Philadelphia

Jake and I were able to go to Philadelphia for the weekend to spend time with family.  My aunt and uncle and grandma were visiting my cousin's family that lives in Philadelphia for the week because my cousin's daughter Sammi was in her school play.  She did such an amazing job and totally stole the show!  I am not even being biased she was AMAZING!!  We had such a great weekend visiting family and hanging out.  I am so grateful for Shannon inviting us and always making us feel so welcome there.

We even got to hit up Rita's while we were there which is the most amazing ice cream place ever!!  They put a slushie inside custard and it so delicious!!! 

Spring Break

I was so excited to be able to go home for spring break because I was just in time to see Kristal's new baby. She is so dang cute and I loved to cuddle with her!

We packed about as much as we could in the five days I was home. On Monday we hung out at Kristal's taking turns with Savannah and Alexa. Then I met up with Jake's family and had a fun girls night eating delicious food at PF Chang's and shopping at the new mall City Creek. It was so much fun to see Emme and Tatum and how big they have gotten even since Christmas!

Tuesday we drove up to Logan to see Mallory, Rachelle, and Greg. It was fun to be able to see their houses and how cute they had them decorated! We ate at my favorite- the Firehouse! then went on a hike at second dam. I loved being back in Logan and hope I can go again soon! After Logan we stopped in to see my aunt, Ang's new baby and hang out with my grandma and grandpa for a bit. It was so fun to be able to see everyone.

Wednesday Shelly and I got to babysit Savannah all morning it was so much fun!

Thursday we met up with Suzy for lunch then we had another girls day at City Creek and shopped til we dropped! I wish we had a fun mall closer in Morgantown because even if I don't buy anything just looking around is so much fun! Of course we had to squeeze Cafe Rio in that night because I wasn't going home without it!

Friday we went to see Mirror Mirror then everyone came over for the Easter egg hunt. It was quite intense I was one of the last one to find my eggs- that never happens!

The time went by so fast!

He Might be a Redneck...

     So we have been having a groundhog problem lately and Jake was sick of it.  He searched the house for his pellet gun and pellets and loaded his gun.  He left his gun loaded and pumped by the door just waiting for the groundhog to come out. 

      Of course the groundhog decides to come out Sunday morning as Jake was going out to iron his shirt for church.  Jake snuck back in the house and grabbed his gun so I wouldn't catch him and tell him no. He chased the groundhog to the side of the garage and shot it right in the head!  He was so proud of himself since I had been telling him all week there was no way he was going to be able to shoot a moving target right in the head.  Apparently after he shot it he heard a voice whisper, "Nice shootin Tex!"  I kid you not this is the story he told over and over again Sunday afternoon! 

      I wish I hadn't been so sicked out and I could have gotten a great picture of the huge yellow teeth on that fat sucker, but after holding the shovel for Jake to roll the groundhog on I had no desire to zoom in and take anymore pictures I wanted that groundhog gone- plus we had to get going to church!!
