Getting ready for summer

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted a new blog! I guess I have not really had anything exciting to write about and finals kept me usy for a few weeks, but I am done for a few weeks until summer classes start. Steve and I are FINALLY over this crud we had for over a month. I never had it as bad as Steve but still had it enough to kick my butt! Now that we are feeling better we have been hitting the gym everynight for about an hour and 15 minutes. We joined a new gym in January but it was being built and after several weather delays finally opened two weeks ago, its a very nice gym, not crowded, staff is super friendly adn best of all its only 10 dollars a month, if you havent checked out Fitness 19 you should.

On the last blog I was wishing Steve a happy birthday, though we didn't do anything super special for his birthday the daycare kids and I made him an Icecream cake and I made his favorite Steak for dinner that evening. The kids had a blast helping me but it was deffinatly a learning experiance!



It was not a perfect cake by any means but it sure was tasty!! I took vanilla icecream and layered the bottom, then mixed smashed oreos with chocolate syrup and layered on top of the icecream, next lay down a layer of chocolate fudge and top with another layer of vanilla icecream. Top of with your favorite frosting and let freeze for 4 hours. And then... ENJOY!!



But not before you eat your dinner!!!



We elebrated Mothers Day with my Parents, Sister, niece and nephew by eating brunch at Cracker Barrell. My Grandpa always loved to take my mom there for Mothers Day so we couldn't think of a better place to go. Some of you may not know but for my parents 27th wedding anniversary they decided to purchase each other a little gift. Though my mom gets all the use out of it my dad is having the time of his life riding everynight with my mom. He had purchased a brand new Road King in 2009 and when he retired in September he finally had the time to ride it. SO I would like to introduce the newest member of our family!!


Yep folks thats right, my mother now has her very own brand new Harley Trike to ride with my father! So back to Mothers Day, since my Mom has this new bike she loves so much it was only logical for us to get her accesories for her bike for Mothers day! Here are some pictures of her opening the Mud Flaps all of her kids got her. We also got her a trunk organizer but it wont be here until the end of May, but the Bike Fairy wrote her a letter explaining his bike broke down and he couldnt get it here on time. But as a fellow Harley rider he was sure she understood!





Steve and I have also been watching American Idol, we have done this for several years now and never miss an episode. This year was a little different though! Steve and I had our top three picked from the very begining, we though it would be Casey, Chrystal and Shiaban. At the very begining we could not stand Lee, he had not been profiled as much and we just didn't get his voice. However as time has gone by SHioban began to get on our nerves and Lee quickly grew on us. Every other year we have watched we knew who we liked and didn't like and we never waivered from that. This year we were wrong and after lasts nights performace we both agree Lee is the man to beat. Though we both still love Casey and Chrystal we have to admit that its Caseys time to go, its going to be a show down between Lee and Chrystal! In case you don't watch you should go to Youtube and look for Lee DeWyze Simple Man and Hallelujah. Both were beautiful!

Steve and I are taking it easy this weekend other than hitting the gym and I am going to church with my momma on Sunday. We will be going to the river for the first time on Memorial weekend and the following weekend we will be visiting Steve's family in Topeka. It has been way to long sence we made it up there and we are both very excited about going. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, it is supposed to be Warm and SUnny in Springfield!
