Double Trouble

A few of my favorite's from this winter that I never got a chance to post!

Soccer and glasses for Will

A few months ago we found out that Will needed glasses. He is far-sighted but we've been told there is a slight chance he can outgrow it. In the meantime, we've had the joy of convincing him to wear them every day, fixing bent nose pieces, replacing scratched lenses, and all the other fun that comes with a 4 year old in glasses!

We also started him in soccer. He has quickly shown us that he has NO interest in this sport. Most games and practices are full of him wandering around on the field, asking when he could have a drink or a snack, or asking if it was over yet. The pictures below are the from when I told him he had to play to get a snack! Needless to say, we will be trying t-ball in the fall and dropping soccer!

Easter - a bit late

Easter was full of inside easter egg hunts, coloring eggs, and fun easter baskets. The kids are old enough that they got really into the hunts and all the activities this year!

Birthday Party Time

Will turned 4 in February and got to celebrate it twice with family so he was in heaven!

Then we had a joint b-day party for Will and Morgan at Pump it Up. Nanny and Papa even came in for it from Oklahoma so it was a special treat!

Little miss Morgan then got to celebrate her actual birthday with a small cake at home with us.

December

Since I'm so far behind on the pictures again, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on the descriptions but I will say it was a fun month with tons of great activities. The kids were at such a fun age this year and it really made the holiday season magical for us!

The first snow of the season...



Attempting to sit with Santa...Morgan wouldn't go anywhere near him!


Will's preschool Christmas program...



Christmas in Kokomo with the all of the Benziger's.....such a great time! The kids had a blast sledding with all their cousins and playing around!




Early Christmas present from the Pautrot's...they played non-stop for hours!



We continued our annual tradition of making cookies. Each year they've gotten better and better!


Not sure if you can see them but I couldn't find our Christmas cookie cutters so all of our "Christmas" sugar cookies are hearts, the number 2 and 3, etc.

I took TONS of pictures from Christmas Day as well as the rest of the month. This is from Christmas Eve after they set the milk and cookies out. For all the rest of the pictures from the month go to our web albums.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!

Oklahoma and Thanksgiving 2010

I'm behind once again but what can I say....I'm a working mom with two little munchkins at home to keep me busy! We took a trip out to Oklahoma in October to see my wonderful mother and father in-law. Other than a minor incident on the way there, the kids did fantastic on the 14 hour drive.

Once there, we of course had a blast. The kids couldn't get enough of their grandparents and even got to see their Uncle Brian and two of their cousins. There are a tons of great pictures in the web albums but here are a few of my favorite from the trip!

For Thanksgiving this year we met Mitch's parents at Teresa's house. They have a beautiful house and we loved being able to stay with them and spend some quality time with family. Thanks Teresa for the wonderful food and great times! The kids enjoyed playing with Julianne and feeding the ducks and all the other fun things they could find.
