Girls time!

I was quite spoiled in April!  I started the month off with a trip to San Francisco with my best friend, Erin.  We spent three nights with no kids, no husband, and no responsibilities!  It was a fabulous weekend.  We did lots of sightseeing, lots of shopping, and LOTS of wine sippin'!  :)

Lombard Street...we walked to it.  





Giants Game!  Erin and I bought some tickets from a guy off the street.  Unfortunately, we were too excited to get into the game that we didn't notice the seats were not together!  Oh well....


People waiting for a home run! 

I have 1000 pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was so beautiful!




Nicholson Ranch Winery---it was my favorite of the day!


Madonna Winery--- second favorite! 

I ended the month with a girls weekend in Dallas.  I know, I know, I live 25 minutes from Dallas, but this was very different.  Several friends and I spent the weekend celebrating Marci, Pam, and Kristin's 30th birthday by spending Saturday at the Crescent Spa, laying out by the pool, having a nice dinner at Nick and Sam's, and ending the night with lots of dancing!  We followed with brunch Sunday morning just before heading back to reality.   For pictures, via Marci, check out the blog below.  I couldn't figure out how to get the pictures on here directly!

Easter 2011

Easter was very special this year, mainly because we had a wonderful church to worship at that was OURS.  Normally on Easter, we would either not go to church or go to a church that we had visited before but not this year!!!  We have a church, a home, that we looooove and it was great to have a place to really resonate on the meaning of the day.  After church I made a big lunch and Josh's sister Kim and Justin came over.  They were so sweet and brought Aiden a bunch of Easter goodies.  The Easter bunny also visited him before church so he was very spoiled that day!  Here is a recap of our Easter weekend!

Aiden and I spent Friday decorating cookies.  He didn't understand we had to decorate BEFORE we could eat them! :) 

Figuring it out...

Aiden's finished bunny!

NOW eat! 

Haha, I loved this.  He was definitely in a cookie coma!  

Easter bunny came! 

Bubbles before the egg hunt.

Checking out his goods

We just did an egg hunt in our backyard.  Unfortunately, Aiden missed the neighborhood egg hunt because we were out of town the weekend before.  He still had a great time finding "balls" with Coop!


When he finished finding all the eggs (balls as he would say) Justin and Kim would throw them around the yard again for him to pick up.  This never-ending egg hunt was very entertaining!

He was super pumped about ham for lunch!  He love it all! :)
