Botox Believer!

I never thought I'd be one of those people who got injected with botulism...but I am a Botox believer! Sarah has been offering her Botox services and I decided to take her up on it.  I am LOVING my new non-wrinkled forehead.

I really didn't think I needed it, but looking at my "before" pictures I was APPALLED and DISGUSTED! 

Before

A 33 year old's forehead really shouldn't look like this.

The 11 in between my eyebrows...ick!

After I was injected

Smooth as a baby's butt! Yesssssssssssss!

I'm lifting my eyebrows in both pictures.  Amazing!

Neil is 34!

Happy birthday to the guy who didn't want anything for his birthday.  I had to sneak this cake in so he wouldn't see.  

Neil wanted nothing for this birthday.  Family kept saying "what are we doing for Neil's birthday?"  "We want to come over for Neil's birthday!"  I think this was all his plan. ha!

This is the only picture I have and Andre' took it!

We ended up going to Trace for brunch with family and his gift was that we didn't take a group picture.  Happy 34th, Neil.  You are the best husband and father a girl could ask for!

Lunch with Friends!

Robbie and Angelina came to town so we had lunch at Marilynn's.  How fun!!  They came over for a little while after and hung out.  What fun!  All these Ruston fellas...

Bunny Breakfast

It was so nice of Chad to give us tickets to Breakfast with Bunnies.  I was so proud because we made it there by 8:30 with everyone dressed in their best and just in time for breakfast....the only thing missing was Bennett's shoes!  Yes, we still went in without shoes.  We just didn't have time to go home.  It build character!

There were even some princesses there!  I don't know the pink one's name, but I am pretty sure the purple one is Sofia.  Sister girl loved them!

Easter Bunny with shoeless Bennett, SK, and Henry

Bennett, Captain America, and Henry

Yay!  We are all 5 in a picture!

Happy 25 years!

Dad celebrated his 25 years of sobriety!  Raise your glass of any non-alcoholic beverage and say cheers to 25 years! Great job, Dad!

We celebrated with a delicious Peanut Butter Banana Cake with Chocolate Ganache.  It was so good I thought it needed capital letters.  We all met at Port au Prince for a fun 2 hours dinner with 5 kids.  Since it was taking so long, Dad left to get to his meeting before he ate.  Memories.

This week

Bennett has Dr. Seuss week at school.  They had something fun everyday.  

Monday was crazy hair day.

His hair is green and orange even though you really can't tell.

Tuesday was bow-tie and wacky sock day. (no picture)

Henry thought I needed a band-aid on my toe so he went and got one and doctored my foot!  Sweet thing.

Wednesday was Dr. Seuss hat day.

We had our 4th snow day on Thursday.

And Friday was green eggs and ham breakfast for kids and parents.

We sat with Bennett's favorite friend, Jack.

so glad I get to go to these things!

And Friday...whoa.  I normally don't work on Fridays, but with the snow day on Thursday, I felt like I needed to go in to get my Thursday stuff done.  Here's my schedule:

7:45: Green Eggs and ham breakfast

8:20: Henry's school to distribute Teacher Appreciation packets

9:00: Camp Gladiator

10:15 shower and get ready/clean up the house

11:30 pick up Easter shirt for Henry

11:45: pick up a quick lunch

12:00: pick up invitations for work

12:45: go to work

3:00: pick up Henry, Bennett, and SK

4:15: pick up a donation at Akin's for the FEMS auction

And then I got back out to my car and it was puttering.  hmmmmmm...I started backing out and it STOPPED!  I ran out of gas.  Neil was in Ruston and my dad was NO help...all he said was "why would you run out of gas...you have a gas gauge."  I called Carol who I thought might still be at school.  She was willing to come help and gave me the number to the gas station.  No answer!  The lovely man at Akin's went to the gas station to get their gas can.  They didn't have one.  He came back and checked around for a gas can and found one!  He then went back to the station and came back and funneled gas in my car!  How sweet!  I love the customer service at Akin's.  It is the best!

4:45: get gas

5:00: pick up my dad's 25th AA birthday cake (I'm bitter about this because he didn't help me)

5:15 play in the yard and then Henry pooped himself while I was feeding SK

5:16: put SK down for a nap/grab cleaning supplies:

5:18: clean up Henry and get him re-dressed

5:30 Get Bennett dressed/Neil gets home and we try to go leave

6:10: we finally make it out the door for our 6pm dinner

6:30: arrive at Port Au Prince for the longest dinner ever for Dad's AA birthday (I'm still bitter)

8:30 finally get home and all fall down!  Oh wait, had to feed Sister and get everyone ready for bed!

9:00 House of cards and sleep!

On the move

This little beauty queen is EVERYWHERE!  You can't take your eyes off her for a second or she is in another room or eating dirt off the floor.  She can find the tiniest speck and it goes directly in her mouth.

This day she crawled right to the pantry and started taking things off the shelves in the door.  This girl is growing up too quickly!

Also, I wish someone would have told me to not buy dresses for her at this age!  A dress really gets in the way of her crawling.  I'm convinced that bubbles are the only way to go.
