Easter Goods!


We celebrated Easter with my grandma on Saturday this year. We picked her up from her new home and brought her back to our house for dinner and some cake!


Bria got a new toy from Grammy & Grampy that she was super excited about! (she really was excited about it)


Sunday we went to church and got to spend the day with Shane's family. His mommy and Bowen being all cute!


Bryce searching for eggs!


Who's bright idea was it to bring the kiddos ring pops. . . . . .

Especially when their mommy wanted to get some cute family pictures . . . .
Oops!

So we had a fashion shoot with little Bowie instead!





We tried to take the remote away . . kid wasn't having it.





We did finally manage to exchange it with an egg though!

This was cute . . . Aly was looking through her Easter basket and Bryce just stood there and watched the entire time.


Bryce sporting her new shades:



Don had too much excitement for the day . . .


And later on we walked in on Aly reading Bryce a book. They were literally in there for a good 20 minutes just "reading" to each other.

Love this age!!

Love my family and God as well!! Thank you for a great Easter!

Mommy & Me QUAD : 100 Yard Swim



April 10th, Mommy and I continued our annual tradition (2nd year) of the QUAD by completing the 100 yard swim.


Last year we swam twice before the actual event (aka - went to the Y and talked in the pool). This year the QUAD had a swim program at the Y where you could go 4 times before the event and an instructor would help you out with what you needed to work on. We had such a blast and it really was helpful!


I learned how to go off the starting blocks (even though the instructor swear I already knew).


And I was able to swim the front crawl the entire 100 yards, where as last year I had to resort to the backstroke for about half (I couldn't breathe! I realize that 100 yards sounds like nothing, but you should try it!)


I finished first in my heat.


And I dropped a honkin 14 seconds off my time from last year! (1:27 to 1:13)
Not to make excuses, but I also just started doing Insanity that week too, so I'm pretty happy with my time!


Mommy getting ready!


And she's done! She's a quick one!


Mom dropped almost 30 seconds off her time from last year! I was so proud of her!


Mom trying to catch her breath, but me saying "smile"! She's such a great sport and I'm so blessed that we are able to do this together!

If you are interested, here is the website to sign up! It really is such a great program! You don't have to do all 4 events . . . . you can choose between swim, bike, run, and ski/snowshoe! And it's all different ages and fitness levels!
