It seems like just as I get one moment to start to write I think of something else that I really should be doing. But I am sitting here, I should be working, but I really need to write in here before I get started on my work.
We finally after being sick for a week and a half did get better. My house finally got cleaned and all is well again at the Kettenring home.
So much has happened since I last wrote. We got tickets to Disney on Ice I wasnt quite sure if McKinley would even like it, but it was a hit! I will see if I can post pictures on here a little bit later. She danced and she clapped through the entire thing until the finale where the little girl sitting in front of her was more entertaining.
St. Pattys day was full of excitement. It started off with getting ready and then to lunch with G-ma Sally. McKinley of course had green hair like mom and she was all decked out in her outfit that was too big for her because I bought it for her last year, thinking she would be fitting into clothes her age and size. We then came home for nap time and then got ready to go to g-ma Laura's for the annual Corn Beef and Cabbage dinner. It was a lot of fun for all of us and we were all exhausted by the time we got home.
Next was my birthday, Bret planned it. I knew that he had put a lot of time and effort into it becuase he had been very secretive all week long. The day started very early with him waking me up and telling to me get ready and that we wouldnt be back until late so I needed to plan accordingly for myself and McKinley. When we got in the car I realized that he had taken the day off to spend it with me :) We went to my moms for breakfast where we had strawberry waffles and bacon! yummy! Then I got to open my first gift which was a dress. He had me put it on and then we went to the temple with my mom and dad. We even got to be the witness couple for the first time ever. It was really neat. Then we changed and went to see college road trip. Donny Osmond stole the show. He by far was in all my favorite parts of the movie. After that we went back to my mom and dads where I got to open another gift which was a new game for the wii. Luckily I had left the wii at my parents from the day before so we were able to play. After a little while of playing we went to his mom and dads where his mom had fixed my favorite dinner! FAJITAS!!!! Everyone from both sides of the family were there Danny and Katy came too, it was really nice to have everyone there. I really am spoiled and so lucky to have Bret! It was a very nice day! I will post pictures when I get a minute for this too.
Next was Easter. As many of you know Easter is a big thing at Bret's house. This year we colored 13 dozen eggs for the egg hunt. And Bret and I didn't do as well as we normally do. Together we had as many eggs as everyone else did on their own. But we did still make out with $2. Although this year we should have done a lot better but an exception was made and we ended up waiting for Mike and Robyn. If it would have been the way they said it was supposed to Jayson, Bret and I would have done really well! We then made breakfast, egg gravy over biscuits, and got ready for church. After church we went hunting for our easter baskets and showed everyone what we got from the easter bunny. A while later after a bit of a little relaxing Bret and I went to my mom and dads for easter dinner. Then we went outside and sat by a fire until we all were falling asleep and then went home.
The last few days sure have been overwhelmingly wonderful! I cant help but be thankful for everything that I have. I have such a great little family and a terrific extended family. The weather has been so nice here and McKinley and I have enjoyed spending the majority of our time outside. Its amazing what a little sunshine does to everyone. They all seem so much happier, including me.
On a side note, my next dr appointment is my last 4 week appointment (its next week). Which means I am in my last trimester already! It doesnt seem that long ago that I was bawling my eyes out because I found out we were already having another baby. Now I feel grateful for the blessing that will soon be making his way into our lives.
