Time with Evan

One of the things Evan and I like to do is walk around the lake that is close to our home. It feels like I am far away from everything and I can just forget about all the stuff I have to get done and just have some quality time with my son. He loves looking at all the ducks and asks all kinds of questions about everything. I am enjoying this special time with my last child. He is really a sweet, fun kid.

My trip to NE!

 

No, to me Nebraska is not the most exciting place to visit, but it is when I have such a great family there! My dad, his new wife Carol and my step brother Daniel live in Lincoln. My brother Mike and I drove out there for the weekend and ended up having a very fun time! I have never laughed so hard, played so many fun games, and ate so much in one trip before! I already miss them terribly! They let us stay at their house and were so generous with everything! I really wish I lived closer so I could go over for game night at least once a month!

Easter at our house...

This year Easter Sunday was different than in years past. We stayed in our jammies all day and watched General Conference on TV. It was so uplifting and just what I needed. We also ate a ton! For breakfast I made cinnamon rolls and for dinner we had roast, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, carrots, rolls, and apple pie! Yum! Didn't take many pictures, but snapped this shot before we ate dinner. Hope your Easter was as good as ours was! PS... The glowing stuff in the kids cups is Kool Aid fizz fun lemonade! It looks scary, but was pretty tasty!

Practically Perfect

Last night was the much anticipated girls night out to go see Mary Poppins! Courtney and I went with our good friends, Kathie and Marissa and had the best time ever! The night started out with dinner at a yummy grill right by the theatre. Then we went and took some pictures by the poster and sat in our seats, which couldn't be in a better spot if you ask me. When the curtain started to rise, Courtney leaned over to me and said, "I am just so excited!" She sat through all 3 hours of the show and just was in awe of everything going on around her. It was so much fun to be able to do something that we both really enjoyed together! After the show, she asked me for a Mary Poppins bag. She found that part to be so amazing, with Mary always pulling big things out of it. I enjoyed every minute of the performance and will definitely be taking Courtney to one again!

Zoo day

Monday was zoo day for us since it was the first day of Spring break and the weather was beautiful! It was crowded and we had to park far away, but going with good friends made it a whole lot better! We saw all the animals we wanted to, had a nice picnic lunch, and got some exercise in! My kids favorites? Jacob liked the gorillas, Dillon the penguins, Courtney the baby turtles, and Evan EVERYTHING!
