Playing Catch Up...

So it's been almost six months since I've posted here - how sad! It's certainly not because I haven't been taking pictures - I've got hundreds, so here is just a quick sampling, in random order, since last September!

Here are some adorable shots of Molly with her cute ponytail - she barely has enough hair to do it but when I do Megan's hair she always wants me to do hers, too!

Here is what happens when you leave sheets of stickers in a 3 year old's room...

I'm not sure if I should thank the sticker manufacturer or the fact that the door was not finished, but either way, the stickers came off very easily, thank goodness. Daddy would not have been pleased.

Since starting preschool, Megan is very much into painting at home.

Here's a shot of Mason in Illinois on New Year's Eve when we went to the Lego Museum and Ikea. He got a new Atlantis Lego set and was putting it together in the hotel.

Remember these are in no particular order so here is my Grandma (GG) and Molly at Christmas. We are so blessed to have GG in our lives - she is in her late 80's and still kicking strong! It was special this year because the presents she gave my kids were things my mom would have picked out.

The kids and I made special presents for Jeff for Christmas this year - they painted on blank canvases for his office downstairs. I helped Molly with hers (notice her hand and footprints for the flowers) but Megan and Mason each did their own.

We jumped in on a tradition some friends of ours started a few years ago - going up to Door County to cut down a Christmas tree and then staying the night to swim and hang out with friends.

Just a cute shot of daddy and his little girl watching tv. Megan can't get enough of her daddy.

Here are the kids and I at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in the fall - a fabulous place for family hikes. They were having a special Dr. Seuss nature hike for the kids when we went.

Megan showing her dimples...

Mason showing his handsome smile.

I'll hopefully see you back here soon:)

Birthday Girl - September 5th

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Birthdays, Dozer Day, Sooo Big and Other Exciting Events...

Here are some recent pictures of our adventures in random order (basically the way I pasted them in here).

There is something so sweet about the side profile of a baby's head - so precious.

The first of many Sooo Big pictures of Molly (her latest trick) - she always tilts her head to the side and gives a sly smile...


Trying to get a nice picture of Mason but Jeff had to stick his head in to make it goofy - I guess I now understand why Mason does that all the time...

Here is Megan with her new friend, Lexie. Lexie's mom Lindsey and I are good friends from MOPS so the girls see a lot of each other.

Megan is becoming a show-off for the camera, too now.

One of a few shots from Dozer Day. It really is quite amazing to see how big the equipment is there. The tire the kids are in was literally taller then Jeff or I.

Just one of my favorite shots of Molly. She looks identical to Mason at that age.

We took our kids and some cousins to Build A Bear for Megan's birthday. It was a blast and we basically just hung out at the mall that morning. Quite fun and no mess to clean up!

Megan named her new bunny, "Bunny".

Here she is opening her present from Mason - a large My Little Pony with lots of pink sparkly hair - she loved it!

Another Sooo Big from Molly...

Mason and Megan on the first day of school...

(for once, not at each other's throats in the morning)

Mason coming home from his first day of school - by the looks of his smile, I could tell he had a great day. Lots of good friends in his class, desks this year and a great teacher!

Megan just being her cute self...

One of the first times I walked in to find Molly standing up - time to lower her crib!

And another Sooo Big... (does that ever get old? Not for me, but I'm her mommy!)

Ok, last one, I promise...

And a cute shot of Megan and Mason jumping on our bed at the Country Springs Hotel. We had a gift certificate to use so we spent just one night in the Governer's Suite and had a blast at the waterpark and arcade. A nice little get away, not far from home.
