Mom's Birthday;
Last Tuesday we headed to Neenah to celebrated my mom's 50th Birthday with family and friends! We had a very nice dinner at Solea. Then headed back to my parents house for dessert.

Dave's Birthday;

Today, on April 19th, Dave and I celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! Hard to believe that it has been 2 years already. It has been a wonderful 2 years of marriage! I married a terrific man, a man that is perfect for me, a man who is a wonderful husband and an amazing father, a man who completes me and is my better half!

Hears to 2 years of marriage and many many more! Love you, babe!

Here are a few pictures to reminisce of our wedding day;

Our Easter Weekend

Happy Belated Easter! We had a great Easter Weekend! It all started Friday Afternoon when Gavin and I went over to Kristin's house to stuff Easter Eggs for the Easter egg hunt that we would have on Easter Day! The kids played, we stuffed eggs and then we all took a nice walk to the park! Friday Evening we went to church for the Good Friday service. It was such an amazing service. Very intimate, emotional, and worthy! It was the perfect way of remembrance on Good Friday! We then came home and colored and decorated easter eggs! (didn't get any pictures of that!)
Saturday morning we headed to Neenah for my families Easter. We went right to Matt & Ashley's house because we were told that the Easter Bunny stopped there for Gavin! Giving Uncle Matt Hugs! We then headed over to my Mom & Dad's. We did an outside Easter egg hunt that included Gavin and the adults! My mom went a little overboard on Easter for Gavin. She must have thought it was Christmas, Easter & his Birthday all rolled into one instead of just Easter! She then sent Gavin on three seperate Easter Egg/Scavenger hunts to fine 3 seperate Easter Baskets. She gave us the first egg and we would read the clue to Gavin.He would then go to that 'place' and find another egg with another clue inside leading to his easter baskets! It was pretty cute and Gavin loved it!

Gavin's 1st Easter Basket he found (Candy Basket) Gavin's 2nd Easter Basket he found (Clothes Basket)Gavin's 3rd Easter Basket he found (Toy Basket)Easter Morning Gavin woke up and looked for his Easter Basket that the Easter Bunny left for him. It was hidden under the table in the living room between the couches! It actually took him a little while to find it! We then headed off to Church! We then headed over to Mom and Dad VV's for a late lunch/early dinner! The kids also did their Easter Egg hunt!

It was a very nice Easter Weekend.

Modern Family

Does anyone else LOVE this show as much as my family does?! Modern Family has become a household favorite here and we look forward to it every week! Lately they have been having new episodes on and they are HILARIOUS!

Last night we missed the new episode of Modern Family because we had Doug & Kate Johnson over for dinner. We have not seen them since there wedding, almost a year ago! They have been pretty busy and they recently got back from the Olympics! Doug's Dad was the Coach for the Womens USA Hockey team this year! It was a great to hear all about it from them and to catch up!

Here is the last nights episode of Modern Family, just in case you missed it too :) Also, I love Hulu!

This past weekend was pretty low key! Friday evening and Saturday morning I had to work! On Saturday morning Dave took Gavin to an easter egg hunt with Kristin, Lily, Nolan, and Mom and Dad VV! From the pictures it looked like Gavin had a good time! He is excited for more easter egg hunts next weekend and he is super excited for the Easter Bunny to come!Saturday evening Mom and Dad VV watched Gavin so Dave and I could go out to dinner! We had a great evening out.
Sunday after church we came home and put up Gavin's Trampoline! He is loving it. We got it up just in time for this weeks nice warm weather!We also made and decorated cupcakes yesterday! Decorating tunred into a food fight with the cupcakes and frosting! Check out all the frosting in Dave's ear! hahahaAnd then he got me back!

We are looking forward to this weeks nice warm weather! It is supposed to be in the 70's!! To bad I have to work 3 evenings this week :(
This coming weekend is sure going to be busy! Friday we will go to church (Good Friday) and then Saturday we will head to Neenah to have Easter with my side of the family and then drive back to Madison Saturday evening! Wake up for Church on Sunday and then head over to Mom and Dad VV's for Easter! Whew..I am exhausted just thinking about it!
Have a great week!

And so it begins!

When we moved into our house last May we knew that this coming spring 2010 we would want/have to do landscaping. Lets face it, our yard was in rough shape when we moved it!The first day of spring was Saturday and Dave wasn't wasting any time! So we started the brick patio in the backyard! We have to do the brick patio first before we can extend our deck up top! It's exciting but at the same time I feel like we are losing our precious yard space! A good yard is hard to come by in the Madison area! Not like we have nice yard space anyways but now we don't have much at all with the wooded area being there too! Dave keeps reminding me that we have a park right next door! Here are some pictures of my boys working hard :) The weather got a lot nicer as the day went on ;)

A couple of weekends ago we ran to the mall for something and the Easter Bunny was there. Gavin wanted to sit in his lap and tell him what he wanted for Easter. You will never guess what he said?!

A SCARECROW. seriously?! Where am I going to find a scarecrow in March?! and more importantly..why on earth does he want a scarecrow?! Honestly, the weirdest things come out of a 3 yr olds mouth!
