Spring Break

Well it's been awhile since my last post but I have lots to say this time!  Things have been going great lately! We've been pretty busy with school and Kevin's semester was coming to an end...lucky...so he was studying a lot.  My spring break just happened to fall the week before his finals so he had to spend a lot of time studying.  All I wanted to do was play and have fun but he didn't have much time to do that so I ended up spending a lot of time with my mom and sisters.  I hardly touched my homework and it was the best thing EVER!  I got a stupid sinus infection towards the end of the week so it ended kinda crappy but I still enjoyed sleeping in and doing a whole lot of nothing!  Kevin's semester ended last week and he did great on his finals, what a smarty pants!  He got a job at Fall's Fertilizer and will be working there full time for the summer and we are so thankful he got that job, it was a great blessing and just what we needed at the time.  My semester doesn't end until the first of May so I'm still chugging along doing homework and all that lame stuff that takes all my time haha.  We are very excited to have the summer to work and play and we are LOVING this warm weather!

We decided to play an April Fool's joke and it was pretty good I have to say.  On my facebook I posted "Guess who's gonna be a mommy?!" and Kevin posted "Guess who's gonna be a daddy?!"  Throughout the day we had people texting us and commenting on our statuses, telling us congratulations.  At the end of the day we finally updated our statuses and said "April Fools, we're not going to a mommy or daddy".  Neither of our siblings really believed us because they figured we would tell them before we told everyone on facebook (which is true) but we got lots of other people.  The best part was that my aunt Stephanie in Georgia commented on my status saying congratulations and that I would be a great mom.  Then she called my grandma Reese and told her I was pregnant.  Now my grandma was not very happy because we had just been at their house for Sunday dinner and she couldn't believe we hadn't told anyone. She called me and proceeded to tell me about her conversation with Stephanie and I just had to laugh.  I told her it was an April Fool's joke and she was appalled haha.  She told me that she better not have to find out over facebook and I promised her that she wouldn't.  It was so fun! We have to come up with an even better one next year!  Oh and all the credit goes to Kevin for this one, it was all his idea haha. 

Well here's a little run down of my spring break adventures..

Mom and Wayne babysat for Natalee and Adam for a few days.  I went out there one afternoona and we took the boys on the 4-wheeler.  Austin has loved the 4-wheeler since birth so he's always anxious for a ride.  Brody was itching for a ride like his brother go to do so I took him down the street and back.  Grandma was a little nervous..

One night Kevin and I went to Cal-Ranch...my least favorite store haha...looking for work boots for him.  He decided instead to try on cowboy hats.  It kinda looks like he's wearing an earring too haha.  I think I'm glad he doesn't wear those types of hats.. :)

 On Monday of spring break I babysat Natalee and Adam's 2 boys Austin and Brody for a few hours...it was an adventure!  Brody is so mild compared to Austin so it's fun to have one on one time with both of them.  Brody is starting to talk and his little voice is so cute! He loves his blanky and rolls around in it all the time.  Austin was sick that day and didn't want ANYTHING to do with me.  He just wanted his mom and I felt so bad for him.  He finally realized that I was the only person home and decided he would lay on the couch by me, but I couldn't touch him haha.  He is growing up so fast and says the funniest things. 

 Kevin has been trying to watch all the March Madness games he can and this is pretty hard since we don't have any channels at all, even local ones.  We were at my parents one night helping move furniture for their new carpet and wood floors to be laid and Kevin decided to catch the end of the one of the games.  Their TV was covered to protect it from the dirt and dust, hence the table cloth he is hiding under haha.  He ended up getting 1st place in the league with my family (I got 4th) and 2nd place in his family's league.  Go Kevin!!

We got to babysit Summer for a few hours one night and to entertain her while Kevin was studying, I painted her fingers and toes...she's such a girl haha!  It was really hard to get her to hold still for a picture.  She likes Kevin a lot and loves getting his attention.  She wanted to watch Thomas on Netflix so I told her yes and Kevin said no, so she looked to me for help and we both just laughed.  Kevin had a church basketball game that night so Summer got to go for the 1st half.  She would yell, "Go Kevin (she says it like Kenin) Go!" For everyone else on the court she'd yell, "Go people!" She's fun to have around and is always saying funny things.

Well needless to say, Spring break was an adventure. Kevin's birthday is coming up and I'm so excited to give him his present!  I'll be posting again soon...hopefully!

What we've been up to!

We spent Labor Day weekend at Meadow Lake camping with Grandma and Grandpa Reese and my sister Natalee and her family.  We had so much fun!! We set out on our first 4 wheeler ride and had so much fun exploring.  It was our first time up there and it beautiful!

Adam and Austin (who loves the 4 wheeler).  He's the only kid I know that falls asleep while on a ride. 

There's tons of old mines up there that you can get to on a 4 wheeler.  Kevin tried to convince me to get in this one but I said NO WAY because there were probably bugs and all sorts of crawling things that would get me. 

Kevin and I went on a hike one afternoon and he was exhausted so we had to take a break so he could sit down haha jk honey!  It was more of a nature walk and not hard but the view was great right here and it was warm...kind of..

This mischevious squirrel got up on our table and into grandma's delicious rice crispy treats.  He also enjoyed the Cheetos Kevin and I fed him. 

Natalee, Adam, and Austin (Brody stayed at camp with grandma and grandpa)

So one day I had this genuis idea that we should go golfing and use the gift card I got Kevin for his birthday. I tried to convince Kevin that I was better than him but he didn't believe me and we have plenty of witnesses to side with him haha.  We had lots of fun laughing at my golf skills, or lack there of, and I proved that Pine Crest is not the place I should golf, at least until I get some practicing in. 

Kevin won the award for best golfer that day...at least out of him and I. 

 Our cute, $10 Christmas Tree! Kevin did most of the decorating and it turned out great!

We were both very excited to open presents! Kevin had one box that was really big and was getting the best of him!

I caved!

Well...I caved and decided it was time to join the world of blogging.  Kevin and I are enjoying married life, it's been quite the adventure!! We tend to keep very busy with school and working but date night is VERY important, even if we're sitting on the couch watching one of our shows! Oh the joys of being poor and married, but we couldn't be happier!
