Yikes....

Has it been awhile or WHAT?! HIIIII anyone who is reading this!!! I have to admit... I actually had to look up what my blog address was because it's been that long.. I FORGOT!!! & if I forgot I bet you did too!!!
But after a cold winter the flowers are FINALLY in bloom, the grass is getting greener & we have a few updates!!!! :) :) :)
Meet Yuma! The newest little addition of our family!

Isn't she cute!! And yes... we realized after we named her we have bad gender association with our pets! Yuma is a girl & Clawdia a boy! ;) Tyler adopted her from a local animal shelter and we have been having a blast having something else around! Especially with the nicer weather, we have been in the consecutive 50's all week!! YAY!

The same week we got Yuma we also had some special visitors from Denmark! Albert, Kasper & Frederick are on a road trip from coast to coast and made a stop in Ontario! ( We love when people do that!)

:) Here they are with Mom as they cook us a Danish meal!!!!!

So that's a little from us!! Not much but hopefully I will get better at this dang thing!

3 Visits:

The Swanson residence has just had 3 visits in 4 weekends, from most of our very FAVORITE people!
2 I have already mentioned & last weekend Tyler's Dad ( Bob) & brother ( Brennen) came to visit! This was supposed to be a bachelor party for Jared ( the middle brother) but it didn't turn out that way & he was very missed! We did, however, LOVE LOVE LOVE getting to show Bob & Brennen the area! They went hunting every day, frequented the local restaurants & enjoyed (?!) the change in temperature! This was the first time that they had been up, and it was extremely special to be able to show off the house! :) We are truly blessed to have such incredible people in our lives, who have visited us! We hope to visit them all in return!






So this weekend was the first weekend since our visitor series, and Tyler & I didn't know what to do! We have spent the day today sleeping ( I started my first nap at 10 :)- as you can see by this blog post at almost 2 in the a.m. ) and will hopefully become productive human's this week. It almost feels like we are empty nesters :(!
