Randomness & Such...

Well, Tulip time is over, what ever will I do with all my free time?!

It was fun to partake in the fun this year I haven't done anything with Tulip time in a long time...and I'm really glad I decided to dance this year and plan to do it again in the future!

The Thursday of Tulip Time week, I got together with my friends Kelly (and baby K), Alyson, Jeanne (and baby P), and Jeanne's daughter, Livvy. A fun time was had by all! Livvy had never seen dutch dancers and I think she had fun taking it all in and even came to join our group out on the street at the end of our dance!! Of course we had to pose by the tulips - its practically mandatory!



...and what Tulip Time spectator wouldn't take advantage of the cutout dutch people - its a no brainer photo op!! The funny thing is - I have a picture from over 10 years ago of Jeanne and me posing by the same cutouts, I'll have to scan it and upload it - too funny!

Last weekend was, of course Mother's Day, and my first one! Owen's gift to me was sleeping in until 9:00 am!!! WOW, it was a welcomed gift, let me tell you! Owen also got me a really pretty orange flower (the name is escaping me at the moment)- and he had one of my all time fave pics of him and I blown up and put it in a nice frame - what a thoughtful little man! :)

To celebrate the day, we had my mom and brothers over for a cookout lunch of brats and hamburgers. It was kinda cold to sit outside, so we played Wii indoors!! Here are the uncles with Mr. O....

Later on in the afternoon, we headed over to Scott's parent's house to celebrate with his fam. It was a fun get together, with Gma VI, Gma & Gpa Kole, mom & dad Kole, Jen, Paul, Kenz, Dylan, Scott, Owen, me, and my mom too! The boys all cooked and cleaned up afterwards so us moms could relax. Yummy food and fun times! :)

What a fun and relaxing weekend!

This week seems to have flown by - Scott went out of town on Wed and Owen and I had a fun time together!! Yesterday, I had the day off so I spent some time garage saling and couponing and then met Kelly for lunch and girl time! It was nice to have a day to just do whatever!

Well that's about it - I'm all blogged out for now!

Bonus picture time...
