Easter Weekend

For Easter weekend we rented a houseboat at Lake Mead with ALL of Ben's family. The weather was perfect but the water was cold! One night, Mary made us virgin pina colodas and margaritas and we had a dance on the deck. (those are the pics with us dressed up) It was so fun - thanks KC and Mary.

It's a...

We are excited for Annie to get a sister! They'll be almost exactly two years apart.

#2 is on the way!

For those of you who don't know, I am pregnant with our second. I am 14 weeks along and we will get to find out the gender next Wednesday. We are so excited to have another little baby! And the best news is...I eat and it doesn't come back up an hour later. YES!

Annie's world

Someone from Ben's work gave him this sweet bike for Annie, so all that day we kept telling her that Papa (she calls Ben papa) has a surprise for her when he gets home. She kept asking me "pise, papa?" Ben stopped on his way home from work and got a balloon to tie onto it and waited on the sidewalk in front of our house. When i opened the door she ran out yelling "babboo...bike...babboo". If we didn't know any better we would have thought she was crying she was so happy.

Annie's passions are: Balloons (she makes a fuss over every one she sees and since about three months ago she draws them on everything.) Umbrellas (If anyone mentions the word rain she yells "ehya" and runs to the closet to get the umbrella)

Favorite Foods: Scrambled eggs with cheese and fruit snacks

Drink of choice: "Appa joose" repeated 10 times

Favorite pass-time: Mothering every other kid that will let her and if she can't find a kid she'll settle for her baby dolls.

Love You Long Time

Ben and I felt like teeny boppers again. We went to my friends concert at the Electric Theater the other night and the whole time we were jumping around and dancing with all the thirteen year olds. We can't lie, we LOVED it!

Half Marathon

By far the most difficult thing i've done physically. It was pretty intense but we finished and want to do another in the future. When we were done Annie came over to Ben and gave him a heartfelt hug (so cute).

Halloween

We went to our friends sons birthday party to start out the night. She did some fun Halloween snacks and a cute monster cake. Then we went to the "trunk or treating" here in town. I've decided I don't like trunk or treating as much. I don't like walking in a line of kids that don't have to do anything but hold out their bag and occasionally grab for their treat. I wish it was the same as it once was...no trunks, just walking door to door to door and yelling "trick or treat" to get that "much wanted" candy that you only received on Halloween. Oh well we still had a great time!

This is my cute niece and nephew. We spent the night trick or treating with them and my sister has everyone over for chili after.
