My, my, well it has been warming up here at an alarming rate! The snow is almost all gone and I even wore a skirt today! I am L-O-V-E loving it! So many wonderful things come with spring such as my favorite flowers (tulips), sunshine (and SPF 70 to prevent sunburns), farmers markets, bike rides, hikes, runs in shorts, dinners on the deck, AND Charlie's Birthday! Yes folks, thats right; Mr. Charlie Brown turned 1 year old on April 2nd and we threw him a lovely party:
He got that new sweater from Auntie Steffy and chew toys from Aunt Camille...and yes, that is a cake for people (it was delish). Although he was not too hot on the party hat he seemed very pleased with his gifts and was a gracious host as he thanked the girls for coming with big wet doggy kisses. :)

The next best thing about Spring is Easter!! I didn't get to dye any eggs this year but I ate lots and instead I made adult Easter baskets for the girls which I sneakily left on their door steps from the Easter Bunny...
Oh I really do crack myself up! Anywho, on Easter day the fam and I went to church followed by brunch at the Shore Lodge. Afterwards Charlie and I came home, took a nap, went for a walk around town and finished off the day by watching Lord of the Rings (don't ask). It was truly a marvelous day!

You know what else is marvelous? WEDDINGS!!!! My long time friend Dusty got married this month to the love of his life Nicole. 
Nicole is really wonderful (and perfect for him) and I love her to death. They got married here in McCall at Jug Mountain Ranch and it was a fab ceremony. Of coarse Stacey Cakes made the cake 
and we all danced the night away; it was a blast! Congats Brooks'!

The day after the wedding the bakery shut down for a week so Stacey could visit her family in Arizona and I decided to take a little vacation of my own. I headed up to the ol' college town of Moscow, Idaho to visit friends and do some reminiscing. It was so nice to see everyone and I really enjoyed listening to how their lives have progressed, their plans for the future, and their funny stories. It made me realize how lucky I am to have such inspirational people in my life and also how much I miss seeing them on a regular basis. Jessica, Megan, Meredith, and Kyler you guys are the best! We went frisbee golfing, running, swimming, out to eat (many times), and even to a movie! 
Here is me outside the best coffee shop in Moscow and all the world in my opinion. They have the bests coffee and bran muffins you can find anywhere (but maybe that's just the wonderful taste of many fond memories talking) and even Charlie had a blast.

When I got back from Moscow I still had a day before I went back to work so I went to watch an RC Car Race!!! What is that??? Oh! Let me tell you! Okay, so this is Jeremy 
and he works for a company called
and he works for a company called
and they make these,
which they race on this nifty dirt track
. That's right people, toy cars for adults....sounds dorkey right?! Not so much! Don't get me wrong. I was unsure when I first heard about the sport too (I put it in the same category as Dungeons and Dragons to be honest) but now that I have seen it first hand I have had to amend my opinion. It is actually pretty cool to watch because the little cars go fast and sound like spaceships. They build them from the baseboards up and there are competitions all over the world. Who knew?! Anyway the weather was nice and the track was next to the dog park so Charlie and I just hung out for the afternoon, and Jeremy got 1st in his class! Woohoo!

Also I spent the evening the other day putting all of Neil's graduation announcements together, so family, be looking for yours in the mail!!
I am such a proud big sister! I will probably cry at graduation so if you're coming please bring extra tissues ;) Well, I think that is all to report for now and I think I have blabbed on for long enough so I will just end (as usual) with a cute pic of Charlie Brown.
