St. Patrick's Day and House Guest

Johnny and I had the pleasure to have a house full with Johnny's mom Marletta, Mitch's wife Haley, and their two sons Auston and Layne.

The night before St. Patrick's Day we made sure that the leprechaun made a visit for the boys.
 Aidan and I picked out these fun hats for us all to wear.
Before bedtime our St. Patrick's Day Party involved the Wii Dance Dance Game...super fun!
 Once the little ones were in bed, Haley and I were able to enjoy our one Green Beer before bedtime.
 The boys enjoyed playing outside with the dogs shooting the trees with their sticks.
 I think we were having so much fun, the bunnies stayed in the other yards, but we got to check them out from a distance.
 I had so much fun having these little guys in our house!
Their young, carefree, energetic, spontaneous, and imaginative minds made an exciting week.

Recap...

I cannot believe how these last few weeks have flown by!
 Here is a recap:

Mr. Kellen Dean Thompson got Baptised.
Fred is starting to feel better and his spots are starting to grow back fur.

Maybe a little too better....poor Tulip gets bullied by him.

One of my best friends Stephanie Gilchrist-Legary who i played club soccer with is due May 1st and i got to enjoy her baby shower.

Scout has grown twice in size and is now 3 months old

I am currently fighting bronchitis while preparing for our 5 guest to arrive this weekend and staying for the week. Mitch's wife Haley, his two son's Austin and Layne, Johnny and Mitch's mom Marletta, and Haley's brother...who i actually don't know his name. While preparing and prepping our house (little OCD on cleanliness) I never thought i would be able to live with hard water...UNTIL....i met IRON OUT and pumis...yes...i am in love. Isle 45 in Home Depot is my favorite isle. I hope next time you visit there....you will check it out. I think the angels sing while sunlight shines down on the entire isle. :)
Last but not least....
Dad, you will be so proud of Johnny...and will stop bugging him about when he will get it...here you go folks... my 1988 high powered hydrostatic drive, two bag, 12 horsepower, 32 inch cutting swath craftsman lawn mower...with lights that even turn on...in case i wanna mow the lawn once it's dark....I won't lie...as soon as we got home i took that baby around the whole house just cruising at the wopping speed of 5 mph with my smile ear to ear. I cannot wait to bust out the i-pod, shorts, and tank top to soak up that sun while making our lawn look beautiful.
Quick info on how we got it. Johnny found it on Craiglist list last night, e-mailed the guy with no response this morning...so i tried to e-mail him and couple hours later he called me saying first come first serve. Good thing i was off work early, i rushed to the bank, got the cash, hurried back to Graham where Mitch met me and took at look at the beast. Mitch noticed something wrong, so the guy asked us to come back within an hour. Johnny and i returned where he had it fixed and knocked the price down with a spare part....
SCORE!
