Makeup Already?














Oh how it starts way to young...
When I was on the phone the other day Bella came out with my mascara and had already started applying. Well of course I was trying to get it from her and she just kept right on. The funny thing was is she knew exactly where it went and how. They pay attention way to much!

Hoppy Easter











We had a wondeful Easter. The kids got up and got ready for church and then got their baskets..which they loved. They had a piece or two of candy and then we went to church. After that we had my family come over and eat Ham and cheesy potatoes and fixings. It was yummy. Then they opened their gifts from Auntie Nicky and Grandma. It was fun for them. Then we did a small egg hunt out in the snow for the kids. It wasn't bad because they got the eggs of the driveway and sidewalk. They enjoyed that a lot. All in all it was a relaxing enjoyable day! The day before we went and saw the Easter Bunny at a boutique store in Maple Grove. It was a little crazy and of course the kids didn't want to look at the camera but yeah we were there right.

March Madness!


Ok, I am not a hug basketball fan or anything and John isn't way into it but he enjoys watching any sports that he can. So I thought I would make a big basketball cookie for him to take to work. So that they all can enjoy some. So hopefully it's good. I told him to try it out first! Enjoy all the games for all of you that love this time of year!

I can SEE!



Yeah, I finally had my Lasik done today! I do have to admit that for the first 4 hours I was scared and couldn't open my eyes which was really weird, but after that it was amazing. Not perfect but I can finally see without glasses or contacts. It's just crazy. I am not sure why I waited so long. Well I know why, I had Parker and than you have to wait of course but he is well worth it. But it was a Awesome Christmas gift..thanks MOM! My left eye will take about a month to heal and my right eye only a few days. I had my first check up today and I am already 20/20 in that eye...YEAH! I am so excited. I will keep updating my progress.

Arizone here we come: Part 1





















The kids and I were so ready to get out of the cold MN weather and go some place warm. So we packed up and headed to AZ. We were there for 10 days and we had a BlaSt:) The first half we spent at Kelli and Nate's house. And we miss it already. Bella was so happy to have friends to play with day in and day out and especially to be able to play outside. It seems like it has been forever. By mid day Bella seemed to be down to just a shirt and diaper. She was so happy not to have layers on. (good ol' MN weather) But Kel and I hung out and organized her house and did her food storage. It was so neat to see it all come together so smoothly and quickly. We never ran out of room and we just seemed to find the deals and it Looked Great! And the kids played so well for us so we could get it done and Nate of course helped! Thanks Nate. We took one night and went over to the Mesa Temple. It was so beautiful and there is such a peace there. We all really enjoyed it. Bella loved looking at Jesus. She was so amazed. But we truly had a great time and hope to do it again soon. thanks kel,nate and all those cute kiddos.

Arizone here we come: Part 2











The first part of the second half of our trip we got to spend with John's sister Erin's family. We had a really great time going to Cameron's soccer games and playing at the park and just hanging out at their house. Bella is still walking around asking where Abbie is? She loves her cousins. They are so cute with my kids. We love it.

Arizone here we come: Part 3




























For the last part of the trip we went to Jane and Dave House. That is John's mom and step-dad. We had a fun time there to. Besides the kids having a cold and pink eye. (And spending hours at Walmart getting meds)We really enjoyed ourselves. The kids got to spend more time with their cousins playing and celebrating one of their birthdays. We dipped our feet in their pool a few times. It was a little cold to go all the way in but Dayna and Jared did though. They are brave. But we did go into the hot tub. Bella liked that. We also got to go to the zoo. It was one of the best zoos we have gone too. The animals were right there. It was so fun. Bella of course found every puddle and dirt to play in but it was our last day there so she needed to live it out. Bella even got to feed a giraffe, ducks and other birds. She thougth that was fun. Thanks Dayna and Jared. But we had a really fun time in AZ. As you can probably tell since there is so many pictures. But thanks to everyone for making it a great time. We love you all.
