More Christmas pics!!

So much snow, so much fun, so much dinosaur. For those of you who don't already know, the boys love dinosaurs. That would be "Frankie" the boys are sitting on.

Christmas

Christmas was celebrated before and after the actual day, what more could a kid ask for?! We are thankful to have spent time with Grandee and Poppy opening gifts and having fun before the holiday. We love them so much!!
For Christmas we headed up north to Chicago to spend it with my brother and his family. It was a really good Christmas but also a difficult one. This being the first one without both of my parents. I would say the holidays tend to bring out a lot of memories. There were some sad moments but the boys help with their cheerful smiles and the mischief they got into. We enjoyed playing in the snow, riding the train, Shedd Aquarium, and spending time with family while up there.

I'm back!!

Yes, I have been quite the slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I wouldn't say I have been a slacker all around though. I'm sure everyone can relate to the busy holiday season, keeping your house somewhat clean, cooking, children, husband...do I need to go on?! There will be a few posts so make sure to check them out.

Here are some pics Joshua's teacher took for us. They turned out really well and it was a sweet time with the boys.

Happy Thanksgiving

The boys both had a feast last week at their school. It is so sweet to see them dressed up as Indians. Learning about Thanksgiving and being thankful. There is a lot to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy 3rd Birthday Dylan!!

My baby is 3 years old. Where has the time gone? I know in life it will continue to fly and each and every year I will ask the same question.

Dylan has been the rambuntious one of the two boys. Getting into everything, tearing everything up, breaking things, and just writing on things that shouldn't be written on. That doesn't stop us from loving him though. He is precious and sweet. He is also a character. He just cracks us up with the things he says and does. Happy Birthday Dylan we love you!!

Dino-mite Birthday

Since the boys birthdays are close we figured it would be just as easy to celebrate them together this year. Once again we had it at the park. In my opinion this is such a great place. The outdoor activities, bathrooms, trash cans that I don't have to empty, and simple fun. The weather was AWESOME!! A beautiful day for a birthday party. Since the boys are so into dinosaurs, of course they had a dino cake. Thanks to everyone that came. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends.

Happy 5th Birthday Joshua!!

Where have the past 5 years gone?! All I know is that they have flown by and my son is now the big "5". It has been fun to think about all the fun times we have had with Joshua over the past 5 years and we look forward to celebrating more birthdays and special occassions with him. He is such a joy and sweet boy. We love you Joshua. Happy Birthday !!
