...Happy St. Patrick's Day! Brayden and Carsen Elise had their cousin Drew spend the night the night before so they were all excited and surprised when I made them Green Pancakes for breakfast!!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind? I don't know this song, but hey its New Years!! Happy 2010 to all of our family and friends! For New Years we drove, yes with all three kiddos, to Denison,Iowa. We went to go visit Michael's sweet grandparents for a week over the holidays... SNOW SNOW SNOW! I don't think that I have ever seen so much snow in my life!! It was fun, but so cold... -22' was the highs and I don't remember the lows, they were so low!!

This is looking out the kitchen window, so beautiful!!

This is looking down the sidewalk, the snow was taller than Carsen Elise!

HaPpY NeW YeArS!!

Its My Party...

and I'll Cry If I Want To... although it is my party, I didn't cry! Even though I turned 30 in December, it was a great day!! I have so many things to be thankful for; Michael and my precious babies!! I can honestly say that I never thought I would be 30 but now that I am, I feel a sort of pride that I have made it this far!! I have been through a lot in these first short years and I cannot wait for the next 30!!

this is all the present I need!!

WOW!! 30 candles is a fire hazard!

Just A Little Patience...

Guns N'Roses says it best and no I am not a huge fan of theirs, but the song holds true to our millions of blogfans out there... "Just A Little Patience" and I will get this all updated! Tomorrow there will be a lot of catching up, so get ready!!
again, thanks for the patience!!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho...

...It's Off To Work We Go!
We have been on the go ever since thanksgiving and I know I have a lot to catch up on!
We just wanted to say Merry CHRISTmas to everyone! This year we decorated before Thanksgiving and had wrapped presents under the tree... we told the kids that it would be time to open the gifts when the snow came... well it came!! This has been such a special time for us, Walker James' first CHRISTmas and really one of the first that Brayden and Carsen Elise really knew what was going on!! I will write more and post more tonight... but right now we are building snow families, shoveling the drive, playing with new toys, and most of all celebrating Jesus!! We are so blessed and cannot wait to see what 2010 brings us!!
