Our HOT HOT Weekend!

What HOT weather we had last weekend Huh?!! It was SO nice though!! We got to spend LOTS of time with family and we ALL got some sun!! I feel SO much better when I don't look like I could disappear!! :) Too bad it's not here to stay :(

Johnny and Jacob playing with their cousins Abigail and Wyatt!

Baby twin cousins Olivia and Lucia visiting from Texas. They are the sweetest little things!! John really had fun with them.....as much as he wanted boys I think he REALLY wants a little girl!

Jacob roasting Marshmallows at Grandmom and Pop's house.

John, Jacob and Johnny crashed after a VERY long day!!

Johnny cooling off his little cousin Jadon.....It was hysterical!!

Granddaddy and all of his Grandsons!

What a FUN weekend we had!!! It really makes me realize how much I truly DISLIKE winter!! It's SO much more fun to get outside in shorts and flip flops and cook out!!

John is running in the Apple Blossom 10k this weekend...wish him luck, it is his first!!! YAY! I know he going to do great. He is a running machine these days!

Too soon....

I almost started crying today after picking Jacob up from school. I was flipping through his May folder and started thinking about how much he has changed over the last year. When you actually stop to think about it.....it is AMAZING! When he started school in September he was barely talking and now he doesn't stop. He couldn't say even part of the alphabet and now he an recite the entire thing. He couldn't count and now he rattles off numbers like it's nothing. It's only been eight months. Even looking at his pictures...he has drastically changed :( My little baby is a big boy now.......It doesn't even seem possible that he is going to be three in less than two weeks. Time is surely going by WAY TOO fast.

Jacob's first day of Preschool. 9/4/08

Jacob today...4/23/09

I'm sure you'll find me crying in a corner at his school program next month :(

What a weekend!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL weekend!! I think that was just what the doctor ordered for ALL of us!! We got to spend LOTS of time outside. I SO wish it could be like that all year round!! As you can see by the pictures....this is what the boys looked like by the end of the day!! Here's to warmer weather.....except for today :(

Easter Pictures!

The boys waiting ever so patiently to follow their trail of eggs!!

YAY!!!

Jacob watching Johnny very intently so he can do exactly what his big brother does!!!

Before Church!


Daddy and Great Grandmom trying to get Jacob to eat a HUGE strawberry with whip cream on it!! He said it was TOO big!!

We had a very lovely Easter with Family!! The cold that is making it's way around this house didn't hold us back.....except for the little Easter Bunny.....I am thinking she is getting worse :(

These holidays sure do come and go faster than they used too :( Or is it just that I seem to be getting older sooner!!

Happy Easter!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!!

Recent events!

Here are some cute photos from Jacob's Easter party at school yesterday. The kids all seemed to have a blast!!! As you can see from the photos Jacob is VERY serious at school...which is SO not the case when he is ANYWHERE else. It is so funny to see the difference in behavior. I think I need to borrow his teachers for a couple of months. We have a guest room!! Hee Hee!!

Don't Jacob and Jenna look so cute together?! They were even matching....it was very cute :)

On Saturday it was so windy that we thought it would be a great idea to fly the kite!! The kids had a blast of coarse.....I was just COLD. Don't like the wind very much, thank you. I SO preferred Sunday when I got to wear flip flops and do yard work.....Well, John did most of it!!! I forgot how hard yard work is and was seriously sore on Monday...a good feeling though!!

I cannot believe that we had flurries for most of the day here yesterday.....how ridiculous. I am very Jealous of ALL of the people away on Spring break frolicking along the beach.....NOT fair :( Hopefully that was just a one time thing!!!

It's been too long....

I know it's been a long time. Man it seems as if a lot has happened over the last month too. I have to say though, a BIG part of me not blogging was due to the fact that my page elements did not work. It was DRIVING ME NUTS. So I guess I sort of said F it.

Johnny lost his first tooth. Such a bitter sweet moment too. I really thought I was going to cry. Just wait....it will happen to your kids too...you'll see!! He is just loving school....asks me ALL the time when first grade starts :( I think it is going to be a HUGE adjustment having him gone all day. He is doing really well in school. Good grades. Good behavior. Just loves his friends. His diabetes is going well also. We recently switched his insulin to something a little less strict. He has taken to it extremely well!! I couldn't ask for much more. He is such a little man!!

Jacob is a HUGE handful. The kid just doesn't stop. Doesn't want to take naps. Doesn't want to sit still. Wants to know what EVERYTHING is. Doesn't always like the answer. Lets just say I am a little relieved every Tuesday and Tuesday when I drop him at school. I swear the kid is giving me a run for my money!! He is such a sweet little thing though. You just can't help but smile when he is around!!

My Grandmother passed away a couple of weeks ago. March doesn't seem to be a good month for the family. It was extremely sad watching my Dad, Grandfather, three Uncles and five Aunts say their goodbye's. I really wish I wasn't at this point in life where my Grandparents are at the age they are. I sure wish I could have them around forever.

John and I are doing good. We are both still working out five to six days a week. For the most part I enjoy it....There are days when I struggle though. I guess that is to be expected!! No one said it would be easy. We also found a Church that we are very happy with!! The kids love it as well. Something we all look foreword to each week!

Summer cannot get here soon enough. Myrtle is seriously calling my name :).....I can feel the sand between my toes!!

Alright...that's it for now. My fingers are tired!!...Oh, check out the picture of my Laundry closet. John redid the shelf that was there and then build me some more and painted!!! I LOVE it!!
