Top reason I haven't

blogged in a week. I have been busy busy doing what? SEWING! I love when I get the chance to sew. A few years ago I thought it would be great to make my girls' Easter dresses. I had so much fun and my girls loved it so mucfh that now I always make my girls' Easter dresses. So, this is what I started with

and this is what I ended up with

I was so happy that Zack and Ashlyn were playing good together to give me the time to sew. I remember when I was younger my mom always sewing. She pretty much made all our clothes. I would never be able to do that, but I definately love sewing them dresses. After church, we went up to my parents house and had an FEAST! My brother was up and made the best sushi ever. It was soooo good. I love just hanging out at my parents house and visiting with all my family. We ate, ate, and ate.

Easter Egg Party

Last year a couple neighbors and I decided we would have a neighborhood Easter egg hunt. We hated going to the local ones and having tons of kids and not getting any eggs. So I decided this year I would have it for our neighbors. We had an Easter egg hunt, ate, and colored eggs. We are so thankful to have such great neighbors and friends.

A few Crazy Girls

On Friday night Hailee and four of her friends had a little birthday party for Hailee. They came over around 5 p.m. and we ate pizza and opened presents. I never thought seven o'clock would come to go to the movie. I had five 9 year olds here screaming and yelling and running around everywhere. I almost lost my mind. They were having so much fun though. Brad came home for a minute and left and said good luck with the movies. Finally seven o'clock came and I told them to get out in the suburban. I went out and could hear them all singing and music blaring Hannah Montana. I have to admit, I did start singing and dancing with them. They had to have it that way all the way to the movies. When we finally got to the movies I could hear them talking about how there were a group of boys there and they were sooo cute. I thought "what?" I can't beleive she's already paying attentin to boys. They only got up about four times to go to the bathroom after the movie started. Hailee tried to talk me into a sleep over, but I had to say no. We don't do sleepovers anyways. I've always said I"m going to be a "cool" mom, but I really don't know if my kids will consider me "cool". I"m all about being a parent first. Right now I"m working on how to discipline and be a parent, but still be fun and be good friends with my kids.
