Easter

Our family had such a great Easter. We spent the morning at church then had brunch with grandma and grandpa. The evening was spent with my side of the family and we whipped up some tasty fajitas!!
Kinsey absolutely HATED her dress at first. She was intent on ripping the bow off the front. She settled down after awhile and other than it slowing her down a bit on her climbing she tolerated it.
She scored BIG on the baskets and walked away with lots of clothes, sidewalk chalk, coloring books and colors, refrigerator letter magnets and bubbles!!!
God has blessed our family so much and HE IS RISEN!!!!!

Yard Yard Yard

When we bought our new house we knew we were going to have to put the ENTIRE yard in. In the beginning that was something that sort of appealed to us. We wanted to do it all ourselves. Well that thought has gone quickly and now we know what a real pain it is. We started with a dirt field and though the pictures do not really look like it we have made quite a bit of progress. First was the well. Now that we have a well we dont have to use city water to water the grass. Then came the sprinkler system. We knew we were doing sod so we knew we pretty much had to have a sprinkler system. We have outlined all of our landscaping and flower beds and Josh has 2 of the fours areas lined out and mulched off. Then came the trees. We have planted 2, although another will come after everything else is done. Our plans are to actually do all of the shrubs and decorative flowers/plants after the sod is down. We had planned to do the sod last weekend however due to all of the rain on Friday we were unable to do a final grade of the yard in order to actually lay it on Sat. UNFORTUNATELY we have to wait another week and a half on the sod. POO....oh well. Im getting a little sick of living in a dirt field so grass cannot come soon enough.
I am so ready for Kinsey to run and play in the yard......Patience I tell myself....Patience.

Weekend Trip

Last weekend the Peters headed up the KC for a weekend getaway. We spent the weekend at my Aunt and Uncles house. That was exactly what the Dr ordered. My brother and his girlfriend came too and it was absolutely amazing to just relax and have some fam time over the two days we were there. We arrived in time for Kinseys third (I believe.....) cousins 1st birthday party. Little Harleigh was a perfect birthday princess and got showered with tons of gifts. That evening my aunt prepared delicious pork burritos and of course some tasty margaritas to go along with it. We all went to bed early and woke early to enjoy a delicious brunch and KU basketball in the afternoon. We headed home late Sunday afternoon. We ate a ton, chatted a ton and just relaxed.
Kinsey kept busy going up and down up and down and up and down the stairs. She quite the pro now. They also had an old rocking chair that entertained her for the majority of the time. I was secretly a little excited to share a room with her because I really wanted her to sleep with us in bed. WRONG. She tossed and turned and tossed and turned all night. At one point her butt was on my head. YIKES! Nonetheless she slept great.....mommy not so much.
Oh well....Thats the life of a parent. Enjoy some pics and have a great day!
