Spring has sprung!

Well, I think Spring is officially here. Things are growing in the yard, I'm going outside almost every day at school and everyone is in a better mood.

This week went by fast! Tuesday morning Dad and I took Grandma Maggy to the airport so she could get on a plane to go to Austin.

Friday night we had family pizza night and I tried to show Mom and Dad how to make a hat out of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.

Saturday started out with the delivery and installation of a new dishwasher! (Mom and Dad were a little too excited if you ask me.) I tried to get them to let me keep the old one but they said no.

In the afternoon we ran errands and I caught up on sleep while we were driving.

That night Mom and Dad went with the Dillons to visit our friend Mary so Andrea came over. Before they left I got to open my mail from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Dave. (I felt really great because I got more mail than Mom or Dad on Saturday!)

Today Mom taught Sunday School so Dad and I met her at church. It was Palm Sunday and I got my own palm.

Afterwards I had to show Mom and Dad how to run their new toy. (Geez, parents just don't get technology.)

After my nap we went to the Iowa Energy game! Here is a photo from our trip in December...

... and here is today! I look older, don't you think?!

Today provided a great chance for another "then and now" photo. Last year, on March 17 I helped dad grill.

Today we grilled for the first time in 2010!

Mom and I also came up with a fun new game to play while Dad is grilling. (I can do a lot more than I could last year.)

Finally, here is a photo of Grandma Maggy in Austin today. 1st row, L-R, Grandma Maggy, Great Uncle Ken Pierce, Great Aunt Penny Pierce. 2nd row, L-R, Aunt Emily, First Cousin-Once Removed Robin (Pierce) Fruehe.

Have a great week, all.

Oh, one more thing ... I finally found a great resource for all of those Smokey and the Bandit quotes I've been looking for. I tell ya, the first thing I'm going to buy when I get an allowance is that DVD. Classic!
