this is why I'm a stay at home mom.


I would hate to miss these beautiful moments . . .

On a sunny day we love to head to the park/lake to feed the ducks and play on the playground!







(a bite for Jo, a bite for the ducks, a bite for jo, a bite for the ducks . . .)






Love little Lexey. She wears this dress and sweater every day possible. She also loves her pink shoes.



 So excited to see all those hungry ducks!
 how is it this baby isn't at all nervous about this? ... maybe cuz she's never had a duck bite her fingers trying to steal food...
  ummmm....getting a little too close for comfort!

Happy double digits to Calvin!

It is pretty much impossible to believe that I have a 10 year old.
 
We had a nice lazy Sunday birthday this year! Calvin request waffles (after trying to request going out to OHOP but that didn't work for him).

 He used some of his b-day money to buy Clare a sword so he'd have somebody to fight against!
 best photo of all 4 kids we could muster!
For Calvin's birthday this year we went to Lego land the day before on Feb 9th with some family. We love Lego land! It is a great place and perfect for the ages of my kids.  Waiting for a roller coaster!

 Lexey and Calvin LOVE roller coasters!
 A bird pooped on little JoJo's head! YUCK!!


Right at the end of the day, Clare decided to go on her first roller coaster. Here she is pumping herself up and getting excited to go on!

Loving the front row!

Lexey and Grandpa Bob!

The whole gang!

For his actual birthday we had family dinner. He picked Hawaiian Haystacks and banana cream pie. He asked everyone to give $ instead of presents or a party from us so that he could get the new Nintendo 3ds and a game to go with it.  Since Calvin spends so  much time on the bus he likes to have electronics. He has loved the new Super Mario Bros 2 game he got for the ds.

Tressel's 4th birthday!

Jo and I took Tressel to the beach for his birthday! He loved it!  Jo loved it too! After 4 years of having a dog I am sort of starting to love him. I was wondering if I should just get rid of him now so that we don't have to be heartbroken when he dies in 6-8 years....
 




Jo highly recommends going to the beach in jammies. You can peel of the sandy layer and be all clean underneath! Awesome!
