April!

As usual April has come and gone in the blink of an eye. We have had a great time starting with Easter. We had a great day with both of our families, Alexis of course, was spoiled by everyone.


Easter Sunday we had a surprise waiting for us at my parents house. Nicole and Dyrk announced that they were engaged. We were so excited for them. We then switched into high gear as we started to plan the wedding that they had set for 19 days later! Most of the rest of the month was taken up planning and preparing for the wedding. I learned how to do many new things through this quickly put together wedding, first went on a one day marathon shopping trip where we picked up all the supplies we would need from the city, then I learned how to make the traditional wedding reception cream cheese mints, then made a few flower arrangements, and before we knew it we were decorating the church for the wedding. The three weeks were a major blur. In the end it all turned out beautifully!


We also had a great time getting to know our new niece a little better. She is such a doll!


Alexis is still in the training stage of potty training. We have good days and bad, but things are starting to finally go a bit better. She is becoming more and more independent with each passing day. Sometimes it is hard to believe that she is so young and knows exactly what she wants. It is fun to hear all the new things she says and how she views life. We are having fun with her every day. She is also getting excited for the new member of the family to get here. Depending on the day she is ready to be a big sister. Hopefully that will turn into a more definite yes as the day gets closer.


I have been spending part of my time at home with Alexis, which is wonderful!! The other part of the time I have been substitute teaching in Alamosa and Monte school districts. That has been a very interesting job. Hopefully it will help me find a teaching job soon!

Chris has been enjoying the slower time of the year for his company. He is still usually pretty busy but not traveling quite as often. He will start running all over the place again in May so we will not see much of him for a little bit. He is loving his job though, which is wonderful!
Hopefully there will be more updates, much more frequently a time goes by.
