Birthday ribs!

So I totally forgot to post the picture of my burnt (TO A CRISP) ribs...

Majorly BURNT ribs... see previous posts from January!

I must say tho, he did make up for by "suffering" through a nice meal with me at an Indian restaurant. 

Arkansas Trip

So Back in March we took a road trip to visit my mom. It was a pretty long drive but we did ok! Our niece Katrina came with us and I think she had a good time! Here are a few pictures of our trip.

  There were so many flowers for
Maria to pick!

Troy, Mom & Maria

Cooper and Maria. 2 years apart in age but pretty much the same size!

Big old boot.. was the restaurant we
stopped at in Amarillo, Tx.

Maria's lunch cam in this hat... kinda funny.. (it wasn't just *in*
the hat, but in a basket or something else placed in the hat..)

What? Spring? How'd that get here so quick!

Well again I start a post by saying its been a long time! I guess trying to keep a 4 year old busy and happy takes a lot of time! So currently I'm finding time by having her sit next to me on another computer and play her computer games! Yes, she's gotten quite savvy with the computer (which is a frightening thought!) but in this world it will benefit her in the future (I hope!), if nothing else it gives me some peace and quiet to write!

So what's been happening.. Easter came and went. It was a nice day and the kids had their annual easter egg hunt around their grandparents house.

The crazy eggs we decorated
