PaRty TiMe!

At the end of March we went to Kansas City to see our brand new nephew, Jett. We also decided to celebrate all of the cousin's birthdays, since we have five, well, now six, that span from February through April.

The birthday guests of honor: Brody, 4, Braxton, 2, Easton, 5, Brookly, 4, & Keara, 5.

Pat & Arica's new little boy, Jett.

Time to swim!

Being the fearless girl she is, Keara getting thrown in the air!

The End is Near (of Winter that is!)

I feel like we just survived the longest winter ever. On March 18th, when I wrote this, after 99 days, we finally didn't have snow on the ground!! It was 63 degrees out, the warmest it had been in over four months.

Everything about winter wasn't sooo bad, we had several fun days of sledding and skating and building snowmen. However, I can only say that right now, because today I saw a tree that when you looked at it in the right light, at the right angle, you could see just a tiny glimpse of green coming through!

My birthday celebration!

Allen bought me a drill for my birthday!! (And, to his defense, a very cute pair of sandals!)
