Am I back???

Hi girls, I have been reading your blogs and I think I am inspired to write again. I need to write something down somewhere to remember the things these boys do. Right now, Shane and Nate are coloring Lightning McQueen pictures (or as Shane says, "Lightlin McQueen"). They are calling each other "rotten babies". I'm starting to think about their 3rd and 5th birthdays. Here are some pictures from last years birthday....






We had a dinosaur pajama party. Fun times :)

Yuck

I am soooo done with feeling sick (plus I have to work tonight). My head feels so heavy and my nose can't decide what to do...runny and stuffed up at the same time. I even took about a 4 hour nap today and don't feel better. Okay, enough whining.
I have some pictures to post, but not enough time to sit and do it. Maybe tomorrow. Friday is Shane's third birthday. Man I can't believe he is getting so big. We are going to go to Toys R Us and pick out a toy. Not sure what else because Chris and I both work. Sunday though should be fun. Chuck E Cheese!!! Enough for now....

Just a quick note before work

I don't have enough time to post pictures tonight. I have to work all weekend, so I will try to post Easter and other random pictures next week. I love this warm weather. I would not mind if it ever snowed again!! Today Shane and Nate enjoyed the sun too. We found a couple of bargains at garage sales. Nate took a step today! We were all outside and Nate was chasing after a ball. A couple of times, he would stand up and walk to it (just a step...but still). How exciting!!

Legen...Wait for it...

Last night I stayed up until almost 3 am watching my favorite sitcom of all time.... How I Met Your Mother (sorry Friends). I have now seen all the episodes from Season 1 and 2. I love the story and it has some of the best comedy EVER!!!

....Dary

Waiting

I am just waiting around for work while the boys are at Luke and Ella's birthday party. I am not liking missing family weekend things very much. But, we do see Chris more, so that is a huge plus. Here's a picture of Shane being silly this past week. I love when he says "No, I willn't" instead of won't. Haha! Nate isn't walking yet, but he is getting closer I think. We got his walker out and he can take a couple steps with it. Then he crawls with it. Oh well, it's a start.

Here are the boys on St. Patrick's Day! I have always wished I was Irish, but at least they are (a little bit anyway).

Have a good weekend!!!

Another day

Same old, same old. Nothing new to report. Just busy with Shane and Nate. The weather has been beautiful! I really miss the spring/summer when it is miserable and cold, so I am loving this nice, warm air. Hope it lasts (I know it's going to be cooler tomorrow, but I'm staying positive). Walks are so much fun around our neighborhood when it's sunny. Dogs are out, people are cooking on their grills, the ducks are swimming.... you just can't be sad when you are outside enjoying life. I just wish Nate could walk so I could let him down more. When he does walk, I know I'll complain about that too. Ha ha!!! He's so great though, can't complain too much. Well it's bedtime for Shane. Wish me luck!!!

Pictures

I've finally downloaded my pictures from the two last week. Here are some of my favorites:

Shane and Corinne at Chuck E Cheese last Monday. They each had 50 tokens! Which they used very quickly :)

Cheesy smile!

Shane doing Pop A Shot. He actually made a few shots!!! Future basketball star maybe???

Another shot of Shane and Cori. Unfortunately I did not get any of Nate. I had to hold him the whole time cause I did not want him crawling around the floor.


Here's one of Nate having a fit in his high chair seat. He was so upset and I still have NO idea why!


Shane's favorite activity: drawing (and coloring).


On Tuesday we all took a trip to Toledo because Chris had to pick up his transcript from his time there. We found a Don Pablo's and had lunch/dinner there. It was great! Here is Nate sitting in a highchair.


Shane eating chips!


Since we were so close we decided to go visit Michigan. Here's the welcome sign from the car.


And of course since we were in Michigan, Chris had to visit Ann Arbor (much to my protest). It was actually really nice.



Here's a picture of the Big House. This was as close as we could get since it was rainy and under construction.





A view from the other side. UM was actually pretty cool. We drove around the campus for awhile. I told Chris we could come back for a game sometime. At that time, I will be sure to wear my Scarlett and Gray!


A shot from Bob Evans the next day. (We have eaten there 4 times in 2 weeks).


Shane at Bob's.


A few days ago, Shane was eating a cranberry juice popsicle. We wanted to see Nate's reaction. it was hilarious. His faces were priceless. This is the only good one I got of his sour face.

So we have had a busy couple weeks. I start working weekends tomorrow. I hope it will be okay, and I won't miss too many fun weekend activities. More on that later.
