"My House is a Wreck!"

Hi! I am Elizabeth. Things have been happening pretty fast in my life! I
just married Mr. Right, became a stepmother to two fabulous kiddos, and had a
new baby- all in the last year and a half! Add a couple of moves and my 36th
birthday in there and you will understand why I am feeling the need to record
this crazy stage of our lives! At least now I can come back and read about it
someday- I know I won't remember! Oh, and keep in mind that I while I am posting
the good memories and high points of our daily life- my house really is a wreck!

Let's get this party started...

YooHoo!  Just checking in to let you know that it's SPRING BREAK!  We have been so busy that I haven't gotten my camera out much.  On Friday night Pax had a pitching lesson, so Saturday morning we headed to the FEMA Dreama for the first time since fall!  We made it there in time for breakfast with the family on the porch- delish!  It was kind of chilly up there.  We had had a few days hovering around 80*, but Saturday was overcast and cool.  The kids played wiffle ball while I tried to rig up very sophisticated window treatments out of beach towels for the camper.  We spent the night and loaded up on Sunday morning to head on home.  Sunday night we cooked a little at the house...
Sydney helped me make a Key Lime Pie!  Normally I do not squeeze the juice myself, but WalMart didn't have Key Lime juice in a bottle, and I wasn't up for an extra stop at another store.  After squeezing those little suckers I realized I should have run in Hay's to get the bottled stuff!
Don wanted me to take a pic of the table.  I hadn't even put out the silverware yet, but you get the idea...Shrimp Boil.  We boil the shrimp outside on the burner on our grill.  No smell.  But, John Stephen wanted to go see what Daddy was doing! 
After dinner the kids collasped on the couch.  It is rare to see John Stephen relaxin' like this.  And Sydney doesn't suck her thumb- not sure what she's doing...
  I
Fun Weekend!
In other news...

Diet Coke has now replaced Pepsi as the number 2 soft drink in America (or something like that)! 

Here I am enjoying a DC while John Stephen simultaniously empties my potato bin and the drawer of bakeware in my kitchen!  This is not an uncommon early morning activity for us...

I'll check back in soon we have some fun things planned for the rest of the week.  Hope you are having a fun Spring Break wherever you are!
