An "all over the place" post!

I don't really have time to talk about too much and I haven't been taking lots of pictures, but in an effort to not get too far behind on my blog....here you go!

My bird's nest.....remember I found this in my fern.....well then I found 4 light blue eggs. So sweet! Well the latest update is that when I went to water it again, there was one egg left and a few little feathers! I am assuming the runt didn't hatch!

We went to Nashville for Shannon and Court's wedding....I didn't take pictures..CRAZY I know! I did snap one when we were at Roberts downtown!

JC is flipping houses!! This is his first one so we will see how it unfolds! This is the finished product!



EASTER...this year we started by going to church with my mom and brothers. Then, we headed over to JC's sister Missy's in-laws! Sounds distant but they are a great family and opened their home. We were going to host Easter, but the in-laws decided that I may not need that pressure. THANK YOU!!!


And don't you know that my finace.....came up with Egg-lympics!!! It was SOOOO fun and he did a great job organizing the 6 events! I don't have pictures of everything, but we had six teams and here is a look at egg darts and egg archery!! How much more fun does throwing raw eggs get!!!!

And yes there were prizes....

A busy day!!

This past Saturday we had a busy day!! We were already invited to a birthday party for Missy's twins and then we were hosting a party at our house for some family! AND THEN....Savanna's mom asked us to go to an Egg Hunt at Savanna's school early Saturday morning! I was really hesitant for several reasons....but trying to be a comprising step-mother...I agreed to go to the Egg Hunt, but a little later in the morning! Savanna still needs a good, long nap in the afternoon so I didn't want to get going (wake up early on a Saturday) too early...she would tire out too quickly. Anyways, JC, me, and Savanna went to Egg Hunt, but we never heard from her mom! Oh well....I enjoyed it better that way! (note--I am remaining calm in this post...and I'm not really surprised she couldn't make it)!

Savanna got to see lots of her teachers from school, jump in the bouncy, make crafts, and ride a pony!! I know it was fun for her....but we really had a lot of other things to do already (that's where the frustration sets in)!!


After the Egg Hunt (not sure why I keep capitalizing that), we went over the Missy's for a short time for a birthday party!! Since we were experiencing record highs (sure felt like it), Missy had a pool for the kids to play in.....and Savanna LOVED it! We didn't get to stay long, but I'm glad we got to go! Those are the moments when you realize how fast time is passing...celebrating first birthdays when there seems no possible way an entire year has passed! Oh and I must say how much more fun it is to go the kids' parties, when you have a kid!! Glad I got to fit in...having a step-daughter and all!!



Finally, the last thing for the day was a party at our house for JC's sister Andrea and her new husband, Lonnie! We were also celebrating JC's sister Missy, her husband, and kids who arrived from Dubai last week for the wedding! All of the kids got to play and everyone had a relaxing time!



AND NOW I'M EXHAUSTED!!!! It's funny that I look forward to the work week to get some sleep....but I guess until the wedding this is how it will be!!

And what to my wandering eyes did appear???

A bird's nest in one of my new ferns!

This past Friday night I went to water one of my ferns. After taking it down from hanging so high, I dumped in a pitcher of water, without even noticing that I had completely submerged a bird's nest!! The good news is that I saw nothing in it after I realized what had happened!

I'm not sure what the future holds for this little bird's nest....I would like to keep my ferns living for a good while!

Couples Shower

This weekend some of my friends (10 all together) hosted a couples shower for JC and I!! It was so fun.....and always entertaining!! The theme was Mexican and Margaritas....I LOVED that!!! They decorated our backyard and the entire party was outside!! So much fun!!!

Pictures can tell the story! My fiance was there....but I didn't get any pictures of us together...there might be one at the end!!

And YESSSS...there was live music and there was a pinata...one of my favorite parts!
