updates......

hi all!
things have been very busy at our place over the past week or so. mothers day was wonderful! i woke up to 4 boys standing over me. everyone holding something special! my dear ryan, made me Eggs Benedict. for those of you who know me well, know that this is one of my very favorite things to eat! since they are time consuming and hard (if you ask me) to make, i never do! still, i LOVE THEM. he made the sauce, toasted the muffins and even poached the eggs! (miss Betty Crocker helped! :) ) one boy was holding fresh coffee, the other ones holding flowers and gifts! rye bought me WACOM. it's a graphic tablet...digital scrapbookers know what i'm talking about. thanks to beck for directing him where to go! :) the boys had all made special gifts at school...and the cards....oh how i love the cards! this was by far, the best mothers day EVER!
we are all staying very busy getting our place ready for mom and dad. tim was here all evening, working on pluming and electrical. dad is hoping to get the wood floors started tomorrow. mom and i did a lot of painting and packing this week. insulation and drywall go in next week and in 2 weeks, moving in. it's going to be a crazy month or so....crazier than normal?? probably not!
American idol was no surprise to anyone! go BIG DAVID! :)
okay, time to hit the hay! tomorrows the big SUPER SOAKER birthday bash! i decided since sam and max's birthdays are so close, we should just do one big party. all the boys from their classes, plus a few others my son invited (without my knowledge ..:)) are coming tomorrow from 2-4. we are expecting about 21 boys.
pray for us.
i'll post pics tomorrow. if i'm still standing......
