Ok, I know this is a BUNCH of pictures, but we've just been having so much fun lately, that I couldn't pick any less! I think I transferred 200 to the computer this last week, so this is nuthin!! :) Nate & his dad got our swingset put together on Saturday, and it's as exciting for us as it is Ryan! We're havin a ball taking him out to play! He loves climbing up to his "fort" and thinks he's pretty big stuff!! Loves Pa-Paw to push him on the swings, loves to slide....and we got our sandbox put out too! Such a weekend! That and Easter too!! Took Colby in for his 6 month check up yesterday, the little guy is 21 lbs 5.5 oz!! And 29 inches long! Tall baby!! :) 95% for both ht & wt! Healthy as can be, ears are perfect, amen to that one!! He checked out great! Whew! It was nice going in for a "well-baby" checkup instead of him being sick. :P Took the boys to Wal-Mart the other day & had some great pictures taken, can't wait until they're back. Such a long wait! I couldn't believe they cooperated and both smiled!! Yay!! Ok I'll quit jabbering now and let the pictures speak for themselves. :) Have a great rest of the week!

We've had a really fun weekend. : ) Nate's dad, Jack, came down on Sat and helped Nate assemble our new swingset!! Yay!! It's so exciting! Ryan just loves it. Can't wait till it's nicer out and can go out more often!! Plus he LOVED having Poppa Jack spend the night and hang out. Buddies!! Easter was fun, we went to church and then over to Nate's Grandma Emily's house for lunch and hanging out, playing, eating, the usual. : ) We let the boys come home and nap before going over to my Grandma Della's house to hang with the crew. It was fun. Ryan loves to play with my cousins, and they love him too. My cousin and her family were home from Minnesota, and it was nice to get to chat with her in person instead of over the phone. :) Lots to chat about now that she's having another baby!! Yay!! : ) So excited!! And now we're home, crashed hard and happy. Boys are snoozin, Mom's not too far behind. Thought while I was on here I'd just do a quick update. Fun!! Hope everyone's Easter was as blessed as ours! I'll get some actual Easter pics uploaded soon....and still some to come from our weekend away last weekend!! : )

Whew....

Well we had a great weekend! Nate & I were in Grand Island for Mike's wedding, and we had a ball. Just relaxin, swimming, hot-tubbing, dancing, shopping....it was all good. The wedding was great, went off without a hitch! Now Mike & Jess are hitched! Yay! We're so happy & excited for them.
The boys had a great time with BooBoo & PaPaw....Ryan's been asking for them ever since... : ) They went to the park, and Menards, and played outside and downstairs...and it was all good!
It is nice to get away & relax, but sure feels good to get home too. ; ) We missed our babies!!! I'll post some pics from the wedding soon!
