Happy Easter

We spent Easter with some of our families. And this was the first time that we have had Matthew for Easter. It was great. This is what life is about, family.

Ryan's first time in the swing!

I can't believe how big the kids are getting. I just have to tell you how much things have changed for me with the girls. We had so much fun over Spring Break, besides putting my back out for two days. I took them some place fun every day. We hit the Boonshoft, went skating and went to the magic castle. They had a good time. I am sure it was not as fun as going to the beach and spending time with my family, but I guess everything happens for a reason. We went to the park too the one day it was nice out. I have been doing alot of thinking about things when I was younger and what I loved doing. I remember I used to play Rummy with my grandfather out on his back porch, and we would play that the winner was the winner of the street, and the city, the state, and then the universe. I remember riding my bike to the beach and back. Good memories. I just hope that my children get to experience all that stuff. I remember playing with my neighbor boys, kickball and stuff, well the girls are out back today playing kickball with the boys next door. Just the little things in life that counts the most.

Matthew, Nadalie and Rachel have such a blast playing together, I sure wish that I had siblings that close to my age growing up. They are so lucky to have each other.

Collin is saying more words. He even says "love you". He gives us kisses all the time. He is just a sweet kid. But he sure has his other side. I caught him standing on our table. He tries to be very independent, he likes to walk out to the car now holding my hand of course.

Ryan is rolling everywhere, and is gradually learning to sit up. He gets his little bottom up in the air like he is ready to start crawling soon. Oh then the fun will start. Not sure if I am ready to chase around two little ones all over the house.

I love my children so much. I hope that I will always be close to them and be there for them no matter what!

Collin's first real haircut

2nd anniversary

We celebrated our anniversary at Cena the Brazilian Steakhouse. It was like a meat buffet. The cooks come around with different meats and you can pick and choose different steaks, chicken, lamb chops, pork and sausages. It was not busy and very romantic. Then we went and got some chocolates from the chocolate store by the mall that I love. It was a wonderful night! I can't wait until the next one!

Happy Birthday song!

Happy birthday Nadalie

Nadalie turned 10 last month. We went to Applebees for her birthday dinner where she ordered macaroni and cheese for dinner. She is just like me :). I also took her and two of her best friends to the Magic Castle and to Maggie Moos to have ice cream.

I can't believe that she is 10 already. She is still in girl scouts and she is now signed up to play Volleyball. I asked her if she was interesed in playing that and she said "yes put me in volleyball, basketball, soccer and football". Oh my my daughter wants to play football? She loves spending time with her baby brothers and playing with Rachel. And she can't wait for the days that Matthew comes home.
