Grandma, snow, swingset, birthday, surprise, wow hubby, spring time... oh MY!!

Grandma has left the building, lol. She came Friday 2/29 and left Sat 3/8. We had a really good visit... despite my crankiness, lol. She did a TON of stuff around the house and outside.. most notibly she washed baby clothes and put away and planted a bunch of tulips in the floor bed around the mailbox the Mark and herself created.

Yes, snow. This past Friday night (after a little bday celebration for me... where cheesecake was involved, YUM) we went to bed and woke up Saturday morning to a good 2 inches plus of snow! It snowed a lot of Sat morning as well and more would have stayed around if the ground had been colder. Grandma and I went to get a pedicure and by that time... there goes all the snow. Kaya did have fun playing in it for a bit, but she kept asking for a snowman as she remembers the snow in Iowa, lol.

We bought a swingset last week (something I decided would be a neccessity this summer with a newborn and Kaya). I thought for sure it would take more than Sunday to put that thing up.... but nope, Mark (with help from Chris in the afternoon) got the thing up and it is awesome!! Kaya is all about "Kaya's swingset" as she calls it, lol.

Well, I am offically 30 now!! I do agree with others.. 30 is not bad really. I am happy to be out of my 20's for sure! Like I mentioned above, we had a little bday celebration last Friday while my mom was still here. Mark made me a cheesecake (which he has never done). He got me an iPod docking station, sweet!! Then yesterday, my co-workers decided to sporut a surprise baby shower on my bday! I was SOO surprised!! That is a hard thing for me too.. I usually push and push about things and find out, but I was really surprise and felt so lucky! We got a lot of awesome stuff.. especially the diapers, lol.

That gets me to "wow hubby"... which is mainly from Mark going online to Babies R Us last Monday to plan our registry b/c the baby shower invites had already gone out for work stating we were registered there... which we had planned but not gotten to yet. So, Sat on our way to the airport, I said to Mark we should stop at BRU on the way home to register. Mark said "ahh, you have to wait until Tuesday before you can do that". I was like "WHAT?" I tried to get more out of him... no go. All I could think was that his parents or he was getting me something like a double stroller for my bday... which I was a bit like "that is a bit odd". Well, then yesterday, I figured everything out, lol. Anyway, I was pretty impressed that not only did he go online and do the registery without my input, but he picked out stuff I would have picked too!! I thought the whole thing was pretty dang sweet!!

Today felt like Spring was for sure here!!! It was beautiful, as was yesterday!!! Next to Fall time, Spring is the best!!! I am so looking forward to this Spring and having this new little one... I will have my Fall baby and Spring baby.... I could not ask for anything more!!
