Cheyenne, Arizona, Easter and More
April started out with a trip back to Cheyenne for Grandpa Shumway's burial and Celebration of Life service. It was great to see members of the family and hear many stories of Grandpa. We will miss Grandpa greatly but I am so thankful for our knowledge of the plan of salvation and the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ who makes it possible for us to live as eternal families.
The hub and his grandpa.
Rose and Grandpa B. Being silly as always.
Mini B and Aunt S.
On our way back to Nebraska my mom and I got on our previously scheduled flight from Grand Island, NE to Arizona to visit my grandparents. It was a long trip involving three time zones but well worth it. Rose really wanted to pick the oranges.
While we were there we got to see my Aunt Amy. It was her first time meeting my girls.
4 generation picture. My grandma is now 80 and can handle the craziest of great grandchildren.
Rose "helping" me make orange juice. Hmmmm, I want some right now!
We also met up with our friends from Laramie. Its always so nice to see good old friends.
Peekaboo.
This was Rose's favorite part of the trip. The daily golf cart ride.
Traveling with two young kids is not for sissies. Thanks mom for making the trip easier!
After we got home it was time for more fun in the sun. (Ok, nobody look at the white trash baby changing table in our backyard, embarrassing).
Searching for Easter eggs at our friends' parent's house. Yes, we still have parties at our parents' houses.
So much candy but Rose needed a little more.
5 months old and so darn cute!
Not much to say about this picture. We have two of God's greatest angels.

3 month update
Here is a quick update on what has been going on in the Milmonster house these days:
-Rose just started potty training. She is a pro and we are doing well. 2 kids in diapers is 1 too many.
-The Hub is half way through his second semester of dental school and is doing really well. He has spring break this week so we are doing things around the house. Grandma Mil and Aunt H come tomorrow for a few days.
-Miss Z is a laughing, smiling bundle of fun. She tries to sit up and is content most of the time. She loves her sister.
-Ever since we started a babysitting co-op group, the kids are always sick. We have had 3 colds in two months and it just gets passed around. Miss Z has had an ear infection and 2 colds in a month.
-I am getting use to being a mother of two. I am working on becoming a better sewer, photographer, scripture reader, money saver, exerciser, and of course, mother.
-We have almost lived in our new home for a year and still love Lincoln, NE and I have no problem being here for 3 more years. We love it!

This is a pretty regular occurrence at our house right now.
Audrey likes to exercise with me. She's pretty good. Please ignore my pajama pants!
I was taking pictures of Miss Z and realized my lighting was about perfect (which I have found is my key to taking a good picture, no flash just messing around with my camera) so here are a few of our cute girl at 3 1/2 months.
I L.O.V.E. this girl!
Rose wanted to take a bath in her new swim suit.

Rose's Kitchen
The girls got a new kitchen for Christmas! Rose loves to cook and I wanted to make it inspired by this amazing kitchen from a good friend and superior mother but I new I wouldn't be able to do it. So, I enlisted my talented brother and he created this masterpiece (with some finishing touches by grandpa)! Complete with a fridge, double oven, stove top, sink, shelves, hooks, towel rack, picture frame, a chalk board I found a goodwill, and I finished it off by making a cute checkered curtain.
I love it!!! And so does Rose so I guess thats most important:)

Beautiful Girls
We have the most beautiful girls! I count myself lucky and thank my Heavenly Father everyday for these two precious souls. We may have some hard days (and nights) with a stubborn two year old and a fussy baby but its all worth the joy I feel every time I look at them. Thanks Chels for taking such great pictures and capturing the love I have for my family.
