April 19

After class I was actually productive (surprising, right?) I went to Ranee's (from St. Stephen's) senior clarinet recital. I was then planning on going to watch Liz in the symphonic band concert, but instead!!! I got a call earlier that afternoon from my second daddy(Scott) saying he was coming through town around 7:30 and wanted to know if I wanted to grab supper. Well, OBVIOUSLY! So we went to Old Chicago while Rob, Lucas, and Alyssa watched Liz's concert. After the concert they came to Old Chicago, too! Scott left to get a hotel room instead of driving the rest of the way home, and I stayed at Old Chicago with the gang. We always have so much fun! And we didn't fail that tonight, either. :)

Awww :) 

March 31

Best. Day. Ever.

I spent the whole day with Aunt Sharon. We had no time constraint..we did what we wanted to. & we had a BLAST. We headed to Dodge about 11am and went to lunch at Mineral City. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping. And before we headed home (around 5:45), we got TROPICAL SMOOTHIES. Yum. :) She wouldn't let me take a picture of her again though :(

When we got back to town we unloaded Grandma's groceries that we got for her and I then she headed home. I sat outside with my parents and Jack Block because the weather was beautiful. Jim and Janet Haub joined us later. We grilled steak and I convinced my mama to make me cheesy potatoes(she makes the BEST). It was a very relaxing evening. Zac came over after work and we all hung out in the living room. I went to bed early(ish) because I didn't get a whole lot of sleep Friday night.....

Dinner Dance

Saturday, March 17 was the Rockwell City Rotary Club's annual Dinner Dance. My mom is the president of the club, so she planned pretty much the whole thing. We spent Saturday morning and afternoon baking desserts and setting up tables for the event. Both of my sisters came home for the night and the whole family (minus Kaden and Connor) attended the event. We ALWAYS have a great time. We kept that tradition up! Some photos from the day:

Setting up: Kaden was a big help in moving the walls! 

We had some down time, so Kaden and JD hung out in the chair. :) 

Love them. 

My sisters made me put on this hat. They thought it would be a perfect fit because I have a tiny head...

There are MANY more photos from the night that I will soon be posting to Facebook. :) 

Spring Break!

I'm mashing this all into one post-I won't go into much detail. On the Sunday we flew out, we drove to Omaha and had lunch with Shelby & JD. Shelby so generously lent me the last 2 Hunger Games books. YES. I think you can figure out what I did all week... :) We had a peaceful direct flight to Phoenix and the lovely Josiah was there to greet us when we arrived. We grabbed some grub and headed to his place. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were filled with shopping (yay), eating, reading, and sitting by the pool in the sun. It was, well, AWESOME. It was so relaxing and fun. Such a great week with Zac. Friday we got up and climbed North Mountain. Yep, you read that right. I climbed a mountain. It gave me a splendid insight on how out of shape I am. Yikes. We headed to the airport. The journey home was not as short. We had about an hour layover in Denver and flew back in to Omaha around 12:30am. We(Zac) drove all the way back home. Here's some pics from the week. Zac HATES getting his picture taken...

These were taken on Tuesday night when we went
to Rock Bottom for supper. YUM!

This was at Mellow Mushroom on Wednesday night. John (left) is who Josiah lives with in Phoenix.

Thursday night we went downtown Phoenix. We ate some delicious pizza and fantastic crêpes.

 The view from the top of North Mountain. So beautiful! (even though I'm not usually a fan of nature)

And at the top we saw chipmunks. They were not afraid of us. They were so cute!! 

And that was my Spring Break in Phoenix. :)
