More Weekend Fun

We celebrated Kelly's 39+1 Party and it was such a beautiful evening out on the deck.  Happy Birthday Kelly!

The garage floor is officially finished. 

New and old floor

It is all shiny and there are specks all over it.

Sorry honey but I am still parking my car in the garage!!

Dylan made this for science class.  He made a temperate rainforest.  I loved the waterfalls.

Tried some new recipes; Kansas lollipops(bacon pork pinwheels)

How can you go wrong with bacon and pork tenderloin??

Also tried coffee chocolate chip muffins and pina colada cocktails(not frozen).  Another weekend has flown by!

Prom Night

Really???  My baby girl is going to Prom!!!!!  So I couldn't decide which picture to post so I am posting all of them.

Her friend Alyssa came over so I had to take one more picture.

Sheila's Change of Status Party

Sheila and I have worked together for 15 years and it all started in the classroom.  Working in the classroom with Sheila was some of the best years I have ever had at my job.  After 8 years of teaching together we both got different positions but I still got to see her almost every day.  We became great friends and have tons of memories.  We have even traveled together to Italy, Key West, and Taos. She is now moving on to work at the library but she is still going to be a substitute in the classrooms and office.  Sooooo I got to do a "change of status" from employee to substitute.  That means she really isn't leaving me:)

Of course we would have cake on her last day!!

After work we went to the Other Place for dinner and drinks.  Sheila, I am so glad you came into my life and I am looking forward to making a lot more memories. 

Women Who Wine Night

Tonight was "Woman who wine night" at Jowler Creek Winery.  We sampled all nine wines and had fun making glitter wine glasses.

Vicki, Kasey, Sheila, Stacey and I had a great time at the winery.

Here are my glitter wine glasses I made.

Having fun with glitter!!

Kasey, me and Vicki

I held my wine glasses for the 35 minute drive home because I did not want them to get ruined.

Sheila making fun of me!

What a great night out with the girls!

Happy Easter

We started off the day by going to Saints for their Easter Brunch.

Then when we got home we let Mason out first to find his Easter surprises. He found his new toy bunny and treats.

He really liked his bunny toy.

Then it was Cass and Dylan's turn to have an egg hunt.  I wasn't going to have one this year but they wanted one.

Cass and Dylan were both very excited to get new shoes that they have been wanting.  Dylan has been wanting Nike Kobe 8 basketball shoes for months so he was shocked that he finally got them.  Cass got a pair of blue Vans shoes. 

Mason even took a nap with his new bunny!

This afternoon I made homemade cookie dough oreo cookies.  Apparently by her expression she loved them.

We also have these new Oreo cookies but I like my Oreo cookies better.  They taste exactly like fruit punch.

Dylan was bored so he made a one hole miniature golf course in the basement.

Dylan even got a hole in one. (I did not)

I also wanted to blog about a donut shop we went to yesterday in Wichita.  It is called the DONUT WHOLE.

They had all cake donuts with lots of different toppings.  They use locally source ingredients including Kansas buttermilk. The sea salt caramel was outstanding. SOOOO GOOD!!

The grill has steaks and cabbage with bacon and garlic right now.  The bbq baked beans are done and of course the cookies have already been sampled.  After dinner is family movie night with GRUDGE MATCH.  Also, there is a pineapple coconut martini in my near future:)

Happy Easter!!

Happy Banzai

Well, once again we had to hurry and go use our groupon for four before it expired!!  This time we enjoyed a nice dinner at Happy Banzai Japanese Steakhouse.

He wanted me to put him on YouTube!

Me and my friend Betty

Oh my gosh!  I am so stuffed.  Thanks Betty and Tony for going out on just a few days notice.

Game NIght in the Garage

We had game night last night in the garage because it was a little windy out on the deck.  We ate a yummy dinner first....pork butt, cheesy potatoes, spinach dip and mini pecan praline bundt cakes.  We also drank bahama mamas and a drink called Big Blue Sky.

Pecan praline bundt cakes with sugared pecans on top

The card game we played is called Cards Against Humanity...a party game for horrible people.  WOW! It is hilarious and obscene and just plain horrible but we loved it.  We had lots of laughs with this game.

Me, Katie and Sheila

Griffin was helping his daddy play.

Mason decided to sleep in the bouncy seat while Griffin was playing cards.

Griffin had a great time with Pete.

What a fun game night! 

It was not fun getting up at 6:45am to go to an 8:00am and 9:00am game but I survived!  One more game at 8:00pm today!.

Family Movie Night

We had our first garage sale today. I was at work (thank goodness) and Michael was in charge of the sale.  We had accumulated a lot of stuff over the years.  Since we made a little cash today Michael took us to the movies.

We paid for the tickets, popcorn and pop all with one dollar bills.  We saw CAPTAIN AMERICA and it was good.

I am so happy tomorrow is Friday because it has not been the best week at all!!!!!!!
