father's day

They couldn't wait for daddy to get home from golfing and shower him with gifts on Father's Day...

Only a few hundred homemade gifts.....

And one very special personalized key-chain that the kids designed themselves.  We left room for baby's name...

Then some family time outside.  Our favorite way to unwind on Sundays....

daddy turned the big 3-4!!!

it was a lot of candles!!

 and someone's excited for cake....and yes, she does her own hair ladies and gentlemen...

spring has sprung

spring has been in full swing since early march! and we've already had so many days in the 80's, turned on our air and been slathered in sunblock....many of these pictures are almost 2 months old (it's cold right now - brrr!), but we are loving this spring nonetheless. and it's really amazing how some fresh air does the body good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. i am really disliking this new blogger look and it's not helping my lack of blogging. :(

girls' weekend

j went on an impromptu snowmobiling trip last weekend...

so it was me and my girls....friday night we met our friends abbie, ella and brody for dinner at b dubs...mmm.

saturday morning we headed out for my brothers' wrestling meet. the girls are doing so great at the meets and i've act ually been able to watch this year!

a little lunch after with the fam...

we enjoyed valentine sprinkled donuts....

we played dress up, of course....

and it's not a day in this house without stripping a number of barbies and lining them up on the stairs. ???

while we were out to eat, elena drew a picture of the 3 of us....apparently i ate the most.

sunday night i had a few girlfriends over for some chit chat and company...but adelyn had other ideas for me. she woke up and wasn't listening to my 'go back to bed' request....

we played lots of go fish....ad picked it up no problem!

and e's getting better at "losing..."

we were so happy that daddy got some much deserved time away....

but way happier that he's back with us!
