Proud Daddy Moment

Yesterday Seth brought the loader in from Godbersen Smith to get a big log out of our yard, and of course I had to take Blake outside to check it out, and oh my goodness was he excited to be in that loader with Daddy!! Seth had the biggest grin on his face too, he was definetly a very proud Daddy... They were too cute:)

Park Time Again

Last night Seth and i decided to take Blake to the park again beings it was still pretty nice out and there were chances of rain... Katie and Kadon were walking down the street so we picked them up and they came with us, and as we were playing Jodi pulled into the car wash and let Ellie out to come over and play, when Jodi was done here and Pia came over to play... The kids had a blast all playing together and Mr. Blake siezes to amaze me everyday, he is just climbing around the equipment and next thing I know here he goes down the slide all by himself, i didn't know whether to be scared or happy for him, it was too funny... Then Ms. Malia the little spit fire she is (HAHA) she thought she needed to go down the slide by herself too, but of course Aunt Jamie wasn't going to let that happen, so we went down the slide side by side, she is too cute and boy did she get a kick out of that... I think Ellie was pretty excited to have Kadon there too, those two just played and played together and had a blast... I'm sure you are all getting sick of the park posts, but there are new things happening everytime we go...

(For those of you wondering Malia has Blakes hoodie on, it was kinda chilly out and Jodi didn't have her dressed for the park, beings they weren't planning on going to the park, so she looks like a little boy, but we love her anyways!!!!!)

TIMBER!!

A couple weeks ago I had mentioned to Seth that I would like the tree cut down in our back yard, because it was too close to our deck and it was half dead and branches were everywhere in our yard. Well next thing I know 'Mr. Motivated' has the man lift at our house and he is cutting down this 100 foot tree by himself!!! It was a little scarey at first, I thought for sure he would drop a branch on the house of something, but the only damage done was the bottom step of our deck got broke, easy fix though... Well it is down now, and alls that is left is the stump, I am so excited now that it is gone, the next step is to get the fence up and a nice little play area for Blake to be able to run around outside without ending up at the end of the alley:) Blake got a huge kick out of Daddy cutting down this tree that he got his spider man couch out of the living room and put it right in front of the sliding glass door and sat there and watched Daddy cut down this tree... It was too cute...

BEAUTIFUL weekend

This weekend was so beautiful, but windy, of course!!! Also was my first weekend off since tax season has started, so it was nice to be able to get some stuff done around my house and enjoy the nice weather... We started our weekend off with going to Sioux City to do a little shopping, then I met up with Jodi and Adam and we went to Ellies dance night at the high school, they all did very good, especially Ellie!!! Sunday was our usual day of grocery shopping and laundry, YEAH, my two least favorite things HAHA... We managed to squeaze in a trip to the park, Blake woke up from his nap and told Seth, "Park, Park" so Blake, Ellie and I went to the park for awhile, they had a blast... Blake is such a dare devil it is scary... The pictures will tell you everything:) That about sums it up for our weekend...
There are also some random pictures of the weekend...

Our Weekend

Not much going on around here as usual, i wish spring/summer would just hurry up and get here already!! We are definetly getting spring fever around here and itching to get outside, Blake goes to the sliding glass door all the time saying "GO,GO" but it has just been too windy and chilly for him to go outside... It will get nice soon, then i will be complaining because its too hot and can't wait for Fall:) HAHA But anyways this weekend we didn't really do much, I worked at the office on Saturday so that shot the whole day away, and Sunday we didnt do much either, called Jodi to see if Ellie would like to come over and play for awhile, so Blake and Ellie had a blast, Blake just LOVES his ELLIE... I took them to Pamida and got them each a treat and a toy, we couldn't forget about Pia either so we got her a toy too!!! Thanks for coming over and playing today Ellie, Blake loved having someone to play with!!! Well thats about it for this week...

NEW CAR!!!

FINALLY we got a new car!!! It has been a long time coming but we finally got our new car... We got a 2006 Chevy Equinox, I absolutely LOVE IT!!! HAHA I crack myself up on how excited I am about it, but after having my good ole Taurus for what 6 years now its nice to have something NICE and reliable... I told Seth I can't wait until we can go on our first road trip and not have to worry about the car breaking down!! LOL.......

Thats about all the exciting news around here, except for the fact that tax season is about over and I am almost done working at Wilsons!!! I love to help out but this year has been a year, thats for sure and it will be nice to have my nights and weekends back again to spend with family... I will try to get some pictures of Blake for you mom, because I know how much you miss the kids and how horrible I am at updateing this...

Happy Easter!!

HAPPY EASTER!!! We started off the weekend by heading out to Moorehead on Saturday for the annual easter egg hunt... Blake had a blast, he loves the little plastic eggs to begin with so when he saw them on the ground and could pick them up he thought that was pretty cool... Sunday the Easter bunny made his way to our house and left Blake some goodies... It was so cute seeing Blakes reaction to the basket sitting on the couch, he was so excited and ripped right into everything... PRICELESS!!! After the basket we dyed eggs, again Blake couldn't get enough he LOVED it, it was too cute... Then off to the bath and shower so we could get to Jodis house for dinner!!! While at Jodis we had another egg hunt in the yard, it was a little cold but the kids could have cared less, they ran around the yard looking for those eggs... Then Grandma Schafer surprised us with more gifts, Blakers got the new Tadoodles for little kids to learn how to color, this one was the stamper and Blake had so much fun with it, Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the present!!! After all the festivities were over we came home put Blake down for his nap and Seth and I both layed down and took a little snooze ourselves... Everything was great this weekend, Thank you to Jodi and Adam for the wonderful meal and everyone else that helped make Easter so much fun....... Also Blake got his hair cut like a big boy on Friday, so in a couple of the pictures you can tell from the back there are NO MORE CURLS:( But he looks so grown up now!!
