12 days till Nicole's Birthday!

And here we are, coming upon Nicole's birthday. It's amazing to me that she is turning 12 this year. I am so very thankful that she chose me to be her mother. I love you sweet heart. I hope you enjoy these 12 days leading up to your birthday.

Playing on the playground

We had a bit of time in-between our evening activities, and the rain has stopped, so we got some fresh air. Something about the gloom and rain that just drives us stir crazy. We are looking forward to warmer weather and longer days. But for now we'll take whatever we can get.

the day before Ceci's birthday!

2 cookbooks to cook up some very yummy recipes! One from grandpa and one from us. I wonder what recipe she'll choose to try first.

Ceci got a very cute piggy bank for gift #8. She fell in love with this piggy bank last week while looking for a gift for her best friends birthday. Hopefully she enjoys saving her money in it.

Ceci LOVES, LOVES, LOVES NERF GUNS. This gift Tom picked out for Ceci. Gift number 6 is a NERF gun Bandolier to stock pile her ammo. I can only imagine the plethora of Nerf bullets all over the yard this Spring as I mow the yard.

Ten Days till Ceci's Birthday.

Ceci asked if she could have 1 gift each day until her birthday. Day 1....color pens. I love this idea, and Nicole is having a blast picking out her daily gift.

2011 Ice Storm

What a beauty it was this morning. As much as the girls thought that they would be guaranteed a day off from school today, they did not. What a bummer but atleast they don't have another snow day to make up.

My little girl is growing up.

I have come to full terms that my little girl is growing up. We are doing the unthinkable or so I thought until now. We are trying Nair our first step to shaving her legs. You should have seen Tom at Target as I was picking out the best option. So as I have hit this point in my life as a mother I thought it would be fun to start blogging the life of mom with pre-teen girls. We'll see how that goes. So for now enjoy the funny picture of my little girl trying something new.

It's all about the love.

At times our house can be so crazy, loud, chaotic, and the list goes on and on and on, and having 3 dogs in the house on top of 5 adults and 2 pre teen girls only adds to it all. Then I stumble upon times like these and I realize how much our dogs are a part of our lives and how much we love them.

We're Back!

So our blog got some sort of virus. Some how I do things like that, hence Tommy has to run virus scans quite often on my lap top. I have some catching up to do!
