Happy Day Before Easter!!!!

HAPPY DAY BEFORE EASTER!!!!!!!!

We are off to Nana & Papa's to color eggs!!  Then planning on stopping by the beach again.  Today we have a full van.  DB, me, Noah, Nathan & Kaedyn, Shi and Jax!

And ...... um.... Nathan...... that's not how we wear our seatbelt.  Makes Daddy think he's a bad scary driver.  Stop hiding.

Jax was all "I'll protect you Nathan!!"

Papa decided to get Nathan a new Power Wheel for his birthday.  Spoiled little boy.  Then I reminded my Mom that it should really be for ALL of them, not just Nate, they are all going to play with it anyway ....  (Nathan is clearly "favorited" by my Mom.  But she doesn't deny or hide it.... and she loves them all.)  So the boys got the new ATV Power Wheel to go with the Jeep ....  they had a blast playing on those, and their bikes.

After awhile we came in and dyed eggs with Nana.

After we were done at Nana & Papa's ... we all went down to the beach so Jax could run and play again.  He was already worn out from playing with his friend Spike (didn't get any pictures - oops) ... Spike is a Bull Dog.  He's the dog of Nana & Papa's houseguests and he doesn't get along with my Mom & Step-Dad's older dogs.  So it's nice that Spike and Jax get along.  I'll get pictures of them tomorrow.

So here are the pictures from the beach today.

Noah, Nathan, Kaedyn, Shila and Jaxson

Nathan throwing (trying to skip) rocks.

She's still got such a little belly ....

Some family pictures....   Mom, Dad and Nathan

Dad, Mom, Noah, Nathan & Kaedyn and Jax... lol....  I like how Nathan and Kaedyn are about the same size again.

Mr. Noah - 13 years old....

Mr. Nathan .....

Mr. Kaedyn (and photobomber Jax)

Dennis and I

More Jellyfish - it was just this one today that we saw, we saw like....  20 yesterday ....

The last of my amazeballs 7-layer Salad.  I forgot how much I looooooooooove this stuff....

Tomorrow is Easter.  There will be the death of many many eggs.   Let's all take a moment to appreciate the sacrifice of the eggs.

The 3rd day of the month......

Soooooooooooo ...... The last couple of weeks I have been hunting, pecking and dropping some serious gold in the Auction House on WOW..... Been trying to get to my 600 pet achievement because .... well, I'm obsessed.   Yesterday I was down to TWO .... 598 out of 600 and I'm like COME ON....... and then I finally got enough Timeless Isle Coins to by the Sky Lantern.  So I did.  And then I was 599 out of 600 and I was going NUTS!!!!  NUTS!!!  I mean I was ....... RIGHT...... THERE..........

I still don't have my Perky Pug.  OMG I know it's horrible, and I should be ashamed of myself.  But come on - I don't like doing dungeons.  So ran some cuz I'm only 20 people away from getting it.  Come to find out.... it has to be heroic .... Really - ugh.  UGH.   So now?  Who knows when I'll get him.

So then I am like, what profession made pets do I not have.  And I found one.  A non-combat pet.  I never look in the none combat pets!!  OMG how dumb.  So I got it...... Yu'lon Kite.  It's made by Inscription along with the Yu'lon Kite which I also bought but later found out I already had one.  Didn't think I did ....  so I'll give the other one to DB or someone ....  or repost it on the AH I guess.  But OYE..... 600 finally .....

So then I got THIS amazing beast......  Stormwing.

I got my 600!!!

My temp today is nothing to write home about.  Seems to be pretty much my normal temp these days.

Things are just NOT okay.

If that weren't enough.  

I played an April Fools joke on my husband.  Back fired.  But I have a feeling it won't end well. 

One-Pot Chicken Dinner - as per our Meal Planning :)

Today has just been a mentally and emotionally draining day.  :(  Just don't feel like writing much.

Went to the Beach ....

We didn't get our normal family BLUE picture done this year.  Just been so busy the last few days.  Everyone wore their blue and I didn't even get pictures of everyone.  Boo!!

