WOW!!

So here is our new niece and Andrew's new cousin. Mattilyn Elizabeth Zils. She was born April 21, 2009 at 9:04 p.m. She weighed 8lbs 5oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is so cute. Matt & Michele are going to make great parents.

Here is one of weekend projects that we did a couple of weekends ago. I don't have a before picture. We took down the old post and added new ones and then a railing. It really makes the front look much better.

Easter Weekend!!

Wow what a busy weekend. Saturday we got up early and made the trip down to my parents house to spend some time with them. My brother William and his wife and kids were there. Then one of my aunts showed up also. It was so good to get to see everyone.

Then we came home and I went over to Carl & Judy's to get Flash. Came home sat for a little while and made my grocery list.

So Sunday we get up I make breakfast and then we get ready for the Easter lunch at Carl & Judy's. So we are leaving the house and there is this car that is behind us and he is right one our butt. So we turn out off of 44th onto Davidson, right there under the bridges and the guy is still riding our butt. So Steven decides to get on it well as he does there is a Cop sitting there on one of the exit ramps from 71/I29. So next thing we hear is sirens. So we get pulled over and he runs everything. He comes back and he is like I really debated whether or not to give you a ticket. He told us the three things that he could get Steven on but he said that since he had a good driving record he wasn't going to. Then he asked how long we have had the car. Which we have had it for 6 months. So he said since Steven had gotten one in the six months since we have had it that he wasn't going to be the first one to give him a ticket. Which for those of you who don't know. Steven has an '06 Pontiac GTO. So I really think that GOD was watching out for us on that day!!

We had such a good weekend. Here are some pictures from over the weekend.

This is Bayleigh, Timothy, and Andrew.

Like a box??

So Andrew titled this post.

Well what weather we have been having!!! I wish it would just warm up and stay warm. I am so sick of it being nice and then getting cold again.

Saturday morning spent some time with Michele at her house, while Steven helped Matt work on the camaro. Then Saturday afternoon we went to Sadie's birthday party. We had a really good time. I can't believe that she is 3!! Dawson is the cutest. Sadie is a really good big sister. I would have pictures but my camera was dead.

Sunday we really didn't do much due to the weather just sat at home and watched the Race. Andrew and I went over and visited Mema & Papa for a little while.

Easter is fast approaching!! I am looking forward to spending time with family!! Saturday we will be going down to my parents to spend the day with them. Then Sunday we will be at Carl & Judy's house.

Something I learned over the weekend is that my dad quit smoking last Sunday!!!!! I just want to say that I have asked him several times to stop if not for himself but for his children and grandchildren. So I pray that he can fully quit this time. He tried to quit back in like '98 I think. Which was when we first moved here to Missouri. Due to stress and other things he started up again. I am just glad to hear that he is quiting. He is on the patch. So please pray that this works for him!!! I don't remember my dad's father due to the fact that he died from lung cancer when I was like 2 or 3. So I am so thankful that this is happening, so that when Andrew gets older he can look back and remember is PAPA!!!

Finally!!

Andrew with daddy's boots on.

Andrew and Flash!!

Ok so finally I am getting some pictures on here. They are going to be in no particular order and will be from '08-'09. Hope that you enjoy them. I really should be doing laundry but oh well!!! :) The picture of the eye is Andrew's eye and I LOVE that picture.

Pictures!!!

Ok, I promise that tomorrow I will get pictures on here. I don't have to work tomorrow so I will have all day to play around with getting pictures uploaded.

To all those people who have tried to call and get a busy signal. We will be getting Road Runner on April 10th. So now you will be able to get a hold of us. No more dial-up. I am so glad that we won't have to deal with dial-up anymore.
