Happy Birthday Rod!

Since my last post we celebrated Easter and Rod's 33rd Birthday!

Easter was busy, of course! Saturday we had the Broerman Easter at Rod's aunt Pat & uncle Harry's house. They had an Easter Egg hunt for all the family kids and neighbors. Pat said she put out 650 eggs, but Paige only found 8! She seemed to enjoy it though. It was funny because she would put 1 in her basket and then go to pick up another one, but the one she already put in would fall out. Mommy had to help her out a little bit, which she didn't seem to want. Little Miss Independent likes to do thing for herself these days! Anyway, food was great I ate way too much, but I wouldn't expect anything less at a Broerman function.

Sunday, we went to my moms in Saunemin for lunch. My step-dad, Joe cooked Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill and we had a nice relaxing afternoon. Paige and Michelle had a little egg hunt in the house and Paige got 3 Easter Baskets full of clothes, toys, and candy. You would've thought it was Christmas she got so much stuff! Then we headed back to Pontiac, to Bernardi's for dinner with my dad and step-mom and some of Edie's family. It was nice to see everyone and the food was excellent as always!

The 17th was Rod's Birthday. He turned 33 and celebrated to the fullest with his cousin, Chris (who is home for a couple weeks before going back overseas) and a couple of his uncle's. Rod didn't get home until 3 am! I'm blaming Jim for that one!

Saturday night we went to a fish fry at Scotty's. Paige and I went home after dinner, but Rod stayed out late again. Not as long this time, but he seemed to have enjoyed being out with the guys!

Sunday Rod and I went to Peoria to the boat to do a little gambling. Paige went to Grandma Peg and Grandpa Stubby's house for the evening. I played Roulette and lost $100.00 in about 20 minutes! I didn't really enjoy that at all ;o( and then I lost another $40.00 playing a stupid machine. That was it for me! I just watched Rod play cards the rest of the time. He did however win back most of what I lost! Yeah for him! I knew I kept him around for a reason! LOL :o)
