Going to Bed!

The kids are laying on their couches as they watch a little T.V. before bed! They have to be right next to each other! Man...they fight....but they sure do love each other!

A day with Lily!

Today was my day to spend time with the Tink! We headed for The Magic House. As you know, Lily Claire is a monkey so she had no fear climbing up slides and wiggling through narrow halls and rooms. She kept kissing me all day and would say, "You my friend... mama!" It was soooo sweet! It just makes me hyper-aware of how when Anabelle comes my Tinker is still going to need lots of attention (all to herself). We had a great girls day. Lily explored and played. I had a blast watching her and spending the day with her! The Magic House is such a great place. Thankfully we got there before it got too crowded. Tonight when I put Lily to bed she put her arms around my neck and just hugged me. She is the sweetest girl!

A day with Aidan!!!!

Since I am on Christmas vacation I decided to spend a day with Aidan and Lily...all alone. Since Anabelle will be here before you know it I thought it might be a good idea to give them each a lot of individualized attention. THEY LOVED IT!
I surprised Aidan when he woke up and we went to the Donut Shop and had some donuts and hot coffee! You know how Aidan loves hot coffee!While we were there he kept asking, "Mom, this isn't mu surprise...is it?" We frequent the donut shop a little too often I guess. After that, we went to meet Caleb. We took the kids to Monkey Joe's and they had sooo much fun! Then we had lunch and went to play at Caleb's house. It was a great day! It is so nice to spend time with my Mr. Mr. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't have my blog set up yet. Darn!

What a Wonderful Christmas!

Our holiday walk at Suson Park where we saw animals and had cookies with Santa!

Aidan loved Santa and sat right on his lap. Lily wanted nothing to do with him.

Playing with our cousin!

"Ready! Aim! Fire!" Aidan plays with his gun from Aunt Beth.

Let's go for a ride! Lily Claire is all ready to go for a spin!

Tinker strikes a pose in her beautiful dress and heels.

Aidan as he unwrapped "Buzz Lightyear".


We had a great Christmas! This was the year of BUZZ LIGHTYEAR! Aidan got a Buzz shirt, jacket, sleeping bag, watch, and actual wings. His favorite was from Santa and that was the actual Buzz. Aidan was so excited when he opened it up! Santa brought Tinker lots of Princess stuff! She got some make up, jewelry, a princess dress, and a new purse. She also got a new Big Wheel to ride this summer. Lily really got into opening presents this year! After each present she would say, "Where my present?" I was so glad Matt got time off. We had so much fun!

A few days after Christmas it snowed. The kids had a blast making snowballs and sledding! Matt took them outside! I was not going to attempt to sled since I am pregnant. They loved it!

Getting Started

I am so excited to start this blog to keep track of our moments as a family. Aidan and Lily keep me busy so I was thrilled when my friend Kelly showed me how to do this. Now, with Anabelle on the way I am so relieved to have a way to save our memories. THIS IS THE STORY OF OUR FAMILY!
