A Garden for Danny

Danny decided that he really wanted to create a garden so that he and the kids could have some fun taking care of it and growing some fruits and vegetables. He asked my Dad for some help to get going and they actually found some pre-made boxes for gardening. They made the space for them and got them put together. We got out to the store and he picked up just a few things to start with. They decided to grow broccoli, green beans, watermelon, and strawberries. There is also an attempt for some pumpkins on a hill in our backyard. They each have there own box to take care of and the kids loving that they have their own stuff to take care of. We'll see how it all turns out... I have a feeling I will be the only one taking care of it all! ;)

Girl Time!

Last night Bronwyn and I invited our twin nieces/cousins Kaylie and Alyssa to come up and spend the night with us. Anytime we get to see them it is usually at a big family event and there's too much going on for any one on one time. So we had a fun night out with just the girls. We grabbed dinner and then saw the movie, Mirror Mirror. And after a quick stop for nail polish we went back to our house for manicures! In the morning we hung out and all the girls let me do their hair. Bronwyn and Hayden had so much fun playing together with the girls. They really enjoyed having them over and so did I! It means a lot to me that I could have them for the night and spend some real quality time with them!

Happy Easter!

Seems like each year each holiday is a little more exciting as the kids get that much older and really enjoy it. This Easter was lots of fun. Before bed last night Bronwyn was so excited you would have thought Santa was coming! We dyed some eggs and the kids left out a couple of tiny carrots for the Easter Bunny.


Bronwyn woke up nice and early and could not sit still until she was allowed to wake Hayden up and see the baskets! They were both thrilled with the treats that the Easter Bunny left them. Lots of fun toys and not a ton of candy!



















After we all got ready for the day my parents and brother and his family came over for breakfast and the Easter Egg Hunt! The kids are so fast at spotting them all and seemed to love it!










After spending a few hours hanging out and making my dessert to bring to dinner, Danny's Dad and Evelyn stopped by to visit and see the kids. Then we headed to my parents house for dinner. The kids filled up on ham and Bronwyn tried to eat the entire bowl of black olives! After dessert we left for home. Such a fun filled but relaxing holiday spent with family... perfect!
