SISTERS!!!

 I never had a sister and I always wanted one (although I do love being the only girl with 4 brothers) but I am so HAPPY that these two sisters have eachother and I hope they will be good friends there whole life!

Tulip Festival with Grandma and Grandpa Platt

 Shawn's parents were in town visiting for a few days and we loved visiting with them and Callie loved spending time with "Pat"

We decided to head to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival here in Woodburn and we loved it.  Callie loved looking at all of the tulips and playing with Grandma and Grandpa Platt-it was a beautiful day!

Easter

 Easter Sunday happened to fall on the day after we got home from our Spring break trip to Utah/Wyoming.  The Easter bunny was a little wore out from the trip-which is okay because Callie is only 1 and Lucy is only 5 months.  The girls (who were both sick from the trip and I am sure the airports) woke up to a few Easter eggs, candy, and a Cabbage Patch doll.  Since they were not feeling well the girls and I stayed home from church (which meant they did not get to wear there cute Easter outfits-maybe next week).  

We did do an Easter egg hunt and dinner the day before with my Aunt Dayna, and cousin Christy and her cute family and then on Easter Day after dinner we had an adult sibling hunt (just like we did when we were kids-so fun).  We love Spring time and Easter and the opportunity to Celebrate our Savior.  

 Lucy watched the egg hunt from the sideline with Uncle Jared

Spring Break in Utah and Wyoming

 We had a great week in Utah and Wyoming for Shawn's spring break.  

-We met up with Family and shared an evening with Vickie for her 60th birthday

-We visited our Alma Mater and took the girls on a walk around BYU campus and visited Uncle Brocky at the BYU library

-We got to eat at some yummy Provo restaurants that I miss so much (Cafe Rio, Zupas, Provo Bakery, Tucanos, FireHouse Subs)

-We made indoor s'mores 

-We played with Uncle Brock and Aunt Emily and loved all our time spent with them in their little "stable house" 

-We had a cousin dinner at the Woodleys and loved visiting everyone and seeing their cute kids

-I fell asleep nursing Lucy in the mothers lounge at Brock and Emily's church and no one could find us for at least 30 min :)

 

 -We headed up to Wyoming to spend a few days with our Platt family
-We had a cousin Easter egg hunt
-Callie got to take her first sled ride and got to do it with cousin Maggie

-Lucy got to sit up and ride in the Costco shopping cart all by herself
-Shawn and Callie took many walks outside while Lucy took her naps inside
-Shawn visited his old research lab and mentor and let Callie touch a mouse (I was not there or would not have let it happen-I HATE mice)
-We checked out the new Provo Beach Resort and Callie is still talking about and watching the video of her on the carousel
-We drove by our old house and reminisced about our newlywed/childless days

We loved our trip away visiting family and friends but were happy to get home too.  Shawn discovered that traveling with 2 babies is not super relaxing and was anxious to get home to rest!

Shawn

Shawn is the BEST daddy and his two little girls just adore him.  Even though he is super busy with school and literally gone all day long (Monday-Saturday) he still takes what little time he has to play with Callie and to hold and help me take care of Lucy.  Shawn is just finishing up his third term of his second year of Dental School and has 1 more term and boards and then he gets to be a third year and gets to start having his own patients and working in the clinic everyday-he cant wait!
We love Shawn and all the hard work he puts into everything he does.  The girls are so blessed to have him as such a great daddy, and I am so grateful that he is such a good husband too!
