Must jump ahead to the present....

To say:

Happy Birthday Cooper!!!!

We started his birthday out bright and early at 6:30 AM before Tim left for the day. Chocolate chip pancakes and presents! A bit early, but always fun! We're off to M'Ds for dinner at a track meet with Tim and then play at the Y. A jammed packed birthday with a party on Saturday as well!! Happy Birthday my precious baby!!! We love you!

And, a Happy St. Patrick's Day to ya as well!

Can you see how we've grown?!

For Grandpa and Grandma

I've wanted to make these for a long time and finally got around to it. (What with all the snow this winter!) They turned out really cute and I think I'll have to make myself some someday.

Blizzard of 2011

We hunkered down for the blizzard and survived being home together for 3 days. We made an obstacle course one afternoon to get moving! Move the blocks, make a tower, over the stools, through the ball pit, hopscotch, through the tunnel, get the ball on the bed, shoot a basket, wrap the baby and put her in time out! Good times!

Stuck inside....

So, let's craft!

Grace did all the cutting of the hearts for her "Guppy Love" Valentines. She did the mouths and signed her name, and I helped her with the glue. I also wrote the sayings on the backs...

"Best Fishes this Valentine's Day"

"You're oceans of fun!"

"May all your fishes come true!"

Too fun!

(This might be the first project that was actually cheaper to do than buy because I already had all the stuff. Saved me like, $3, right?!)

Cleaning....

I found the kids singing, "Daddy doesn't like a dirty house!" and cleaning everything they could reach with their brooms. Maybe they don't know how to use those properly because they see it happen so little?

Three Wheeling with The Family!

Here is our First trip to Ben and Laura's for some three/four wheeling fun. Tim couldn't make it this time but went back the next weekend with us. (I'll have to get those pictures from their camera soon.) Cooper was fearless, and Grace enjoyed it until she got cold. I was brave Mommy and went a couple of time with the kids! The adults had just as much fun being big kids that day, I think!
