All those mocha lattes

I gotta do Pilates! It's killing me! I signed up for this to feel better.. I feel like I've been hit by a truck!
Since my last post the weather straightened around and I have enjoyed getting outside and doing yardwork.. Well,, I've enjoyed the outside part anyway. Yesterday Bobby and I bought fertilizer and weed killer,, some potting soil and flowers for my pots, a new whiskey barrel to put flowers in, a wheelbarrow... All ready to beautify the outside. Today, the outside turned ugly. Cold, rainy, nasty and 48 degrees! Bobby was in Indy this morning and I told him it was cold. He said he didn't think it was so cold. I checked weather dot com and it 48 here and 68 in Indy! That is a pretty big temp difference for 50 miles! Oh, getting back to our yard purchases.. I am SO happy to get a wheelbarrow!! I have wanted one for so long! This one is perfect too.. It has 2 bicycle tire wheels, and the "barrow"(?) part is plastic, so it is lightweight and stable!
Last sunday we went to great niece Samantha's 1st birthday party. It was so fun to see all my little great nieces and nephews. They are SO CUTE!!
Bobby and I look forward to little ones being in our family gatherings.. (hint to Calvin and Brooke).. hehehe
We had to leave the party quick to head back to kokomo to meet Kaitlyn at the library to see her win an award for one of her art projects. Her art teacher had selected 2 of her projects to be in Kokomo's Art on The Square Show and she was told that she had won something. She won 1st place in 2D art for her mosaic. The prize was a blue ribbon and a twenty dollar bill. After the presentations were done we walked around the library and looked at all the art works. Very impressive! Then we headed out the door and were standing on the sidewalk saying bye to Kait , when Bobby asked her if she had her prize envelope.. Of course she didn't .. So we look around and down the sidewalk and there it is lying in the gutter! And now we know why artists starve...

4/12/07 Update dedicated to Monica

1. Why are we having WINTER IN APRIL??? This stinks!

And now I will fill in on all the happenings since my last post.
Monica and Matt had their beautiful baby boy, Lincoln! What a cutie!

Kaitlyn went on her spring break trip to Germany. She had a wonderful but exhausting time. She discovered she likes champaign over there. All in all it was quite the educationally enriching experience for her.

Jacob came home last weekend. Bobby and I had made plans to stay all night with Johnna saturday night and when we were at her place getting ready to go out to dinner, she was showing me pictures on her facebook, and then she suggested we look at pictures on Jake's facebook... When we went to it, the eye catching headline was proclaiming a party at our house that very night... GRRRRR......... We were relieved to see the house still standing upon our return. Anyway, we had dinner at a really nice restuarant called Red Light... really cool decor, service that was amazing, great food... and an eye popping check!! Holy Moses!! Next day, on our way home, we drove through the china town portion of the city. Sometime I want to explore that area.. looks very interesting.

Two weeks ago, my friend Terri and I joined the local Y and started taking Pilates on tuesdays and thursdays... OMG! It is a killer! We are determined to stick with it and hope to someday be able to keep up with the instructor. When I first told Johnna that I signed up for it,, she laughed out loud!

That's all I can think of! XXOOXX
