We had a busy but fun week for our lil Mondell Family.Work - I have eluded to work changes over the last few updates and more info is coming together at this point. As of May 16th, I will be taking on the HR manager responsibilities for Cargill's Corporate Center Executives. In addition, I will retain my HR responsibilities with Global Tax & Customs. I also will now have the leadership for our functions HR team's core process initiatives. This is usually my crazy time of year for work since our fiscal year end concludes May 31st and lots of the comp processes wrap up now. Well this year will be a little bit crazier since I take on my new role as of May 16th but I also have to see out this Finance compensation process since we are in the midst of the process and my boss is getting prepared to back fill my role. However, even though it will be crazy I am very excited about the new opportunity and to transition out of compensation. I truly enjoyed my past 3 years and learning in compensation but it is time to move on so this is great timing!
Becoming such a BIG Girl!
Birthday - My big 31st landed on Wednesday of this past week. Everyone was super kind about my birthday at work and Clint was a great husband. He did whatever I wanted for the day and one of those tasks included picking up Maci and ordering Pizza while I stayed at work until 645p (yep busy time). We then had some wonderful pizza oh and Clint gave me the best gift ever! My grandmother Garnet (mom's mom) had a ring with a Garnet stone which also happens to be Maci's birthstone. Clint knew I didn't like the ring's current setting and I never wore the ring but I really cherished it so he took the ring to a jeweler and had them take the stone and set it in a really pretty white gold chain. I can now have a wonderful memory of my grandmother and daughter around my neck every day, such a thoughtful gift!
Daycare Fun - The Pig hat plus chubby face view is not a flattering look for Maci!
Weekend -
Friday I got to go to happy hour with my mom friends for some ladies night fun. We have so much fun laughing with each other and of course we talk about the lil boogers and compare toddler tantrums at this point :) Clint and Miss M had a great daddy/daughter night at home and she was sound asleep when I got home!
Saturday - After gym, Maci and I took a nap while Clint worked in the yard. Our yard is really coming together which is such a relief because Miss M LOVES to be outside. We just have to finish some landscaping pieces on the left side of the backyard as well as finishing parts of the fence. The grass is starting to grow on the hill and all the hard work is paying off. After we woke from our nap, Maci and I joined dad outside and she had so much fun going up and down the slide our neighbor gave us as well as playing in her water table & daddy's water table. Needless to say she was a mess when he wrapped up around 3p so we all got cleaned up and then headed out for some errands/food for the rest of our evening.

Sunday - Happy Mother's Day! Maci & Clint gave me the cutest card that Miss M picked out. They also gave me a sweet gift of 5 different gift cards for 15 min chair massages at our gym at work. Clint knew this was going to be a crazy next few months at work for me so he thought it would be the perfect way to take a brief break in the day and to get some tension rubbed out of my neck/back. I am so excited to use these. I then got to take another nap and enjoy hanging out with my family the rest of the day!

Lots of Love,
C, K & M
