my amazing husband

Aaron surprised me with an early mother's day/ anniversary gift yesterday morning! A camcorder!!!!! I had been wanting one for a while, and then even more so after our trip to Kansas in March, after watching old home movies that Jennifer had taken!! I am very thankful and excited. He is the most thoughtful husband ever. I haven't had time to play with it yet, but this weekend, I am sure we will break it in and start filming! Time flies, and it great to have those visual memories! THANK YOU BABE!

Monday night Aaron and I went out with our bible study group to Main Event in Grapevine! It was an awesome time together! We first bowled, (Aaron is a really good bowler- like really good!) and then we played Laser Tag! It was so much fun! There were about 12 of us total, and it was guys against girls and boy some of these bible study women were super competitive!! At the end everyone compared scores, and mine was like 28- versus every body else who had scored like 1300 or more! So either I am just a pacifist, or something was wrong with my gun! Aaron thinks it was a gun defect (thanks babe)!

Anyway, we are at the end of our week and I am looking forward to a little R and R this weekend! Next week is TAKS for the kids, so we will need a relaxing weekend! This is Aaron's last weekend at Home Depot! Cannot wait till that is OVER! Starting Monday he will be home a lot more! Have a great weekend everybody!

catchin up

We just had a pretty busy weekend. I am just now having a chance to post. Friday night me and the kids had fun renting movies and picking up chicken strips- I know that all sounds really Southern- but we love our chicken strips and gravy and fried okra!! Mmmm mmm- my family can really put away some chicken. And I have to brag on this new "Family Video" place that we have found- it just opened right by our house! This Friday was the second Friday we have gone! They have an awesome game rental (great for Sid- only $1) and free kid movies- great for Zoe and New Releases are like $2.49!! We got out of there on Friday with 4 movies and 2 video games for $1.97, when we signed up for membership we recieved all these 50% off coupons!! So that was awesome.

Saturday Lacey and I went to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"! That movie was hilarious! I know it is not the deep thinker type movie like Schindlers List or even Crash, but it was just like mind numbingly silly! Just what a couple of hard working mommies need every once in a while! And well, me and Lacey just really like these kind of movies. We saw "Knocked Up" for Lacey's birthday last year, and laughed so hard. Just too funny! If you are offended easily- maybe don't go though! Not offensive like Borat or Saw, but, ya know- silly, i dont know how else to describe it. It is just really funny!!

Sunday, my wonderful husband went to church with us, and the kids sat in big church with us, and the whole day was really relaxing and awesome. Lots of trampoline jumpin and coupon cuttin, and then we baked and went to bible study!!

We are having wonderful weather here in Texas, and loving every minute of it!! That was our weekend in a nutshell!!
