Daycare Days

We have celebrated Brylie's 1st birthday!!! Blake and I decorated the front porch for her when she got here that morning!!! Then Ellie, Malia and Blake helped me make and decorate cupcakes for the birthday girl!!!!! They had so much fun helping decorate and celebrate!!!







We also had a baking day last week... it had been a crazy week weather wise, it rained rained rained and we were all stuck in the house, driving each other nuts!!! HA.... so I planned a fun baking day to keep our minds busy and give us something fun to do!!!
We made rice krispies, puppy chow and m&m bars!!! Everything was SOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!

Back in the saddle again!!!

I'm just going to get right to it, I am a HORRIBLE blogger and I promise to keep up with it better now!! The blog has been put on the back burner for awhile as we have been dealing with a lot of things around here and I felt everything else needed to be addressed before blogging!!! Now that I think we are back on the right track I have vowed (FOR MY OUT OF TOWN FAMILY, ESPECIALLY NANA LORI) that I WILL keep up with my blog!!!

There is so much to catch up on, I'm just going to put up all the pictures I have taken in the past few months!!! I got a new camera a few months ago as well, so I NEED to start taking more pictures!!!! Hope you enjoy!!!

Visit from Nana Lori and Easter 2011

Well after months of no blogging I am finally back!!!

NANA LORI VISIT
Last weekend my mom was finally able to make it back for a visit, it had been since October and that is just way too long!!

The weekend was spent just hanging out, the weather was horrible, rainy and cold and just nasty. We headed to the circus Friday night, it was a little boring, but atleast it was something to do! The rest of the weekend was just spent inside, relaxing and hanging out, the kids dyed some easter eggs and played!!

It was so good to see my mom again, really wish we could talk her into moving back this way, so we didn't have to go so long between visits!!

WE LOVE YOU NANA!!! MISS YOU ALREADY!!!

EASTER 2011

We had a wonderful Easter this year!! We started our festivities Saturday, we dyed eggs, made cookies, cupcakes and chocolate and coconut birds nests!! Then of course the Easter bunny came and left stuff in the kids' baskets!!

We go to my grandparents every year for Easter, so Sunday we headed over there for dinner and a fun scavanger hunt I planned for the kiddos!!

The weather was beautiful yesterday so we headed outside to try and get some family pictures, which DID NOT work out, my children especially Blake were not having it, so we gave up!! Maybe next time!!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter!!

CHRISTMAS 2010

Christmas was WONDERFUL this year!! Christmas Eve we joined my sister and her family for their church service, then came home and had a steak dinner with my dad and then opened presents between our little family:)

Christmas Day, we got up and found that Santa had stopped at our house!! It was pretty questionable, but he must have decided that the kids were good enough!! LOL!! We got ready and headed to my Grandparents for lunch and presents with my dad and sisters family!! That night we had Christmas with Seth's dad, sister and brother and his girlfriend Rachel at our house!! We thought we would change it up a little and we made tacos for supper... Hung out for awhile and played some games!!

We had a great Christmas and both kids really enjoyed themselves!!

Enough with the jibber jabber and on to the pictures!!
