Birthday & Easter Update!

It’s been a while since I really updated and told you all about my life! So I am going to go on blog overload here with the pictures.

First an update...
March and April have been severely busy. Over spring break we worked on the front yard a LOT and then we finished it off over the 3 day Easter weekend. It looks really good compared to how it was when we bought it. We had someone put the stone in, but then we picked out the plants and planted them ourselves.

Another home update is painting the lime green bedroom and switching out 2 light fixtures. We had a really ugly one in the kitchen and an okay one in the dining room. So, we put the 'okay one' in the dining room above the kitchen table with some new, cute shades that match almost perfectly. Then we got a new chandelier that Casey surprisingly put up in one night. We love it. He was proud of himself because he is normally not so handy. :) I will post pictures of all this stuff later because this post is mostly filled with birthday pictures!

At the end of March, Casey went with Charlie on a ski trip. I asked Casey to take the disposable camera that we had, but he wouldn’t. However, when he got there, he realized that he would like a camera, so he bought one. He should’ve listened to his wife. Oh well. When we get those developed I’ll put some up. He only took 12 pictures so if I got them developed now it would be a waste. Anyway, Casey was skiing on my birthday which was April 2nd. So that night I went out with my mom, Rachel, Laura, and baby Aubrey to Olive Garden. It was good fun.

Casey got back late on the 3rd and on the 4th we went to III Forks for my birthday. It was fun and he gave me a North Face jacket, Fireproof DVD, and Britney Spears’ newest CD. Good times!

We also had a little birthday party with both of our families. We went to my grandparents house—Momma Sheila & Papa Donnie’s. I opened presents, ate cake, and Casey and I had an Easter Egg Hunt! They are money-filled eggs, which makes it even better! I scored $26 of the $36 dollars and that tells you who really won J After the hunt we went fishing! We had Maddie with us and she loved running around and jumping in the tank. She even ate a minnow.

This is me with my Momma Sheila, Pappa Donnie,
and Uncle Russell!

Since Casey was skiing, my Mom stayed with me and she took this picture the morning of my birthday!

Once Casey returned home we went III Forks and later opened presents! :)

I love this movie!! Thanks babe!


I was really stoked about the NorthFace jacket! Woo hoo! :)

We went to eat at Razzoo’s with Casey’s family on Sunday night (the 5th) for mine and Stephanie’s birthday (Casey’s sister). Her birthday is on the 23rd. April birthdays are truly the best J After Razzoo’s we went back to Casey’s parent’s house and ate Casa Linda Bakery cake! YUMMY! I got 3 of the candles for turning 23 and Stephanie got 9 because she turns 29!
