Did you have a good Easter?

Ours was snowy, are you surprised?

Here's where I wished we would have been:

Can you believe that green grass and obviously warm weather? The boys would have really enjoyed it.

Man I missed my family yesterday! I so would have loved to have been with them.

Without going into any details, my Easter really sucked eggs. I hope yours was better.

New school pics!

And I'm in love with them! They both did such a good job and I'm ecstatic that the photographer at the school took such great photos!

I completely forgot that it was picture day and let them pick out their own clothes but it's not too bad. The only change I would have made would have been to have shirts without any wording.

Look! Look!

For those of you who really know my hubby you know he's been a nail biter his entire life! His mom told me that nothing ever worked, the bitter stuff you put on the nails, hot sauce, gloves, even band-aids. And it's not just the nails but also everything around them so he had these scratchy stubs that hurt after playing a game of basketball or would cut me up like Freddy Krueger.

Look at them now:

Isn't it amazing? It just goes to show you that he had to be the one to make the decision to quit. It's something that he really wanted to do and he put his mind to it. I'm really proud of him! He even treated himself to his first ever manicure, yes - a manicure, I'm dead serious.

It's not just a bad habit either, I think it might be something in the genes. Tristan has done it also since he was 2. Now I know that if he ever wants to quit he can but it has to be his choice, not because I want him to.

Did you see?

I was watching the CMA's last night and the last presenter was Matthew McConaughey. He told a little story about how he's from Longview, Texas, and went to a concert one night at the Oil Palace in Tyler. Basically he fessed up to using George Straight's name in a story to score with some girls from the concert. Did you see or hear about it? I know I was probably the only one watching the CMA's but I love them.

That's crazy to hear of your little hometown at such a large event on TV!

Anyone listen to Jack Johnson?

I put him on my mp3 player mainly because he's listed under most popular artists on our music website. I just listened to his entire album, Sleep Through The Static, and I thought it stunk! (No fence Jack!) It would be great to go to sleep to but it's not something that helps me get through my work shift.

I love all kinds of music and I'm shocked that I didn't like him. Maybe I should give it one more try?

I've got Van Halen on now to wake me up!

April Fool's Day

Or as Aidan would say, "What's up Fool?" He picked that up from a friend but Dad hates it.

Skipped work to hang out with the boys and see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was okay, I don't enjoy watching animated films but since Dad is out of town this week it had to be me. The boys didn't love it either though. It was snowing again (big surprise) so at least it gave us something to get out and do!

No offense!

We were playing cards the other night and Aidan made a comment about how he and I don't ever win. He then looks at me and says, "No fence!" He said it pretty fast so I didn't really catch it but Josh did! We had such a laugh telling him that it was "no offense" not "no fence."

The other funny thing he says is "ashley" for "actually". Nobody really notices it in conversation though. Wait until he writes it in something at school!
