Bringing In Spring

Yesterday we welcomed the first Sunday of Spring Break by playing at the playground at Dylan's elementary school. We ran around, went down the slide, tried out the swings and enjoyed a pretty nice day outside, sweatshirts only. Then about two or three hours later we had this crazy snow storm. Luckily that only lasted about an hour or so and now we are back to sun (except freezing temperatures) so I am getting excited about seeing the signs of Spring. This week also marks where the next few years will take us. Today is Shane's hearing to see if his ticket for the accident while he was working will get dropped. Tomorrow he is flying to Reno to go to panel with UPS and find out if he will get his job back. This has been two months in the making so we are praying and keeping our fingers crossed that we haven't been waiting for nothing. At least by the end of the week we will know what our next step in the plan of action will be. I will be hanging out with the boys, scoring some good deals at Target (I can't wait, I've been having withdrawls since what November?), spending time with the family and baby Luke, hitting up Chuck E Cheese with all of our free token vouchers and helping Dylan wisely spend his birthday money. We'll be busy but I'll be around. In the mean time here are some pictures of the crazy stuff we've been up to.

Lincoln finger painting, he did end up doing about five masterpieces after this.

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
