ranetta, Paula and Sara, you helped me through it. But this post is more for 3 special unattached friends that could come over at a moments notice, volunteering to help, staying over to give me a brake, just being here, making my day and especially my childrens day. We love these three.
Thank-you Karolyn, Alison and Kimberly. This poem I found doesn't do justice, but it's a little something.

You Care About People
You care about people
and it shows.
You are generous with your time,
giving of your energy,
lavish with your unselfish deeds.
We will remember your kindness to us.
Thank you for brightening our world
with your thoughtfulness.
It really means a lot.

Professional Picture Time!
02.17.11 - Well, it was high time... we missed the boys school pictures and Madelynne hadn't had any professional taken since last January!
So after 2 hours and 244 pictures taken, it was really hard to settle for just a few! But this is what we got! I kind of like them :) For an absolutely crazy amount of photos, you can look on my Webshots. Those are posted for the Grandparents, but in case someone else wants a peak, no problem!

02.14.11 ~ HEART DAY!
Happy Birthday to me and Happy Valentine's Day!!
The day started with Chase accidentally flushing his coveted "the King" car down the toilet. The car goes everywhere with Chase, they have long discussions. After consoling him and promising to buy a new one later, the boys went to school, and the girls played!
Karolyn, Madelynne and I joined Sara, Simon and Max at the Steeping Room for lunch! I love their healthy food and especially the cupcakes! That was my wish for my birthday!! So I got my double chocolate and GF carrot cake cupcakes and took a few hours to slowly eat them! I was not disappointed!
After picking up the boys, off to Walmart we went, but no the King! There were 10 of every other Cars cars, but no King. What a pain! So we check Walgreens. Again, every car but the King. What's with that! So we still have no King and are soon to go try Target! He had a hard time going to bed without him last night!
Karolyn made a yummy supper for us at Daryl and Emily's. Makenna's birthday is on the 16th so we had a joint party! Lots of fun! Thank-you Karolyn and Emily!
It was a big day but a very good day! We still missed daddy tho! :)

02.12.11 and 02.13.11
We were sooooo lucky and happy to have Paula with her 2 boys Jesse and Nelson drive up from Houston for the night! (Her hubby was working too.) The boys loved playing with Jesse, he can be quite the clown and had a captive audience! Madelynne watched baby Nelson like a hawk! She giggled and jigged every time I would hold Nelson in her lap. She loved it!
And it was so good to catch up with Paula. Andrea came by on Sunday so it was us 3 good friends having a great chat again. Love it!
Thanks again Paula for coming up and making our weekend!
