{day 101 of 365}
Day 99 April 9 {2010} Fun day today. Hung out at home, went to lunch with M and Heath, then on a couple of errands. I made homemade Texas Sheet Cake for Hank and Kelly's tonight. We went over to their house with her parents of some other drs. that Hank did his residency with. We had a great time! Great elk burgers, sine, veggies, and the cake turned out wonderfully (which I was worried about b/c of the altitude.)
Day 100 April 10 {2010} M had her first softball game today! Here she is looking so cute! She did great, hitting the ball all three times and stopping it when it came to her. She even went after balls that weren't hit to her!
After baseball, we came home and started some serious spring cleaning. We got the kids' tv room and bathrooms, plus H's room completely unpacked, winter clothes put up, and organized. M decided she liked cleaning bathrooms and did hers and H's! We felt good after this so headed out to get some food for grilling! Here are my fun new dishes from Target! They are specifically for outside, and plastic, so they won't break when the kids are carrying them around. Plus, I got those cute cups from my MIL! Love them!
The kids had a blast playing in the hottub again! What a fabulous great, family day. It seems like forever since we had one. I am so blessed with the people God has put in my life! Love you guys!
Day 101 April 11 {2010} We slept in a little today. Amazing how well Tylenol PM works when you are exhausted! We got up, I did a little design work, then we headed to Panda Express for some yummy food! REI and Target, with on a couple of shirts and a plastic box on the tab, we came home to start on M's room. YIKES! That girl knows how to make a mess! We separated all her winter clothes, reorganized her toys, Heath built a shelf unit we'd had since January, and it was like new again! I cleaned the kitchen and made supper (YUMMY Chicken Spaghetti) while Heath napped. He's now getting ready for work, M is watching a movie, H is playing a game on his computer, and I'm blogging. What a fantastic weekend! Here is proof of our labor this weekend! (Gotta get it clean for my sis who is coming in 2 weeks!)

{day 98 of 365}
Day 98 April 8 {2010} Running behind should be the title of this day! I had to wake up M at 8:40 to leave the house, dressed, in 6 minutes...and we totally did it! I ran a couple of errands today, came home, met the pool people, and attempted to learn how to operate a pool. Luckily, Heath was here, and I'm pretty sure he got it!
After getting the kids from school, we went on search of a suitcase for our trip to Italy. I found one at Dillards! Yeah, it's purple and very cool. Then, we grabbed dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, went to Eddie Bauer, the Apple Store (You will see Heath below with an iPad...he bought one, just not that one!) and the Mac Store for eyeshadow (for me not Heath). I know, he got the better end of the night!
We came home to find our hot tub ready for soaking! WOO HOO! So, at 8:30, we all put on our suits and had our first dip in the hot tub! Here are the kids.
Now we are running behind (see I told you!), M isn't in bed yet, and I am sitting in my wet swim suit helping Hunter with homework. We are great parents huh!?!? Hey, you only have the first time ever in our hot tub once! It just happens to be tonight!

{day 97 of 365}
Day 97 April 7 {2010} Wednesdays wear me out for some reason. Not sure why. M slept with me last night and woke me up about 4 b/c she didn't have "Big Blankie." I'm sure that's self explanatory. Waking up at that time of the morning is bad since I then start waking up over and again wondering how much time I have left to sleep! Anyway...After taking H to school, I came home, made breakfast, and watched Lost. I love this show. It's awesome, one of the best ever on tv. LOVE IT! But, I'm lost...I need the end to happen so I'll know the answer! If there is one that is.
The pool people came today to start opening the pool. Not good. We learned 4 out of the 10 solar panels need to be replaced...gag, but we should be able to swim in it on Friday. With the gas heater, it'll be fine, if we get around to swimming that is...if it's not too cold.
We spent the afternoon at home, i cleaned and did laundry, started dinner too. M didn't want to go to tball practice (i think it's because she didn't want to get out of her pajamas!), but she went anyway. After, I finished our yummy yummy dinner (Cilantro-Lime Chicken, yellow rice, spaghetti squash, and avacado-tomato salsa). I even did the dishes after. (I also worked a little on a new kit and my LO for this week's new release.)
Hunter is starting a new book "Igraine the Brave" as his school is doing a school wide read on it. Each family gets a copy of the book. Tomorrow, I'll catch M and I up on it, then we want to start reading every day as a family! Here is H with his new book!
