Birthday week and Easter! (Not in that order)

Interesting tidbit of information:  If we hadn't had a leap day, my birthday would have been ON Easter this year. 
That wasn't the case though. Sunday was Easter and my birthday was the next day, Monday.
Here are Zach and I after church.  The sun was making it extremely difficult to take pictures.
 Mama and I.  Not sure where everyone else was!
 My little Easter Beagle! 
Easter afternoon, we went to Zach's parents.  We had another big meal and went fishing.  We also celebrated my birthday and Zach's sister and brother-in-law's birthdays.  Both of their birthdays are the day after mine!  I told you April is a big month for us!


 My 23rd birthday.  What a doozie!  I feel like I'm dangerously close to the category of "mid-twenties."  Here was my "present," which in actuality was an empty bag with a note from Zach.  It had clues to find my present, which he had hidden in the grill he got for Easter.  (It was brand new and not dirty, in case you are wondering.)  One of my presents was my new Elliptical trainer! The one that was hidden were my hot pink, studded high heels!  I will definitely get a picture of me in them.  I love them because they make me close to 6 feet tall! hehe
 Zach also made me a Reese's dessert and had it ready for me when I came home from school.  He made everything of my day so sweet!
 My birthday night, I went to our friend, Theresa's for my birthday supper.  She made me a chocolate cake and she, Ben, Becca, and Claire all sang to me!  It was so sweet and was another way to make me feel so very special!

Here is the day after my birthday at Mama Joyce's.  Mama, Daddy, Ross, Sarah, Zach, Mama Joyce, and I "fondued" steak.  I coined the term fondued, by the way!  It was so yummy and we hadn't done it in a long time.  It was Zach's first time every to do fondue!  Anyway, here are my new pink shorts from American Eagle, which are a size smaller than I have ever gotten!  Yay!  It was exciting to see that!
Other presents that aren't pictured are my Vera Bradley purse in Twirly Birds Pink, my Tervis Tumbler from Ross and Sarah, my new blender from Suzanne, Chick-fil-a gift card, curling iron, and I think that was it.  I love stretching out my birthday as much as possible!

My stinking camera battery was dead, so I only have my pictures from my iPod touch, but Zach's mom and my mom have pictures that I can hopefully get from them.

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
