Birthday Weekend

A group of us went to dinner Saturday night. Nothing crazy happened, but it was nice to get out.
Matt surprised me with a fun night out for my birthday. We went to dinner in downtown Omaha then went to the symphony. This was really fun - an Irish group was performing with them. This was to prepare us for our trip to the Emerald Isle in April. We can't wait!!!

Colin took this picture of us...pretty good, I think.

Catching Up

For my birthday Colin, Matt and I went to the zoo. Colin gave Matt the tour. It was a lot of fun. Spring has sprung! The mud has arrived at our house. Colin is so excited to get outside and play. We are glad to take him too, he needs to let out some energy.

This picture is from our trip to Colorado where Colin got to pretend drive the plane. He still talks about it and it was really exciting for all involved.

Matt, Colin and I at the pool while in Denver. Colin likes the water, not love yet! He is taking swimming lessons every Saturday morning with Matt. I am so glad Matt enjoys taking him...what a great Dad!

Matt and I at Mardi Gras - we also celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary last week.

Over the last month Colin has been really busy learning all of the states that Grandpa Steele is visiting on his vacation. Colin has almost all of the Western states figured out, those pesky little north eastern states are going to be hard. Matt is traveling this week to Las Vegas. Matt told Colin he was going to Sin City, so that is what Colin says when people ask where Matt is. NICE!

Christmas in Minnesota

A Minnesota Christmas!

Snow Angels

Sledding with Aunt Melissa, Dad and Savannah

We attempted ice skating...Colin was not a fan. He would have rather just watched. Matt and I did a lot better than we thought we would.

Colin got a Minnesota Wild hockey stick and puck, plus much more of course. This was much better than the full size one that Matt got him for Christmas. We had a wonderful time in Minnesota, like always. Colin didn't want to leave. We didn't get there on Christmas day like we had planned, there was a huge snow storm in the Omaha area on Christmas day, so we went to Minnesota on Saturday and the roads were just fine.
