Life and Adventures with Olivia & Owen: April

April came and went just as fast as March. All that winter weather we where wondering where it went finally showed up for a few days and Trent had his birthday bash!

Trent Turns Thirty!!!

Yeah, he is an old man and we all said good bye to his youth in a swinging Luau. Family and friends came, we played some games, talked, ate and Trent blew out his birthday candles. I did not give him 30 candles, I had some sympathy. I WAS already making him suffer through a party.

Easter showed up with the cold weather. We visited the Easter Bunny, while he was hiding eggs in the park. All the cousins had fun saying hi and gathering treats.

At the end of the month, my sister Liz came to visit for 5 days, Thursday to Tuesday. We had fun despite the cold, rain and snow. Did I mention snow? Yeah, snow. We had small amounts of snow when we should have but in April we had at least 18 inches over the weekend that Liz and her kids visited. We were sooo not prepared for it. She did not pack snow clothes and I had started to put away winter clothes already. That will teach me. Saturday, we woke up to snow. Trent wanted to go sledding that day and left me to call around and find snow clothes for everyone. We did have a blast sledding for the first 30 minutes then it turned to slush and we packed up and went home.

On Monday, it was 75 degrees, sunny and no trace of snow (and I thought Missouri weather was crazy!). We all went to the zoo. Kids saw the animals, Livvy road the carousal for the first time and everyone slept great that night.
