Why I love having a daughter.....

I love having a daughter to do girly things together...Marissa asked if she could put makeup on each other.  How could I resist that request?

Easter 2015

We enjoyed Easter in Iowa this year!  It was so fun to watch the kids play and enjoy being together.  I enjoyed time with Grandma reminiscing about my childhood and the wonderful memories we both cherish.  Watching the kids do the annual Easter Egg hunt is always entertaining to watch!  Thankful for our family when we celebrate together!

Spring Break!

We are heading into Easter Weekend so I better get my pictures posted before we leave town!  We've had a busy week with lots of Easter activities.  The kids got to attend a local church's Easter event.  They loved the inflatables and the Easter egg hunt.  We had a family fun day starting with a trip to Bogarts Donuts and unlimited rides at the Mall of America.  We also had a playdate with our BFF's and a trip to the movies to see Home.  My kids also got to Cinderella last weekend.  They are being a tad bit spoiled.  They also got to participate in the annual Easter egg coloring at G & G Holgrimson's and had an overnight playdate with their cousins.  BUSY week but super fun!  Happy Easter to all my loyal readers!!!

Mexico Vacation!

We arrived home late on Sunday morning from our vacation in Mexico.  It was so nice to get away from the stresses of life and just be together for a week.  The warm sun was just what the doctor ordered and it felt so wonderful.  Here are a few pics I captured!

March!

Another month has flown by and I have been good at blogging this year.  It seems like we have just been so busy that I haven't even taken pictures of the kids to share. Today we are getting snowed in and it's the perfect to catch up on everything around the house!  We are leaving for Mexico on Sunday and we are so looking forward to some relaxation.  I promise to take lots of good pictures while we are gone.  The kids are looking forward to doing lots of swimming.  I'm hoping that the warm weather will bake all these winter colds out of us for good. 

I'm off to bake some banana bread and snuggle with my sick boy! 

Where did January go?

Here we are on the 1st day of February and I can't believe that we are through the longest month of the year.  Maybe it's because January gave us unseasonably warm weather and we could stand to be outside a lot more than usual.  We've been keeping busy with just the normal things in life.  Working on little projects here and there in our home.  We have some fun things to look forward to for the next few months and so we are happy that January is over! 

We've been battling the usual winter colds and looking forward to our family vacation coming up where we can soak up the warmth and the beach!  We are counting down to Spring Break! 

Stay tuned for more exciting adventures.  2015 is going to be the best year yet!

Winter fun!

The kids brought in 2015 with lots of winter fun!  We are experiencing COLD right now in Minnesota.  Here's to hoping that the warm weather comes back soon!
