Grandma's Visit

My mom flew in to Birmingham to spend a weekend with the boys and me. Here is the boys reaction when she got off the plane.






We had been planning on seeing Thomas the Train in Calera, AL since January. On Friday we drove up to Alabama and picked Grandma up at the air port in horrible storms. Turns out the storms were so horrible they destroyed the tents and activities at Thomas the Train and the event for Sat and Sun got CANCELLED!!! I think this was a way bigger disappointment for me than anyone else. It was cold and dreary on Sat AND we weren't going to see Thomas the Train !?! We ended up going to the Birmingham zoo with our friends the Tuckers and ended up having a great time. I posted several pictures from the weekend and this past week in the 2008_April album on the NEW Saucer Family website. A special thanks to Nathan and Chalane for letting us stay with them and hosting our weekend with Grandma. We had a great time!!!

Plumbing Plunders

Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...
