UPDATE: SPRING BREAK & EASTER

Spring Break was a lot of fun! Me & the kids went with a friend and her family to Daytona. The kids did great on the way down and on the way back. They travel very well, especially since two of the them had to sit in car seats the entire time. Asher was constantly asking when we would get to the beach. He started in Indianapolis and didn't stop until we made it to Florida! When we got there we took him to the beach as soon as possible. Right after that we had to go to Wal-Mart and get some food, so we told the kids we'd have to go. Asher started crying and said, "But it took us too long to get here, I don't want to drive all the way back to go to Wal-Mart!" We started laughing and explained to him that there was a Wal-Mart there in Daytona. Poor kid thought that the only Wal-Mart was back here in Fort Wayne.
Every morning from our balcony we were able to the dolphins swimming, Saige really enjoyed that! He also had tons of fun body surfing. Wil had fun, but not being the water kid, he had more fun with the activities that the condo provided. Everyday they had something going on; bingo, pizza, ice cream social, pool party. He really enjoyed that. Asher tried to body surf and boogie board, it was so fun watching him try to conquer the waves. All the boys played in the sand and collected shells. I had a lot of fun just hanging out with my friend, Janice. She is so awesome! Her daughter, Bethany, and her friend, Bree, watched the kids one night so we could go out and have some 'alone' time. We dressed up and went to dinner, I really enjoyed that.
We all did miss daddy though. We talked to him everyday! He said that the first few days weren't bad but by the end of the week he was totally missing us. He said that he hated coming home to an empty house. When we got home the house was spotless, candles lit and there were homemade cookies on the table for the kids with some chocolates and a beautiful yellow Easter Lily for me. Bryan is so awesome. The kids bought him an alligator head. Doesn't seem quite as elegant but he liked it very much, it is kind of cool. I'll post some pics on Wigge pics.
Easter turned out great! The play went on without any problems and everybody did an excellent job. Everybody loved it! The message that I wanted to get out - came out! We went to my mom and dad's for Easter dinner. Bryan's mom joined us! There was food, Easter egg hunt, food, candy, food, candy......I'm sure that everybody was like that! The only thing that could of been better was the weather. It seemed more like Christmas than Easter. Today is a beautiful day though, I'm going to go out to enjoy it. Have a great week.

Thanksgiving...

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! On the actual 'turkey' day we went to my mom and dad's. All of my family and Bryan's family (except his sister-she had to work) was there. Bryan's brother Scott and his wife Tara and their little son Eli came up from Georgia for the holiday. We stuffed ourselves with all sorts of yummy food. Then on Friday we had another dinner at Annette's, Bryan's mom. More yummy food and alot more family. Saturday we had Bryan's dad and his wife over and ate some more. I just recently recieved my 'ribbon' from weight watcher's stating that I lost my first ten pounds . . . well . . . I found it this weekend. I feel so bloated and huge. Oh . . . but how I enjoyed the food. The company too! It was a really great Thanksgiving. There are so many things to be thankful about. I'm just glad that the whole family was able to get together. At Bryan's mom's we had an early Christmas for the kids. Scott and Tara won't be here so they brought gifts for our kids and Annette, Kim, and our famiy gave our gifts to Eli. We renamed Thanksgiving to 'Eli's Christmas'. That boy is so spoiled. Everyone went hog wild buying him gifts. He should have enough clothes and toys until we see him again, or at least until we ship them his 1st birthday gifts in May. I'm going to download some photos on my bebo site later this week. Eli is such a doll, I'll also have some new pictures of Haley. You'll have to check them out! I hope everyone else's holiday was as enjoyable as ours.
