Planting trees, garage sales, and a weekend at grandmas!

Well this past weekend was a busy one! Thursday night we decided it was time to plant our tree in the front yard! Bomgaars had some really great trees to choose from and we are hoping this one flourishes like the other ones are doing. Friday we had our annual garage sale. It was a very busy day as that day we also had our 16 week appointment! Baby is sounding good as we got hear the heart beat. We should find out whether we are having a boy or a girl at our next appointment! YAY!! Randie found some great finds at the yard sale. Aunt Katie was selling a doll house and Barbies. These are her new favorite things! Saturday we got up and headed down to Hemingford to help grandma with some stuff. We got the fair buildings cleaned out and more added to the burn pile! We also got great grandpas garage door installed on Sunday! That night we celebrated my birthday, mom birthday, and Ryan's birthday! It was a great time with family!!

 

Her new favorite toys...the doll house and Barbie's!

Helping plant the tree!! She was such a big help!

Saturday morning snuggles and cartoons are the best!

Should be sleeping but who can nap when there is a dog to torture ;)

Cousin bonding time while it rains outside!

Snuggles with grandma are the best on rainy days!

Breezy Days and Birthday Parties!

We have been very busy now that the weather is now so I apologize for not updating lately! I am finally starting to feel like myself and getting energy back so we have been super duper busy! We have spent time with the fireman kids again! Boy how they have all grown and changed! The kids have an absolute blast together and us moms enjoy the conversations as well! So blessed that my daughter (and future baby) have some amazing people to hang out with and grow with!

 

Randie also has a new favorite past time! Riding the lawn mower with dad! It is so nice that she enjoys that as we all get something accomplished then! We also like to nap under shade trees! HA!! Randie has slowly out grown the stroller and we have not upgraded to a wagon (Kyle says I got the deluxe version...whoops! Didn't look that big on the computer!) Randie enjoys the wagon and it is big enough to carry all our crap with us when we go somewhere! Randie and Kyle also built her a sandbox. It is fairly fancy sand box but it is perfect for what we need it for!! Very excited to get it full of sand!

 

We got help celebrate Carson turning the big 1!! The kids had a great time and what a fun day it was!

All the fireman's kids!! One of us was able to capture a decent picture!

Branson and Randie loves horsey rides!

 

Mowing with dad!

Nothing entertains a toddler and a dog quite like a balloon!

 

Helping put a wagon together!

Napping under a shade tree...best way to spend a Saturday morning!!

 

YAY for birthday parties!

Love that all these kids are growing up together!! :)

Helping dad with the sandbox!

 

Easter....a reason for celebration!

Nothing brings more joy to my heart than spending time with family!! Easter is such a reason for celebration and we were beyond blessed this year to spend with all of our family!! We dyed Easter eggs with Branson and Declan, attended an Easter egg hunt, and played all day Saturday with family! Sunday we had Easter dinner with the Brice's and they did a scavenger hunt to find some loot! That afternoon we were able to enjoy family time swimming with the Dannar's! Overall, it was a very enjoyable weekend!  Enjoy all the pictures!!

 

These three are definite trouble makers ;)

Grandma is the funnest!

Everyone gets a taste of a marshmallow!

Bubbles!

Time to dye eggs!

 

All ready for the Easter Egg hunt! It was a little chilly so a hat was necessary!

 

 

After we hunted eggs, we went and played at the park for a while!

 

And sunshine and bubbles were perfect in the afternoon!

All dressed up for Easter! Compliments to Amanda Willey for making her beautiful dress!! It was perfect!

 

The Brice family grandkids!

 

Swimming fun!

 

Randie with most of her loot! She made out like a bandit!

Time to relax after a busy day!
