On Wed. night us ladies from the Pastor's College got together
for a recipe exchange. Oh my, what a spread of food we had!!
I forgot my camera that night so I have no pictures. We had so
much fun! We were all to bring one of our favorite family recipes
and then cook and bring the dish for all to taste. It was so fun
to see what others made and tasting it all was even better. We
had a big variety, from mocha punch to kickin' Texas salsa to
cornbread dressing to southern beans with wilted spinach. My
favorite of the night was a curried chicken salad. So yummy. It
is fun to have a new pile of recipes to pull from.

On the Court
Aaron's new absolute favorite place to be is on the
basketball court. He'll stand right under the net
holding the ball and say, "ball, ball, ball..." over
and over again. When the whole family was in there
was a big game and Aaron insisted on being a part of it.

911
Last evening the phone rang and it was the Montgomery
County Police Dept. She told me that this call was being
recorded and asked me if there was an emergency in our home.
Very confused, I told her there was not and she said that
someone was calling 911 repeatedly from this number. I
immediately knew that it was Aaron. He can reach our phone
in our bedroom and is always playing with it. I ran upstairs
and sure enough there he was, dialing away! I was very
apologetic and told her that it was my son and she kind of
chuckled and said, "Ok, that is why he kept hanging up and
calling back." I was sure glad that she got a laugh out of
it! Little stinker.

Catching up
The blog has been a little slow here lately. We have
been very busy with some Easter activities for school
and then we hosted almost all of Steve's family here.
All 3 of his brothers and their families, his mom and
his sister were here. We had a great week together.
Lots of fun, but me and the kiddos are all very tired!!
I will spend the next few days catching up when I have
time. The following shots are from Easter Sunday.
My girlies
My attempt at a cute shot of the kids was not very successful
A decent shot except for the teddy bear in Aaron's mouth
Another bad one
All of us Heitlands minus Steve's mom. She was taking the
picture and unfortunately we never did get one of all of us!

Happy Birthday, Steve!
This past Monday was Steve's 34th birthday! We celebrated by going
out for supper with some friends, Ben and Kelly Ross. They are from
the Sovereign Grace church in Reading, so technically are our
"neighbors"! We had a great evening together. We went to a place
called the Mongolian BBQ. You get all of your food from a raw bar
and then pick your sauces/spices and the chefs cook for you. We all
chowed, definitely got our fill.
Happy Birthday, Steve. Love you much!

that cheezy, he was posin'.

Salvaged!
Anyone who has the same tightwad blood as me knows what a thrill
it is to find a good deal. Something interesting about the neighbor-
hood that we are in is that people put really nice things out with
their garbage. A few months back my friend was here and she got
some big "Little Tykes" items that were in great condition from the
neighbor's trash.
So this morning the kids and I were walking to the neighbors and
saw a really nice table and chairs sitting on the curb. Shortly
after, the garbage man was coming and I asked him if he would save it
for me. He was excited and said, "Yeah, people are always putting
nice things out with their garbage! Last month I got a 47" big
screen TV that works just great. I have it in my bedroom!" When we
were done at the neighbors the girls and I began to drag the chairs
home. The table was a bit heavy... as I was awkwardly trying to
get it to our house, a painter that was outside came and offered his
help. He only spoke Spanish so I got to use a little of what Spanish
I knew to communicate with him.
All in all it was quite the thrill. A little spray paint and some
new cushions will make this set a beauty. Though I have no idea what
I am going to actually do with it!!
The girls with our find. I see that one chair is missing
a few rungs...hmmm...
