Angelina Turns 4

Angelina is Colton's second cousin. She is the blond with the pig tails in the top picture. She had her 4th birthday at Bounce U. She was so excited and screamed all her friends' names as they entered the place. Colton was a bit of a Momma's boy for the first hour. All the different faces scared him. But eventually we hit the slide, bouncy rooms, and he seemed to finally enjoy himself. Bob, Colton and I went down the super high slide. I can't tell if Colton is happy or in shock in this picture.

Play Date Friday

I was able to take advantage of one of my Friday days off and visited with my friend Christina. She had arranged a play date with one of her local mommy friends. We watched the boys play in the ship filled with water. Colton loved splashing. We went on a little walk in a wagon around the neighborhood and we played with toys. It really is a necessity to get together with friends and other kids. Makes the day so much more fun.

Our Little Man

Colton is just chilling out in the backyard on a beautiful day.

Gram's 90th Birthday

We traveled into the Burgh for the Easter weekend to celebrate my Gram's 90th birthday. My dad's side of the family came in from all over - my cousin Ryan even flew in from Oregon. It goes to show how much our Gram means to all of us. Her influence has kept us all together so closely. Pictured above are her kids (my dad, Aunt Charlene, and Aunt Marilyn) and her niece Pam (in the middle).

Egg Coloring Chaos

It really wasn't chaos, but it was a mess. All the cousins joined in on the fun as we colored eggs before all the weekend festivities.

Easter Pregame

Since we were going to be in the Burgh for the holiday, Mary & Bob invited us to their Easter celebration with Mary's family the week prior to Easter. It was fun to watch the kids play games like we used to play. Pictured above is the egg race on the spoon. Later they searched all over the house for the eggs. Next year Colton will be right up there with them.

LC's Bridal Shower

Lauren Cohen AKA LC (pictured in the middle) will be getting married on May 21st and Brian and I are looking forward to a fun evening out with just the two of us. It was great to get to see former colleagues Melanie and LC. We had lots of fun working together for many years. Come back at the end of May to see how gorgeous she will look on her special day.