Got a meal plan going for the next few days.  Have a budget to the 8th .....  and gotta stick to it.  We are trying to stick to this because we have a budget for food and it seems like we're running out at the end of the month, so we really gotta try to do this and stick to it

Stopped by to get a box of baby stuff from Ash and saw my sweet little niece!!!  Awwwww I lubs her too!!  Kaedyn was with and was shy guy the whole time going "can we go now" .... lol....   she's getting teeth and she's walking!!!  And she turns ONE next month!  Where has the year gone???  I didn't get to see Autumn because she was napping :/

I stopped by back at home and picked up Shila and then we took Jaxson (and Kaedyn) down to the beach.  Jax had the BEST TIME... he was sooooooo funny.  Running back and forth and up and down the beach, picking up clam shells and rocks and digging and playing a bit in the water... he just had a BLAST.

We saw two Eagles ....

Saw one of the ferries leaving the Bremerton

My favorite Six Year Old.....

Jellyfish...

We came across a German Shepard named Jasper (or George, I guess they call him George at home and he answers to both) ...  and he's about a year and a half old.   So they played a bit on leash and once we both felt comfortable they'd be okay, we let them both off leash and oh my gosh they just played and played and played and played - it was great.

Got home and I *think* Noah drew a Tardis outside

Had hamburgers & 7 layer Salad for dinner.... NUM....

While at Ash's today, she gave me Noah's birthday gift she had for him (and has had for him since before his birthday but this is the first chance I had to grab it) ...  I had to sew up the top a bit and fix a few things on it - but the boy LOVES it and wouldn't take it off.   Once I showed him, after I got home, he kept coming in asking if I fixed it yet because he wanted to get it on his head.

After Nathan's bath, Jax thought he needed another one.  Or at least, he wanted to lick the water off of him.  Ha ha ha ha ha .....

Pink is EVERYWHERE and I like it....

I found this a year ago and it's just funny to see it again in my TIMEHOP because it's almost Nathan's birthday.  He has already stated that he wants to go to the zoo.... but he's come such a long way in his (almost) 8 years.

It always amazes me how much they have all grown.  Can't believe that the oldest child I gave birth to is 19 ... I am the "adoptive" mom of a 21 year old.... I'm sure - eventually, that will fall off (the "adoptive" part) ...  I have two soon-to-be daughter-in-laws.  I have a beautiful little grandbaby I adore and another one on the way.  I'm not even 40 yet! LOL

Speaking of GRANDBABIES .....  Miss Clairah came over today.   We had a lot of errands to run.  Clairah was with for some of it.  We stopped at Goodwill and Nonna and Pappy got Claire some Hello Kitties and a stroller ...

I just love her.  She's so silly.  Today it was so sweet!!  We dropped Shi and Clairah off at home and went to leave again.... well every time Claire saw me walking to the van she's go "GAMMA" .... and I'd turn and she'd be standing there.  Twice she came running up to me, she ran the whole sidewalk and into my arms!!  I mean seriously - soaring heart!!  One time she goes "GAMMA" and I stopped.  She yelled "WAIT!" and then she yelled "COME!"  and I told my little darling that I'm not a dog! LOL...  but yeah.  She's my girl - love her so much!!

Got some clothes for Miss Elly.

Couple of elephants for the Elly-phant.

Clairah won't let us do anything with her hair.  She rips off headbands, cries when we try to put her hair in pigtails or even put little clips in her hair.  So I told Shi that we have to have stuff on the Elly's head all the time so when she gets hair we can pretty it up :)  So we've been collecting some of that stuff too.

We have a baby shower to go to for a friend in a week and a half.  So I picked up this for the baby shower gift :)

Soooo......sitting here with my window open and I hear "THIS IS THE BREMERTON POLICE" but it's a distance away, obviously being spoken through a mega-phone. "COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. WE KNOW THERE IS A CHILD IN THERE AND DO NOT WANT TO ENDANGER THE CHILD. I REPEAT, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP." Kids run out and look down the street. "There is 12 cop cars down there, undercover cops.... it's a drug bust!" Lovely neighborhood we live in.....   and I don't think it was an April Fools Joke. 

Kids played with the sidewalk chalk.  We had to get more because some of the neighborhood kids swiped our collection we had outside.  So now we have a collection that comes inside.

5 week old Pup's got a bath.

Handsome little man!!

Love this.......

We were going to make April Fool's Food this year, had a plan ... but just didn't get the chance to do it..... oye.  Oh well.  :/
