Birthday supper


Tonight grampa and grandma DeVos treated us to La Fiesta for Tyler's birthday. Grandma Kneifl and Scott Meth were able to join us too. We shared a great meal and many laughs. 

Happy 18th Birthday Tyler!

Eighteen years ago a baby boy was born...

...and today he goes off to one of his last days of high school a young man.

Another birthday celebration

Chloe loved taking pictures with my phone this morning. 
Let me take a selfie;)

Sunday noon we celebrated Tyler's birthday complete with all his favorites: pizza, BBQ chips, and blizzard ice cream cake. It was such a fun weekend of celebrating!

She turns one!

Today we celebrated Everlee's first birthday. It's hard to remember life before her birth. All I know now is that our family feels full with her in it. It was such a joyful day filled with family and friends gathering    to celebrate birth, life and love. It truly was a "happily Everlee after" kind of day.

Easter vigil

Is there an egg in there?
Grandma always hides one there. 
Looking for one last egg. Your getting hot Tyler. 
Opening up the eggs.  

Yesterday we went to sioux city and had a traditional and delicious steak supper with grandma and grampa. 
Before we enjoyed the supper they had an egg hunt for Tyler. Twelve hidden eggs, in a confined space, and you didn't have to move anything. Easy right?! Wrong! They were twelve eggs that looked liked basketballs and were dark brown in color. He needed a few hunts but eventually found them all. 
We reminisced about past eggs hunts and had a few chuckles.
After a quick nap we went to Easter vigil service. We came home with full bellies, a little extra cash in Tyler's pocket and a renewed spirit in our soul.  Happy blessed Easter.

Retail Therapy

Today we went shopping and dad went with us! Hard to believe isn't it?! Not really. He took us to Hornick, Iowa to get our leathers for ridin'. We are all set to go. Now we just need sun instead of this snow;). After an afternoon of shopping we stopped into Edie's in Sgt Bluff for a beverage. If you recognize the tin wall you are right. This was the second stop on the party bus.
