Kirk Visit

The Kirk were in Springfield and we were thrilled that they came and spent a whole day with us. Mae and Jude were thrilled to see each other. Mae doesn't get along with any kid the way she does with Jude. They love each other so much and it's so sweet.

They came early in the morning and we went to Silver Dollar City. Unfortunately I came down with some terrible stomach cramps and was stuck in the bathroom for an hour. I had Shawn drive the car to the employee entrance to come get me. The kirks left with us and I felt terrible that I ruined their Silver Dollar City experience. We came home and ate lunch and I started to feel much better. After the kids naps, I was feeling 100%  and we went to the table rock dam and fish hatchery. 

We hope to see them again soon! It was so fun to hang out with family.

 So sweet!!!

 We went to the fish hatchery because Heather remembered from a field trip as a kid that you could the fish. We only live like 3 minutes from there and Heather knew more about it than us! : ) We've been there many times since! (i hate this pic. The fish look like a bunch of snake when they're all eating.

April

I haven't been able to upload pictures because I didn't have a cord to connect my camera to the computer. My amazing mother somehow grabbed the cord I needed and brought it with her. I had been looking everywhere to buy the cord I needed and was having trouble.

April was a great month. Henry turned 3 months old and my mother came for two weeks.  We had some amazing days at Silver Dollar City. The weather was cool and the park was practically empty. It was perfect. 

Henry's face is a little blurry in this but it's a nice picture of Shawn and I. ; )

We were skeptical of the goats

Watt Family Visit

I know this is almost two months late but better late then never, right? ; ) Anyways, Shawn's parents and sister came about a week after we moved to Branson. At first I was so stressed at the thought of anyone coming to our home when it was in such a messy, crowded, not-yet-unpacked-state but I realized it would be so nice to have some help and we knew they were here to see the kiddos and wouldn't care about the state of our home. While they were here Shawn and I got some much needed alone time and even got to go on a little shopping trip. We didn't really do anything while they were here but sit around and unpack but that is exactly what we wanted to do. I'm so glad they came. Once they brought out some presents Mae was easily won over and she loves them... and presents. haha She seriously asks about presents daily and sings happy birthday all the time!

Here are some photos. My camera was dead and emili's camera was missing a part so we only have Ipad pictures which I didn't realize till they left but it had a smudge on the camera so the pictures came out funny.
