ANOTHER SUMMER AT LAGOON!

We LOVE lagoon! This is our second year to get lagoon passes and it is money well spent! We never have a boring day in the summer because if we have nothing to do we just pack up a lunch and head to lagoon. weather we are going to go swimming at their beach or go for the rides we can always find something fun to do there!We honestly go at least once a week some might call us die hards but we think we just like to have fun! Our kids enjoy it every time we go they never show signs of being bored of it, they are excited each time we pull into the parking lot! Sky is almost big enough for some of the bigger rides this year like the white roller coaster and the spider, so we have snuck him on each of them a few times (shame on us) Abbie is big enough this year to do the bigger kid rides like the lady bug bop, she loves that she can do more this year and so do we. Also if Nate and I ever need a cheap date night we call a sitter and go to lagoon for a few hours. So needless to say we absolutely love our lagoon and have fun all summer going! If you are every going and you want someone to show you the ropes just give us a call or if you just want some company to go with you :)

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

I can't believe it.... Sky turned 5 on the 29th! He has been so excited to be five and thinks he is so big now! We celebrated his birthday all weekend we started on Fri his actual birthday, we had cake and went to the drive in movies and saw "Up" it was a very cute movie I even cried. :) On saturday was his BIG friend party we had 15 kids here and it was a blast! We rented a bounce house and had my sisters inflatable water slide set up the kids had so much fun! I was so worn out by the end. Sky got a ton of fun presents thanks to all who came and celabrated with us!

On Sunday we went to Nates parents house for a little party and had MORE cake and presents HE is definantly spoiled! All in all we had way to much fun this week end. Hope you had a great birthday Sky we love you and think you are the coolest kids ever! :)

Getting so big!

Skyler is officially graduated from preschool! This was a bitter sweet thing for me I can't believe he is going to start kindergarten in the fall. It really feels like just the other day I was taking him to his first day of preschool (and yes I cried that day too.) He has learned so much the past two years as he has attended his school he had an INCREDIBLE teacher Miss Mindy. He loved her and will miss her, when Abbie gets old enough I am for sure sending her there. It has been so fun to watch him grow and learn new things. He can spell some words, write his name, write all kinds of words with a little help, he knows the alphabet, can count to an endless number, His coloring skills have improved a ton and has just gotten to be such a mature little boy whom we love so much. While at Preschool this year he has made friends with a very cute girl her name is Allie and he thinks she is very special! He and Allie played together everyday and if he came home and forgot to hug her goodbye he would be very upset! So at his graduation him and Allie had a long talk and said goodbye I have pics of it posted below sooo cute! Well we are excited and nervous all at the same time to experience the adventures of kindergarten, I know he will do great and have so much fun I am just going to miss him during the day. I am sure I will get over it and even love having him gone for part of the day.

Thank you to Miss Mindy for all your amazing work you do for these cute kids!

I am so proud of you Sky you are such a smart boy and a good friend I love you!

Picking daisy's in the out feild!

Skyler had his first Tee-ball game on Monday, It was to funny! I honestly could not stop laughing. These cute kids were trying their best. Skyler was on second base and when they threw him the ball it hit him in the face because he was day dreaming the whole time! I couldn't help but start to laugh then I checked to see if he was o.k I know horrible ha! I love t-ball because they don't keep score and they don't have outs so it is just fun and games. Sky really has enjoyed it so far and thinks it is awesome to be on a REAL team! This will definantly be a highlight of our summer to watch him learn and grow in the game of baseball.

Six Years

We where married on April 24th 2003! I have had the best six years of my life. I am so blessed to have Nathan as my husband. Six years ago we started our family and the fun has never stopped! In honor of six years I am going to make a list of six things I LOVE about Nate. There is so much more than six, but I will do my favorite six.

1. His love for his family
2.His passion for life
3.His loyalty
4.He makes me laugh ALL the time
5. He never takes life to serious
6. He is an AMAZING dad and husband who provides for us!

I love you Nate and I am so excited to spend all eternity with you. There is never a dull moment while you are around you are my BEST friend and a wonderful man!

Easter Weekend!

We had a very fun and exciting Easter weekend. We spent it in Flagstaff Arizona with Nate's brother Aaron and his wife Lindsey Ayla Lindsey neice was there visiting at the same time my kids loved her and thought she was so fun to play with!
We had lots of fun doing all different kinds of activities. We went to an African Safari Zoo it was very cool to see all the exotic animals. It was feeding day so we saw them get fed all sorts of nasty red meat. We went on the safari ride that lets you be right nest to some of the animals and feed the giraffes. When we got back I noticed I wasn't feeling well and Sky had a temperature that night Sky didn't get much sleep he was sick and the next day he spent sleeping and getting better. We found out we had strep throat so we took a day off from fun and rested. The next day was Easter and we had a big Easter egg hunt Aaron and Lindsey live on an acre with their horses so we had a large area to hide the eggs the kids thought it was fun we also did a pinata so needless to say they had TONS of candy! Nate made a little fire pit on their property and we made smores and just hung out by the fire that night.We did a bunch of other fun stuff while we where there we went swimming, shopping, hiking, hot tubing, rode horses, and had wii play offs! We had so much fun and cant wait to go again. Thank you Aaron and Lindsey for letting us come visit and showing us such a good time we love you guys and already miss you!

Few and far between!

So I have No camera right now and so my post are few are far between. But for a little update on what has been going on in our lives.

Abbie, is fully potty trained, even at night she hasn't had an accident for a long time!
She is growing more and more everyday! Her speech has also gotten expanded she is talking like crazy and we love it.

Skyler, is almost done with Pre school he has enjoyed every second of it! I have him on the waiting list for Syracuse Arts Academy I am really hoping he gets in. We have also signed him up for tee ball it starts in May and I think Nate is more excited about that than Sky. :) He is going to be 5 in May and I cant believe how fast it has gone by.

Erin, I have been busy being a mom and trying to get the day care put together every day! I am always getting new kids and it is fun to see how each child is so different. I am STILL on my diet it has been really slow lately and I have been very frustrating! Nothing to exciting going on with me.

Nate, Well if you know Nate you know he always has a new project going right now he is digging out our rocks in the back Yard and rebuilding a rock wall. He is about half way done and I hope he finishes soon. He is still out of work and we are just waiting for ABF to call back they said they are hoping to call him back at the end of the month! Keep your fingers crossed for us.

That is about all that is new in our lives. We are going to Arizona for Easter to visit Nate's brother Aaron we are very excited for that. we will keep you all updated on our job situation thanks for all your help and prayers while we try to get through this. Love you all!
