So so BUSY!

How cute is that little naked cowboy butt?!
Snuggling my "BFF" as Ryan refers to Lola and my relationship as of late!
A sweet moment between Mother and Daughter - she absolutely adores mommy these days (as do I with her)!  It's so endearing!
Lola was so busy at the grocery store stacking cans (and no, it's nearly impossible to keep her in the cart so we shop at Lola speed....makes for an interesting shopping excursion)!
Mother's Day 2011: Out of about 10 pictures, this is the absolute best one...go figure.
The "Mohr" girls on Mother's Day
Nana and the grandkids on Mother's Day

Let's get this straight - this is nobody that I know.  I stole the picture off of the KCLD web site of pictures they took from the 35th annual Easter egg hunt.  I had the GRAND idea that we should take the kids to this Easter egg hunt at Riverside Park in St Cloud.  Oh good Lord, apparently only the classiest people show up for these events.  I have never been around more swearing and smoking in my life....and here's a picture of a grandfather holding his toddler granddaughter with none other than a cigarette hanging out of his hand.  CLAAAASSSY!  Oh, and KCLD pop music blaring in the background?!  Not really my idea of a family friendly Easter event!  Next year we'll try the Rockville hunt...
Teague didn't like all the kids running and hollering about the eggs, so here I am trying to coax him into getting some....
Lola's waiting her turn for the egg hunt to start!
Lola's pretty good at that egg hunting thing!
Here the kids are waiting to see the Easter bunny before the egg hunt.  I think this is so funny because Teague is ever so cautiously looking over his shoulder at that creepy looking bunny and Lola has no idea but to be happy!
Surprisingly, no tears!
I guess this is the face you make when your mom tells you to smile and show your teeth?!
Sweet little girl swinging at the park...
Swinging at the park (notice Teague's old man shoes with socks?!)
Teague with his arm around "my best buddy Chase"!
Ryan with his special birthday cake.  Teague insisted that Ryan would want a DQ ice cream cake (I have no idea where he got that idea because we've never had one); so when we got to the DQ to order it, naturally Daddy would want the $30 Spiderman cake, right?!  I mean who am I to say no to that?!
Ryan being a "horsey" - another fun game!
This is the "fun" thing to do lately - go out in the garage, carrying our winter coat and boots and run around naked.  It happened one night while I was putting stuff away and now it's apparently the best thing ever!
Here are my cuties after the Easter Egg hunt!
Teague giving Lola a little push on the swing (he wasn't actually that helpful as he didn't get out of the way on her back swing)
Lola even got it!!
Teague loved Eater egg hunting...

The last bit of actual news is that I voluntarily took a cut at work to be placed at 80% time.  I will be working 4 days a week next year.  I took a pay cut (and other departments at work didn't have to have that amount cut from their department) so that I could spend more quality time with my kids.  My kids are growing fast and this seemed like the best happy medium for me as many of you know I was contemplating whether to stay or to move on.  Hopefully this works well for all and things will start to look up!
