april

so besides a trip to mexico early in the month,

we had a few other noteworthy events happen in april.

first - we (and by we, i mean my dad) planted an actual

garden at our house so we are going to be enjoying

all things vegetable. 

the girls are really into it and ronnie loves the idea, but

my dad is the main caregiver because ain't no one got time for that. 

cross your fingers we're going to get some good summer eatin' out of it. 

also - we can't forget about easter!

the girls and i had matching dresses that i ordered

last year but it was snowing so we couldn't wear them.

thank goodness they still fit, although we do not have a great 

photo in them, which really bums me out.

we went to church with my parents and aunts and then

headed back to their house for a lamb dinner. 

we did three different easter egg hunts and everyone got the girls

candy, so i'm pretty sure we'll be eating reese's eggs until july.

(which i'm totally down with)

since we've had our camper we normally go

memorial day, 4th of july, labor day and maybe one more time in august.

this year, since we're at a permanent site, we've been going a lot more.

we've already been twice in april and we're going twice in may. 

it takes a lot of work to pack everything up and get all the food, 

but it's such a nice time to get away and the girls absolutely love it.

i think they're going to want to go all time once the pool opens up.

also, since this is a permanent site, we want to buy some actual patio

furniture and hang some lights. 

i'm excited to set it all up and spend our summer there. 

the last week of april i went to austin for work.

i was gone 4 days, which is one too many, but i 

really did enjoy myself. 

we road on a private plane (because that's my life)

and had nice meals out. 

we even went out one night to see an 80's cover band play

and it was so much fun. 

it IS nice to be the "career" girl once in awhile, instead of 

"mom, she said shut up" girl.

(some really good fish tacos)

we're hoping for nice weather and lots of outside time through this spring. 

we have a lot going on in may and it's all fun!
