Spring has sprung!

We have been enjoying the wonderful weather here lately.  Last weekend, Delaney spent a majority of her time running around outside with the neighbors in her swimming suit!  It was THAT warm!  All Delaney wants to do these days is be outside!

She was being silly on the porch last Friday night as we watched a thunderstorm roll into town!

Izzy on the other hand wanted nothing more than to be inside hiding under the bed.  Delaney tried to make her feel better!

Talk about being silly!  Here she is with a big bite of chicken!  She had such a hard time deciding whether to come outside or finish her dinner, so she decided to turn it into a fun game of back and forth!

We decided to start a new traditional this year and dye Easter Eggs with Delaney.  We will need to work on her gentleness, but she did think it was pretty fun!  Next year, she'll get to be a little more "hands on".  I ran across an idea on Pinterest to use Kool-Aid to dye the eggs, and I have to say it worked really well.  The smell was much more appealing too!

Delaney had fun deciding which egg went with each color!

Naturally, green was her favorite choice!

Of course, Daddy's creativeness had to take over for a little while.  He had to make a very special egg for himself!

Yes, that's right!  Football season is 12 months long in our house! 

Here's our girl with all her pretty eggs! 

Here's to wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter!

Another one bites the dust...

vacation that is! We got back from Okoboji last Saturday evening! The week was full of fun, sun, food, drinks, & one trip to the ER! The weather couldn't have been any better for me...it was perfect boating weather! It was warm enough to be out & about in a swimming suit, but cool enough that I didn't melt or overheat on the boat all day! We have never been for 7 days, so it was a new experience for all of us! I think it was the perfect amount of time...long enough that it didn't go by so fast, but not too long! Oh, and the house we picked out online was absolutely wonderful! It was huge and beautiful! I think there is a good chance we'll be booking the same place for next summer! Yay!

The trip to the ER was for me! Yep, I'm a klutz! On Thursday morning, I was walking through our house up there and kicked a chair on the way by. Long story short, I fractured a small bone in my foot! Now, I have the pleasure of wearing a very stylish Velcro shoe until tennis shoes don't hurt...SWEET! Oh well, at least I did it at the end of the week!

This week we are trying to get back in the swing of things with work, home, etc. Last night we had a huge storm roll through Lincoln. We actually lost a small limb off our birch tree in the front yard. That's a new experience with being homeowners. We never had to worry about that sort of thing with the apartments...it wasn't our problem.

Oh, and we are gearing up for the big one year anniversary on Saturday! I can't believe it's been a whole year already...wow time flies! So many exciting things have happened! We don't have any extravagant plans for Saturday, probably just dinner out someplace yummy! I do have our wedding cake top tier thawing out in our fridge. I really hope it doesn't taste too bad...I really loved our cake and have been craving it lately! Our trip to Las Vegas over Labor Day will be our anniversary celebration/gift to each other! I'm really looking forward to it, assuming my foot feels better by then!
