Here is the birthday boy on each of his birthdays: Baby Ben all 9lbs 10oz of cuteness! Ben looking like a cupie doll with his first birthday cake! Grandma got him a big wheel for his 2nd birthday, its pretty worn out now. Ooh we started a Chuck E Cheese tradition on his 3rd birthday, [...]
Our little girl turned 3 today! Its tradition to start the day with cinnamon rolls with candles (apparently candles in the 3 big kids’ pizza and individual slices of cake might be a new tradition we’ve added this year). She had a fun weekend with the airshow yesterday, the UP movie, Joey’s and swimming today [...]
Ooh it was cold just watching them! John had the boys dive to the bottom to get the thermometer and it said 55! At one point the top of the water was in the low 70s but the kids do NOT take after me when it comes to swimming in cold water. I can’t wait [...]
Yes we went sledding again today and we had the place to ourselves the entire time! Jillian went to grandma’s house so I got to do a little sledding this time. Jamie got to go solo a few times since we didn’t have to worry about other people crashing into her. I think we’ll be [...]
John took the boys to 6:45 AM hockey this morning, then to the bagel place, then to get chicken food and then to the SLEDDING HILL! I am so happy he took the camera so I could see how much fun they had. I can’t believe how much they did so early today and now [...]
Sledding went so well on Saturday that we went back Sunday and were joined by 2 families of friends! It was pretty windy the second trip but much less crowded and John got like a trillion smiley pictures of Ben (and the other kids too)! They all had a ball and went speeding down the [...]
Our Superbowl plans are pretty much the same as last years except instead of football shaped pizza we are having hotdogs and hamburgers. I better go get busy making the cake! Here is my Superbowl Fun post listing some online sites and football printouts AND the links still work!
Yesterday my car said it got up to 40 so after lunch I took Ben and Jamie out to play in the snow. I HATE bringing a newborn out in the winter so I haven’t taken the kids out hardly at all. When John is home he can take the older 3 out or I’ll [...]
On these cold, short days of Winter it can be real easy to stay inside where it’s warm, but some of my favorite childhood memories are of playing in the snow. I don’t remember the cold at all, but I do remember spending hours building snow forts and sledding. Carl Welden, a friend of mine [...]
Ethan picked our tree this year and he did a great job. We went 2 Sundays ago on a nice, sunny, not freezing day. All the trees were covered in ice so the kids were eating tiny icicle off of the trees and Jamie was eating snow too. It was a much heavier tree than [...]
