Warm Weather

The weather has been so warm here lately. Today the rain is supposed to be back :( We have been playing outside everyday!! Levi loves it and I love that he can play this year!! He dives into the sandbox and is not afraid to get his little hands dirty!! Sammy is the opposite. If his hands start to get dirty he needs to wash them off with the hose. I can't wait for summer!!

We also got a new camera so we have lots of new pictures!!

Sunny Days

I guess we have been lucky so far this year. Our weather has been so nice. I took the boys to the park twice last week. I love that both of they boys can play now. Levi had a blast. He loved playing in the bark and with rocks. Well they both really enjoy playing with rocks...funny that must be a boy thing!! This week has been a bit more rainy so hopefully the sunshine will be back soon!!

Ramblings

The weeks have been pretty slow but the days seem so busy!! How does that happen. January seemed to drag on forever!! Our weather has been really nice...the days are sunny and not very much rain!! It is great!! I was starting to wonder if maybe I had SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) I have so much anxiety!! I am starting to feel much better. I think part of it is hearing about so much tradegy over the past few months. The earthquake in Haiti and for the people that live in the area then you know about the police officer murders. When I heard about the first one I felt heartbroken and then a month later four more were killed at the coffee shop I felt even more heartbroken and then a month later another officer was murdered I was in shock. I found out later that the last one to be killed worked out at my gym. I remember seeing his picture and thinking he looked so familiar well I guess that is because we worked out at the same time everyday. I always saw him biking and reading a book. I never talked to him but his death has really made me appreciate time. He was there on day and the next just gone!! I want to soak in every minute I can with my family. I don't want to miss a second with my kids. To sum it up I am just tired of the economy and want to see something great happen.

Now that I have that off my chest the kids are doing great. Sammy is working really hard in his preschool workbooks. I just don't know what to do about preschool. I have called a few different places and they just don't seem to work out for me. One was going to cost $500!! I was like I don't need full time day care just a preschool. I know of another one but it is a bit farther than I would like so I need to pray about it. For now we have work books that we look and we play learning games online and we are practicing writing letters. He is doing such a great job.

Levi is getting funnier by the day. He tries to imitate everything we do. So cute!! He is starting to take an interest in tv which I am not going to lie is nice. I can have him sit on the couch for 10 minutes and unload the dishwasher!! His favorite word is daddy. He always picks up the phone and says "daddy daddy" I am looking forward to watching him play with Sammy soon. Here are a few pictures.

A Case of the Blahs

I have a little case of the blahs. It is a slow time of the year the weather has been nicer out but we have been spending most day inside. Levi is still a pretty slow walker and gets distracted easily so it takes us forever to get anywhere. I am just getting frustrated with cleaning up messes and the kitchen. Levi is at the age where he gets into everything and I mean that. He will go from one drawer to the next so we stay in the loft and play but I am starting to get bored. Anyway spring is coming soon and Levi will be getting older. This too shall pass right?? I have been horrible at taking pictures so these are the best I got.

Cooking Blog

I love cooking and baking so much that I decided to start a cooking blog. I am horrible at meal planning so this is my way of helping myself remember what I cook and bake. So here it is...For the Love of Food.

Slow Days

We haven't been doing that much around here. Christmas really wore us out so we have been resting on the weekends. Chris got a Nintendo Dsi for his birthday and I liked it so much that he got me one...so we play Dsi together. We are dorks!! What can I say. I am looking forward to spring!! The rain is getting old...especially when it is super rainy like it is today!! Here are some new pictures of the boys. I really can't believe how big they are getting!! It is crazy!!!

Christmas 2009

Now that the holiday season is over I can return to blogging. We were so busy!! I think I baked something everyday. The food was so good. Now it is time to hit the gym!!!!

We had a very nice Christmas this year. It was so much fun with the boys. We had such a nice time together as a family reflecting on what Christmas really is. This was the first year Sammy really understood Santa. He was super excited!! He actually slept in until 8 because he kept waking up during the night. He got a kitchen which he absolutely loves!! He is always making us food. He is also really into Transformers so he has been having fun with them. Levi didn't really care. He just wants whatever Sammy has. I think I got the best gift tho...a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer!!!
