Wrestlemania, spring and 30ish

Okay, I know it is April, but I am just catching up with March so bear with me! We celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style, green hair, green beads, green clothes and green milk and mint chip ice cream to top off the night.


Jeremy's brother and his family were "back home" for a few days a couple of weeks ago. Jeremy and his brother have started a tradition of going to the NCAA wrestling tournament each year and this year it happened to be in Omaha. Carter had a blast playing with his only cousins and Claire held her own with all the boys! We all got to enjoy some wrestling action during the 3 day tournament even though the stomach flu hit the house! Uncle Al even got to escort one of the weight classes on the final night and hand out the trophies to the winners. We had so much fun and hated to see them go!

The kiddos plus Uncle Al playing a mean game of twister!

Amazing Pizza Machine ROCKED!

Spring has finally sprung in Iowa and the kids and I enjoyed our first picnic of the season last week. It actually got a little too warm ( I can't believe I am saying that) for March with the temperatures hitting 84 here on Wednesday! Carter was able to dust his bike off and has set a goal for himself to get the training wheels off this summer. Claire can almost reach the pedals on Carter's old John Deere tricycle.



Lastly, I turned 30ish at the end of the month. Jeremy and the kids took me out to dinner and my co-workers spoiled me with treats. I spent the weekend scrapbooking at Walnut Place retreat in Valley Junction with some friends. I couldn't have asked for a better 30ish birthday! Here are some photos of me through the years, all I have to say is what was I thinking?

3 months

4th or 5th grade I think? I must have been in love with Elvis??

8th grade

Gotta love the rolled jeans, rolled shirt and button flys! Funny, my hair still looks the same in this picture as it does today!
We are spending Easter weekend with my family. My cousin and her family from Minneapolis are coming to town for the weekend. We are going to hit up some Easter egg hunts, dye eggs and spend the night at the new indoor water park in town. Claire tried on her swimsuit to see if it would fit...think I can get her out of the snowboots before she hits the pool? Happy Easter!

Happy Belated 30th. I remember when I turned 30, can't believe that was almost 4 years ago. Great pictures. I'm working on getting Easter pictures on our blog, we spent in Henderson. Logan had a blast with grandpa Steve.

ROFL at your 8th grade pic! I would have been totally jealous of your bangs back in the day.
