March Happenings

March was a busy month.  We had basketball games, which then turned into volleyball and soccer practices, volleyball games for me, countless things Stake YW, piano, oh and we bought a house!

Cute braids for this girl:

 Allison and Sam helped me clean out the car:

 End of the season party at McDonald's for Allison's team:

 We went and played at Steel Lake.  Cam loved this new merry-go-round

 We made Konrad sit in the back of the Tesla.  Camryn was a little upset that we were all in the wrong seats!

Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Complete with a "Minnie bow"

 A Wendy's opened in Covington:

 I was able to attend Time Out For Women with some great friends.  Some of us went up way early on Friday and spent the day shopping and eating yummy food.  We stayed in a hotel and had a blast.  TOFW was very uplifting.  I loved it.

 This is my goal group.  Since the beginning of 2015 we have all emailed each other every single day and told each other our goals for the day.  It is a great way to stay motivated.  As well as goals we've been able to share all of our ups and downs and give each other the support and courage it takes to be a mom/wife sometimes :)  Love these ladies!

 Kimber painted Camryn's nails:

 Cam loves playing at the park.  I will really miss having this next door. 

We are slowly finishing up all the to-do projects before we move.  Konrad made a bubble to spray paint trim in.  Luckily he didn't die.  The fumes were pretty bad!

 "Minnie" taking a nap:

  I took Sam and Allison to see Cinderella.  So cute.  I really like it. 

 Kimber and Ariana after a long day of shopping in Covington and before they went to a Stake Dance:

 And finally.  Our big purchase for the month of March:

Can't wait to live there!!!!

Easter Egg Hunt 2015

We had our annual Easter Egg hunt again.  We had to do it a week early due to our upcoming trip to Australia (we live in 30 minutes!!!!).

Love all these people and I am so glad they come to this fun tradition!!!

I was really hoping to catch one of them falling in the mud :)

 Colin was a great spinner.  They all loved it.  Luckily the only one that flew off was his 12 year old son.  Phew!

 All the hunters (minus a few babies like Camryn and Penny)

 This one didn't hunt this year but was awesome at helping us hide the eggs and I'm sure she enjoyed her alone time on the spinner :)

Until next year.  And, YES, there will be a next year!  We aren't moving too far!!!

Ian's Day - 2015 - 4 years

This year it has been 4 years since we lost our son.  It's always a sad time of year for me, this year was no different.  I had a few breakdowns, but mostly just felt sad and wishful (wishing things had been different). 

This year for Ian's Day we....

Visited the cemetery:

 The girls and I went out for donuts before school (it was a late start day):

 That night after piano and before my volleyball game we went to the Family Fun Center:

While I would much rather be celebrating a real birthday and spoiling a little boy rotten, we had a great day as a family.
