Easter

We had such a wonderful Easter. We really are blessed in so many ways, and thank God daily for it. We started out the morning from good ol' Mr. B, aka the Easter Bunny! He left a note for Cayleigh basically saying since he had to leave eggs out in her Grammy's yard, he decided to hide the basket so she had something to search for. She absolutely loved it and I think Mr. B is going to need to make it a tradition. She had 5 clues and at the end-it was in her bathtub!

Reading her note from Mr. B! Note he even nabbed a carrot from the fridge!

One of the places a clue was found!

She was so proud she found all of the clues, and the basket!

Some of the loot-she is obsessed with Chuggington, and can name every.single.train that has ever been on an episode. It may seem like she is spoiled with presents in place of candy. Well-she is spoiled. It's not intentional-it just happens. Second and most importantly-while it may seem costly-one look at the cost of dentistry will show you we are saving money in the long run.

This is what childhood is all about.

We got dressed and headed down to Grammy and Grandad's house to see if Mr. B had left eggs in the yard. Uhh-yes, to the tune of 103 eggs!!! ;)

Her Easter dress that was on all of 30 minutes :) It was a soggy day so we put on comfy clothes.

Getting ready to go huntin' eggs....did you know you can get your kid to smile really nice if you tell her she can't go get eggs until you see a nice smile?? I mean, I would never do that, but I hear it works.

Now that's a basket!

It was such a nice day, we decided to open up the Easter present from mommy and daddy-a t-ball set! She started out with help, but in no time shooed daddy away.

The rain washed away her outdoor fun so it was time for Easter egg dying.

Is Easter egg dying any fun without a spill?

A rare sighting of Mommy and Daddy sans the kid...

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
