Spring is on its way!

Last week, since it was starting to get warmer out, I thought it was a great time for the whole family to get outside and get some fresh air. I took quite a few pictures, but the kids didn't want to sit still long enough.

There was little boots splashing in the puddles of melted snow, and even ice snowballs (made by the husband) hitting my back and being thrown into the back of my shirt.  Conner thought that daddy had the best idea in the world so he started throwing snow at my butt and putting snow down his sister's back. Boys!

 

Today I caught the spring cleaning bug and cleaned all my windows, swept the front porch, cleaned out the husbands garage, cleaned the BBQ (why am I doing my husbands chores?) and even went  through all the kids toys and clothes that they have outgrown or never use.  Guess tomorrow I'll be making a trip to the salvation army... I have two large garbage bags full of clothes and 1 large bag of toys. Also a large box full of old dvds and books that the kids have no interest in.

 

This weekend and next we are going to be busy... we'll be getting kids signed up for swimming lessons, and next weekend we will be visiting Toms friend (from work) and the kids will get a chance to learn where maple syrup is made and even get to tap their own tree. Sadie's the most excited because Tom mentioned to her that she even gets to ride a horse!

 

 

 

Happy 3rd Birthday Conner!

Someone turned 3 yesterday! 

It's crazy how fast my baby boy is growing. He's not a baby anymore.

 

This is a cute picture I had to take of Conner when we were coming home from breakfast. Somehow he was able to grab Tom's work helmet. Tom is hoping that in 18 years he will follow his footsteps!

 

 

After going out for breakfast with my family, we came home and Conner opened a few presents

 

Conner got a tractor from Beppe and Pake

 

 

Ninja Turtles from Mom, Dad, Sadie and Aunt Nicole and Uncle Scott!

 

 

In the afternoon, Toms family came over.

 

 Someone loves Ninja Turtles

 

 

Someone got really spoiled!

 

At the end of the night Tom and Conner were having a blast playing with Conner's new remote controlled car. I had to have the kitchen timer set for 2 mins so they were able to have equal amount of time per turn.  Sometimes it seems like I have two little boys.  

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

I'm back!

Its been four long years, but I'm back. I've had a lot of friends asking me when I'm going to update my blog. Well its a New Year so I've decided to come back and write to you what is going on in my life. I hope later in life my children will be able to read this and see pictures and read comments from family and friends. Since I last posted we've had an addition to the family

Conner was born on January 11th 2012 In just a few short days we will be celebrating his 3rd birthday. It's crazy how time fly's by!

When I first started blogging Sadie was only a year old. Now she's going to be 5 in March. She started junior kindergarten last September and its amazing to watch and see how much she has grown. She is actually becoming her own person. She's got an opinion for everything and she's not afraid to speak her mind.

Mom's big girl.

Sadie has her carseat facing the front now.

She's getting so big fast.

New Chair.

Sadie got a chair from her Aunt Cindy, for her birthday.

She loves to sit in it.

But she also finds different ways to use it.

Heres one...

Sadie's First Wedding.

We went to Cousin Eppie and Terri's wedding.

This was Sadie's first wedding.

She did do good.

After the ceremony we brought Sadie home.

Her "aunt" Sandra and "cousin" Isabella were babysitting.

But mommy and daddy had fun...

CHEERS to the Bride and Groom!
