Family Time!!!

Garrett, Trent, Finley, McKenna and Chance eating St. Patty's Day cupcakes, you've got to love the green icing!

Tired of saying "CHEESE"!! It's hard getting a cute picture of 5 kiddos!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sister, her husband and kids are in town from Arizona. They all came over for dinner, here are a few pics from the night!

Busy Times!!!

Just realized I haven't blogged in a while. It has been a busy month, but when I think of what we have done, it doesn't seem like we have been up to much at all. A few weeks ago we went to see Elmo, what an adventure. You never know how a 23 month old is going to take to having to sit in a chair and watch an hour and a half show....We were pleasantly surprised. He did terrific, he sang along, danced and had a grin from ear to ear the entire time, so it was well worth it. Each day we are amazed at how Chance is progressing, he is talking ALL the time and putting sentences together. He can say almost the entire alphabet and he counts to 11. On the other hand he is in to everything. He climbs, gets hurt and gets right back up and does it again, sounds just like a boy huh??

As for McKenna she is such a joy to watch grow up. She is reading on a 2nd grade reading level in kindergarten. She loves to write and draw. She is SO kind and gentle, especially with her little brother. She teaches him new things each day. He is lucky to have her as his big sister.

Spring break is here for all of us and it couldn't have come at a better time. As we are starting our week off, we are thrilled to be able to sleep in (if Chance lets us). I am taking McKenna to see Disney on Ice with a friend, hang out with cousins that are in from Arizona and hoping to get a little spring cleaning started. This is one of my favorite times of year...Weather changes, birthday parties for both kiddos, and the light at the end of the tunnel for the school year to be over......

No rest for the Weary!!!!!

With the Spring comes storms along with 2 small children. We had to bring McKenna downstairs b/c we had the tornado sirens going off, so she was in our bed for the night. As the storms continued it woke Chance up and he couldn't go back to sleep either......So before the night was over, both kids were in our bed with little room for us. We have a king size bed, but we also have kids that squirm all over, so we were pushed to the side....The things we do for our children. These photos were taken the next morning. We were up bright and early to get ready for the day and they were peacefully snoozing!!!! We were tired, but we both agreed they looked SO darn sweet!!!
