Seriously

We are well past the baby stage and things should be "easier" these days. The problem is I have two boys. They are constantly running, jumping, falling, tugging, pushing and pulling on everything and each other. I.am.exhausted!
This morning in my normal ridiculous run around the house in 8 minutes to get out the door and on to daycare Ryan insisted on wearing his snow suit and not his winter coat. Whatever, wear it. I might have tried to shame him into wearing his coat by saying his classmates were going to make fun of him (parent of the year). This did not work as I have a 2 year old, you know the -I'm Mr. Independent state of life?
Luckily in the get Connors shoes on, mine on, where is my purse, put your coat on, what sippy cup do you want, where is the dog, let me warm up the car moments he over heated and took it off himself. He also took his shoes off which delayed us even farther.

New Years Resolutions

Run Jump & Play

 

There is this amazing place the town over called run, jump & play. For $10 a child they can run all over an indoor play ground, jump on trampolines and about 10 bounce houses and play with the high schools who are there...it is their job to entertain your child so you can pop a squat and breath for an hour while your child becomes exhausted and preps for a nice long nap when you take them home. Yes please!

2014

A great friends Mom is going through a cancer battle for the second time and I really like the quote she wrote:

As the New Year begins, I have reflected on a few lessons I've learned in life: I've seen better days, but I've also seen worse. I don't have everything I may want, but I definitely have everything I need. I might have woken up with some aches or pains, but I woke up. My life may not be perfect but I have no regrets and I am truly BLESSED! 

Here is a picture of Ryan from this morning working on his resolution for better care of his teeth??

Merry Christmas- 2013

Having a 2 year old and a 4 year old equals so much fun, excitement and joy to the holidays. My parents came in town and were loads of help as always. Ray and I even squeezed in two dates!

Holiday Pictures

We are so lucky to be able to have a healthy family of four, to have the means to take family pictures and to have you in our lives. Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksiving

We had a WONDERFUL time with family this Thanksgiving. We have so much that we are thankful for.

Christmas Concert

It was adorable! Connor last night at his school sang;
Jingle Bells
Feliz Navidad
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and Santa Claus is coming town

Sorry the video is sideways.

Green/Red

We have thought Connor was color blind as he never knows green is green. After an appointment at Children's opthology where they performed 24 tests.....he is NOT color blind, he just doesn't know green for some reason.  They dilated his eyes but ray said he didn't even mind because those people are miracle workers and know just what kids need to put them at ease.

A new club

It is the end of an era. We use to frequent SAMs club once a week for diapers and formula. Thank goodness those days are over. Our membership ends December 31st and we no longer have a need for it. I I loaded up one last time on the essentials that should last us a year. 

Now on to soccer games and other clubs to fill the void.
