West Des Moines in May

We sure had a good time visiting Grandma LoLo and Grandpa Jim over in WDM this last weekend. Aunt Kim, Uncle Mike and cousin Lilly made it over too. We had fun being together, eating, drinking, playing outside, doing puzzles with missing pieces, watching Baby Einstein, seeing Cousin Ben and his girlfriend, the big kids going to Zombie Burger, playing roll the ball on the pool table and going for a golf cart ride. Hope that we can make it over again soon!!

Cinco de Mayo

Hi amigos! Hope you are all having a wonderful May. The first day of the month brought snow for us. It was the saddest thing to see but it is looking like 70s this week. We had our work convention last weekend and Grandma Lolo was with the boys. They had at great time a music class, HyVee and McDonalds. Not to mention all of the Toy Story, games, puzzles, books, playtime that they had! Roman has had a few colds and I did too. I hope that we are on our way to being tissue free. I better go so Andy and I can eat our chips and salsa! Monica

April Showers

Brings lots of snow and rain in Nebraska. This has been an interesting weather month so far. Currently as I type it is raining pretty hard. We had snow flurries last week and the week before hail. Enough where most people's roofs need repair. We still have to get ours looked at.

Roman started music class on Saturday mornings at Baby Maestro. Lilly goes too and they have a good time playing instruments, listening to music and dancing. The class goes for 10 weeks.

Bronson is just his three year old self. He is so lovey and sweet but challenges us quite a bit. Bedtime is a blast and sharing is my favorite part of parenting. : ) He gets so excited about the littlest things. He loves to go to HyVee for the free kids cookie. He just made a pile of toys and told me "welcome to my mountain of toys."

We have our work convention this coming week and it always is a good time. When you work hard you play hard! Will post pics. Take care. Monica

Last day of March

Good evening! Well today is the last day of month, Easter and our anniversary. We have had a great day with the boys. They were excited that the Easter bunny came and got plenty of goodies. We went to the park and for a little drive to pass some time. We ended the trip with slushies. Yesterday the weather was gorgeous and the boys even played in their water table. We hope to have more of those days soon.

My friend Chrissy came into town for 4 days with her son Eddie, and we did so much while they were here. Always good times and lots of drinks to support our nights. We went to the Zoo, drove to IA to see my mom, dyed Easter eggs, went to a paint class, saw the movie The Croods, caught a couple CU games and so much more. We always pick up where we left off. They were wonderful company.

Andy went Mexico and as always one of the boys came down with something. Roman had a respiratory infection and was a bit under the weather a few days. There are no other trips planned for April as we have our work convention coming to town. It will be a busy month. Andy got me a major shopping spree for our anniversary so I will have a new wardrobe soon. I am very fortunate to have the best husband and boys in my life. We are one fourth done with the year and I hope you have a great start to Spring!

Mid March

Hi friends and fam! We hope you are having a great month so far. I am sure you are aware that Andy and I have two favorite days this month... St. Pat's and our Anniversary! As you can see in some pics, Uncle Randy came to visit last weekend. His trip was cut a little short because of a snow storm that popped up. We had a good time visiting and the boys liked doing the E.T. finger to him. Everyone is doing well, with the exception of Andy. He has a slight neck injury that he is nursing. Hope he feels better soon. Roman is loving Elmo, Toy Story and starting to chit chat with us more. Bronson is such a good boy. He is getting a little scared around bedtime. He wants to go potty again, have a bowl of pretzels, listen to music, find every stuffed animal he knows, or snuggle. That's my favorite...I love three year olds! Have a great rest of your week. Here are a few snaps of ours. The last photo is Roman wearing Andy's neck collar. Goofy lil dude.
Xoxo Take care.

Early March

We are just excited to be in the month that Spring will officially be here! Also, Easter falls on our 6 year wedding anniversary! Looking forward to doing more things outside soon. The boys are getting over colds but still spunky as ever. Here are some pics over the last weekend. Never a dull moment (except when Roman is sleeping).
