He’s Home!!

Man I’m getting so bad at blogging lately. My phone was overloaded with pictures so I knew some blogging had to be done!

A couple of weekends ago, Hans and I were able to go to youth conference together and experience it together with the youth. We had a lot of fun! They went to a women’s shelter in Baltimore to help restore it by helping with yard work, clean and restore houses, and donate paper products and more.

We worked with a group to repaint a basement floor.

These are our Young Women :) The leaders on on the ends. Although we don’t look much older… haha

Casey and I

We got SO sunburned.

Last Thursday my brother came home from his 2 year mission that he served in New York! We hadn’t seen him for 2 years!

We flew into Denver the same day he did. We got there an hour or so before his plane landed in Denver.

Hahaha. Oh, my sister…

They were all cute, while I was in my traveling clothes. With airport waiting time included it takes like 8 hours from Maryland… yuck!

My parents are so cute!

getting ready for him to come up the stairs!

We were quite the sight :)

And here he is!!!!!

Awwww my brothers are so cute. Reunited!!

Siblings all together :)

We had a lot of fun just hanging out with each other last weekend! we went to Cameron’s track meet, he did really well!

Family shopping trip, we found a baby bunny!

The boys went out for wings together

For Skyler’s homecoming open house with lots of help, I made these cute cupcakes.

Sky can’t make a serious face to save his life!

                    

We left on Tuesday morning, the trip was way too short.  But we are so glad Sky is home, and he has hardly changed at all!

Here is Cam, shoveling the driveway for us to go to the airport :)

Yesterday we went to the Maryland science center and we explored Baltimore a little bit. We had fun! It was such a nice day outside :)

   

It was SO bright outside!

 

So that’s what we have been up to lately ! :)

Easter and more!

Wow, it’s been a while! I’m starting to go longer and longer between blog posts. I’ve been surprised at how busy life has gotten lately! I hate that this has become such a chore, but it has, and I’ve had to write it down on my “To Do” list.

We’ve been having fun spending time with each other :)

Babysitting a lot!

French braided her hair :)

We watched cute Trae while our friends were having their new baby boy! :)

Went to the Baltimore aquarium with friends, but I only took 2 pictures!

On Easter we hid each other’s Easter baskets like we usually do, and I made lots of fun desserts that day!

Cinnamon roll bunnies for breakfast :)

Little chick cupcakes

We had Easter dinner with friends :)

 

I made brownie Carmel cheesecake. It was SO GOOD.

Hans and I decorated Easter eggs together that night.  Did you know you can poke a hole in the top and bottom of the egg and then blow the egg out of the shell? We do this every year, because then we can keep our decorated eggs and bring them out every year!

Our Easter egg family :)

My Sister Krista made these cookies and then sent me a picture of them. How cute!

My birthday was this last week! I slept in, opened presents, Hans came home from work early. He took me to lunch and a movie, with a little shopping in between. Then We went to dinner at Olive Garden with Liz and Dru, and after Liz and I painted nails together. It was a good day :)

We loved watching conference this weekend! We drove to Virginia and spent some time with our family, the Westergards!

Megan and I with our princess stickers :) And… I only got one picture of us there :(

On Sunday we had some friends over for a big breakfast before the first session of conference (a tradition for us!). And we just enjoyed the rest of our day relaxing :)

And that’s about all I have for now! My brother comes home from his mission in less than 2 weeks! We are so excited to be able to see him again and give him lots of hugs :) And It’s been getting warmer around here, it looks like the summer will be coming fast!
