So, I am actually going to combine Wednesday through Friday, because not much happened those days.
Wednesday we did things around the house. We did some spring cleaning. We ran some errands. That was about it. Kind of a boring day.
Thursday we were excited to hear that Luke joined the world. We are so happy for Torry and Kevin. I went to Home Depot to buy replacement bulbs for our kitchen. Brielle mutinied Thursday. Thursday didn't exist in her world. However, Thursday night, we had dinner with Joe, Shauna, Hans, and one of Hans's friends. We met them at Metro Pizza. The pizza was wonderful, but the company was even better. Joe had us going with some stories and Shauna had us going, purely by being herself. She kept picking toppings off of the pizzas. She tried cutting a piece in half and it didn't work out to well. So what she did was held spatula on one half, and pulled the other half off with her fingers. She then ate the piece she hadn't touched, and left the other piece she man-handled for somebody else. It almost had us in tears we were laughing so hard. We were so happy to see them.
Friday was my day of rebellion. I had a really bad migraine, so we really didn't do anything. Brielle did lesson plans. She also made sugar cookies. Brielle makes wonderous sugar cookies. I cannot sing enough praises about her. Or her sugar cookies.
That pretty much summarizes our Spring Break. Lots of exciting things, but also lots of mundane, boring, grown-up things.

Spring Break, Part Drei
Tuesday was a fun day for us. We went decided to go out to breakfast at a restaurant that Jacob suggested. In fact, I think he considered it a great sin that we hadn't been there at all. With that in mind, we went to Hash House A Go Go. It was a great experience, as well as great food. The atmosphere was so much fun. The food was fresh and tasted great. We each ordered a hash, and it was served in cast iron pans. It made my day.
As many of you know, I have been really into family history as of late. Brielle and I have taken some names to the temple and plan to do more. Since we both had questions about the best way of going about doing family history, we went to the family history center. It was an amazing experience. We both loved it. Neither of us wanted to leave. Brielle learned a lot about how to add people since she is basically starting from scratch on one line. I learned how to clean house on my line. There are so many duplicates, that I learned to go about combining them. It is going to take a lot of time, but I am going to work on it. The spirit was so strong in the family history center. It was time well spent to say the least.
Tuesday afternoon we saw Captain America: Winter Soldier. I enjoyed it. Brielle...not so much. It is a guy movie. Lots of explosions. Plot happened between explosions. I see no reason to not like it. (Brielle's insert: reason not to like it in one word "EWWW!") That was about all the exciting things for Tuesday.

Spring Break, Part Dos
Sami, here is another post on Spring Break.
Sunday was just a normal Sabbath day. Go to church, feel the spirit, visit with friends, just the usual. Sunday afternoon included talking to our parentals. So very normal for us.
Monday had some excitement, at least on my part. I woke up and went and had blood tests done. Jealous, I know. I then came home and we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond. We purchased some hand soap, and a shower caddy. We were very excited about this. Being an adult is dumb sometimes. Who gets excited over a shower caddy? We then went to Costco.
Later that afternoon, I went to a dentist to get a temporary crown put on. A couple of weeks ago I had a root canal. Why? Because I have horrid teeth. No exaggeration. My cavities started on the inside of my teeth. Not outside, working in. No--that is what happens with normal people. "I ain't people." They start on the inside right next to the nerve. Nothing I could have done to prevent them. So, one root canal done, another scheduled soon. So a temporary crown now, a permanent one later.
That was our adventure for Monday. I bet you all wish your days were this exciting.

Spring Break
I have done a terrible job of updating our blog. The only reason is pure laziness. However, since it is Spring Break, I figured it would be a good opportunity to post what we do over the course of Spring Break. Each day would be its own entry. I will Start with Saturday. To sum up the day, we went to the Clark County Fair. Now, I would just leave it at that, but I am trying to do better of expounding upon what I say, so here goes.
Brielle loves Einstein Brothers. She loves their bagels. We live very close to one, and Brielle has to push it out of her mind. But it was decided, what could be a better way of starting our Spring Break than going out to breakfast. So, we ventured across the street for bagels. There was much rejoicing coming from my beautiful wife.
After breakfast, we went to Bambi's and picked her and her sister-in-law in up for the fair. There was much excitement about going to the fair. Brielle has almost always gone to the fair. I am not big on fairs. But we go and always have a good time. When we got to the fair we began our adventure by looking at the little booth/shops that they have set up. While we were doing that we met up with Kenzie. Our little group had fun. We looked at booths and displays. We went to the building where they display the cakes that have been entered for competitions. Kenzie's cake got "Best in Class." She made a fun tiered cake. Each tier had a scene from the movie Frozen. Obviously it turned out well since she won first place in her category. After that we had lunch while at an A Capella doo wop concert. It was fun to listen to these guys sing some favorites from the '50s and '60s. We then went and played a couple of carnival games, including the goldfish game. In case you were wondering, I am not so much for good at this game. The person running it felt sorry for me and gave me a fish. So I got a very expensive goldfish. I named him Mr. Gold. I have no idea how long he will live. So far, so good.
The rest of the Saturday was pretty boring and uneventful. We did the usual errand running, shopping, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
