Easter

We had a lot of fun for Easter this year!  We went to a couple of egg hunts.

Sophia was excited about her basket, the eggs, and the candy.

And we spent time with family.

It was a good Easter!

Visitors!

We got to have Papa and Grammy Brandt come stay at our house for a few days! Sophia totally loved all the company and attention!  She sure loves to be around people, especially family.

We can't wait to see them again!

A lime!!

My lime trees finally produced a FLOWER, which is slowly turning into a LIME!!

According to the internet, it takes 6-9 months to get from blossom to edible fruit. So, I guess we'll be waiting a long time to eat this lime, assuming I don't kill it first. ;) But I'm super excited!

UPDATE: Well, it looks like it was too good to be true. When I went in to look at the lime today, it had fallen off the branch. But hopefully we'll get another one that will survive!  :)

Tetris

We used our yearly Costco rebate to stock up on necessary stuff, like toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Then Tim played Tetris to get it all in our little Prius. He is really great with spacial issues, like packing for vacations and getting dishes into the dishwasher.

The best part was when Sophia took off her shoes and tried to throw them over the edge of her carseat. They bounced right back at her. :)

Swagbucks

I just wanted to let you know about a website that I've joined called Swagbucks.  It's an easy way to earn a little extra money, whenever you want, right at home. I've already earned a $50 Amazon gift card, and I'm just a couple days away from having enough points to get another one.  All you have to do is use their search engine for your online searching, and you will periodically "win" their points, which are called "Swagbucks." I also earn lots from taking surveys and watching their "TV" clips (both on my computer and through the free app on my phone). And there are several other ways to earn points! Then you can redeem your swagbucks for e-gift cards or other rewards.

It's a ...

BOY! The doctor confirmed today that we're 100% having a boy. A very wiggly boy. The doctor was surprised I could feel so much movement, though he confirmed that the baby is super wiggly. He said the baby is positioned such that it's like he is kicking through a pillow.  But every time I sit still for more than two seconds, it's like an acrobatic circus in my belly! And Tim has already felt the kicking too. So, it's a very wiggly, very strong, baby boy.

No, we don't have any firm ideas for names yet. :)

Valentines' Day!

Sophia and I had a super fun Valentines' Day.  We made cocoa Rice Krispy treats.

And we colored hearts for Daddy!

Hope your day was great too!
