A Mini Vacation

After a weekend full of graduation parties and Cash's birthday party, we headed to Omaha for a relaxing few days of fun! On Monday we spent the morning and part of the afternoon at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

Carson wasn't feeling well right after we got there and we probably would of had to leave if it wasn't for this rented double stroller.

Collin LOVES trains and last year when we went to the zoo over spring break the train wasn't running yet. He was super excited to take the train ride around the zoo this year!

Two of our monkeys!

Cash enjoyed his first trip to the zoo and was such a trooper.

We also enjoyed eating out, going to Nebraska Furniture Mart (well I'm not sure the boys enjoyed the 4 hrs we spent there!) and swimming at the hotel.

Mini vacations are just as exhausting (and fun) as BIG ones!

It's Coming Along!

The walls have been primed and the ceiling has been painted (the kitchen area).

Doors are being hung.

The stone has arrived and is going up!

This week the tile in the bathrooms is being layed, the cabinets will go in and they are hanging all the trim and will stain it on the walls before they begin painting. 4 weeks to go!

We celebrated Cash's first birthday on May 12th with a Dr. Seuss themed party. It was so much fun planning, decorating, and enjoying the party!

Because Cash's birthday falls on the same weekend as graduation, I wasn't able to order a cake. My friend from work was willing to make these delicious key lime cupcakes.

Yummy!

House Progress

I've been way behind on my blog postings, but here is some photos of the progress on our new home. We FINALLY accepted an offer on our house and had the home inspection today so we are moving forward. We are all looking forward to being in our new home and new neighborhood June 15th!

11 Months Old

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun.

I Can't Believe My Baby Is Almost ONE!

Cash turned 11 months old on April 10th. He now has 4 teeth on bottom and 3 (almost 4) on top. He is beginning to sign "all-done, more, and milk". He crawls fast, extremely fast! He loves to pull himself up to things and is brave enough to let go. He's starting to say "mama" and means Mama. He also says "hi". He sleeps awful (still) and loves his food (still).

Easter Weekend

The boys dyed Easter eggs on Saturday afternoon. I procrastinated and didn't buy dye until that day so it took me trips to two different stores before I found some.

Grandma Betty came up Saturday afternoon and watched the boys for us while we went out on a date. We enjoyed dinner at the Alley Rose and a trip to look around the new house (again).

The boys were up early (Carson was up at 4:45) on Easter morning all ready to begin their egg hunt.

Cash enjoyed his first Easter basket full of goodies!

I didn't get very good pictures of Carson & Collin hunting eggs because they were running so fast through the house, but I happened to get this cute one of Cash making a funny face at me. Check out all of those teeth!

We hope everyone had a blessed Easter!

Fishing

Brett promised to take the boys fishing while he was home for Easter so we headed out to the lake early Saturday morning. I think it was a bit too cold because the fish weren't biting. They had fun anway and Cash & I got some good fresh air by walking around the entire lake.
