Easter #1 - Stanton

We spent Palm Sunday in Stanton complete with 4-wheeling, deck party, and an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's!

Going to the Circus

Tyler learned a circus song at preschool and I finally got him to actually sing a song on video for me - Enjoy!

Spring Break - Rest of the Story

The boys also just had fun at the hotel - they played, watched Frozen, and we of course went swimming.  This was Blake's first real swim and he loved it!  Our last stop out of town was a nature center, then it was on the road back home.

Spring Break - LegoLand

After pizza, movies, and watching the ISU Men's game in the hotel, we started out the next day bright and early at LegoLand!  Tyler and Andrew built a tower to withstand an earthquake, cars to race down ramps, road the two rides, viewed Lego Kansas City, and then both boys got to play with huge legos.  Lots of fun!

Spring Break - SeaLife

We took a late Spring Break trip this year as one of our first real family vacations as a family of 4 to Kansas City.  Tyler loved the drive because we let him rent Frozen from the redbox!  Our first stop in town was to eat at Blu Koi, a restaurant Andrew found on a Food Network show.  We then headed to SeaLife.  It was fun and the perfect size for the boys.

Basement Upgrade!

We moved into this house in June 2007 - since then, we have had about 4 different drawings, one contractor estimate, and a water pipe break.  But - we FINALLY have the basement almost done!  Big thanks to bro-in-law Matt Perkins and my husband for putting these up a few weeks ago.  I can't explain how happy I am to start putting stuff away! 



This is the far corner of the basement at it's worst when we had the water damage and were mid-way through painting.  We've since rolled the carpet back down and the far-end is my scrapbooking area with a futon for guests.  The middle is now Tyler's play area, and boy was he happy to have it back!




This is the area we now have cupboards in.  Think I'll have a problem filling the cabinets??  :)
