humans celebrated with real cupcakes =0)

Lego Fest

I took Sam to Lego Fest this year and it was AWESOME!!

Sam wanted pictures of everything so I have about 400 pictures - I will just post a few below - ad a great time seeing all the creations and building our own stuff!!

PSU Blue/White Game

Time for the annual Blue/White Game!

We headed up to State College for a beautiful weekend!

Then back to Gramps for a visit with him and Grandma V

Someone always cries....

I love it up here - tons of space to run around and explore - reminds me of the country house my grandparents owned when I was growing up!

Happy Easter

Mark stayed home so me and the kids headed to MD!

We had an Easter Egg hunt

All the cousins

Dyed eggs!

best cousins!

I suck at friendship

....and that's why I love this girl so much!

I met Milissa way back in 2003 maybe?  We were both living in Roanoke and she was stalking me  looking for a walking buddy.  So every night while I walked Piper, Milissa joined us.  And that was the start of a great friendship!

She moved away and then I moved away.

She was one of my bridesmaids

and then you know, life happens.

I haaatteee the phone so we lost touch but then we would email or read each other's blog and catch up.

See, but this girl doesn't care how much time goes by  - we just continue where we left off as though we had just spoken to each other last week - I love it!!

The last time we saw each other was at my baby shower for Sam, so yeah, over 6 years!!

We were headed to MD for Easter so I decided this was it - time for a visit!  My mom watched the kids and I headed to her house for an overnight.

Like always, it was as though we just saw each other last week.  Conversations flowed and we ate lots of yummy food!

It was such an awesome visit!

Thanks for being a low maintenance kind of friend, Mis!  Love you!
