Spring has Sprung!

Jillian is obsessed with "her " flowers and watching them grow. We bought our house from Brad's Grandma and she had flowers planted that we still don't know about until they pop up. Jillian loves watching for new ones and always wants to pick them-so I said she could pick the pretty yellow one:) We have alot of yard work to do this season and not sure if all of Grandma's flowers will survive the facelift so we'll enjoy them while we can.

Rainy Weekend
Jillian was supposed to have her picture taken on Saturday with the photographer that took our family photo and was very excited and had been practicing all week on her poses and smiles...needless to say things didn't go as planned and we ventured out in the rain to the Third Ward for nothing! Apparently she just decided she didn't want her pic taken and that was that-bribing even failed me! We had gotten lunch with Molly and finished with a little shopping at Anthropologie which can be quite dangerous. Met Molly out for dinner in East Troy with her sister in law which was nice and relaxing then went home and had a "sleepover" in the living room with Brad and Jillian. The rain put a damper(get it!) on taking any pics so no visuals with this post. Sunday has been pretty lazy with some laundry and grocery shopping thrown in between naps:) Yes Jillian has decided to take naps again-thank the Lord. Well hopefully this rain will stop sometime soon...most likely just in time to go back to work!

Fun Filled Saturday!

The weather today was beautiful and Jillian and I decided to take advantage of that. We started the day off by heading to Kids Fest at the fair park. We got off to a late start(as usual)and hit the crowds. There wasn't as much to do as I had hoped but we had fun anyway-ate lots of snacks including ice cream before lunch! We then headed to Maria's (Jillian's GodMother) and waited for Lindsay before heading to downtown Waukesha for lunch and window shopping. We enjoyed some gelato for dessert (yes-more sweets!) We walked to the park where the big girls could talk and the little one could work off some of that sugar:) Overall great day. Hope all my weekends off are this nice. In case anyone is wondering-Jillian's mouth was not on the play equipment:)

Jillian's Hotrod

Jillian received this pedal car from Papa (Brad's Dad) as a gift when she was baptised. It was hard to believe that she would ever fit in it and we had been storing it at Papa's house. He must have needed the room for some other things and Brad brought it home and it seems like just in time since she fits just right! I'm not sure it was meant to be played in since the paint job was done professionally but we can't tell her no now that it's at home...hopefully it won't get wrecked!

Easter Weekend...

Friday night we started out the Holiday weekend with coloring eggs. Jillian did very well with it and wasn't even very messy. I had to work my last shift in West Bend on Saturday but enjoyed Easter Sunday off. Jillian decided to wake up at 6:30 and was getting crabby by 2 or so but overall the day was good. We made it to church after hunting for easter eggs and easter baskets then went by Nana and Papa's for lunch (and chocolate cake- see pic!). We headed home for a nap then went to my mom's for dinner. We relaxed the rest of the night preparing for another long week ahead...working full time is very over-rated:)

Here's part of a very quick Easter egg hunt...she found them much easier than we expected!

On saturday we attended my sister in law's baby shower. She has about 6 weeks left and chose not to find out what she's having. I had a dream that she's having a girl (which would make the 4th grandaughter!- see above pic) I think it's funny that Jillian was holding the girl balloon:) We went to Stephanie's house afterwards and helped put some of the big stuff together and Jillian wanted to help then test it all out- she was way too heavy to do that though! Can't wait for baby Young to arrive!
