March Madness

Sadly, I had to ask Tucker what March Madness meant. Now that I know it's about basketball (boring, who cares!) I think the title better fits my blog!

It really was a great month, with lots of goings on. Starting with Riv's 5th birthday and ending with a really fun reunion! And here's all the in between...

River's 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese

My cousins and I and our kids love to get together. Our latest adventure was a St Patrick's Day scavenger hunt collecting shamrock clues...

around the town...

to find their pots of gold and a "green" lunch at Grandma Great's!

My sister Shanda (left) came for my other sister Mandee's baby shower!

We decorated my house all pink and white...it had never been so cute!

And we had a blast at the shower. Lots of fun games!

Lots of cute gifts!

And then... we had a girls camp reunion, (I never had my camera, I know dumb, or there would be a whole blog post!) with all the girls I grew up with in Antioch and went to girls camp with. This beautiful girl Lindsay, was one of my best friends since second grade. We lost touch after Jr. High, but seeing her this weekend made me realize how much time and frienship I missed out on. Hopefully, I'll be smarter this time and keep in touch! Love you Lindsay! The weekend was awesome!

Soon to come...reports on Tucker's hip surgery! ...or maybe he doesn't want you to know about that!

OH MY RIVER

Are you five years old already??!! My little Running Water, I can't believe it! My little Rivey poo, River roo, how do I love you? Let me count the ways...

I love your always smiling face, and the way your eyes are always smiling too. I love your ever need to learn something new and the way you love to make people feel better.

I love your sweet spirit and reminders to say prayers and read scriptures. I love your pictures of our family all over the house and the help you always are to me. I love the time you always want to spend with just me, so we can snuggle and talk about your stuff. I love your smooches and hugs whenever I want! I love your patience with the world in your little five year old eyes. I love you! You are MY "Little Running Water" and you make me the happiest Mom EVER!
