Playing Catch-up!

I am catching up from taking Monday and Tuesday off this week, so I am going to post about last weekend and this week. Ryan was on Spring Break, so he has been enjoying spending extra time with Brennen.

Last Friday night we headed over to our friends Matt & Rachel's house to watch the KU game.  Their daughter Harper who just turned one and Brennen had a blast playing together!

Playing with the loud ball popper during the game. The guys were not too happy about their choice of toy!

Enjoying the beautiful weather at halftime!

Saturday the weather turned cold again, so B and I stayed home while Ryan went out to the Sporting Kansas City game and then we all headed back over to Matt & Rachel's for the championship KU game.  It was a great game for the Jayhawks who are now the Big 12 champs....Rock Chalk! 

Sunday was St. Patrick's Day and we were hoping to go to the parade, but with rain/sleet and temps in the 30's there was no way we were getting out! 

We celebrated my birthday on Monday. I have entered the last year in my 20's!  I had an amazing day being spoiled by my boys.  Ryan brought B into bed to wake me up and hearing him say "Good morning, Happy Birthday Mommy" was one of the best gifts of all! We went to breakfast and went shopping, which if you know my husband is quite surprising!  We met my family for lunch then headed to Ryan's parent's for dinner.  It was a perfect day :)

At the mall!

We made a stop at Lowe's and B had no problem entertaining himself!

I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday! I am so lucky to have such an amazing family and wonderful friends. I am looking forward to the year ahead and to finding out what is in store for us!

Tuesday my mom hosted her annual Easter party for our family friends.  There were 15 kids and 9 adults. I always tell her she goes completely overboard, but the kids have so much fun and everything always turns out great! We colored Easter eggs, had a yummy lunch, hunted for eggs outside even though it was very chilly (around 40 degrees only) and enjoyed letting the kids play and the adults talk. It was such a fun day!

The whole group!

So proud of himself :)

Jackets & gloves were required to hide all the eggs...brrrrr!

And the little ones!

Yesterday morning while I was getting ready for work Brennen was fussing and moving around in bed, but I could tell he wasn't ready to get up.  When I told Ryan goodbye, I told him that I didn't see Brennen in his bed on the monitor, so he might want to get up and check on him. I was running late of course, so I didn't have time to go in his room.  When I got to work I texted Ryan asking if B was up or not and he sent me this pic...

Poor guy had gotten out of bed and fallen back asleep on the floor! 

Ryan got some of the new Boulevard beer that came out this week. Boulevard teamed up with the Roasterie and developed a Coffee Ale. I tried it and it was actually really good.  He read that it paired well with fresh doughnuts so he immediately wanted to make some.  I guess when he was little his mom would make him homemade doughnuts.  So, last night when we went to the store we purchased what we needed to make the doughnuts. I was pretty skeptical about how good they would be, but two doughnuts and 4 doughnut holes later, I was convinced. They were delicious!

Brennen wasn't too sure about all the sugar all over his mouth and hands, but other than that he loved them too!

I am so glad it is Friday, but we are supposed to be getting another winter snow storm this weekend. I just saw we could get 7-10 inches.  I really hope they are wrong!  I don't think mother nature got the memo that it is supposed to be Spring.

March Madness is officially here and my husband spent yesterday and today with two tv's in the living room flipping back and forth through all the games.  I was lucky to be able to get him away to go the grocery store last night, but then it was back to watching basketball until we went to bed. I am looking forward to cheering on the Jayhawks tonight!  Hope everyone stays warm this weekend and we see some warmer temps next week.  I am getting really tired of having to be inside all the time!
