These are the pictures I posted on Facebook last nite, here they are for grandma and grandpa who don't have Facebook yet! Give it time! They will! They were taken yesterday on a 54 degree day. I was freezing, but the kids were comfortable! I know some of you will have a heart attack about Jordyn not having a helmet, well, we only have one and there was no stopping her! She is a real go getter. 'Extrovert' is an understatement. Just wait til summer and you will all see! Ryder was ready to go inside after less than ten minutes. He waved, said bye and headed towards the door. My kind of guy! I hate being outside until it's at least 65 and in the afternoon when the sun is right above our house. I probably won't be blogging much in the next week! I know, sad! Isn't it? But I have so much to do before San Antonio, not to mention state basketball. My head is SPINNING! I'm a procrastinator. Ya deal with it!

Today was the last straw with the TV! I always have PBS kids on in the background and yes, it has taught my kids a lot.. But when I called for Jordyn and Ryleigh and neither of them even looked. I went in there, shut it off and told them to go downstairs, read a book, be creative! They of course moaned and groaned at me but now they're down there dancing to Taylor Swift, I can't complain.

Today is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mommy!! :) Wish I could be there with you, and we could go to Paradiso and I'd make you wear the big sweaty sombrero!! I lived in GF for 23 years and never got that stupid hat. I threatened people each time. Even the servers at some point! I'm not one for public humiliation. Though, once they did sing to me at Applebee's and they sang the 'nicer' version of their song. Not the one that just sings about you being old. So, that was nice. If I could have Paradiso right now. I would do just about anything.. My mouth waters for the chips and salsa and the big ass burritos with dry fried rice and a side of sour cream (that costs extra). It just screams GRAND FORKS. Mi Mexico can pack and leave, there's just no room for it with Paradiso and Mexican Village. My dream day. Would be lunch at Paradiso and dinner at China Garden. I would do that every day if I could. Mmmmmmmmmmm *drool*!

Time to go clean the mess Bryan made in the kitchen. He made a broccoli soup for his coworkers (they take turns) and it is just yum! My most valuable appliance is my fridge, it beeps if open too long which means Ryder is in there being naughty. He is always naughty. In fact..I will say, 'Ryder, are you being naughty?' and he'll say 'naughty!' he knows!!
