OK so I am not doing that well on my Blog! We have been plenty busy with my mom here. We have had so much fun with Gma Darla here:) The kids have gotten to spend the nite with her and spend some one on one time with her too. She has even had lunch with Mia at school which includes a McDonalds happy meal with COKE! They both think thats funny since mom and dad don't allow her to have that! Oh the things that gmas get away with:) We also found out this week that little sister Kristin is having a baby girl, yes what else in this family:) She is due September, and yes what else is new since all the kids have September birthdays! yikes 5 kids bdays in one month, that's alot of parties:) I do ask for lots of prayers for Kristin as she is so tiny and young to have this baby! Well we are all excited for the weekend, we all, as in Angela and her family, and Auntie Megan, my mom and Ryan, the kids and I are going to the cities for a weekend away! The weekend will include shopping, eating of course, swimming at the hotel, and a few Twins games! I can't wait for a weekend away! So until next time....Have a great rest of the week:)

Oh I almost forgot to tell you that Dylan lost his 1st tooth last week! He looks so cute without that tooth and he got $5 from the tooth fairy:) I know, makes you wanna pull out your teeth and bring them over doesn't it? I put up a picture so you could all see!

Well Happy Easter to all! Hope you had a great Easter and remembered the real reason for the day! Little Dylan will let you know why we have Easter and it is so cute:) We started the weekend with an egg hunt and gma and gpa's house, and BIG, full easter baskets for the kids. They loved it and you would have thought this was the first easter that we had ever had! They both get so excited about holidays it just makes everyone smile:) Mia kept on telling gma Brenda that she was the best and she got the best gifts from her! Mia got a new easter dress for her Mia doll, and some p.j's for her too! She also got a BIG pile of new summer clothes that will come in very handy this summer since she has gotten so big this school year.
Dylan will keep dad busy with all the new Lego sets he got in his easter baskets. He could sit there for hours and put them together with the help of dad. He also got a BIG stack of summer clothes and a new pair of swim trunks:) He can't wait to get to the lake and use them along with new goggles and water shoes:) Dylan of course found the most eggs in all the hunts we had! He is so quick and can spot them so fast:)
I enjoyed the time with family and friends:) We are so lucky to have our family close to us and able to see all of them during the holidays. We spent saturday nite with the Sweeney's being gma & gpa, great gma pat and great aunt Sue. Things are so simple and quiet but the kids and Carly keep things interesting:) When we got home we tried to get the kids to bed, but that was a chore! They were both so excited for morning that they got up about 6 times thru the nite and morning came so early, i think they got up at 5:30am or 6am?! Anywas it was way to early! Well we did the whole bunny thing at home and then went to church. After that we went to my gma & gpa's house for lunch and yes another egg hunt:) My mom came home from Georgia for easter and to spend the next 3 weeks here! Things are pretty loud and crazy at the Morlan house! No dull moments or quiet time for anyone, including baby Reese who i think just needed a nap! When we got home we spent a little time together as a family! It was so nice to be together just the 4 of us:) We went on a walk and yes we took Carly, spent some time playing baseball in the front yard and figured out our new toys from the easter bunny! We all had a GREAT day and a wonderful EASTER! Now bring on the summer weather:):)

Ok well here we go...We are the Sweeneys:) I really don't think that we are that interesting but we do have some funny things that happen, I mean we do have kids:) Mia is 6 and 1/2 and she will let you know. Sometimes she acts like she is 16, and is that scary. She is in kindergarten this year and ready for 1st grade. She does really well in school and has lots of friends. Mia keeps busy with phone calls, church on wednesdays, dance on thursdays, and working at Raphaels on saturdays. Yes I said work, she loves to be at work with mom and dad at the bakery. Mia loves to visit with customers and bring donuts around for them, most of the time she leaves work with a few bucks:)
Dylan is 5 and 1/2 and is growing up way to fast. He is such a funny little guy! He usually makes us laugh at something he says or does:) Dylan goes to preschool 3 days a week and is gearing up for kindergarten next year. I think he will love being at the same school as his sister. Dylan keeps himself busy with our dog Carly. She just turned 1 last week and Dylan insisted we have a birthday party for her. He invited gma & gpa, Angela and her kids, and Kristin over for the party. Dylan loved the party. He also has church on wednesdays and plays with other kids at the dance studio while we wait for Mia. Dylan gets to come to work a few days during the week and when he feels like it he works otherwise he just plays:) He is very good there and keeps himself entertained with the help of gma Brenda.
Ryan is a great husband and a wonderful father! He works 6 days a week at the bakery and really seems to enjoy it. He usually goes in to work at about 2:30 am, and unlike me gets up without any problem:) He is at work until about 11am or noon everyday and then takes Dylan home with him. They usually spend some good time together of Dylan takes a nap and dad gets his own time. Now that baseball has started I know that will take up most of his time at home:)
And me Maria, the mom and wife! I work at the bakery with the rest of the family, and am very lucky to only have to work 4 days a week. It gives me a little time with Dylan and I do love to help in Mias class. It also gives me some good mom time and I can get a few things done without kids:) I am really waiting for the weather to get nice so we can be outside more and enjoy time with the neighbors and take our nightly walks! I am also looking forward to spending time at the Sweeney family cabin!
Well now that you know alittle about us I hope to keep this page updated and interesting!
