#20: Play in the sprinkler with the kids

I don't have a picture of this one, but I set up the sprinkler and the kids and I ran around in it together in the front yard. The best part was swinging Scott and Susanna through the sprinkler and hearing them giggle.

#29: Make a new friend

The reorganization of our ward made it easy to find new people to meet. I just hung out today with N.B. and her little boy H. for the first time. We went swimming with Analisa and all of us totally hit it off. She love doing puzzles as well as loves reading similar types of books. Hooray for a new friend!

#25: Host a margarita party

I failed to post about this one last month. We had several friends over for Mardi Gras and had a decadent dinner of red beans & rice, shrimp etoufee, king cake, and then margaritas and daquiris. I would love to someday host an adults-only margarita party, but that will likely not be this year with the baby coming and other plans.
