Arrrrrrrrr Matie! I be 4 years old!

We celebrated Jack's 4th birthday today with a pirate party. When I asked Jack about what kind of party he wanted he said, "I want a Pirate Party with steamers and balloons." Easy enough. We ate cake. We made treasure maps. We opened presents. Thanks to all our family and friends who helped celebrate today!

I became a mom. A day I'll never forget. Happy Birthday to my favorite 4 year old!

Forest Park today

We drove down to Forest Park and met up with the Knese girls today. It was awesome weather until the wind picked up. We played on the playground, had an inside picnic lunch, and even went on a bike ride. Kids are napping and I'm off to finish laundry, so here are some pics from today. P.S Go Crusaders!!! My nephew Travis is playing in Quarter finals soccer against Priory. Best of luck Travis!!

Fall 2011

So I've been a little absent form the blog. Trying to keep up with kids, work, and Darrell gone for deer season leaves little time for other things. I'm getting back into the swing of being a working mom, but it's a challenge with two! Especially since they are not at the same place each day. But it's working! Jack is LOVING preschool. He tells me exciting new stories everyday. This week is all about the letter "H" and learning Chirstmas songs in music class(for the Christmas program). Megan is Megan. Growing and learning everyday. I love this age(15 months) everything starts to click and they turn into little sponges. Just wish I was home more to see it.(mom guilt). So here's a little picture update...Halloween, pumpkins, and fun.
