Yaaay! It's Spring, lets get outside.

Izzy and her little friend Maddie. They would rather play witht the dog toys than their toys.

Daddy and Izzy eating at the game. You can't go to a baseball game without getting a hotdog.

Prayer before the game.

She is getting to be such a big girl.

The black bear.

The Elk were amazing.

Well this month will go in the history of one of the worst months ever. I am feeling really sick from being pregnant. I just can't seem to kick it. Also, the Lord decided to take my Grandma to reunite with my Grandpa. I can't believe I lost both of them in such a short amount of time. It definitely leaves a void in your heart. My grandmother's passing was unexpected and has been very hard to wrap my brain around. It's definitely going to take a lot of time to get over. I miss you Grandma. Give Grandpa a hug for me.

Since the weather has been slightly nicer we have gotten out in the yard a little more. Izzy had her friend Maddie Rosipol over to play for a bit. Izzy is such a tomboy. She loves the dirt and being outdoors looking at all the bugs. We also enjoyed hte weather of the Nebraska vs. Creighton game. Mark Izzy and I went downtown to the new TD Ameritrade stadium to watch the close game between the two teams. Unfortunately Nebraska lost by 2 points, coming up from behind. Izzy did so well just hanging out with us.

A couple of weeks later we decided to experience the safari of Nebraska out on I-80. It was actually a neat experience and Izzy enjoyed the ride. The pelicans really tried to back up traffic.

This year was an awesome Mother's Day. We went and picked out all our flowers for the summer and got them planted to give our house a splash of color. So far so good......they are still alive. I enjoy planting the pretty flowers, but I get so frustrated when you do all you can and they just don't make it. We have little catepillers that eat the flowers in mid July. My goal this year is to treat the flowers so they last a little longer. I had a fun end to the day enjoying a fudgecicle with my daughter. What a GREAT day!

Talk soon, hope everyone is doing well.
