What's in a Name???

Well, after careful consideration, we renamed our poocheroo Lexi Girl Stephens. Emmie was a close fit but not quite right. As soon as Lexi came out of my mouth - we knew that it was the right name for our sweet little girl! What a little lovie!!!

Meet The Newest Member of the Stephens Family!

Emmie Girl Stephens - the sweetest little puppy ever - is the newest member of our family!

I have a sneaking suspicion that she might end up being a little spoiled!

And We Were Dancin' and Singin' ...

... and movin' to the groovin'!!!! Could you feel it??? There was some shakin' going on here and even a few toe touches here and there just to mix things up!

MADISON HAS COMPLETED HER 42 PAGE REPORT ON THE STATE OF WISCONSIN!!!!!

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! If I was able to walk (toe touches probably weren't the best idea on my part) - I would be running thru the neighborhood shouting with joy!!!!!!!!!

STOP BUGGING ME!!!

OK - you aren't really bugging me - THESE CAKES ARE!!!

For Easter, the kids received this cake pan along with a bunch of other baking treats from their Grandpa Mark and Grandma Vicki. Fired up doesn't even come close to describing how excited I was! I have been waiting patiently for this day to come so I could put this pan to use!

Madison and I make 18 bugs for all of the kids to decorate at the Easter party we are going to tomorrow! I can hardly wait!!!
