Holy cow! It's been a long time!

Well, let's see. Time flies when you're having fun? ok, I really have no explanation for why I haven't written in 2 months. Been so busy enjoying everyone else's blogs? :)

April was a FANTASTIC month for us. Kris and I got to fly to Vegas BY OURSELVES for 4 days and gamble and sightsee with my grandparents (who are amazingly cool and look somewhat similar to Johnny Cash and June Carter...) and my Aunt and Uncle. It was so so so nice to be able to hang out with my family without chasing kids around or worrying about where they were etc....

We went to 2 shows, ate fantastic dinners, strolled the strip and I won $700 bucks in total off of about $80!!! The big joke was that I won back all of my Grandpa's money he lost. :) We came home for 4 days and were off to Wyoming/Denver for our family vacation to see Kris' family. The boys had a great time seeing their grandparents since they only really see them 2 times a year if that. We made it down to the Denver Zoo one of the days (Riley's first time) where we met up with their cousins. Interesting enough, most of the animals smelled like literal crap and were sleeping inside their habitats. So we basically saw a bunch of birds and a random peacock that roamed the zoo. :)

Our plan was to make it up through Jackson Hole and Yellowstone and stay in Bozeman for a night as well, but this is Montana. Not only is it Montana, it's Montana in April. We woke up to a blizzard in Wyoming and tons of snow through Jackson Hole with most of the roads we wanted into Yellowstone still closed for the season.... So we headed straight up for Billings, stayed overnight and ate at Texas Roadhouse and got home a day early. All in all it was a good getaway---

Now we are on to May. Kris and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary and we are now counting down the days until school is over. Looking forward to all of our flower planting and garden tending-to this summer for sure! Happy Summer friends!
