Hello Easter Bunny

We took the girls to see the Easter bunny this morning. While waiting Lauryn kept waving to the bunny and saying Hi. I thought for sure she would sit on his lap. Major NO go! She clung to Al and would not let go. The other 2 never had a problem with Santa or the bunny. We have one scared cat!

She looked so stinkin cute. We walked the mall after and had a lot of comments on how cute all the girls looked with matching dresses.

Spring Ball

The girls started coach pitch softball with Henderson ASA about a month ago. Their first game was last Saturday. This is Lily's first season. She is so tiny out there. She really seems to enjoy playing. I think her favorite parts are telling the other team "good game" while giving high-fives, singing the cheers and the snacks at the end. She is doing well considering her age. Landree is doing well. I think in the next couple seasons she's really going to excel. This is Lily's first time up to bat ever. Her shorts are almost as big as she is.

Lauryn has figured out the right way to get around.

My nephew, Nathan, was visiting over the weekend and was able to make it to the game. The girls were so excited to see him.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Every year we go to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Last Saturday was our day to go. Landree missed it for the first time since she's been born. She had a sing-a-long at UNLV with the Girl Scouts. She was initially disappointed but had a great time with the Girl Scouts "and went to an actual college"!
This shirt has officially made it through all of the girls. It's a good thing they each only wore it a day or two.



This is Landree just under 2 at the parade.

These are from the parade this year. Our friends, BJ and Liana, were able to join us.

Accessories Upstairs

This is the wall in the upstairs guest bathroom.

A touch of fun on the kitchen cabinets.

I love this rug! I am proud to say I found it and convinced Lisa to try it. I think it looks great!

This is the front entry table, just behind the fireplace. Lisa plans on changing out the front seasonally. Hence, the tulips for spring. We also searched high and low for something small enough to put on the bottom shelf. I love the little birds.

Accessories Downstairs

We found these cool prints to start of the "scheme" in the basement. Using fun more vibrant colors like red, black, green and fun elements it was all coming together!

The fun red pillow with gems. The framed picture is the Las Vegas sign and wood dice. The colors in the clock also play off all the other colors.

Lots of fun pillows!

The Foundation

This is a sneak peak at Lisa's house.
This is the basement that we painted. I wish I had a before picture. The walls were a dingy white green color. The big open space is for her pool table.

The upstairs main living area. Isn't the fireplace gorgeous? The front door is just behind it.

Kitchen- there is a lot of wood but it looks really nice all together.

This is the view! Amazing! The buildings below are the town of Rapid City. So pretty!

These little guys were all over the place. We also saw a bunch of deer. When we saw them I made Lisa stop the car so I could take a picture for Al. Then I said, "Are they wild?" She laughed her butt off and then responded, "no, they're someones pet." Hey I don't see turkey's everyday, I live in Vegas!

Shop, Shop, Shop til ya Drop

One of the have-to-do's while with either my sister or my sister-in-law is shop. My sister, Lisa, just moved into a new house so there was lots of shopping and decorating that needed to be done. She started with an amazing foundation she just needed to accessorize. This is the back end of Lisa's Yukon after Saturday shopping.

17 month old Bozo

Her favorite word(s) is No-No, it's awesome (not really)! I have 1 ornery little one. I am so not looking forward to the 2's. I feel like they have already hit, that's scary! Lauryn is still super fun, independent and crazy. We brought her slide inside a couple months ago and she loves climbing up and sliding down. She goes down all ways possible. She loves looking at books and her new favorite thing to do is climb up on our laps and get my brown fur blanket to cuddle with. Lauryn is an awesome sleeper. She sleeps 11 hours a night and takes a 3 to 4 hour nap. Lauryn loves to eat. We have yet to find something she does not like. We are having a harder time getting her to eat vegetables due to all the junk food she has discovered. We have a candy jar (Halloween candy) full, she always points to it and grunts. She is not talking much but we are really trying to get her to. Besides No, she says (that we can understand) Ma, Ma, Da, Da, more, eat, milk, and grunts. My favorite thing she does is give kisses. I bet she throws at least 20 kisses a day. My sweet girl.

Travels

I spent the weekend with this lovely lady, my sister Lisa. I flew up to Rapid City, by MYSELF, on Friday and returned Monday. We had a busy weekend of shopping and decorating. I/we had a great time. I have pictures to blog about our decorating in the next few days. Here we are in all our splendor. I keep telling myself, "I'll diet tomorrow", I can't believe how puffy my face is, so I really think I'll diet tomorrow will actually be tomorrow! Even though it's not a Monday. Seems like I always have to start a diet on Monday. I need to do something... Anyways, yes, I missed Al and the girls like crazy. He did an awesome job with the girls. I have to blog about that as well. We are getting back to normal this week. The weather is finally getting warmer. I'm getting excited to start yard work, go to St. Patty's Day Parade, and softball games. We have a KA-RAA-ZEE few months ahead!
