Photos from the Birthday Party
The party theme was "Bees". I had to make all of the decorations. No one sells a bee theme.
The bee in the photo is the Pillow Pet Cori wanted for her birthday. Of course, she wanted the bee!
Cori and her Moon Sand.
I had to buy black and yellow paper plates to make some bee cupcake holders. All in all i was pretty happy with my bee decorations. I made hives out of inverted clay flower pots.
The kids made paper bag puppets. I stole the idea of having a craft instead of a game from Kerry. I am not proud, i will steal ideas. Especially when they are good ones!

The Camera is broken
I think we have to say it is official. The camera is broken. I was handing it to Cori so she could take a picture and it fell to the ground and hit with a loud "CRACK". I am going to try to download some of the pics on the memory card, but, we will have to see how it goes.
We have baby rabbits in the back yard. Cori and i like to watch them from the patio doors. Shelby just sits and whines and wants out so she can chase them. Whenever Shelby does this, Cori will sternly tell Shelby to "Go lay down and leave those rabbits alone!" It is pretty comical. Especially since Shelby listens to her.

We Decided to Skip April
HA! Actually, i found that it was easier to post a few sentences on Facebook than post several paragraphs here. However, i am going to start cross posting any information that pertains to Cori.
Mother's Day: Went with my family, my Sister's family, my Brother's family and my Mom and Dad to El Sombrero for lunch. This is my Mom's favorite restaurant and so we take her there every Mother's Day. Cori gave me a beautiful beaded bracelet that she made at preschool. It is now the most precious piece of jewelry that i own. :)
May 7: Nearly got myself a brand new 12 point hood ornament for the truck last night. Glad to know the brakes on the truck work well!
May 5: Cori is allergic to egg and milk! Oh yes, egg and milk. You would be surprised at the number of foods that have egg and milk in them. You would be surprised at how many of those foods are Cori's favorites. These two allergies have caused most of Cori's medical issues these last two years. The bumps on her arms, the mystery rashes that appear out of no where and disappear with the same mystery. The persistent coughing without any other symptoms. The hoarse voice that she sometimes gets. All from these food allergies. Makes me angry that it took 2 years to finally test her, makes me happy that we now know the problem. She sees an allergist in one week.

What a difference a month makes!!
I can't get over the difference a month makes in the weather! I have posted some pictures here that were taken exactly one month apart. We go from over a foot of snow and 3 foot snow drifts to fun in the sun!
In the snow pictures, Adam had to shovel out a path in the snow so that Cori could enjoy playing in it. The drifts were so high that the poor girl couldn't walk in the snow! The next pictures (sunny) were taken a month later. Cori is playing on her new play place after Adam put it together. We were so fortunate that Cori's preschool GAVE it to us. Oh to be the teacher's pet!
A year ago, we were excited to have a tiny little slide for Cori to play on. Now, she has grown so much that she is climbing and jumping like a monkey and needed a playset that was more challenging. She is growing so fast!!

A blog about me
This post will be all about Mommy, er, i mean Bridget. Identity crisis there for a second! I quit smoking. YAY me! Three weeks now. It is exciting. I just wish Adam would quit with me. I have been trying to figure out how to approach getting him to quit. I thought about giving him crap that a girl could so something he couldn't but i don't want to make him mad either.
i am going to lose 100 pounds. Ohh ho ho you say, A HUNDRED pounds??!! Yep. I have a game plan in place and right now the hardest part will be finding the time to walk. I can't take Cori with me, she is too distracting. I need total concentration to get through the physical activity part of this project. I have to get Adam on board with this as well. The pantry around here is going to be bare of bad for you snacks. I will be cooking ground turkey, fish and chicken. There will be brown rice and wheat pasta. Sugary snacks will be replaced with healthy ones. I don't want any crying whining or complaining.
Call it a midlife crisis, call it an awakening, call it whatever you want but i am getting myself and this family on track for health and happiness. Period, end of discussion.
