Busy, busy, busy!

Seems like just yesterday that I was blogging about those crazy 2 weeks, I don't know if the older you get the faster time flies or if the more kids you have the faster time flies??

Anyhow, the months of March and April have been non-stop. Finally purchased a membership to the zoo and have enjoyed using it. Don't know why I waited so long. Now when I need Mr. B and the little ones out, I have a place to send them.

My grandma on my moms side turned 80 and she threw herself a fabulous party in the big city of Miami, AZ. Hundreds of folks came out to celebrate, most of them my immediate family. The pictures show all my girls cousins and our children, and the other one is all my boy cousins. Last count I had over 40 first cousins. Much love to my grandma who had 12 children. Watching her surrounded by all of her children almost had me wishing for that large of a family, almost.

Then there was the exciting day when Ms. M declared that she was ready to take her training wheels off. It was so amazing to watch my little girl have so much determination to ride her bike all on her own. In the video, you can hear her say "I can do it this time!" Oh, she is so awesome. It took her a few days of trying and now she is all over the front and back yard.

After 8 years, Mr. B finally fulfilled his military obligation. We had a nice party where he was surrounded by family, friends and his Army buddies. The kids put camo on their face and the adults played pin the grenade on the tank. Now there are no more worries that he will be sent anywhere. When his retention SGT emailed him about reenlisting, I took it upon myself to respond and let him know that under no circumstances will Mr. B reenlist and that if he has a problem with that he could speak to me directly. Mr. B was not too happy that I did that. Something about being embarrassed that his wife was laying down the law. Whatever, mission accomplished...no reenlisting.

Easter was at our house again this year. I just love Easter. We had 3 egg hunts this year. One for the little ones, one for the tweens, and one for the adults (thanks for the idea T). Ms. D and I hid the eggs for the little ones while Tia T, T, and Ms. A played Easter Bunny for the tweens. The day was filled with food, games, eggs, Golden eggs, and the money egg! Now, I may be pregnant and moving slow, but guess who found the money egg??? ME!! 60 bucks was all mine. I can't wait until next year.
