Lots going on...

what an amazing and busy weekend! Scout and I started out the weekend with the First Annual Girls Day Out with Grandma Sara, Aunt Barbie, Cousin Caitlin, and Mommy. We spent a full day in Omaha shopping around to find some of the best deals and just enjoying spending some time together. It was a great day!
Friday evening Mike and I took to the road to go pick up Scout's early birthday present. Royal Contessa Miss Belladocious Monkey Moo (aka RC) was brought home and welcomed with open arms. Hotrod is still getting used to having another dog in the house, they have their moments where she wants to play and he doesn't.. but they will get there. Scout loves her puppy and so do the boys so we are pretty happy to have expanded our family and "adopted" a new little one. :)
Saturday Grandma & Grandpa Lux came for a visit and we played talked and ate. They brought Scout a little Husker Cheerleading outfit just in time to wear to show our Husker support for the spring game. Today we plan on relaxing... well that is the plan anyway ;)

Happy 8 Months & Easter

It was a great weekend. I do not think I could have asked for a better one. Time spent with family, and gorgeous weather. What could be better? Miss Scout turned 8 months on Easter Sunday as well. We had a little dinner party on Friday night with family, Saturday we spent doing some landscaping and yard work, and then Sunday we were up bright and early for sunrise service at church. I really have nothing else to say, it was just a glorious weekend. ;)
Hope everyone else had as great a time as we did and got to catch up with friends and family as well...

Good Friday...

In more ways than one. I have had an amazing day with the kids. We slept in played with the nerf guns, and are going to color our Easter Eggs this evening. Tomorrow is the Easter Egg hunt at Pawnee Park, forgive me I can't remember the great volunteer group that puts this one together. Its been a tradition for quite awhile now and I am excited to take Scout to her first hunt, even if she will just be a spectator. Kole of course is too old to participate but I'm sure he will be more than willing to help Logan find some candy. ;) This year I am hoping that cousin Caitlin will be able to make it and grab some eggs of her own. There are so many things that I am thankful for and Easter really brings it all into perspective. What a great and wonderful God we have!
Many blessings to you all this weekend and may you all have a Hoppy Easter.

What a BEAUTIFUL weekend!

The weekend started out a bit rainy, but we had an Easter lunch with Grandma Brown, Aunt Jennifer, and cousins Cypress and Gunner. Scout had her first taste of potato salad and baked beans and didn't seem to mind them. ;) She also sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time as well. Its hard to believe a week from today she will be 8 months old. She is growing so much and its hard to believe what a little peanut she started out as.
Today we have enjoyed the outside so much! We started out with an Easter Egg hunt out at Grandma & Grandpa Browns, followed by a trip to Menard's for some landscaping materials. Wish me luck I am trying to start some flowers indoors. Now we all know what kind of thumb I have and it definitely isn't green. Hopefully this year will be the year where I find myself to be a happy gardener. We are still working on the house, trying to get the landscaping designs written out and have put down some grass seed to fill in a few spots and cover the hole in the yard Logan and Kole so diligently dug last week. Here are some photos from the weekend. They finally took down Santa's house and put up some egg decorations on the square so I took Scout down for some pre-Easter photos, she also found her binky (which she hasn't used in about 2 months now) and decided that it might just be the best thing she has found in her toy tote. Miss Scout also decided this last week that it is much more fun to steal the spoon and try to feed herself which has made for some pretty interesting meal times. ;)
Hope everyone had a great weekend and got a chance to be outside and enjoy the beginnings of our nice weather!

More pictures from the week....

Happy Belated St Patricks day!

We have been a busy household this last week and I am just now getting the time to fill you all in.
It was a great week, I started back to school.. again..., we took the Jetta up to Lincoln for some TLC, enjoyed the nicest day of the year so far, and are working on some things around the house some more. Mike also gave me my early Mother's day present, A NEW PATIO SET! Yea!!
Hope everyone had a great week and celebrated the Irish in them ;)

Scout's t.v. debut!

Thanks to KETV for airing birthdays on the 7s!
Happy 7 months sweetie ;)
