Mother's Day!

My day started out fantastic! I had two adorable kiddos and one amazing husband all right next to me!  Addison made me all kinds of cute gifts in school which she kept a complete secret! AND breakfast in bed! I don't think she is related to me and Bill!  We can NEVER wait to give gifts!!!  Landon had given me some adorable gifts on Thursday at school.  And flowers that he told me about before he gave them to me!   I hope they give me hand made gifts forever!  They are truly the best!  I have AMAZING kids!   We spent the morning at Great Falls National Park hiking and looking at cool waterfalls.  Then we came home and I played with my gift.....a new cricut explore!!  woohoo!  Happy cutting! Bill smoked some meat for a tasty dinner and because I was hanging out with my family, my world was perfect!  I am a happy and blessed Mommy!

Me and My Kiddos!

 There was a mommy and baby geese behind us!  So cute!

 My husband is amazing and always makes me feel special...even when it isn't Mother's Day!

 My boys with their purple pride!  I adore them both! 

 Great Falls National Park!  It was awesome! But we left before it was over crowded...we are still midwesterners who don't like to be smushed by people!! But we met some other MN people there...that is always fun!

Busy Tuesday!

April 29th- We had a busy Tuesday.  We were able to get tickets to tour the White House this morning!  It is something that my Dad had expressed interest in....and since that happens rarely we thought we should try and take a tour!  We had to go through the MN Congressman and it was kind of a process....so anyone visiting if you want to go to the White House plan in advance!

The White House was neat!  The kids had a good time and were well behaved.  It was interesting to find out that that entire place operates with a staff of 95 people!  I didn't think that seemed like that many considering what they have to do!

We left and it was raining....really hard!  So we were all soaked despite rain coats and umbrellas.  So we ran home to change and head back into Union Station to meet Bill's Mom and Dad!  They were coming through D.C. on their way to Jonathan's Wedding.  Landon had never met his Grandma and Grandpa so it was sure to be interesting!  It was actually the first time that my parents and Bill's parents met too!  It was nice to have them finally meet!  Everything went well.  Landon followed Addison's lead and had lots to chat about and many hugs to give!  I really am thankful that my kids are sweet and very outgoing.
