Mothers Day with the Skalas

We were fortunate to spend two separate days with each family this year for Mothers Day!

On Saturday we went to my parents house and just played outside, enjoyed the weather, grilled steaks and finished the night by getting to visit my sister's new house :-)  Great food and great company!!!

This year was a bit different as my sister Erin was home with us for the first time in a while.  Things felt so different when we didn't have to worry about when they were going to head back to Chicago    :-)

Neil and Reena's Wedding

Last night we were able to celebrate the wedding of two good friends Neil and Reena.   It was not a typical wedding that I am used to as the ceremony was hindu and all the dresses and everything we indian dresses.  It was TONS of fun!  The whole thing was amazing,  from the dresses to the barat, to the ceremony to the food and of course the dancing.

Posing for a picture

Carmen decided she wanted her picture taken the other night while walking down the steps.

Mommy and Carmen

I realized there aren't many pictures of Carmen and I so I decided to attempt a self portrait one night while she was being silly.

Daycare family of the month

We were chosen as daycare family of the month and asked to bring in pictures and short biographies of each member of our family.   WIth the help of Andy, the following is what we came up with.

Outside

We've been so fortunate to have such a warm spring.  Here are some pictures of a walk in our neighborhood we went on one night after dinner.

Oreos

Carmen loves Oreos....  These pictures show the love :-)

Spring Football Game

For many years Andy has wanted to go to the Gopher Spring Football game.  We finally had the weekend free so it was off to TCF Bank Stadium .  I didn't get many pictures as I was busy trying to keep Carmen happy, however we did get her picture with Floyd.

Daddy and Carmen

Just a cute picture of Daddy and Carmen playing.

Day after Tax Day :-)

April 18th Andy had work off and I took the day off and we took Carmen to the zoo.  We started this tradition last year and it's been fun.  We meet another family there and spend the full day checking out all the animals.
