Easter

What a crazy busy day! Chris and Maggie celebrated Easter with their father in the morning. We picked them up around 11:30 and headed off to my sisters. They kids had a blast playing with their cousins. It was fun catching up with everyone! It is amazing how BIG the kids are all getting! After lunch, our traditional picture.. and egg hunt - we headed out to Albion to see our other halves! Another egg hunt and more candy.. a great dinner and some Wii... we were EXHAUSTED! Time seems to be going so fast!

Here's what happened in March!

OK.. I am getting a little nervous!
I honestly feel like I just got done updating February and now I am filling you in on March and it is the second week in April! We are down to 2 months before the wedding and I am certain it is going to FLY BY!

Well here we go...

• Early this month we had dinner with Scott and Anne at Sticky lips.. looking back now that feels like MONTHS ago. It was a nice night, I don't talk to my brother nearly as much as I wish I could so I really enjoyed the evening. After dinner we went back to their house to see their new puppy! What a sweetie she is, I believe she is a mipin - miniature pincher! A definite mama's pup! She just loves Annie to bits. Scott was feeling a little left out.. we heard later in the month that they ended up adopting her brother.. Lenna and Lenny. Maybe Scott feels the score is even now!

• My birthday was March 7th. A very very busy day. I was full blown in the middle of a nasty chest cold.. but it didn't hold us back from going to the camper show in Syracuse with our "bff's" (LOLOL) Jason and Stacy. We had a blast laughing and dreaming about buying one of those ridiculous "campers" to share and live in.. considering we would have to sell both our houses to afford one! Kevin and I agreed "that's" not camping, we enjoy our camper way too much to trade in for a palace on wheels! We hit the outlet mall on our way home for some shopping. We had about an hour home before we headed out to the Stiemer's. They cooked an awesome birthday dinner and spent a little time at the Stiemer bar. We had a great night... always do with Joe and Steph! Last weekend they told us that they gave in and bought that jacuzzi they were talking about!! Very exciting! Looking forward to our next Stiemer excursion!

• Kevin's parent came over for an afternoon to celebrate my birthday. Kevin made an amazing corned beef dinner and Roger made me the most AMAZING strawberry cake.. YUM YUM YUM... I LOVED IT!

• We had Maggie's teacher conference. She is doing amazing in 4th grade. She is in a 7th grade reading level and is just soaring in school. The kids are looking forward to school getting out. Hard to believe it is only 2 months away!

• Miss Bella had her "baby maker" (as Maggie says) taken out.. she survived and came home HIGH AS A KITE.. cracked us up! She is now going on.. 8 months old! She is the easiest dog.

• Kevin and the guys started the kitchen / meeting hall renovations at the firehouse.. they seem to be there more than not these days and their hard work is showing! It is coming together nice. Kevin is so excited and proud to see the teamwork!

• On the 21st we had an overnight at the Seneca Niagara Casino with Jason and Stacy to celebrate both mine and Kevin's birthday. Oh my gosh we had a blast! Laughing the whole weekend. From chips-a-hoy to hide and seek to What's your like?.. it was the best weekend.

• We picked up Maggie's costumes for her dance recital.. and she had her pictures.. hard to believe how fast this year is going.

• The 28th was Kevin's birthday, we were busy at the Chili Fire Department Banquet. We spent last weekend in Warsaw Roger made Kevin's favorite carrot cake and we went out to breakfast Sunday morning to celebrate.. We certainly werent expecting 2 inches of snow!

• We bought our wedding bands, and our cake topper came in! It is so cute.. a fireman and a bride. I love it!

• We received our "paper work" from the pastor.... time to put together the ceremony details!

• We had a new furnace put in last weekend and we feel the difference already!

• We all passed back and forth a nice cold that pretty much lingered with us the whole month.. poor Christopher had strep.

• Kevin finally finished the deck on the front.. we just need to stain it.

Busy busy.. We will be celebrating Maggie's birthday in April, and hopefully we will get some nicer weather to start working on the house.. lots to do! And....... we are looking forward to CAMPING SEASON starting!
