Of Course She Did!!!

I just wanted to share with everyone my precious little girls Easter outfit that she wore.

And this after I went to 5 stores and 3 dresses bought and brought home before she found one she was willing to wear. I'm glad I never found the perfect pair of shoes....










Also wanted to share a picture of my beautiful blue eyed boy... He seems so angelic...

Welcome to the sick house!

Okay I know - it has been forever since I posted and you are all thinking... I am going to stop checking this regularly cause she is slacking! No No!! STay with me! This has been a crazy couple of weeks with some of it being the fact we all caught the tummy bug! What fun in our house! Todd was the last to catch it - thinking he was cool enough to avoid it - and today was his last day of hooky from work and so hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a healthy house!! Yay!!!

But the other thing that I have done in the past couple weeks that kept me away was much more pleasant and actually life altering. I spent 3 1/2 days at a spiritual retreat called Via de Cristo. It was absolutely amazing and one of the most beautiful things I have experienced in my life! Besides the spiritual and emotional beauty - we also were located at a camp in Indiana with HUGE windows overlooking a lake and hillside and watching 8-10 inches of snow fall! WOW! If anyone of you ever gets the opportunity to go to a Via de Cristo (or Curcillo or Walk to Emmaus) - DO IT! You will not regret a single moment! I can't wait for Todd to go next fall so I can talk all about it with him!

Wanted to let you all know we were still here and to say we miss you all! Have a great week and a glorious Easter - remembering why we celebrate the season!

Love ya!

But they go with everything!

So what exactly do you wear leopard print and pink rain boots with? If you ask Lexi - the answer is EVRYTHING!!!

This has been by far her favorite Christmas present - she wears them 6 days a week. She might give into us on one occasion. (Thanks Unc Kev, Aunt Mare, Joseph, Jack, Erin & Emma!)

She even wore them with a floral skirt to preschool for her class picture last week... I think they stuck her in the back row to hide them.... ;)

This picture is just for Aunt Marianne since she thinks Lexi's only clothes are Leopard Print. Talk about stylin'!!!!

Finally

Last week we finally had a REAL snow day. Now our school system has had MANY called snow days - but there was never really any snow to actually be a FUN snow day. So finally last week we got one and the kids got to play in the snow. We got about 2 inches of the fluffy pretty white snow. The kids were so excited and Logan went immediately to start making snow angels. Lexi was much more hesitant in the snow and it took her awhile to actually even decide to touch the snow. But then we brought out the little sled and set up a snow bumper to keep them from going into the road and off they went! It was so hysterical!!! They were both loving it!!!! The laughs and 'screams' of joy were music to my ears! I even managed to get the driveway shoveled while they took turns helping each other get on the sled and going down.






Now this is what a snow day from school should be all about!!!! When everyone was finally tired and frozen we came inside to watch a movie and drink hot chocolate. Yum!!

My funny Valentines

I am so in love with these two!! They are such sweeties and are so much fun to be around! We had a great Valentine's day after our two snow days (two too long). And to surprise daddy, the kids even helped me make a big cookie with icing and sprinkles on it! Yummy!


Also on this day, it is amazing when you think about all the people you love in your life! It is overwhelming how many people in my life affect me so much and I can say I have love in my heart for. Thank you to you all and I hope I let you know often how much you mean to me!

logan look a like

My friend Karen had this on her blog and I thought it looked like so much fun! Sadly both of my kids fall in the look the same like their mom and dad - would have been more interesting to see which one of us is favored. Maybe I will try another picture sometime...
