Our March

A few highlights from our March Maddness:

I turned 26!  Thanks to great friends, family, and such a thoughtful husband... it was a great day!  
Thanks for pampering me with gifts, cards, surprise meals, etc.

After a brutal week of Cody taking his written boards...
 Casey, Kimber, and Baby Maxson came to visit us!
So, so fun to have them for just a nice relaxing week.

Isn't that Max just the cutest?!?

Jaden sure seems to think so too:)
He wanted to hug him, kiss him, snuggle him, hold him, poke him, and pat him...
Yes, Jaden connects with the world best physically.

Brielle was quite curious about the cute little fella.

Look how they've grown!

Of course Jaden wanted to do EVERYTHING they were doing...
from working out to "napping."

 little outing to the Bounce Spot
 

Things to note:
Boys did their mandatory guys night and stake bball tourney.
Jaden had WAAAAYYY too much fun with Kimber's camera phone... bless her!
We enjoyed lots of lots of green food in honor of St. Patty's day.
and Kimber whipped up the most A.MAZ.ING oreo cake EVER!

St. Patrick's Day
we even dyed our milk and noodles green!

the Cutler cousins
love seeing these 3 all together

Shortly after we bid farewell, we welcomed more visitors!

My dear friend, Jamie and her daughter, Ella came to stay with us.
Jamie was my first friend I made here in Indiana.  Love her to pieces!  They moved to Santa Fe, NM almost a year ago and then on to Boise, ID.  I've missed her tons, and it was so great to spend some time with her again.

We went to Time Out for Women while she was here.
Fantastic weekend: uplifting, inspiring, heart-warming, and a much needed break;)

me, jamie, brittany



We had a major snow blizzard while Jamie was here... perfect way to begin the week of Easter!;)
and Cody's snow sculpting is becoming most impressive.
It melted quickly... just a little lump of snow was left by Easter Sunday.

Jaden loved dying eggs this year.

pancake brunch, Easter devotional, and Easter baskets!

the Easter egg hunt!  (PJ style)

showing off her Easter dress

Amongst all the hustle and bustle, we managed to get our house ready for SALE!
Holy smokes, has it really been 4 years!?!  We are quickly approaching graduation day and it is totally surreal!  It's been on the market since the 1st of April and we've accepted a fantastic offer as of this weekend!  We're excited and completely nostalgic at the same time.  Packing has started and our move day is set... CRAZY!  Can't even begin to put into words just how much we are going to miss our Indiana home.

Love the update. You are leaving a beautiful home with wonderful memories. New adventures await. You'll always cherish your time in Indiana. It reminded me so much of Illinois. I still miss it, but have grown to love where we are now.
