A quick post.

Im so proud of my hubby for stepping out of his comfort zone and helping at Wednesday night church this past year. He mostly enjoyed it and has some new buddies (2nd graders). He did a great job and I am really proud of him. :)

The boys also got their awards tonight and I am so proud of them and happy we have this program to go to. I am so thankful for all the volunteers who help with this.

I am sorry I have not been posting as much lately. I have been busy with finishing school for the summer and I have been helping at the boys school too. 

Happy fishing this weekend (fishing opener) and garage saling!! 

New blog name: Mamma Mia

I changed my blog name, yes I know and I changed the look. I have been wanting to change the name for awhile and couldn't think of a name until one day I was thinking of things the kids and I say and after a couple of no's, it came to me, Mamma Mia. I say this all the time and the kids say it often too. So I thought, yea that fits. So maybe I will change this blog up a bit because I changed the name. Maybe I will write some encouraging posts, things I like the best posts and some movie/book review posts. We will see. Oooo and maybe some cooking stuff too!

We have been doing spring cleanup around the house. Its nice to see my tulips growing and Josh tilling the garden. I know its early for that, but we can't wait to start our garden again. We have also done alot of fishing this spring so far. It truly is the best thing to go to the lake on a sunny day and see all the bluegills and bass swimming around. We went in the jon boat the other day and saw lots of turtles and caught quite a few bluegills too.

  

                           


     Our animals have been enjoying spring also.  

Poor Wookie.

This was Wookie our bearded dragon and as you can see on the third picture our cat was very fond of him/her and she had that look in her eye. Well I didn't notice it, but I guess Josh did. Anyways, one night Conner forgot to check the room to make sure the cat wasn't stuck with the bearded dragon. Well he didn't see her hiding under the tank and well 4 hours later I heard the cat meowing and opened the door to find the tanks top ripped open and Wookie on the floor. It was a mess and yes the bearded dragon we got for Conners birthday was gone. It was so sad, Josh and I had a hard time sleeping that night. So Conner had his tears that morning before school and faced it like a big boy, then later begged for another beardy. So Grandpa was kind enough to buy him his second and last beardy, so if this one doesn't last then we won't be getting more. He understands and he has been quite responsible to make sure the cat is not in the room and that the door is always shut. 

So Wookie is gone, but now we have a new, bigger little guy. Conner wanted to get a bigger one so that he may have a better chance with the kitty, if that was to ever happen again, which it shouldn't after grandpa built a strong top over the tanks top, which makes me feel much better in case we do leave that door open. 

So the new guys name is simply Beardie, which is great because its easy to remember, lol.

So that is the crazy story about our first bearded dragon. 

Wookie hanging out with Conner. 

Sleeping on a log.

We should of known after seeing this pic. But seriously I didn't think she would be able to break through the top.....

This is our new guy, Beardie. He is really feisty and loves crickets. This is how he sleeps with his arms tucked to his sides, cute. 

Week before Easter and Easter weekend.

We went and visited our old neighborhood and hung out with this guy. It is amazing how much bigger they are since last time they were together. 

Hanging out with cousin Courtney at grandmas.

Conner said tonight, Mom, Jesus is Risen, I believe it in my heart. Awww, so awesome to hear him say that, makes me smile.
