April Birthdays are AWESOME

Without meaning to toot my own horn... oh wait, yes I am. April birthdays are the best! We started off the celebrations with Nix, 3 days later his itty bitty baby cousin Kamryn was born (Happy Easter!), then Marilyn's is the 24th, and we round out the month with... no one other than... ME on the 25th! Marilyn and Kirsten planned a little trip out to Calgary to see the new babies and we had a fun BBQ at Stacey's on Marilyn's birthday. We had so much fun seeing everyone and hanging out with the fam. Deakon and Brodie (6 months apart) ran around like wild indians and had a blast. Besides the INCHES and INCHES of naughty snow, it was a fantastic night.

Nana and Nixon- he was totally into her! Check out that stare:

It was great to see you guys! Please come again :)

Sunday morning I was sooooooooo looking forward to sleeping in, but alas, Kyle had to run to the church for an hour and a half first thing to shovel snow. BOO... oh wait, am I allowed to boo part of somebody's calling. I say yes. BOO AGAIN. I am still bitter about not getting my sleep in. Anyway, Kyle came home and gave me my birthday present. A new sony camera. Sweet! I am still trying to figure out the dumb settings though so tons of my pictures are NOT turning out... maybe I should just stop being lazy and read the dumb instructions. Decided to take some pics of Nixon at 3.5 weeks:

Doreen took Deak to church and Kyle and I got to chill and have some alone time... sad when alone time includes a small child. We had a fabulous dinner with roast, mashed taters, broccoli with it's infamous cheese sauce, and white cake with lemon icing. SO GOOD! I asked Kyle, followed by Bret to take some pics... let's just say there are some really good reasons why there aren't more... this was the best one even though Deakon isn't even looking and it def isn't the best angle for my beaver teeth:

Bret and Eva and Doreen got me yummy flowers:

And last, but definitely not least... SPIDERMAN:

Thanks for the wishes, calls, texts, gifts, and love for my entrance into the quarter century club!
