Since both our birthdays are in April, we thought it would be fun to go away on a vacation as our birthday presents. We left Emerald with my parent’s and went to Lake Las Vegas, as well as the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and the Hoover Dam.
The Westin at Lake Las Vegas was gorgeous, we had a great stay and would go there again in a heartbeat.

It was time… to ditch the baby mullet! Even though her hair in the front still isn’t caught up, we needed to do a little maintenance trim to help. It’s got a little bit of a random wave/curl to it sometimes so it kind of looks like a hot mess most of the time, unless we put pigtails in, which is our go-to hair.
Thank you aunt Becky for taking time out of your crazy life to trim Em’s hair, we appreciate it and she enjoyed the snacks 😉 Hopefully it keeps growing in the front and we’ll eventually trim it again to hopefully even it out.

We pretty much celebrated Easter all month long because why not! Em loves bunnies, which she calls “hop hop” so we made Easter Bunny masks, colored egg shaped objects, went to see baby chicks and bunnies, went to see the Easter Bunny, dyed eggs, went on an egg hunt and much more. Here’s the highlight reel of Easter 2016.

Thursdays Drew and I do date night – whether that’s going out once a month or putting Emerald to bed and watching a movie. Sometimes before she goes to bed we go on a quick family date – this month we went to Yo Mama…
For Valentine’s Day we all got each other small gifts – Em got a pair of PJs, some socks and cookies, we’re trying not to have her obsessed with candy quite yet 😉 She was a fan of all of the above!
I got Drew a book and a “cat vadar” mug and he got me a floral robe which I’ve been wanting.
Last year I did a 365 day project where I took at least one photo a day (with a few skips and make-ups here and there), and I loved doing that last year I’m sort of continuing this year but I don’t feel bad if I have to skip a day or two because we are just too busy with other things. So instead of posting weekly, I’ll post monthly with a few other posts here and there.
We’re also hoping to do a few DIY projects this year which I’m going to try to post about as well… Happy 2016!
We experienced a heatwave this past weekend, 40 degrees in January in Wisconsin usually doesn’t happen, so we headed to the zoo for a morning out of the house. We mainly hung out in the buildings but stopped by a few of the outdoor animals who were active.
Final Week!
