YIKES!!
Talk about neglect!

Soooooooo........what's been going on here........

Well, lets see.....

March brought Sammo's 9th Bday....my BABY....

This was the cupcake cake we brought to school. I'd bought a bag of army guys for him to put on top...TOTALLY forgetting the 'no guns in school' rule. Oooops. Guess the tank wasn't a good idea either. But COME ON! He's a 9 year old BOY.....He LOVES Army stuff!!!

Born on the VERY same day as Samuel was my God-Son Kayden.

I met up with him and his sweet Momma and my DEAR friend Tonya for a Birthday lunch:

We went for Mexican.

Mmmmmmmm......

Isn't he just the CUTEST!!!!!

Also in March was WinterFest:

Of COURSE Nikki went....

Heaven forbid she miss an event where she would get to dress up and get purrrty! :)

Here she is with her two BFF's....Brandi on the far left and Kyndra on the far right. That's Nikki in the blue and Bodie...the Sr. ALL the girls drooled over.... :)

He IS a cutie pie and WHAT a nice kid!!!!

April brought Nikki's birthday. No pics....actually I DO have a few pics somewhere. Brandi and Laz came over for a bit and we did a special 'cake' for her........i'll have to look for those pics!!

Then there was Prom.....

Poor guy. He was sick with a cold.....but still cute as ever!!! :)
