is it pregnancy..or just me?

Today I locked myself in the bathroom and enjoyed a delicious ice cream sandwich. You may wonder...why the bathroom and why the lock? Well, I didn't feel like sharing, I'm a bit more selfish these days with my treats. The bathroom was the safest place I could think of. If someone knocked on the door, I could say I was going to the bathroom. Genius. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier!!

(I'm not quite to this point yet, but it sure is funny!)

6 Things that make me HAPPY!!!

Terri tagged me....so I'll be nice and do it...if I can think of 6 things. Just kidding, that is easy as pie. I tag anyone that wants to do it.

1. my cute family

2. all things chocolate
3. shopping by myself
4. cuddling up and reading a good book
5. Christmas smells (the tree, the cookies, the plastic toys)
6. hugs and kisses, especially from my kiddos because they are just so darn sweet!

March madness (not really)

It's been a little while since I've done a post. So, here are some recent random pictures! We all have spring fever and are ready for a little warmth. (not too much please) Tonight we actually worked in the yard a little bit...it was wonderful!! The kids enjoyed digging in the dirt and playing some ball. Enjoy the pictures!!

Berklie and her love of hats. She can't get enough of them, even the ones that don't fit at all anymore. She insisted that we "strap" the purple hat...it was really hard strap and I'm pretty sure not very comfortable for her.

Sweet Carter and Berklie. Take my picture!!

At the beginning of the month, Berk's got a nasty bug! She couldn't hold anything down and lost weight pretty quick. This is her asleep on my bathroom floor while I was getting ready. She bounced right back though and we were all glad to have our happy Berk back. A little video for Grandma and Grandpa.

Pay it Forward
My sister in law Leslie has this on her blog and I thought it was pretty cool..simply because I want to WIN! But, I forgot to post a comment on her blog, but lucky me my Mother in law posted the same thing......I admit, it's completely selfish...I just want to win something. So, here it is...Pay It Forward.
