Catching UP

Wow...so I have a lot to post since December. I am going to try and do this (just like my sister Kim)...we will start with some highlights from Disney. We were fortunate to enjoy a week in Florida over Christmas and my parents rented a fabulous house that we all stayed in! We are blessed to have such a wonderful family!!! (albeit as crazy as we can get and as all sisters do, we still fight - even as adults), but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Then we have Parker's first ever attempt at playing Basketball! He joined the Upward league here in Wadsworth and shocked us all the first time on the court...he really did well! Best part (besides his best bud Michael being on his team) was that he ENJOYED it!! So proud of my Fightin' Illini (his team name).

Next we move right onto Conner's 5th Birthday. How can it be that my baby boy is 5!!! Where do the years go? We had a little celebration on the day...and the that night he started throwing up, and followed it up with pnemonia (great way to have a birthday). Luckily, his party wasn't until later in the month. He had his first ever Friend party! We had it at the zoo and everyone he invited came!!! He had a blast....worth every penny spent!!!

Easter then came....and went!

So without further ado...I will start uploading pics.....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We will be traveling with the boys to Orlando to catch up with my Mom, Dad, Sisters, Brother in laws, niece and Auntie Paula. Four days of Disney!! Here we come!!!

Mom and Dad are NOT looking forward to the 18 hour car ride, but life is an adventure and about making memories....so I keep telling myself!!! LOL!

Thank you all for being such a huge part of our lives...we love each of you near and far!!!

I promise to post some pics when we return.

Here's to a wonderful 2011!!!

Sleigh Rides

For you Mom!

So, over Thanksgiving Break...my mom and I went to a festival in Medina. I ended up winning something I put a ticket in the raffle for. It is this adorable wooden tree with suckers and you could swap out the lollipops each season! So cool...I was really excited to be a WINNER!

Dashing through the snow.....

In a one horse open sleigh!!! We took the boys on a real Sleigh Ride today in Burton, Ohio. It was worth every penny we paid. The boys had a blast and it was so nice to be out in the open air, no sound but the horses hooves on the ground and the bells jingling on their necks! It was really neat and what an experience that is not done regularly. So glad and so blessed that we are able to do these neat things for the boys!

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

Our pirate turned 42!!!!
