Update and Easter

Since both kids are taking a nap right now (a rare occasion) and I haven't blogged in such a long time I decided it would be the perfect time, even though I am ITCHING to finish the book I am reading.  I have been so addicted to reading lately it is ridiculous, I am reading about a book a week and that has never in my life ever happened. I am reading The bright side of disaster, by Katherine Center.  An author who I recently discovered when I read the book Everyone is beautiful by her. That book was so good it is now one of my favorite books of all time, and I really love this new book too! It is so funny because I was just telling Chad how now that I have children, I feel like before I was missing out on so much in life.  All I cared about was going out and partying that I didn't realize that you can have fun in SOO many other ways, I picked up reading and have actually started trying to cook more when before I only made Mac and Cheese.  I do crafty things now, and I really can't wait to start painting again, I have added things on my bucket list such as learning the piano, taking a cooking class, and learning a new language. This would have never been goals in my past life!  Life with kids is good, I am never hung over, I feel smarter, and healthier because I do not drink even a 4rth of what I used to!  I am so glad that I am in this stage of life because I am really content with it and love it!

So easter was this past weekend and we did our usual dress in PEEP color shirts.  This year we all wore Ralph Lauren polo shirts (my husbands favorite) I actually liked wearing a polo, I haven't for years, and it was never Ralph Lauren. I used to wear Abercrombie ones when I worked there, and some Old Navy.  It is so funny because I got mine from Marshall's and little miss Aubrey's was from Von Maur so you can only guess how much more hers cost, but it was a gift from my Mom so it worked out in our favor :).  So funny! 

 Those are some of my favorite pics of us, also I took my love for PEEPS to a whole new level this year and made a sunflower cake out of peeps...YUM, let me tell you frosting is good on them!

isn't it just fabulous?

I feel like I gained 10 lbs just from this weekend with all the yummy food and candy I ate and my little Tyler is still recovering from all the sugar highs! LOL.

In other news, I am getting sugary (nothing too serious, even tho I would LOVE a nose job) on my face on Thursday, I have to get a cyst removed and I think its gonna suck to have done :( Its by my nose and its not too noticeable but since its on my face it is annoying me enough to get it taken care of. Since it IS on my face I have to go to the plastic surgeon for it because my Doctor would not touch it because of scarring reasons, I'm getting pretty nervous about it but I don't think it really will be too bad, I am still going to get a ride there JUST in case I feel a little woozy afterward! Wish me luck!

We also have some life changing ideas that we have been tossing around...MOVING! Our house just is not what we want anymore, we hate being on a different level then our kids, it makes me so paranoid for obvious reasons, someone breaking in, and a fire, and not being able to get to my kids fast enough just drives me crazy.  I think I would just sleep better knowing they were close to me, also we hate our kitchen, it is not big enough for 4 chairs at our table and we now have a 4 person family and family meals are really important to us that we eat at the table together instead of in front of the TV.  I feel like it really makes your family stay close growing up when you have daily group conversations!  Not to mention we have hardly any counter space and not enough cabinets! We need more storage...we have come up with a plan and I think we are going to do a few more things to this house this summer and put it on the market after.  Then once we have it sold is when we will look for our dream home!  I think this will be hard, but in the end it will work out better for our family, I would rather move before Tyler starts school so we don't have to switch schools.  Anyways its not 100 percent but we pretty much have our minds made up that that is what we want to do. 

Well I am going to get back to my book until the little ones wake up, I hope everyone had a great Easter!
