Springtime

Spring has sprung, with the exception of the storm this weekend. Last weekend we celebrated Olivia's first Easter! It was a lot of fun and she looked SOOOO cute in her Easter dress! She got lots of fun new clothes, pajamas, dresses, sandals, bubbles, toys, puffs, a new swimsuit, sunglasses, headbands, books, and her first pair of Toms!

We also celebrated my Birthday on the 9th. I share a birthday with our friend Tecey so we went to dinner at TGI Fridays the weekend before with some friends for mine. Then on Monday we went to dinner at Mcgrath's for his. We've never been there before and I was sooo excited because I LOVE seafood! So we got started with this crab artichoke dip that was sooo good and halfway through the dip I found a SCREW in the dish! Yep a short, fat, self tapping screw baked right into our dip. I mostly just wanted to laugh because something like that never happens to me haha. We called over the manager and I tried to be serious and mad but it took everything out of me to not laugh. He was very nice and they paid for our meal, brought us a new dip, and gave us a gift card for next time. I still can't believe I got screwed at Mcgraths on my birthday :)

A few weeks ago Mckell and I took Liv and Gavin to the zoo! It was Olivia's first time and she seemed to really enjoy it! At first she kind of didn't know what to think until we saw the giraffes. They were really close and she just started going crazy! she also really liked the monkeys and gorillas. And she loved the train! I can't wait to take her back when they finish the polar bear exhibit!

This last weekend I went to the What a woman wants Expo with my sister Jess and friend Kerri. I really wanted to bring Liv for all of the cute little girl boutiques, however Matt insisted she stay home in case there were any "nut jobs" there...he must have had a sixth sense :D It was pretty fun though, I got a bunch of free stuff, some cute jewelery and a free microdermabrasion treatment. We also did some much needed spring cleaning to our apartment this weekend. The complex we live in is remodeling all of their buildings and of course they decide to start with ours. Its definitely been an annoying/dirty process. We got all new windows to enjoy the beautiful view of scaffolding, plywood and sheets that surrounds us. Thank goodness they are almost done and it actually looks pretty good. Since we brought Olivia home from the hospital, we haven't had full access of our bedroom. Her bassinet and pack and play were right next to our bed until she started sleeping in her crib. Just in time for them to start construction and we had to move everything away from the walls and windows. Now that that is done we finally got to move everything back and I forgot how much extra space is in our room. Now we have so much extra room for activities! I keep telling Matt that the bassinet and pack and play will look really good in here with a new baby in it. He just laughs... We'll see :) Happy Spring!
