Snail Trainer

Mike came home from school super chipper… bringing home lots of stuff to show Mom.

Mike: "I had to draw what I was want to be when I grow up."

Mom: "Did you draw yourself as a scientist?"

Mike: "No!… A snail trainer!"

Easter

We celebrated Easter with lots of family at Jeff & Jess's house this year. It was perfect weather and perfect fun.

 See?? Super fun.

Lisa's Bridal Shower

We're very excited to be adding Lisa to our family!! My mom and sisters and I did a bridal shower for her at the beginning of the month with the theme "Favorite Things".  Stacy and April rocked it with all the decor they made. Their skills kill me.

Everyone went home with a "brown paper package tied up with string". Inside was a CD of Lisa's favorite songs. I'm pretty sure everyone drove home jiggin'.

See what I mean? Cute, cute, cute.

All the food was some of Lisa's favorite things. She has good taste.

There were these awesome taquitos my mom made too. I'm not sure why I didn't photograph them. People loved them...actually more like snarfed them.

That raspberry lemonade hiding in the corner was rather delectable. 

Oh Lisa, you're too much fun! We can't wait for the wedding -just 10 more days!!!

In Jane's Room

Some photos I snapped while playing in Jane's room.
Michael sat in one spot the entire time, while in comparison Jane ran around the room from toy to toy. She's a busy girl. And Mikey was very focused with his doodle pad.
