Spring Break 2012 Part 1

This has been a crazy busy spring break for us so far. And it's all been planned for me, which is great! I haven't had to plan very many activities because we already had so much on our calendars for the week.

We started out with my aunt's 50th birthday party at Superior Grill on Friday night. My cousins babysat and it was a nice little break away for Jeremy & I.

On Saturday we had my neighbor McKenzie's (the little girl I keep) 3rd birthday party. It was a lot of fun with everyone in their green and hanging out with good friends. They had a huge bouncy house castle which entertained the kids pretty much all day. On Saturday night we went to a beautiful outdoor wedding for some family friends. It was so fun being able to wear tank tops, strapless dresses, john johns, and no tights!!

On Sunday we went to my inlaws for a cookout for all the March birthdays. My MIL, SIL, and husband all have birthdays within the same week of each other. It was a once again a nice hot day and we rode 4 wheelers outside with everyone for most of the afternoon.

Of course, I got no pictures of anything during the weekend and I hate that because it was all so much fun! But also very busy so I guess that's why I forgot my camera?

On Monday we went to the local park with our other neighbors. It was extremely hot and we went early! I don't know how we're going to be able to handle the summer with this weather so hot already!!?!!

I had to work all day Tuesday, but while they were at my parents house MR got ahold of some scisors and gave Carter a nice little bald spot in the back of his head ;)

Wednesday, we ran errands, went grocery shopping and cleaned house because we have MN relatives coming in town today. The kids played outside and had fun finger painting!

 Carter had more fun painting his belly...but whatever!

Jeremy bought a car from a co-worker he's planning on fixing up and re-selling, so the kids helped him clean it up.

 And then the kids and I made his favorite strawberry cupcakes for Jeremy to bring to work today to celebrate his birthday.

.....Happy 33rd Birthday Jeremy!! We love you!!

We have a fun filled next few days in store for us with out of town relatives here to celebrate my grandmother's 75th birthday. I can't wait!! More posts to come on that... I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break too!



5 years

5 years ago today I said "I Do" to an amazing man & father. It was a very cold day in Birmingham, with snow flurries coming down as we were leaving the reception. Over 500 guests witnessed our marriage at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. After, we danced the night away at Pine Tree Country Club to my cousin's band- Livewire. There were 12 bridesmaids and groomsmen, 1 flower girl, 1 ring bearer, over 30 out of town relatives and a lot of friends and family.  It is still by far the best day of my life and I would go back in a heart beat! Never have I ever felt more love and support from everyone around us. Thanks again to all of you. We will never forget all you guys did for us!!

We honeymooned on a cruise to the Bahamas.

7 months later we found out Maci Rose was on her way!

 And we became a family of 3!

And this is how she reacted when she found out momma had another baby in her tummy when she was only16 months old!

 We found out it was a BOY!

And became a family of 4.

 And these 2 babies are all we live, breathe and do these days!

These past 5 years have been the best years of my life! I wonder what the next 5 years will be like? Can it top the first 5? Maybe there will be more babies....who knows?? Happy Anniversary Jeremy! I love you more than words can say!

My New Toy

Yep, this is my new toy!! Jeremy gave me the Shark Navigator Vacuum for Vday and I have already vacuumed my whole house twice today. It is light weight and so easy to vacuum my stairs.

I never thought a vacuum would have been my ideal present but I've been using a vacuum with a broken off handle for almost 6 months now and I vacuum almost every.single.day.

 For those of you who already make fun of how much I clean, just wait till you see me now!!  Thanks Jeremy!!

32!!!

Happy Birthday to my amazing hubby who is turning 32 today!!

 You are such an amazing person and an even more amazing father!! I am who I am because of you. I love you with all of my heart and look forward to at least another 32 years with you old man!!

WE LOVE YOU,

Bonnie, Maci Rose & Carter
