Be Spontaneous!

So yesterday me and Chris decided to take the kids to the new Childrens Museum. It is a tad on the pricey side but they had fun so it was worth it! Since it was a very last minute decision I didn't have my camera. Here are some pics I was able to get with my phone. There aren't any good ones of Carter cuz he couldn't sit still long enough to get a pic. :) It was a blast! I love my weekly outings with the kids. Each week gets better and better!







And here are some pics of how I have the windows for Easter along with one pic of Carter while he was pouting... so cute!

Short & Sweet?

Family update...

I always start these with no clue what to say and they end up being a novel. I have every intention of this being short and as sweet as possible ;)

Rob is still workin away and doing everything possible for everyone. He is looking forward to Softball starting in a few weeks.

I am still loving the time with the kids! I have taken up a new hobby - baking. I am having so much fun with it! I have gotten SO much stuff for decorating cupcakes and cookies. I don't know why I started with that little obsession but the boys love earning cupcakes or cookies. (Now I have quite the collection of baking extras :D )When they each get 10 eggs on their behavior chart they get a reward. In the last few weeks, a few of the things we've done is go to the library twice, 2 play dates, cookies & cupcakes w/ their friends... fun stuff!




















The boys are doing well. We are looking into starting them in separate preschool classes. They need the time away from eachother and with more kids.

It is late and I'm tired.

Peace out

The Big 7-0!!

Recently my great grandparents celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary! In an age where 7 years seems like an eternity, I cannot help but be amazed. Their child-like playfulness is often lost in our own lives.

People marry later and divorce sooner. Yet, here we have a couple who married at 19 & 17.... 70 years later they can still look at each other with a love we all can only hope to find.

The family that has spread so far away, came together again. We came for many reasons -but in the end it was the same.... to show two amazing people how much we love them and hopefully show them what has grown from their years together. We gathered as their friends & family. Children & grandchildren. Great-grandchildren & even great-great-grandchildren! What a sight we must be.

The Birthday Edits

Well well well. It has been a while - or at least so it seems. We have been working on repainting a lot of the boys' room. Some of what was put on their wall was not exactly ... child friendly. GREAT! It was all done by a 20yr old guy who is expecting his own child. I can't believe it! Sadly, I can actually. All I can say is PAYBACKS ARE A BITCH! I believe in Karma and he will get his!

As for the rest of their room - it is really fun! It's just a bunch of fun wacky colors all over! Even their decorations. I got a bunch of Dr. Suess stuff to put up on their walls. I got them some bean bags, organizers, totes, and I am having some shelves & cubbyholes built that we'll paint. I'm setting up a "reading corner" since they love books & I want to make sure their room stays for a few years. I've also been looking at some of those inter-locking foam mats for their floor. They are expensive though. We have been able to get more and do more with their room because of Christina being so generous. It has allowed us to put in that reading area and get more storage. We did buy them swim suits from aunt C also. I figured she'd love that.

Anyway- I'm excited and look forward to their new pad
