More Maple Fun

Every year Keith's family heads east for an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast and more maple festivities. Pretty sure I out ate everyone there!!

After breakfast we explored the town square a little more. I think the boys favorite was the fire truck they could climb on.

Grandma "Puppy" bought everyone maple stirers (maple syrup that you stir until it turns solid. YUMMY!)

*Ty's adorable hat and scarf (his favorite) are courtesy of my mom. Ty LOVES them!

Hung This Up Today

in my dining room. More vinyl projects to come.

Best Friends

Paige hanging with her best friend this morning.

St. Patty's Day

I realize that I'm not Irish and that my children are only a fraction Irish, but I still think St. Patrick's Day is so fun!

The boys were so excited when they came down for breakfast and saw that a leprechan had snuck into our house and turned our milk green, which in turn made our pancakes green.

This little leprechan got off the bus this afternoon. So cute!


While we were at the store the leprechan came back and left a note on the front door with a poem sending them on a hunt for this fun toy, hidden in our hall closet.

It was beautiful weather, so we spent the rest of the day playing outside. Paige is liking this sun thing!

I'm Wishing For This...

Maybe for Mother's Day?.....Keith?

Remember when...

...I had time to post almost every day? Maybe one day that will be the case again, but for now I'll play catch up whenever I can, the best I can. Here's the lastest (sort of)...

Maple Sugaring

Two Saturdays ago we took the kids to a maple festival where the boys had a chance to tap a maple tree, collect sap and see how it is turned into maple syrup. the boys also had a chance to ride a train through the woods--definitely Carter's favorite.

Tae Kwon Do Green Belt Test

This month Ty also tested for his green belt in TKD. He waited a long time for this and was so excited to advance, unfortunately he had to miss his last basketball game for the test.

Family Game Night

My cousin and her kids gave the boys this cute "Horton hears a Who" game the last time we were out visiting. Carter and I play it all the time and the other night we played it for family night. The boys love it. Keith thought that giving me the bird the whole time he was wearing the elephant hat would prevent me from posting a picture of him, but I was able to find one clean one. Too bad it doesn't show him walking on his tip toes or flapping his arms like a bird!

Nine Months With Bear

Nine months!!! I can't believe it.

This little girl is awesome! She has turned into such a little person these last months. She has the sweetest personality. From such a high maintanence infant she is now such a laid back, happy baby. She is developing a little sense of humor too. She cracks herself up and loves making others laugh too.

This month she also became mobile. Not a full crawl yet, but a strong army crawl that gets her anywhere she wants to be. Watch out world.

As you can see from the pictures below, she doesn't like sitting still for long.

Happy Birthday Keith!

It's official, Keith is again 1 year older than me. Keith celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday.

Every year on Keith's birthday he celebrates by taking the boys somewhere fun. This year it was a huge indoor playground/junglegym. The boys had a blast celebrating Keith's birthday.

We all celebrated that night @ our house with dinner and cake with our family.

Can you tell the boys were excited about Aunt Beth cake?

Me and the birthday boy.

LOVE her!:

My little Carter played so hard, he fell asleep in the basement, watching the big boys play Wii.

My sister-in-law and me,

Oh yeah, I dyed my hair DARK brown this week in a totally spur of the moment decision. Here are those pictures I promised you, Whitney and Jimmy. Gotta love the self-portraits...
