A few pictures from this weekend...

We took the boys strawberry picking this weekend, they had so much fun and in turn Rick and I had fun.  It's funny how that work huh, if the boys are enjoying themselves it is impossible for Rick and I to not be happy, even if we are sweating, carrying huge bags of stuff pushing a stroller through Disney, if the boys are smiling we are good!  One of the perks of being a parent I guess. 

Anyway back to the task at hand, we took the boys to Spencer Berry Farm on Sunday, I wish we would have gone a week before as most of the strawberries were over ripe and mushy, we managed to get some but they have already turned even in our fridge.  So it goes, without further ado, here are the monkeys picking berries....

Scrabooking Summer

A while back I purchase a great scrapbooking kit designed by a wife a a guy I went to high school with, I am very envious of her scrapbooking skill, and am making an effort to try harder to preserve our pictures.  We take so many pictures that just sit on our computer for no one to enjoy, so this kit was the perfect opportunity for me to try out my new resolution.  So here are my first 3 pages....



If you want to see some beautiful scrapbooking layouts check out Jenni's Blog , she is really very gifted when it comes to designing scrapbooks and she did a wonderful job creating this mini book kit for Elle Studio .

Okay so I am so behind....

Easter Weekend was a lot of fun at our house.  The Easter Bunny left the boys some fun stuff and of course lots of candy, the boys and their Papa had lots of fun coloring eggs, and Grandma Bern, Re and Dee had fun too!!!

So How Do You Like It?

What do you think of the new blog design? Didn't Jenifer do a great job? It is a work in progress but so far so good! She is wonderful and I am so happy I won her services from the EB auction! Money well spent!

I hate spring...

No really I hate it, I hate the rain, the unpredictable temperatures, but mostly I hate that it is the beginning of hell for my allergies.  Seriously I have horrible allergies year round but I can deal with them most of the time, but April/May are by far the worst.  Really all the spring blooming should make people happy, it just should, winter is finally over and everything is greening up.  It makes you want to be outside, want to make everything look pretty and colorful.  I still want to do those things but how much can I get done when I am doped up on at least 2 doses of allergy medicine and my eyes are constantly hazed over because of eye drops.

So there it is people I hate spring!!!!!

Some pictures of my cuties!!!

The fam and I went to Florida this past weekend, here are just a couple of pictures of the cuties from our day at the beach!  We had lots of fun riding on the boat and J got to see some Dolchins (dolphins in J speak) and playing in the sand, wish we could have played in the water, but alas it was still way to chilly!

Enjoy.  Also FYI make sure you get sunscreen on your scalp or you could end up with some not so fun peeling in the hair oh joy!

Working on their Power Ranger moves while everyone else gets ready!

Channel markers, I don't know why I am fascinated by these but I am!

Snacks on the way to Keywaiden!

Not 30 seconds after I took this photo the bigger of the 2 birds swooped by me with a big fish in his mouth, not the greatest moment for those of us afraid of birds!

R setting up the toys for the boys!  He is such a great dad!

I love this picture I don't get him looking at the camera much but when I do those eyes are great!

J man watching something, he is just so darn cute!

So What's New

Well almost nothing, that's what, I feel like I am stuck in a rut. I know it is winter, have I ever told you I hate Indiana winters? I mean I know what to expect, and I'm going to be honest, in December I actually like winter, but come February I am done! Winter does this every year to me, just yuck, I am ready for warm and sun!

Boys are doing really well, R is really excelling at school, I worry that he will get bored, I was like that it makes it hard to get through a day when you are bored. I don't want that for him, but also know that gifted programs won't start until he is a little older, not that I know he is gifted, I mean every parent thinks their child is gifted right? I just remember how that was for me until I was moved into the advanced programs.

J is still a constant source of amusement for me, he is such a little clown and will do anything to make you smile. It is like that is what he was given to us for, like no matter what may go wrong, he can make you laugh. I just love that about him. It is funny to see the two of them together, they are so alike but also different as night and day.

The boys start Karate this weekend, I promise to take some pictures and post them it has been forever. Then Saturday we are taking them to their first hockey game, should be a lot of fun, I haven't been to one in forever!

Nothing else is really going on here, starting to plan spring break with the boys, should be fun!

Ta ta for now!
