25 Randoms, a post from facebook

1) I was born in April but thats not why I am named April.

8) I am my mother and love it, I keep WAY too much stuff in my purse and can never find what I need and I can cook a meal out of most anything :)

9) I am the worst person to say this to" Remind me to do ........" I wont remind you, I can never remember to remind you! I have a weird memory. I can remember full phone numbers (including area codes) of people I haven’t seen or spoken to for ten years - but I have problems recalling whether I turned the oven off

10) I have wanted a miniature horse as a pet since I was little. I used to always send in and get free videos of them.

11) I love re-arranging my house and I am addicted to finding storage ideas on the internet. Usually if I find an idea I like, Corey can build it.

12) I love IKEA

13) I do taxes every year for about 10 people....I do mine the day I get my W2, hello refund!

14) I want to wear a black wedding dress like this one: http://i42.tinypic.com/14xjevd.jpg, Why? Well why not! I love black.

15) I still have my favorite baby blanket, its red and white with a ripped up elephant on it

16) I get car sick if I read in the car

17) One of my favorite jobs was being the "beer cart girl" at Double JJ, I worked with so many friends and my mom was my boss.

19) I have designed the tatoo that I want to get. Its a tribal turtle and has Logan and Kylers name on it

20) I used to read 1-2 books a week. Now, I read a half a book in a year. I blame that on the Internet

21) I am a middle child and believe this has made me a perpetual ‘peace maker’.

22) I've never gotten a traffic speeding ticket but when I was 16 I got a seatbelt ticket while my ex was with me, LOL

23) I miss the days of riding in the "pickle" with Dacia, singing extremely loud in the car with Liz, late night Jimmy Johns with Nicole, useless driving around with Kendra. I miss all my gals!

24) I think about Tanya every single day and when I get married I dont want a maid of honor because she is there in memory as my maid of honor. I miss her terribly.

25) Corey and I met at the gym. I was ready to move back to West Michigan and then I met him:)

Chunky Monkey

Here is Kyler, aka Chunky Monkey FINALLY enjoying the slide! He was pretty scared a few weeks ago :)

Hot April Day!

It was so hot out on Saturday and Kyler's hair is getting way too long. Time for a haircut this week. Corey wants his hair to grow out but this summer would just be hot for Kyler to have long hair. SO, I put his bangs in a ponytail on Saturday. The bottom picture is the aftermath of taking the ponytail out :)

Zoo Fun

Perfect day for the zoo today!

80 degrees today!

Lots to do around the house. Spring cleaning will be in full force starting today. I love the first really warm day when you can open all the windows and breath the fresh air through the house. Corey sorted through the garage last night and I came home to my hammock awaiting me in the back yard. Ahhhhhh.... love the hammock :)

Too bad my back yard doesn't look like this though:

Bagel

Last night:

Logan: "Mom, that worker cut a hold in my sandwich"

Me: "Logan, that's called a bagel"


Hmmm... I sat and thought about it, Logan is 7 and he had never ate a bagel before now, haha.

Dunes

We had a blast this weekend!

Time to get away and relax...

Yep, thats me! IN 2 hours, I will be 30! We are heading to my parents tomorrow morning for a weekend of family visiting! We will be riding on the dunes Friday and I cant wait to take tons of pictures. My mom will have a housefull of grandbabies to keep her busy! We went to HJ's for dinner tonight and it was so good. I hadnt been there in so long. They have one thing on the menu that I get and its pasta primavera. Its the best I have ever had. They load you up on bread and salad and when your main course arrives, you have to take most of it home.

I probably wont write again till I get back! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Easter

Easter was fun. Logan found all but 1 egg that we hid in the house. Then, he hid them all from me about 3 times. Kyler had no interest in finding or playing with eggs. He was trying to figure out a way to climb up on the table and ransack Logans basket full of candy. I finished the 2nd and 3rd Twilight books this weekend. I will probably start the 4th one tonight. I read way too fast and then when the book is done I wish I would have something else to read.

We had a great lunch at Cracker Barrel with my dad and grandparents on Saturday in Lansing. My sister and brother and law also met us and I wanted to kidnap my nephew for the day. He is so cuddly! This week I turn 30! I am taking my birthday off and heading to my dads house. If weather permits, I will be on the sand dunes!

Questions by Logan

Does papa like the song "Life is a Highway?"
Does papa like "Hershey's with almonds?"
"Mom, when will I be an uncle?"
"Mom, Did you want David Cook to win or would you have been happier if the other David would have won?"
"Will my cat move out with me when I go to college?"

SO TRUE! I LOVE POSTSECRET

Eggs

Logan was very proud of his egg decorating skills. Kyler pretty much just played with one egg the whole time trying to figure out how this weird thing could be eaten. We are going to do 12 more eggs on Thursday. We bought some tye dye for eggs and Logan is pretty excited.

Dunes or Bust!

So for my 30th bday coming up soon I told my family I want to go to the dunes. Why? I bought my quad last year and have only been to the dunes once! I dont want a crazy party, drinkfest, I just want to go riding. My sister just bought her quad a few weeks ago and is making me jealous because she has been trail riding a few times already!! Leah, I envy you ( that is her in the pic above) and love you! See you soon :)

I cant stop laughing

This picture is hilarious. It makes me think of my cousins!

My beautiful sisters!

Karate Kid

First full night of karate, pretty excited about his uniform :)

Is it Friday yet?

I had to do a little photo fun on myself too!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad, Happy Birthday!!!! Since I can't see you today, I thought I would leave a blog for you since you read this! Love you! Of course, I had to do a little photo fun with your picture from 1976!
