It's Spring!

Although we don't have any flowers or even buds outside, there is almost no snow left. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it stays that way! I can't believe its already been a week since Easter so here's a few pictures of a really fun week/weekend. My folks and grandma came by on their way to Michigan before Easter. We had a great time visiting and playing Wii! My parents were into bowling but we couldn't get my grandma to play...next time!

The whole Johnson family was home for Easter this year. Beth and Court brought their Guitar Hero game home for the weekend. What a great game but boy, did our arms hurt!

Jeff and I had a very busy weekend. On Friday I turned a quarter of a century old. I was sung to my kids at work while they danced and played instruments. It was a great moment I wish I had my camera. After work I went to pick Jeff up from work, got the tour of his office and met all of the wonderful people he works with. Then we continued on to the twin cities to see my parents, grandma and lots of uncles, aunts and cousins. It was a great birthday! I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics right now from the weekend but here is one from the Johnson's party today.

Wii be crazy!

Jeff and I walked into a Walmart one day a little while back and they actually had a Wii in stock. So we bought it! It was an impuse purchase but boy, have we had fun! Here are some shots of Jeff, Aimee and I in action. The games are lots of fun. Jeff and Aimee are boxing but I found out that I need some anger management when I box. That and it made me so sore!

Vacation Rewind... a week of firsts. First trip to AZ, Vegas, Grand Canyon & Hoover Dam for Jeff & myself. My personal firsts were documented in the following pictures. First time in an all you can eat seafood restaurant. First time eating King Crab legs. I also sampled several different kinds of sushi.



First roller coaster ride.
I thought my neck was going to break but it was awesome!! We went on the New York, New York ride that circles the hotel.




And well, it wasn't the first time Jeff has explained a dental question using yours truly as the model. A just plain funny picture.

Just minutes before we went to this coffee shop we walked right past Dog, The Bounty Hunter and his entourage. Jeff could have touched him we were so close! In case you were wondering...his hair is just as awesome in person.

HELLO MARCH!

We are having a four day weekend courtesy of a blizzard that is coming through Duluth. This morning there was a slight break so we got our driveway cleared and just about the time we finished, it started snowing again. The city of Duluth is pretty much shut down. Kids are sledding down the hills and the roads. Its a great day. We're loving the snow!

Last week we took a trip to Arizona and Las Vegas. Here are some pictures from our trip.




We started out our trip by driving straight to AZ to visit with Jeff's Grandma Ruby.







While in AZ we looked at some amazing retirement homes. Jeff & Aimee are playing with some fun props in one of the houses we toured.

wait a second...are we in MN?
Nope, we are on our way to the Grand Canyon and they have more snow than we do!

I had to take a picture of these signs. Check out the one on the left. We had a good laugh about that one.




We finally made it to the Grand Canyon and it was absolutely beautiful.
