Royal Wedding of the 21st Century

I am not a Royal watching junkie. Honestly I am not.  However, it is still an event worth documenting.  Princess Diana's oldest son Prince William married his long-time love, Kate Middleton, Friday, April 29, 2011.  I didn't get up in the middle of the night to watch the festivities, but caught different clips throughout the morning.  Beautiful wedding gown. Cute little kids. :)

Easter

Easter weekend this year...we had a good weekend.  I tutored on Saturday morning, but Bruce took Allison to the Easter egg hunt that Thrivent sponsored at Allison's school.  She came home with a lot of loot from that one. :)  He then took her to the egg hunt at the Country Club, so she was a happy girl.

Sunday, we went to Aunt Marilyn's house for a nice dinner with the family...everyone was there, and it is always a nice time.  Got to see my niece, baby Shelby again, but unfortunately did not get any pictures taken this time. It was a pretty nice time weatherwise too.

"The Cousins"

It was so wonderful to see Cousin "Baby Shelby".  We hadn't been able to visit with her since Christmas, and it was so fun seeing her.  She had, of course, grown so much in the past three months.  However, she is still, of course, A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  She is such a sweetie.  Allison loved to hold her and carry her around.  Bless little Shelby's heart, she seemed to be pretty used to being lugged around, and was very tolerant.

Grandma Joyce had gotten the girls matching dresses, and we tried to get pictures of the girls together.  It was hard to get them "just perfect" where you could see the dresses well; it seemed that when Allison was ready, then Shelby was squirmy, and by the time that we had coaxed Shelby to a position, then Allison had lost interest in what she was supposed to do, and was looking somewhere else or had her arms flinging around. :) Tons of candid pictures!!! HA!

Happy April Fool's Day!

APRIL FOOL'S!!!!  HA HA HA HA Ha ha ha ha  
...cuz yesterday was April Fool's Day...get it?    ahem...  not that good, huh?
It's the best that I personally am able to do. 

April Fool's Day to me is like St. Patrick's Day...I might try to participate in it just to stay with the group but it's not that big of a deal to me.  Am I a fuddy dud or what?   Allison tried to have fun  with it with her dad, they were having squirrels and rabbits on the head, etc.  

Actually, it was yesterday.  I went and had my first mammogram.  I know, I am a little past due...like 5 years...I was supposed to have one when I was 40, and then one every year after that I think.  It just was the unknown.  It really wasn't that bad.  It wasn't the funnest thing in the world, of course, but I would rather have a mammogram than a pap, that's for sure.  They had me fill in a postcard with my address to send out reminder card next year when it's time. I think that's a great idea, otherwise, it might be another 5 years before I go back! HA!
