Easter fun

I loved today.  Morning, afternoon and evening were perfect.  We started the day out with an awesome worship at church.  I sang my heart out but couldn’t come close to this.  Inside I tell myself I sound that good, but I think the gentleman sitting in the pew in front of me would disagree.  But oh well, Trevor still claims me.

Then it was back home to cook, cook, cook.  We had a feast and I am so happy my family came to play.  Papa, Grandma, Mom & Dad, Grandma B and the Rutz clan all joined us for Easter dinner.  Drake provided the entertainment while he hunted his Easter eggs.  And then I devoured the Coconut Creme pie my Gram made for me, I mean for all of us.  Thank goodness she made 2 so I can have one to snack on this week. Yay!

And to top off a wonderful day, I got to spend the evening with the man of my dreams and my little furball.  How blessed can one girl get?

Happy birthday Bridgette!

Today is my bestie’s birthday and I am soo excited to celebrate it with her!  Cake is in the oven (hopefully a pretty post will come out of that later) and I am anxiously awaiting dinner with her and her fam tonight.

So to pass some time I thought it would be fun to look back through our pics.  It was fun.  Super fun.  Do you like that we matched a lot?  I guess it was because we were besties way back then and we wanted everyone to know.  That or my Mom got a kick out of us looking alike.  Either way it makes for amazing photos.

I love you sister and can’t wait to celebrate your fabulousness tonight! xoxo

Horray!

I am in love with baking.  I stalk baking blogs, I lose hours in baking aisles at stores gazing at the new and amazing products, I dream of cakes with ribbon ruffles galore and I can’t stop thinking of the necessary areas I can apply this new obsession.  Easter, check.  Sister’s birthday, check.  Bridal shower, check.  Baby shower, check.  Horray for fun!

So perhaps you can understand how excited I was when I stumbled on this gem at Target tonight.  Oh you bet your britches I bought it.  And I haven’t even unloaded my bags from the car yet.  I had to come in and share how happy I am.  I can’t wait to cook up some of these nuggets this weekend.

Tanner’s 9th Birthday!

Happy birthday Tanner!  Wow, his 9th birthday already…I can’t believe it.  It feels like not too long ago he was 4 and blowing my mind with how he could figure out the DVD player in the car in seconds when I had been fumbling with it for minutes.  Smarty pants.

Today we celebrated with him at Wahooz and had a blast.  I am always up for my favorite carni games aka skee ball and hoops. I am proud to say I still put the smack down on Trev at hoops.  We also played an intense game of mini golf.  Allen scored 3 hole in ones and Linda 2!  I on the other hand did not even have one. Whaah wah wah.  Oh well.  I still came in tied with Trev for 3rd place.  Allen and Linda tied for 1st and Russ came in 5th.  It was tons of fun.

Tanner and his buddies played everything there was.  Go-carts, bumper boats, laser tag, mini-golf and tons and tons of arcade games.  Thanks Wahooz for a fun day!

Play time

Tonight Trev and I watched the Rutz kiddos and had a ton of fun!  Drake loves his “Uncle T” and the two of them played until their hearts were content.  Since today was AMAZING weather (thank you sunshine) we started out back and played every yard game we had.  Connor and I hung out on the blanket and soaked up a few rays.  Next up the boys built a fort and I wasn’t allowed in.  Drake informed me that “No girls were allowed”.  And so it begins.

He did however join me to bake chocolate chip cookies.  I think perhaps he will inherit his Dad’s great culinary skills.  He was a great little helper and I have to say the cookies turned out delish.  Thanks Crissie for sharing this tasty recipe with me!

Little Connor had as much fun as he could handle and snoozed in Uncle T’s arms.  Who knew my husband was such an expert!
