Catfish Kettle and Easter Weekend










I constantly find myself feeling so blessed for all that I have in my life. Most importantly all of the people, really. With that being said, I'll tell you about my weekend...really great, but went by way too fast!

So Jason's grandma and great grandma came from IL to visit all of us for a short trip on Friday. Jason was off of work because it was Good Friday and I was off because a very nice man at work decided to take my shift for me so I could participate in all of the activities on Friday. So Friday morning Kelly, Hannah and I went shopping until late afternoon and we got back around 4:00pm. We were planning on a trip to Catfish Kettle, so very shortly after, Jason and I headed down to Catfish Kettle. For those who do not know what restaurant I'm talking about, it's in Farmington. If you get the family deal, it's worth it. You get unlimited catfish, shrimp and chicken along with all of the sides (potato wedges, baked beans, cole slaw and hushpuppies) for $10.99. Anyone who knows me fairly well knows that "unlimited food" is always a plus in my book.

After we went to CK, we headed back to Kelly and John's house and just hung out for a little while. It was Hannah's birthday that night as well, so Jason and I let her open her gifts. She has this little Barbie kitchen set, but she didn't have any pots and pans for it. So, Jason and I went to Toys R Us and picked out a little set for her. We also got her a pan that had fake food in it. She loved it! After that, I went home and had to work on Saturday.

Sunday morning I woke up around 7 and got ready for church. Jason and I went to the Sunday school portion of his church and I got a few pictures of him and his little sister, which were adorable. We left about 10:30 because we had to be back up here in Arnold for an egg hunt with my side of the family. Glen came with Daniel about the time we left to come up here. So, we all had a nice Easter lunch (thanks to my mom) and then my dad, Travis and Glen hid the eggs for the boys downstairs since we had such lovely weather outside. Poor Travi has been sick for over a week, too. The boys hunted eggs and then we just all hung out for the remainder of the day before I had to go to work. Jason and my dad got to talk computers for a little while, which I think they both enjoyed. I was really glad that I got to spend some time with my dad on Easter. He got home Saturday evening and had to leave Sunday evening. It was a short trip, but at least I got to see him.

Now it's just back to the same ol' everyday with school and work. This weekend is an IL weekend and we're planning to do a birthday party for Jasmine...she'll be 6. I'm sure I'll have pictures posted this weekend from that. For now, I'll leave you all with the pictures from yesterday. Enjoy!
