Well, Well, Well....

Spring has finally sprung!

It seemed like the longest winter in history,

but now I'm happy to report the snow is ALL GONE!!!

(I should hope so...it is May already, after all.)

It's been nice to see green grass instead of the fluffy white stuff.

We even started our tomato plants. Can't wait to make salsa later this summer!

Before the thaw,

we took a trip to Vegas for a few weeks to warm up.

Here are a few pics from our trip...

Spending time with family and friends is ALWAYS fun!

The kids loved the warm weather and enjoyed the park...

as well as some pizza, games & fun at Chuck E Cheese.

Even a trip to the dentist was enjoyable!

New toothbrushes, toys from the Treasure Chest & visiting Lola at the office was delightful.

And since April is birthday/anniversary month for Greg & me,

we treated ourselves to some Apples.

The iPad 2 for me and the iPhone 4 for him.

We are hooked!

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Anniversary to us!

It was a pleasant Easter this year with the kids.

The Easter Bunny came with yummy treats for them,

and they had a blast coloring Easter eggs for the first time.

Here they are in their Sunday duds. Aren't they the cutest?

Our other little cutie is due in less than a month.

(Already...can you believe that?)

We are anxiously awaiting his/her arrival.

Can't wait!!!

Spring Cleaning?!?!

I can't believe it's already the end of the month.

That means we only have about a month left before our big move to South Dakota.  

D'ya think I've even started packing?  HA!!!!!!!!  Not even close.  

I am the biggest procrastinator on the planet.

We did have a pretty fun month though.

Here's what we did...

Caleigh's 1st Easter Egg Hunt 

 We had a blast at my cousin's Easter Celebration.  Caleigh was the youngest one there, so she got a head start on all the other kids and made out pretty good.  Lots of fun toys for her & candy (for Mommy-hahaha).

My Mom's Birthday

We celebrated my Mom's 67th birthday this year with dinner at The Prime Rib Loft.  It was yummy!  Doesn't my mom look great?  Beauty runs in our family :)

My Birthday

My cousin & her family invited us over to celebrate my mom's & my birthday.  When we got there, we had a pleasant surprise waiting for us on the kitchen counter.  My niece & nephew, Payton & Nicholas, made us a cake!  It was so sweet of them to think of us like that!  And to top it off, it was the BEST birthday cake I'd ever tasted.  Mmmmmm!!!  Thanks kids :)

A Trip to Cali

For our anniversary & my birthday, we had a weekend getaway to LA.  We stayed at the Hilton in Glendale (thanks to Priceline...it was only $55/nt).  We also visited my sisters who treated us to some good eats while we were there.  I also enjoyed my breakfast in bed, and although Caleigh was missing her crib, she still had a fun time, too.  

Leyla & Matt's Wedding

While we were in LA, we attended one of my oldest & dearest friends wedding.  I've known Leyla for 30 years...since we were in 2nd grade together.  It was great being able to see her walk down the aisle.  It makes me happy to see her happy.  It was a beautiful wedding.

Well, that's a wrap up of our April.

Now it's time to get to work on getting us packed.  

Spring cleaning...fun, fun!!!
