Skinny Alcohol Free Margaritas

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we had chips and salsa along with skinny alcohol free margaritas at work.  They were delish!  I actually had a coworker the next day say that the ones I made for work were better than the real deal one she had at dinner at a Mexican restaurant.  Here's the skinny....

2 liter bottle of Sprite Zero
1 package of Crystal Light Lemonade
1/2 bottle of Key West Lime Juice

Blend together with ice or not..your choice.  I also added a rim of salt AND sugar to the glasses.  It was wonderful!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Peyton and Hayden

Peyton's best little friend from school came over to spend the night and have a last hoo ra ra before moving to Columbia.  We will miss the Hayden stories and the get togethers.  I think they stayed up until 12:30 or so and were back up again at 6:30.  Couldn't tell they were lacking any sleep from these pictures though!

We'll have to do it again Hayden....soon!

The Royal Wedding

Ahhhh....Prince William and Princess Kate..what a lovely couple huh?  A few of us from work came together at 5:15 am to watch the royal wedding.  We printed off programs and celebrated with a breakfast casserole, scones, fruit, ham biscuits, and lots of coffee!  It was so neat viewing the dress and hat choices and we had the most fun sporting our own hats!
The wedding was so beautiful and very romantic.  I loved the way Prince William looked at Katherine once she met up with him at the alter.  He told her that she looked beautiful and boy did she!  Understated elegance.... 
Meanwhile, at home, Makenna is setting in her daddy's lap watching the princess in her "big dress" get married and she looked over to my wedding portrait and made the comment that mommy was in her "princess dress too!".  That little girl is so sweet!

Easter 2011


Coloring Easter Eggs

Peyton, Makenna and I had a fabulous time coloring eggs....even if Makenna wanted to color ALL the eggs yellow (her favorite color)!  They were not too thrilled that after we were all done making them pretty, I tore into them to devil them for Easter lunch!  That was pretty mean huh?

Bahamas Cruise

Brian and I decided for our 10th wedding anniversary (not really until June) we would take a cruise to the Bahamas.  It was a wonderful trip and will definitely do it again...soon I hope!  I've got to figure out a way to get more vacation time!  Here are some highlights....
