So, the Easter Bunny had a fun idea this year...instead of baskets he brought new boots! The kids were so excited! We celebrated Easter a day early in Columbus, before we headed to Florida to see Grandma Linda. It must have rained a lot while we were in Florida....the soccer fields were bascially a giant pond. A perfect place to try out our new boots. D&R could not wait to splash in the mud, but poor little T did not want to get her new boots dirty...my little girly girl!
So, this morning we woke up to the "Blizzard of 2008", I believe the official snowfall was around 20 inches! The kids were excited to go out an play in the snow, and take a sled ride! Dylan was excited to use the super cool snowball maker he got for Christmas from Uncle Chris. I have to tell you it really works, and that little twerp nailed me smack dab in the middle of my face with one of those turbo snowballs. Don't worry, later in the day I found him stuck in the fence (yes, he tried to climb the fence with his snowboots on). Did I come running to his defense...no, I ran for my camera. Unfortunately, he broke free just as I was about to snap the picture. Here are some of my favorite pictures!
And, just because I think this one looks especially cool in b&w!!
Oh, the cabin fever is setting in...but we are on the home stretch to SPRING!!! For some reason I have not been enjoying this winter, and I really used to love winter. I had a winter wedding for a reason! Anyway, it could be that I am getting old(er)...but I think the real reason is the LONG walk I now have from my car to my office. Honestly, I paced it once and it was over 500 steps. For those of you that keep track of steps that is about 1/4 of a mile. So, I now have to wear a scarf, earmuffs (I don't want frizzy hair..it does not go well with my fat) and gloves! Not happy! So, the other day when Chris (Uncle Chris that is) called an said he wanted the kids to come see him and get some hot-chocolate...we jumped at the idea. Of course, I had my camera...don't ask! The kids enjoyed their hot-chocolate...but they really enjoyed seeing Uncle Chris at work (sorry to all the other patrons there that evening...my kids were WIRED).
Can you believe we actually had a day warm enough for Reese to try on this new outfit? It didn't last long, but it gave us a bit of spring fever!! How sweet is this little baby, she just melts my heart!! She is really starting to say so many words, but one of her very first words was "crocs". She loves her crocs and would prefer to wear them everyday! She is such a funny little thing!
At first it was Annie, then High School Musical and High School Musical 2, now it is HAIRSPRAY! My daughter listens to the CD everyday and would like to watch the movie everyday too! The other day I caught her rooting through her closet for a dress like "Amber's". Grandma came to the rescue with this adorable dress for Valentine's Day! Now, she can really "Can't Stop the Beat"
!!
I hear this all the time, especially when we are together. I take it as a compliment...not sure how he feels about it!!
I love these pictures, he looks so serious; which as anyone who knows him will tell you he is generally the opposite! I was just playing around with the color saturation of the pictures.
I have never tried "blogging" before, and really until recently would have totally rejected the idea. I am not a writer, never have been. So, I have always been a little intimidated by these types of sites. However, so many people I know have these really awesome blogs, so I felt like maybe it was something to try. It may be a nice creative outlet for me...something that is lacking in my life right now. I will try to update this every couple of days, so that family and friends can keep up with our wonderful, crazy life! I found these adorable Valentine's Day outfits for the girls, and couldn't resist a little photo shoot!! The kids were so awesome...as it was quite cold outside! Enjoy!
