Easter 2014

It was just this time last year that Cain was in TX at AIT. I was missing him dearly but we kept our spirits high knowing that the next year we would be together spending Easter with family.

And that's just what we did! Yesterday we made the trip to Cincinnati to spend the day with Cain's dad his wife and siblings! Even though we were there only for a few hours it was spent having a great time talking and playing some video games :)

This morning I woke knowing Cain was in the next room, I was so happy. I am so blessed this year to have my whole family together for a special day.

I am also so happy to be with my parents on these special days. Aren't they a good looking couple? I am so honored to have them as my parents and best friends.

We went to Church where Cain's Mom and Matt met us! Toni is a huge blessing in our lives. An amazing support and true friend. We are blessed!

This was Emma's first Easter and I'm so happy we got to spend the afternoon with her! 

HELLLOOO.... can she get ANY CUTER!??! 

Meet perfect.

So as you can see we had a great Easter of 2014 and who knows what next year will bring to be honest. But what I know is to be thankful for who and what you have in your live each and every year and to always treasure these happy moments together.

Yard work day 1

Today was a great day outside! I was so happy to walk out with some gym shorts and a hoodie and not be freezing! This has been a long awaited moment! Now it didn't last long, I ended up changing into some sweats before leaving to baby sit! But hey, it's a start!

So with the Wedding coming up in just 43 days it's time to get some yard work going! 

Because of all the rain/snow we got the last month made things a little bit more of a mess then normal. The acorns were out of control! 

out. of. control!

But thankfully Cain is a great groom and started getting things back in order. Along with Landon who was so kind to help us! Yes, us... I was out there too! After I took some pictures that is :)

Nova gets pretty scared at about everything. This is her hiding behind the tree.

 You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.. .you make me happy when skies are gray... :)

Soaking up the sun.

I have been babysitting all afternoon and evening but should be able to head home shortly. I wish I could have spent more time today helping the boys but I know there is a lot of other wedding things that I've done that Cain hasn't been able to help with due to his school hours. But honestly Cain has been the best of help. I run every little thing by him and he always has great input and ideas. I couldn't of done this planning without him!

My mom also has been a great support! We all went over the list of "things to do" and it's so short we were so excited! We have so many people helping us that it's taken most of if not all the load off of us. Could not be more happy with all the support! It's nice to know people want to make our day special by lending a hand.

Though I wish the next 43 days were already gone.... I've enjoyed these months preparing for the Wedding and I have loved the engagement stage :) But don't get me wrong, I can't wait to be married!

Graci gives bath to Nova

Graci is a big help around the house when she is here. There is nothing I could ask her that she wouldn't do, or try to do! When my dad is around he will ask her to help with yard work. She jumps up and runs out with him to help!

Well Nova had gotten a bit muddy and without me having to even ask (Because I wouldn't of thought to ask) Graci said she would give Nova the bath.

Graci has seen me do this before and Nova listens very well so when I saw Graci go into the bathroom and say "Nova got muddy I'm giving her a bath" I knew that she could handle it. I grabbed my camera and watched her do her thing.

These two together just gets sweeter and sweeter. I'm not sure how Nova will do once Graci is at school this fall... let alone how I'll do! 

She is the biggest blessing a person could have asked for in life.

I was so excited when Holly messaged me about having Kalvin's pictures taken!

Kal was a trooper through the whole session. He was being such a big boy sitting in the chair all my him self, of course with mom close by! Enjoy these pictures and remember all of April, kid's pictures are 50% off!
