Mommy's birthday cake

Saturday was my birthday and Joseph was so excited to go get me a cake. All morning he talked about getting me a pink princess cake. Which I thought was so sweet. So after swim the two Joes went to Dairy Queen to get me an ice cream cake. Once Joseph saw all the cakes he decided that I needed a race car cake. Also he told Joe that he did not need his help, and to just take him home so he could get his bike. Silly boy!!

Girls Trip!!

On Saturday me and my girls went to Columbus to see the Pioneer Women. We had such a awesome time. There were a lot of laughs and a little spit up, but that did not stop us from getting our cookbooks signed!! Here are some pictures from our trip.

Memories sweet memories. This was taken in the fall of 2008 for our Christmas cards. The barn in the background is where we had our wedding reception. I love that we went back to where we got married and had family pictures taken.

Valentine's party/playdate with cupcakes!!

Wednesday after Valentines we had a Valentines party. FYI It is alot cheaper to have a party after the holiday, but it was not the reason for having the party after Valentines. If I remember correctly there were 8 boys, 1 girl, and 4 babies. Levi missed the whole party, and I am still not sure how he slept through the noise. The kids had fun, and I pretty sure the moms did too.

It's melting

On Sunday after church we took the boys outside to play in the snow before it melted. I am really hoping/crossing fingers that we do not see anymore snow until next year. We will see hopefully the groundhog was correct and spring will come early.

Mall play date and lunch

Today we met some friends at the mall for a play date and lunch. It is a great opportunity to catch up and let the boys burn off some energy. Levi is now big enough to play also. Today he discovered the tunnel, and he laugh all the way through it. Here are a couple of pictures of Levi in the tunnel.

Swim Lessons

Today Joseph had his first swim lesson at the local Y. I was a little nervous wondering how he would act because he loves the water. I just knew he was going to jump in the pool. He did not!! He listened for good to his instructor, and had a great first lesson.

Proud Mommy!!

Today I was going through Joseph's school work and I found this coloring page. I am so happy and proud of Joseph. His coloring has improve dramatically this year. He is coloring in between the lines more than before. So I just had to brag of my big boy!! Here is his coloring page.

Clothes

Each morning before Joseph comes down for breakfast he gets himself dressed. He picks out all his clothes and even his underwear. Some days his clothes are on backward and some days they are on the right way. And most mornings his clothes actually match. Here are some pictures from this morning.

Ice Storm 2011

I thought I did not like snow, but I really do not like ice. The only thing good about this ice storm is that Joe has been off of work for 2 days now and he did not have class Tuesday night. Joe's car is covered with ice. He went out today to start his car and hoping he can get some of the ice to defrost off his car. Well he could not open the drivers side door so he had to use the passenger door. He did eventually get the drivers door open. Here are some pictures of his car and our drive way.
