Pictures are here!

Here are a few recents of our Livvy bug. She sure is a stinker lately! She is into everything, crawling...pulling herself up, and she absolutly loves getting into her brothers toys. Oh sibbling rivalry...:-) And its only the begining!









Evan playing outside in his cozy coupe...or he calls it, his van.

Pictures are coming! I have been so busy lately as always, I hardly have time for anything, let alone blogging!

We have been staying pretty busy. Between projects at home, or weekend trips...there is always something! :-) Its funny though, because we purposly make it that way. There is always something needing to get done.

Ryan has had off from school the last 2 weeks which have been amazing! Its so nice to see him every night, and not have to have him leave to do homework. While he has been home, he has been working in the basement alot. He just layed the flooring and we painted the play room. He is working on tileing the shower and floor right now. Hopefully it should be complete by the end of the month or mid june! Cant wait! It will be so nice to have more space! When the weather is actually good, he has started Evan's playset. The tower is built and he attatched the slide so Evan can go down it. Evan absolutly loves it! He could go down time after time again and not get sick of it. Its so much fun to have more things to do outside now! We are just waiting on some nice days to get the swingset part of it built.

A few weekends ago we took a weekend away and headed to Cabela's, Splash Universe and Ikea. What a great weekend away! It was so nice to get away and relax for a few days. Evan and Alivia LOVED the water park. Evan loved going down the slides. My wonderful husband decided it would be fun to send Evan down the enclosed twisty slide and see how he did. My poor little boy! He didnt cry when he came out, but he definatly didnt want to do it again, and now calls it the scary slide. Poor little peanut. I didnt even like it, so I cant imagine the thoughts that were going through his head.

We of course headed over to Cabelas as well. No big purchases there. Ryan has everything he needs for next hunting season so there wasnt much we needed to look at. Evan loved seeing the fish, and the animals, and Alivia just liked looking around. (Speaking of hunting! I forgot to mention, Ryan got his first turkey ever a few weeks ago! I am not real sure what he is going to do with it, but the meat is in the freezer....do people actually eat wild turkey?? Anyway...he was happy and now it looks like he has another hunting season in the spring! Oh joy!)

Ikea was wonderful again as always. We didnt get a whole lot, mostly stuff for the kids rooms and little things here and there, but it is always nice to make a trip out there to see everything again. Good times.

The kids are growing like weeds!!! Alivia is crawling all over the place. She started doing that about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Her favorite word is Muumma which is awesome. :-) The little stinker is also pulling herself up on stuff now. I couldnt believe it when I turned around yesterday and she was standing next to her table. She has done it numerous times since then as well. Cant believe my baby is so grown up already!

Evan is basicly potty trained. Occasionally he will have a accident, or just doesnt get there quick enough but he is so much better about telling us when he has to go, or sometimes, just goes by himself. I LOVE IT! Its so nice not having to by two sizes of diapers everyweek!

Well...I think thats about all. Pictures will be coming!
