Is It Summer?

I swear it is summer already! I keep having to remind myself that it is not! The last few days it has been 80+ degree here! At one point today, Jagger said, "Mommy, its too hot. Lets go inside!" You know its hot if my child is wanting to come inside! The last two days have been great! I have truly enjoyed this nice weather! We are for sure outside people!
The fort is pretty much completed! Tonight we are going to stain it, and then Matthew is wanting to put wall around the bottom to completely enclose it, but other than that it is done. Jagger has already put his approval stamp on it! We can not thank Pa CP enough!

Yesterday was so much fun! Our church hosted an egg hunt for the kids! It was awesome! Jagger did not really know what was going on until we got there! When he saw all of his friends he was smiling like Christmas morning! On the way there, he told me he really wanted to get 10 eggs! I told him that would be a great goal...Little did I know that the church had put out over 4,000 eggs!!! YES I said 4,000 and only 50 something kids showed up! If you do your math then you know each kid got about 100 eggs! Jagger thought he had died and gone to heaven! He said, MOMMA, I am the luckiest boy ever!!! He was thrilled! There was not a child there that was not smiling and having a great time! and each egg was stuffed with candy! SO..we now have an entire cookie jar full of candy and Easter is not even here! I'm thinking the EASTER BUNNY may run out of candy for Jagger! :) I love our church so much and am so grateful to be apart of it! I hope that we will get to do this again next year! I know the kids loved it!

On the way!!

Jen is so awesome!

my sweet boy! He LOVES his sunglasses!

He was loving it!

They hit the jackpot! Jagger found a Prize egg! he won a outside water toy!

here are the eggs we got! I mean wow!!!

Hope everyone is having a blessed day!!

Yard!!

Today was all about our yard! I have been so happy that it has been amazing weather! One of our favorite things to do is work in the yard! We spent the entire day outside! First, Matthew got up super early to mow. He wanted to get the yard mowed before Jagger got up because if he didn't he would have a 3 year old right under his feet wanting to help!
Pa came over today to build Jagger his new fort! It is awesome! Jagger has been looking forward to this since Pa told him about it! (Note to self- NEVER tell a 3 year old ahead of time you are doing something..wait until you are fixing to do it!) Jagger has ask us every single day if this was the day that Pa was going to build it, so finally today we could say YES! and you would have thought Santa was coming!
Jagger, Matthew, and Pa started working on the fort, while I started on the yard! We went and bought a trailer load of mulch so we could do the flower beds and around the trees! I have been wanting to do this for over a year! I'm pretty sure it was like Christmas at the Cohn house today! I got all the old border pulled up and then I put down the weed stuff- I am not sure the correct term but its almost like black trash bags to keep the weeds from coming up in the mulch! Its great stuff...totally worth the time! and then it was time for mulch! Matthew and I took turns shoveling! Finally I gave up and decided I would just let him dump it and I would spread it! I am so happy with the end product!
Tomorrow is going to be so much fun for Jagger! Our church is having an Easter Egg hunt! He doesn't really understand what is going to happen but I think he will have a blast once we get there and realizes what we are doing!
Well..its time for bed, my body is aching!so what did you do on this beautiful day?

Branson- Day 1!

YAY!!! We are here! We got here yesterday after driving for almost 6 hours! I have never been so ready to get out of the car! For almost 45 minutes we were on what felt like a rollercoaster ride! I think one curve we made a full complete circle and then it was just UP down UP down! I was pretty much on the brink of getting sick and then BOOM out of no where we came out of it!
When we got here we came and found out condo and it is absolutely gorgeous! We are on Tablerock Lake! Its unreal...I could stay here for along time! Once we got settled, it was time to scope out the town! We ended up eating at Fudruckers, not to be confused with Fudpuckers (which is in Destin!) It is a specialty hamburger place. I got a buffalo burger on a whole wheat bun! YUMMY!!!  Kim got a salmon burger and it was amazing!
After we ate we went to the HollyWood Wax Museum!! I was so excited! I was literally jumping up and down while we were going in! I know I am like a kid when it comes to stuff like this! Jagger was not really feeling it because outside on the building is King Kong and it scared him!
We went through the museum and got alot of fun pictures, and then we decided it was time for ice cream! We found a local place called Cakes and Creams. It was packed. It is set up like a 50's diner and inside they even had a little boy doing Elvis impressions! The ice cream was super yummy and the atmosphere totally put it on favorite list!
We made it back to the condo around 10. Jagger and Matthew were asleep, so Kim, Trace and myself went out on the balcony and enjoyed the hot tub before going to bed! It was great! I was super relaxed and it took me all of 10 minutes to fall asleep!
