Happy Mother's Day!

I was thankful I got to spend Mother's Day with my Mom and was also spoiled by my boys! I think being a Mother is wonderful.  Everyday these boys bless me with laughter (and anger) that I otherwise wouldn't have. 

12 months old- LAST sticker shoot!

I can't believe we've done 12 of these, but he was ready to be done.  He had it ripped off in between each shot :)
Happy Birthday, Callen! Can't believe you're 12 months old already :)

Callen's 1st Birthday!

 I went with the construction theme, and it turned out great!  Megan was great help, I'm thankful she was there to help me with everything.  Callen loved the attention, the cake, and the presents! We had a house full of family, but Grandpa Albert was on a fishing trip.

Time for a bath!

Sioux Falls Zoo with Aunt Megan

Megan came out to celebrate Callen's Birthday, and we got to take a trip to the zoo right before!  Mark had to work, so it was just the 4 of us.  We had a great time, the kids really enjoyed it. 

Easton found Kevin! (Disney Movie- Up!)

Parents only trip in pursuit!

My cousin Anna and I had talked about taking a trip together for a couple years, pretty much since our last one!  At first it was just a girl trip, but then we decided to take along our husbands :) We were lucky to score a condo on the beach FREE of charge!  Long story short, a family friend that my brother works for let us stay there! It was amazing, and I think I found my retirement spot.  I wish I could go back every year.  The sound of the ocean, the smell of the salt water, and the warmth of the sun and the sand between my toes was all I needed!  But we threw in some wonderful food, great company and of course shopping! It was awesome!!  Sarasota, Florida was beautiful I can't wait to go
back!

Airport Travel- I look very happy, but I did cry when we left the kids ;(

The view out our bedroom window!

Tiki Bar

We got so burned the first day that the guys picked us up these beach pants! And we had to sit under the umbrella ;( But we still had a blast!

Beach life

 We walked the beach daily and had so many great conversations! It was just the best!

 Our condo

 We had so much fun at Salty Doggs!

 Last night on the beach!
