Happy Birthday Honey!!!

Happy Birthday Kent! 47 years old!!! Just getting better, not older! ; )

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lucky the Leprechaun came for a visit today! All sorts of mischief occurred! Chairs were turned around, pillows were placed at the foot of the beds, shamrocks were scattered about the house, milk turned green, and more!! The children spent lots of time hunting for the tricky little leprechaun!

Quite possibly the BEST thing was that when we all got home the Wii was on and we thing the tricky leprechaun had been playing a game! There was a new character named Sean who looked an awful lot like a leprechaun...

For dinner were had corned beef, mashed potatoes and peas! For dessert we had frosted shamrock cookies and green M&M's!

Mischief, merriement, memories!

Our Garden In Bloom

Popcorn and a movie!

A typical Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Depending on what's showing at the Base Theater that's where you'll find us! Clean, family oriented theater, great prices, good snacks! Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for kids. Popcorn is $3.50 for a jumbo, kids drinks are $2.25! We bring our own brown paper bags to divide up the popcorn for the kids. Often you find us there with our friends - Joey, Michael, and Carolyn along with their mom, Sandy. On this day we saw Marley & Me. Great, enjoyable movie, sad at the end, but sweet too. For some reason we would up wth popcorn buckets at home...not sure why...

Peep Show!

Yup, got a little stir crazy with all the snow, got some Peeps from their package and went to town. Quite the production...

PS No Peeps were harmed during the production, they were however eaten shortly after filming ended.

March, in like a LION!

Well, what they say about March must be true. Mother Nature gave us quite a visit over night dropping almost a foot of snow throughout our area! We had quiet a morning shoveling our driveway and our older neighbors. The boys had the best time playing in the snow, but only for a little while as it was brutally cold out. DS #4 managed to create his much desired snowman (with a little help from Mom & Dad), DS #3made beautiful snow angels, DS's #2, 3, & 5 created an ice fort with the help of a neighbor boy.

*Walking into the Lodge and finding a bunch of our friends waiting for us!

*Jumping into the Wave Pool!

*Drifting down the Lazy River with our friends!

*Heading back to the room to catch American Idol.

*Story time in the lobby in our pajamas.

*Going to Sonic in our PJ's to have sundaes!

*Spending the morning playing withour friends in the waterpark.

*Wearing our swimsuits out of the Lodge in the 71 degree weather (IN February!!)

*Swimming and playing until we were the last family still there from our group!

*Stopping at SONIC one more time on the way home! Just one more Cherry Limeade please!!
