Mother's Day 2014

I couldn't be more blessed as a mother to have two wonderful, loving children.  The kids got really excited about Mother's Day this year.  They made gifts at preschool and Sunday School and were so excited to show me!  They handmade plates, hand print poems, and colored me pictures.

 That evening, we had both sides over for a yummy steak, bacon, shrimp grill provided by Matt!  He does such a great job cooking and I got to relax in my new zero gravity chair!

Landon was pretty adamant about holding my hand for the pictures.  Gotta treasure those moments!!

We are so grateful and appreciative to have two wonderful mothers in our lives that love and support us and our children always!

Super Bowl, Snowman, and Valentine's Day

As I sat down to write a post about our weekend, I noticed that I didn't post any pictures last month so here's a quick recap of our February (besides the cold weather and more days off school)!

Super Bowl

The Frye's came over for the Super Bowl this year, where the Broncos got totally crushed by the Seahawks.  Amos and Grace made tie dye shirts for the kids and Jess and I happened to wear our Matt Forte jerseys (even though the Bears weren't playing :))

We had a lot of fun watching the game and the kids always have fun playing together.

Snowman

Emerson and Matt built a snowman and she wanted to name him Olaf, after the most adorable snowman in her favorite movie, "Frozen."  He turned out pretty cute and lasted about 3 weeks since it was so cold and snowy.

Emerson, the pink snow girl!

I know these pictures are almost the same, but this last one reminds me of the two of them hugging so tightly that they fell down in the snowbank, without snow pants or boots on of course! :)

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was a big deal this year.  The kids were very excited to write out Valentine's for everyone in their class.  They each did a great job!  At preschool, they had a party and pajama day.  It was pretty exciting.  Mom and Dad had us over for dinner and Steven and Kristina came up for the weekend too.  The kiddos and Mom made us a scavenger hunt to find our gifts.  It was really cute.  This poster was the last gift.

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas

This is it.  I finally convinced Matt to get a laptop, which he hasn't wanted.  And what we decided was that I'd get a laptop and he'd get a new tower with more power for our old computer.  So we're both happy!  And our Christmas and Birthday gifts are taken care of for this year!!  I really don't know anything about the laptop.  I just wanted to be able to download pictures (that works! :)), skype with people far away, and be able to surf the web without taking 20 minutes to download a page.  I think so far all of those things will work.  So now I should be able to do a better job with posts.  SHOULD being the key word there! :)
