Car Wreck

So feeling pretty grateful after yesterday. I was sitting on Highway 40 in construction traffic and heard tires squealing, the next thing I knew someone hit me. The poor little old man was 98 years old and said, "I been drivin' for 80 years and never had an accident 'til now."

I went to the ER and was checked out - nothing broken but a whole lot of soreness. I think my guardian angels were watching out for me yesterday.... so last night ... whether it was the pain pills and muscle relaxers or what, I do not know, but I had a sort of day dream that my grandpa and uncle Tommy were flapping their angel wings to keep the car from hitting me hard. :)

I'm very grateful that I didn't have Suzanna or Brookie with me.

More Easter Fun - The Pictures Say It All!

My Mom and Brooke playing on the indoor playground.






My Girl with her new wiffleball bat - yes...hitting herself in the head :) I'm really hoping she learns to use it!




I think she looks like a little old lady with a big but!



"Hey Look What I Found!"



The big kids getting ready for the Egg Hunt at my aunt's house.



Suzanna - busy hunting. I tried to get a picture of her face while she was hunting so I threatened her with a picture of her backside - I always keep my promises!



And afterwards - completely worn out but you can see by that sweet smile that she had a great time!

That's all for now - as you can see we had a fun Easter. Hope ya'll did too!

Easter Egg Hunt and Other News

On Saturday we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt that our department holds - we fill 20,000 eggs with candy and prizes. The weather was pretty yucky, only in the 30's and rainy but we still had a good turnout! Brooke's mom and Grandma brought her to the hunt. Here's a couple of pictures - she did okay but once she picked up an egg she didn't want to pick up any others. She just wanted the one she had! :) I love that baby girl! She had fun but I think she got cold. Not really dressed for the cold weather!

Suzanna didn't get to go to the egg hunt because she is spending Spring Break with her grandparents in Oklahoma. I think I saw Mike sticking some eggs in his pockets for her - he swears they were broken ones but... I dunno. Do his coat pockets look full to you?? He's a park volunteer and I'm pretty sure it's against the rules!

We still have a busy week of Easter stuff - tried to finish up basket shopping for the girls last night but that didn't go so smooth - Mike's way too picky! I'm going by myself tonight! Friday my mom is coming to my house and we will have Brookie all day Friday and Saturday - I think we'll probably spoil her a little and then do some shopping and then spoil her a little more and ...well probably just spoil her the whole time! Saturday afternoon we have the Easter Fair at church so Brookie will get to do another Egg Hunt there. Suzanna's plane arrives early Sunday morning and after Church -she and Mike and I will be headed to Alton to celebrate the holiday with my family. I'll post more pics of all that stuff in the next few days.

In the mean time...here's some recent pictures of my ball player. Suzanna participated in the park Softball Pitching Clinic. She's very eager to learn and with alot of practice I think we can get her some playing time! She's never played before so we're learning the basics!

That's all for now! I have to go pick up Brookie from the babysitter - she and I have a little shopping to do!
