Spring Break wrap up!

I was going to make an Easter banner on Saturday, but decided the boys could help me make one.  Ended up, we all helped make a family Easter egg banner!

I even got Rodney to do one. My artsy, creative husband.

Reid is holding up his Superman egg he made.  This one was special, he said, and he wanted to hold on to it.

After we were finished, Rodney got into this silly pose.  Hilarious!  The boys were clearly not into it!

Our family egg banner... (L to R) Rodney, Reid, Riley, Reid, (he colored multiple eggs) Mommy

Reid has his 1st loose tooth on the bottom.  It is NUTS to me that this is already happening.  He is only 5 1/2!!!

Reid snapped this one with my iphone.  Not bed, eh? Mommy & Daddy can still be silly & have fun too! 

We ended the boys spring break by grilling out and eating on the back patio.  The weather was amazing and we all played a little game of dodge ball in the backyard.  Good times, good spring break, fun had by all!

10 Year Anniversary

We celebrated 10 years of marriage on March 8 this year. Cheers to that!

We decided after 5 years of not being here, it was time to go back to Napa Valley, California.

These are the vineyards at Joseph Phelps.  One of the first vineyards we went to when we were dating.

There are no words for how gorgeous this place is! It felt so wonderful to be back!

I love how the sun comes over different parts of the valley... this reminded me of the Cross and our precious Savior that sacrificed His life for us. How appropriate to see this just before Easter.

This is the "barrel" room as they call it at Merryvale.  The very room where Rodney got down on one knee and I said, "YES!" Almost 11 years ago! 

Merryvale Winery

This was a new restaurant out there called Farmstead.  They grow all of their own veggies and raise their own cows on this property! The outdoor patio was stunning and it was our last day.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect!

These were the vines planted around the patio at Farmstead. 

And a trip to Napa isn't complete without leaving through San Fran and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.  This was only my 2nd time to see this bridge in my life.  It's still just so majestic and stunning! 

Happy 10th Anniversary to my soul mate.  I love you forever and am so thankful for the 10 years of life we have had together.  You have blessed me beyond measure and make me want to be a better person because of the love you show me everyday!

My new favorite thing to do!

I just started tennis lessons 5 weeks ago.  I have NEVER played a real game of tennis in my life, but have wanted to learn to play for quite some time now.  I think I played in the street once or twice when I was a kid!  It's my new FAVORITE thing to do!  I've always liked being active and working out, but this is something totally new & different that challenges me in a fun way!  I have an awesome instructor, Sally and she is an amazing player!  I have SOOO much to learn, but I am having a ball doing it!  Here's to new things at 39 and holding!
