Happy 2nd Birthday Levi!!

Wow!! I haven't blogged in two months!! I guess life gets busy with kids. There is so much to catch up on. Levi turned two and for his birthday we kept it pretty low key. The week before we went down to visit our parents for Thanksgiving so we celebrated with them them. I took the boys to get a Mickey Donalds for lunch but Levi feel asleep in the car so he ate his when he woke up. Then when daddy got home we went out to Red Robin. Haha we don't usually eat out that much but it was a special day. Earlier in the day Levi got to open a few gifts from me and Sammy. He got a new outfit to wear for the day (Two Toy Story shirts and a pair of jeans and a TS gun from Sammy.) Later when we got home we got home he got to open his last present (A giant Buzz Lightyear) and have some cake!!

I will say the first two years of his life were a really big struggle for me but now things are much better. He still has his days but who doesn't. He is truly a joy!! He makes me look at the world in a different light. The faces he makes and the things he says just crack me up. I LOVE hearing him talk. He's such a blessing!!

Let is Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Right before Thanksgiving we got snow!! We had so much fun throwing snow balls, making snow angels and even building a snow man. Since we don't get much snow out here I had to dig out some hats and mittens for the boys to wear. They LOVE snow!! Actually this was Levi's first time in the snow! It has snowed a few more times since that but not enough to really play in so the boys are bummed. But maybe we will still get one more snow storm so they can play one last time!!

Leave Levi alone for two minutes and come back to this....I can't keep up!!!

Getting So Big!!

Happy Halloween!!

This year the boys went as Batman and a Fireman. Sammy wanted to wear and still wants to wear his Batman costume everyday. He asked all day long if it was time to Trick or Treat. He was so excited!!

When it was finally dark outside we headed out to get some goodies only for Levi and I to come back a few minutes later. He just didn't want to go. He thought everything was scary and kept throwing his pail on the ground. We came home and handed out candy. Chris took Sammy around the rest of the neighborhood and he scored some major loot!!

Hangin with Nanny

A few weeks ago the boys and I went down to visit my parents. The weather was beautiful and we got to play outside for a bit. The boys had fun feeding the fish. Fearless Mr. Levi gets a little to close to the pond for my comfort but he still has fun. Sammy got to mow the lawn and go in the "big hot bath." (The hot tub)

Sammy's First Drawing

Sammy has been learning about how God created the earth at MOPS and Cubbies. His "homework" was to draw a picture of what you see out our window and this is what he drew. It was the best thing I have ever seen him draw. I was so proud that I couldn't wait for him to be done so I could hang it on the refrigerator.
