Happy Easter!! This is for you Rose!!
Grandma Bagley buys the granddaughter's easter dresses every year so they can match. Aren't they beautiful! It was a very cold and windy day in Omaha! After church we went to Grandma Kortus' for Easter dinner. It was fun to see everyone since it had been awhile and of course the grandkids didn't take anytime to start playing with eachother.After the Kortus' we then went to Grandma Bagley's for another dinner. Again we had lots of fun being with them but I was too tired by that time to get out the camera again. Sorry Bagleys!
Sorry these guys are a little blurry, my camera setting was off but I still love the picture
Here is a special Bunny cake Grandma made for the Grandkids. Isn't she miss Martha Stewart
Happy St Patrick's Day!!
Pat's family is very Irish and have always had corn beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. It's been a long time that my kids have experienced this meal and after some nudging from my mother in law that making this meal is easy we decided to give it a try for the first time this year. Pat ended up cooking the meal (which was very smart, it turned out great) and I put together a little program of some history and games for my kids to play to celebrate their heritage. We invited Brian over as Lacey and Kylee were out of town. Hesitantly he agreed and ended up surprised that he enjoyed our meal. I ended up learning this weekend that I also have lots of Irish ancestors in my family! Who knew!
We also had alot of fun on this holiday with the daycare! We had green juice and green macaroni and cheese for lunch and green cookies. The green macaroni didn't go over as well with everyone as I thought! Oh well! And all of the parents were on the ball and dressed everyone in green so we couldn't pinch anyone either!!
Celebrating our 14th Wedding Anniversary
Our kids woke up really early and surprised us with breakfast. They made toast and egg and cheese omelets with bacon bits! Very creative!
That night we went out to eat at a yummy restaurant called firebirds that we only get to once a year because it's a little pricey. We had a great meal and the best time!
I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have married Pat! I love this guy more and more every day that we are together! Good thing he has put up with me so long!!
Making Cookies with Grankma Kortus
Grandma and Grandpa Kortus came over for dinner and cookie making with the girls one night. It was so fun to have them at our house and spend time with them as we don't get to do it as much as we would like. The girls had so much fun making cookies with grandma and they sure tasted good too!

All About My Honey
What is his name? Patrick Allen Kortus
How long have you been married? We just celebrated our 14th anniversary on March 12th
How long did you date? Our first date was December 14, 1991 and we were connected at the hip until our wedding day on March 12, 1994, (except for 2 months when I went to college which we aren't going to talk about!) so a little over 2 years. I was just a baby, I needed that much time, probably more!
How old is he? He is 37
Who said "I love you first?" He did
Who is taller? He is thank goodness. I'm kind of obsessed about that. I'm 5'4" and he's 5'8". He lost an inch with his last back surgery.
Who eats more sweets? Oh, no competition, me. Pat used to never eat sugar but wearing on him!
Who can sing better? It's a toss up. Pat loves to sing out loud alot more than me and he doesn't care who hears him
Who is smarter? Pat is for sure! He always makes fun of my "millard south education"! He's very very smart. My walking calculator.
Who does the Laundry? I do. Only because I'm home alot more than him. He would do it in an instant if I asked him too, and he would probably do a better job of it too!
Who pays the bills? I do.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do and I only get 1/3rd of the bed. Pat and his girlfriend (his body pillow) get the other 2/3rds. It's an ongoing battle!
Who mows the lawn? Pat does and we are finally bringing the boys on board as well.
Who cooks dinner? Family dinner? What's that? For sometime now it's been hit or miss at our house. Hopefully that will be changing soon. When we do cook usually it's me but Pat's a mean barbequer!
Who drives? Pat
Who is more stubborn? No doubt me! Pat is the peacemaker! I can hold out for a long time!
Who kissed who first? I did. At the end of our first date, he went in for a hug and I got him. I couldn't resist!
Who asked who out first? Pat did, well actually a mutual friend of ours opened the door for him as he was too chicken to ask me out himself. He was afraid I would say no because he was so much older than me.
Who proposed? He did when I was at Rick's College. I had been up there for a month and a half and he came up for my birthday and proposed in my grandparents living room! It was awesome!
Who has more siblings? He does. He has 7 and I have 5
