Gotta love GREEN!

We had to share some fun pics from our St. Patty's Day party. We decided since everyone and everything is sooo stressed out in this world that we needed to smile with friends and forget about everything for a night! So we sent out the emails and the party was on! The one rule for the party was if you did not have green on somewhere that you could not get in until you found some green. Everyone played along and it was a great time to laugh and just have fun with friends! Hope everyone enjoyed some green beer as well :0)

Pool Time

We enjoy going to the pool as a family and the kids love it because in the middle of the indoor pool is a slide and water fixtures and they just have so much fun. Jack loves to go in the lazy river and go across the log ropes. He is getting really good at them! Samantha loves to go in the warm pool and just float, she is pretty confident in the water and loves to splash. It is always a relaxing night when we head to the pool so we try to do it often. Now that it is warming up we can spend more time there. Yeah spring is coming and we can start going outside more!

Crazy Hair Day

This whole week has been spirit week for Jack at school. He has been so excited to participate in all the fun activities that it was so cute to see Samantha get excited as well. Jack wanted to have a green mohawk for crazy hair day so of course it was off to the party store for green hair paint. While Samantha and I were there she decided that she wanted to color her hair as well and chose a lovely shade of purple. Now Jack was going to school where all the other children were going to have crazy colored hair. Samantha on the other hand was going to a play date and hanging out with mom all day where no one else had colored hair. She looked so cute and she was so proud of herself to be like the "big" kids. Jack was a great big brother, as usual, because even though it was his day he shared it with her and made her feel like one of the gang. Jack's mohawk turned out pretty cool and he is now trying to decide what pajamas to where for pj day. Oh the dilemmas of a seven year old :0)

Rascal Flatts

It has been a busy week for Chris and I with work, but the weather here is trying to get a little warmer. The next week is suppose to be in the 70s and things will hopefully be slower for us both. The kiddos are doing great, Jack is loving school and is looking forward to spirit week next week. Samantha is growing more and more every day and getting to be such a big girl! She is very independant and gives Jack a run for his money every chance she gets. This weekend my wonderful hubby got my friend and I Rascal Flatts tickets and what an amazing show! We were down on the floor about ten rows back and the stage was circular so there wasn't a bad seat in the house. We had a lot of fun and Chris and the kiddos had a fun night together as well. Its hard to believe that we are already into March! That means spring is around the corner! YEAH!

Jack's 7th Birthday

It's hard to believe that our little, big boy is seven years old. It was such an amazing day in 2002 when he was born and now here we are in 2009 and he is even more amazing! He is sweet, nurturing, and he has such a wonderful sense of humor. We feel very blessed to have such an amazing son and we look forward to all the wonderful things he brings to our lives. We celebrated as a family and some friends by having a bowl off at the bowling alley. Jack was quite the bowler and he loved playing air hockey as well. It was a fun night and its always good to see his amazing smile! Happy birthday buddy!

Valentine's Day/Chris' Birthday

Happy Valentine's Day! For us it is not just Valentine's day, but also Chris' birthday. Yes he is quite the little cupid! For the day we just spent some family time together just hanging out and then it was off to dinner to celebrate. He chose a Mexican restaurant and yes we went to Target afterwards. How can you go wrong there. Afterwards it was back home to finish off with a cake for Daddy. Hopefully Chris made a great wish that will come true soon. We love this day because it is all about love and with love it does not matter what material things you have because as long as we have one another that is all that matters! On this day we wish you all love and feel very blessed that we have all of you in our lives. We love you all!

Still crazy busy!

Yes we are still busy here! Let's see, Samantha was suppose to get her cast off, but when they took it off her arm was not healed so they put her back in a cast. UGH! Jack lost another tooth so he has no front teeth now and is having a difficult time eating apples. Man he looks so cute though! The weather here has been so nice that the kiddos have enjoyed getting out and finally getting some vitamin D. It's not going to last much longer though since we are suppose to get snow on Sunday :0) Maybe we will get some sledding in then. Chris is still busy as ever and putting in a lot of hours, but he loves it. I as well am going, going, but so are all of you I am sure. Hang in there in everyone and enjoy the little things! (Like date night on Saturday, yeah!)
