Enjoying the sunshine

Nothing too exciting has been going on lately. We are just enjoying being together as a family and all the sunshine we have been having! The snow is melting very fast and the days are very long now.
It has been so nice getting outside and playing. Nothing like some sunshine and fresh air to wear out the kids. The temperatures have been in the 40's which oddly enough is pretty warm. Warm enough to not need a jacket and make the kids want to run around bare footed.
We have been hiking allot behind the house. Lance likes to pretend we are on a bear hunt. He likes to lead the way and be the guide. He carries a stick in case we see a bear. Daddy is always close behind with his 44 pistol strapped to his chest, because the possibility of seeing a bear is pretty high. We make sure to make lots of noise while we walk so we don't surprise any animals.
Andrew got approved for all his vacation so we are planning fun stuff to do when family comes. My parents will be here in less than a month!!! Lance is super excited to have his papa come visit! Then in June grandpa and grandma Conway will be here with Uncle Tim. We can't wait for visitors!
Lexie is still doing perfect sleeping through the night in her panties! So I think it is safe to say "we are 100% out of diapers!!!"
The kids and Andrew planted a garden on our deck. Not sure how it will do, but they sure had fun playing in the dirt.
This past weekend was my friend, Bonnie's birthday. I made a big dinner and her, her kids and Vanessa (a close friend of both of ours) came over for a birthday dinner. Bonnie is moving in a couple weeks and her husband is gone so I wanted to make her feel extra special. We had a good time chatting and eating lots of yummy food. The kids loved spending time together too. Bonnie's daughter, Elana, is Lance's best friend. I have not been able to tell him that Elana is moving away. I started to once and he got pretty sad so I changed the story so he would be ok. I know that is horrible, but I just don't know how to tell him without crushing him! I think I am going to have her FaceTime him and tell him herself and explain that FaceTime will be how they will get to see each other when she moves. That's the best idea I got.
Pampered Chef is gearing up for help whip cancer next month so at our meeting last Monday we all dressed up in pink. I even added some hot pink lip stick to complete my look. It was lots of fun seeing everyone in all their pink get up.
Last night some of us Pampered Chef girls and a few supportive husbands went out to celebrate the recent promotions. Andrew enjoyed meeting all the other gals. I just enjoyed being out with my honey and showing the girls my sweet husband.
Life is good. God is so good and continues to bless us with new friends, the changing seasons and just life in general!
