Beginning to Wonder












We were beginning to wonder if the weather would ever be nice enough to go to the park again!!  Thank goodness the temperature is heating up and we can go play!!!  The days are longer, the play time is longer and we are pleasantly pooped out by the evening!

Opening Night

Wednesday and yesterday were really fun!  We headed over state lines for the Reds Opening Night!!!  The trip was nice.  We really only made one pit stop for the restrooms and then we met up with Grandpa Dave, Grandma Donna, Uncle Adam and Aunt Christy for lunch at Waffle House.  Before too long we were at our hotel and checking out the rooms.  Thank goodness we had rooms attached to one another because me and Myla loved going back and forth!  I was really excited because I got my very own big bed to sleep in!!!  Myla and I tried it out but only to see how comfy it was.  NO NAPS were to be had before the game!
We were a bit worried about how cold it would be at the game and we were a bit worried about keeping Myla from running all over the place.  However, there was nothing really to worry about!  It was very cold, but we wore layers and coats and gloves and we had blankets.  I even decided to drink a slushee in the already cold weather!!  Myla did great!!!  She stayed in the stands all 9 innings!!!  AND THE REDS WON! 
The fireworks show was MAGNIFICENT!!  We loved seeing them and Myla barely blinked during the whole thing!  The bus ride is always a crowd pleaser and this time was no different!
Saturday morning we decided to go to the children's museum in Cincinnati.  We didn't know what to expect, but it was awesome!!  We played and played!  They had a huge tree house that we loved and we got to play in water!  They had a great little village with a vet hospital, a cafe and a store.  It was fun to pretend in those.  We also got to walk through a cave and that was one of my favorite parts!!
It was such a busy and fun two days that Myla fell asleep in the car before we even hit the interstate!  And if that wasn't enough, we got home just in time for my last swim lesson of the semester!!  After all the excitement we all slept well!  Mom had to get up and go to work this morning, but Myla slept until 9 and I slept until 10am!

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter weekend!  Saturday night we got our Easter baskets.  I was sooooo excited to get a Monster High doll because I have been wanting it forever and my parents always said no!  I just love her because she is wearing roller skates and I have been roller skating all over our apartment in my skates!  Myla got some Elmo Bubble Bath.  She loves that stuff.  She immediately took mommy's hand and headed to the bath tub!  Of course we got a little candy! 
Sunday morning we put on our pretty dresses and went to church.  We had a great morning talking about Jesus and I made a really great craft in Sunday School.  Everyone loved our dresses, too!
After church we went to Granny's house for dinner.  It was very good and the company was great!  There was lots of eating and lots of talking and lots of playing going on!
After Myla took a nap we headed back to church for Kidz Zone!  We got to make Resurrection Rolls and all the kids loved it.  Mommy says we are going to make them at home every Easter, too, because it is a great way to help understand the resurrection of Jesus.  AND the rolls were super yummy to eat at the end, too!!!
We ended the evening by staying up late and watching The Bible on television.  Myla played while the rest of us watched.  It was great cause daddy didn't have to go back to work so he got to watch it with us!
It was a wonderful end to our spring break and now we are ready to get back in the swing of things after our week off!
