Fun at the Park and setting up the Christmas Tree

Lil Angel's 2012- Madison and Parker

We have Grass

We now have a yard.   Once we get our blinds put into place, I think it will feel like home.... well, at least until we completely unpack. 

Finishing Touches on the New Home

The kids and I went to visit our new home and see some of the final touches.   It was nice seeing them excited about their new rooms and explore the house.   Still some work to do, but it is coming together quickly.

Landscaping has begun

I have a feeling we'll see a lot of this

Almost finished..

15 year Anniversary trip

To celebrate our 15 year anniversary, Darin and I went to the Riviera Maya in Mexico and stayed at the Rosewood Hotel. We arrived on Saturday, May 19 and the weather was beautiful. We rode on a boat to get to our suite. Then, we got settled into our deluxe lagoon suite, "our house" for the week. "Our house" was amazing, connected to it was own hot tub or pool, we had it as a hot tub, sitting area with snacks and butler service, in-door and outdoor showers, master suite and so much extra space. We were definitely spoiled. We enjoyed Mayan cuisine and even had some amazing Thai food at a neighboring resort. Our time was relaxing and enjoyable, no time constraints, just spending much needed time together. Absolutely amazing. We spent some time in Playa-de Carma for some shopping and wonderful candlelight meal on a balcony. We also celebrated our anniversary dinner in the wine cellar at the Rosewood. Our original plan was to have dinner on the beach, but the weather was very  unpredictable and they decide we should have the meal inside. It was raining and windy most of the week we were there, except the last day, which was super sunny and warm. Darin and I had a wonderful time together. Happy Anniversary!

Parker's New Haircut

On Saturday, I took Parker to get his haircut at Sports Clips.   Jen had trusted me to "make the right decisions".    So I dressed PBR up in a Suh Jersey, it was the NFL draft after all, and we headed out the door.  Parker did a great job.  He initially started to get scared when cape was put around his neck, but stylist, Jessica, did a great job calming him down.   She gave him a sucker and talked him through the whole thing.   Each time she did something, she did it on his stuffed dog, Blue, first, which put Parker’s mind at ease.   Below are some pictures of the process.   There is the before, some during and an after. 

Happy Easter!

It was a beautiful weekend to celebrate. The kids had an Easter egg hunt on Sunday. We had 130 eggs for them to find. Yes, Darin thought it was a bit much. "Jenn, that's 65 eggs each." After the hunt we open Easter baskets then went on a walk to Sonic. The weather was amazing and we had a great weekend!
