First Daddy-Daughter Date Night
2007
Aubrey was in Kindergarten...
Kaitlyn was in 5th grade
(that's Aubrey's grade now)

Kaitlyn doesn't go anymore and Aubrey probably won't want to next year.  Not many girls do once they get to junior high.  I hope they remember these very special nights with their dad.

Easter Sunday

Easter morning we were up early to attend the sunrise service at the lake.  We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the church, then hurried home to get ready for the regular church service and to see if the Easter Bunny had visited our house.  After church, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Powell's for dinner and another egg hunt with the cousins.  It was a beautiful, fun-filled day.

The first Easter egg hunt in our "new" house
meant all kinds of new places for the bunny to hide them!

Spring Break

     Wouldn't you know the week before the girls and I were on Spring Break the weather was gorgeous!  But I did manage to get a lot accomplished during those rainy days.  We went to Topeka one day to do some summer clothes/prom dress shopping.  Aubrey found some running shorts and capris she liked  (believe me when I say, this is a big deal).  Kaitlyn found a couple pairs of jean shorts and a new bikini. She really liked the first prom dress she tried on, but of course they didn't have the color she wanted and couldn't get it.  Fortunately, I was able to find exactly what she wanted on their website that evening and I got it cheaper because they were having a "First Day of Spring Sale" and free shipping online.    Score!

    The next day, I took the girls to get their pictures taken at Sears Portrait Studio in Manhattan.  I don't recommend it -- they were overbooked and understaffed.  It reminded me why we had stopped going there several years ago.....

     I also managed to get some projects and spring cleaning done --  You know, fun stuff like painting our bedroom, rearranging the food cabinet in the kitchen and scrubbing floors.  We also managed to stay up late every night and sleep in every morning -- loved that!

Painting our bedroom. 

 Clorox Oxygen Action + Toothbrush = Spring Cleaning "fun"
Who knew the grout was originally a terracotta color  --- eww!


And spring has sprung in our yard!




Happy Spring, Everyone!
