How could we not celebrate the Royal Wedding--I am sure all of you who know me knew this was coming lol... I can still remember back when Princess Diana passed away and asking my mom to get me every issue of People or any other magazine that had the wedding on the front cover as people remembered her. I was obsessed even at age-- well I don't do math but a long time ago! I don't know who exactly I thought I was, but I remember telling people "I am going to have a train that long at my wedding" lol or "I think I shall get married in a cathedral like that" lol ummmm hello I don't think there's places that nice on our continent. Anyways this wedding has been on my calendar for months now and of course I had a TINY little celebration with some friends and my sister who wouldn't think I was an idiot ha. (we even had my sister's new sister in law, Sian, come who just moved here from ENGLAND 2 weeks ago!!!) So that's what we did--I recorded it and they all came over in the morning and we had tiny sandwiches, scones, clotted cream & jam, tea, desserts, and champagne to toast the happy couple lol. Now I have to mention here that my personal "Royal Chef" got up and made these tea sandwiches for me before he went to work--so thanks babe your the best, and to my mom for taking the boys so I could actually watch with no interruptions!!!! It was a lovely day!


Of course we toasted William & Katherine lol

Easter Day!

Easter started off with the boys finding their baskets from the Easter Bunny and playing with the goodies followed by heading to church (the early service--something we do not attempt ever lol) and then came back to our house for lunch with whatever family was in town. *Mark made an amazing menu!!! Of course the boys were spoiled with their baskets from GiGi, MiMi, and Great Grandma too! Then after some naps we went over to a family friend's house of The Smith's--which is always fun! They had dinner for 50 lol and it was amazing--they also had a egg hunt and a egg roll for the kids so that was fun! *Remember how I said Trey sucked it up at our churches Easter egg hunt lol well Aunt Sabriya and Aunt Shanel were NOT having that this time so I believe Trey won this egg hunt with LOTS of help from the aunties lol--I am not too sure the other little kids who were all older than Trey liked this, but that did not stop them, at one point I looked over and Shanel was around the corner hiding 5 eggs in her dress lol. It was a super nice Easter holiday!!!
