I found clothes for the wedding!!

I got my dress, Kaylee's dress, Emily's dress and Nathan's suit for C.J's wedding!  Yay!  The clothes will also double up for Easter.  I'm so excited, my mom and I had a great shopping day this past Sunday!!  I love when you find what you need.  I still have some work to do on these floppy chicken wing arms since my dress is sleeveless but June is a few months away so I'm not too worried yet.   I found Nathan's and Kaylee's at JcPennys.  As soon as Kaylee saw the dress she wanted to go try it on and then when she came upstairs with her little crown on too I knew we had a winner.  Nate of course was hamming it up:

Kaylee loves her dress!  It's such a pretty peach color, goes great with her hair.  It looks like a little prom dress, I love the flowers on it:

Emily was dancing around in her dress.  I fell in love with this one, I love the cute basket weave and you can't tell in this picture but the skirt is nice and full, the fabric is really nice, silky.  I saw a few other dresses, one at CP that was cute with big pink polka dots and I almost got that one but after I saw this one in Macy's, it was more of a fancy dress, I just had to get it:

I did not take pictures of myself in my dress, we don't need to go there.  I might have to take some pro pictures of the kids outside in their fancy clothes!!  Maybe if the weather warms back up, no indoor pictures.  Spring pictures need to be taken outside with new grass, little buds and spring flowers!  I know a really cute chinese garden in SB, maybe I'll take them there.  Might have to wait until after Easter though.  Maybe I can do a few with Em before, I got her this little chicky that peeps and she LOVES it!  She keeps hugging and kissing it and every time it peeps she says "aww" and then has to hug and kiss it again.  Ha!   

Kaylee is going to a sleepover party tonight and Nate gets to stay with Nana and Papa so it's only the littlest one and us tonight.  Maybe we'll all go to bed early tonight and catch up on some Zzz's!  

Daddy Day!

I meant to blog this on Tuesday but didn't have time so it's a little late coming.

Tuesday was so beautiful!! In the 70's!!  My awesome husband took a vacation day so he could enjoy the weather and his family.  We made a trip to  South Bend to take my ring in because it has a loose stone.  Then we stopped for an early lunch at Olive Garden, mmmmm.  I had the salad and soup combo and it was so good!  We stopped back home and got out the bikes and took a bike ride and then took a trip to the park where we let Emily work out some energy and we just really relaxed and enjoyed the day.  After we got home we got out the stroller and took a nice walk.  It was just too good of a day to spend indoors.  I enjoyed spending some time with him and soaking up the sun.  

After all that fun we got down to doing some yard work, blah!  Jay (lives near us) was so nice and let us use his leaf sucker that hooks up to his lawn mower so Jimmy could just buzz around the yard really quick and pick up the other half of our leaves that didn't fall until we had a foot of snow on the ground last year.  Last fall it took me two weeks to rake and bag the first half and I know it would have been a long project to get the rest this spring, thank you Jay!!  So leaves are now sitting in a pile waiting to be bagged (a very huge pile).  I will not touch them until the weather gets warmer again.  

Since Tuesday Jimmy has been working late at the dinning room table, I'm working my booty off trying to knock out this editing.  I'm also doing great working out, it's finally to the stage where it's an enjoyable habit that gives me energy.  I've been trying to work out at least once a day, sometimes twice to burn off that flab and tone up.  I'll be getting really busy soon so I have to get in shape now.  This weekend I'm taking pictures at a birthday party and thats it so I should be able to edit those pictures and get a lot more done on that wedding during the week next weekend.  

I'm posting a few pictures on the blog, the rest on facebook:

Daddy was getting into the picture taking:
