Andy's Christmas Program

This is quick and dirty just to get it posted.
I am so proud of my little guy, he did so good for his first time in front of a crowd.
He listened and participated so well.....We were such proud parents.

P.S. This video really showed me, how much Andy looks like me when I was his age....poor kid.

Sam turns 2!!!

We had such a good time over Thanksgiving with the family. Of course even though we were traveling the day of Sam's Birthday. Grandma made sure we celebrated a little bit with donuts and princess hats!

And of course we had to have a double birthday so we could have icecream cake and Janelle and Quinn's house!!!! (it was fabulous!)

He's got grandmas good hair!!!

Couldn't help but posts these pics....cause Jer has hair!!! I love you honey! Happy Anniversary!

Our last trip to Moms until spring (probably)

I really wanted to get to my moms one more time before we got snowed in here so we decided to go on her birthday. The kids helped me bake a LEMON CAKE (thanks for the recipe Goldia!!!) so we could wish Grandma happy birthday the right way.
Lisa my bestest friend and my sis and her kids all made it!! We had so much fun. Lisa helped out with the kids so much my mom was like "COME BACK EVERYTIME TAMI COMES!" LOL

Andy got to play games on her iphone and Sami got to put on lots of lips (chapstick). We had alot of fun and just in time too! As we just got snow in the mountains on Wednesday.

We even got to lock the kids up for awhile LOL I'm just kidding..they got in their all by themselves. Thanks mom for a great weekend and thanks Lisa and Theresa for coming!

Our trip to Billings!

We had such a great time in our travels to Billings. Jer had to travel for work and we actually got to go this time and it was a blast! We stayed in a hotel that had a water park attached to it!! Indoors even! They had a perfect part for the TODDLERS!! Andy went down the slide about 1000 times by himself. Here is a couple pictures and video of that :)

Then Jer had to work all day Friday so I took the kids to a TOYS' R US which we don't have here and A MALL!!!! I miss the mall!

They had a play structure there for the kids so we played there until they couldn't take it anymore then we just browsed around the mall! I didn't get to go into any of the stores but who cares! I got to WINDOW SHOP and it was AWESOME! The little things in life right?

Here is just a couple of the pictures of them playing at the mall.

Then of course...andybody that knows our family, also knows we can't make it through any adventure without an injury of some sort (sheesh!) So here is our injury of the trip.

Andy fell at the water park running not walking through the slide area :)

All in all GOOD TIMES TO BE HAD BY ALL!!

Andy's First Day of Preschool

Look at me....I'm in PRESCHOOL!

Andy was so dang cute on his first day of preschool!

He has one other little boy to play with and lots of girls. After looking and looking through all the preschools here we decided on this one and are very excited about it!

Andys 3rd Birthday!!

Sorry its been so long since my last post! Here is Andy's Birthday party pictures! We had such a good time. Just enough kids showed up to make it so fun!

The Birthday Boy!!

Road trip to Grandmas!!

We had so much fun this weekend with the cousins!! But getting there was great fun too!

I gotta go MOM!

Everyone out!

We played so hard, did lots of yard work, played lots of games, loved our cousins, and just had a great time!

Skipbo anyone?

We want our waffles Dad!

I even got a chance to practice for Andy's birthday, and with Janelle there to help me I got a lot of great tips, thank you!!

Everyone was exhausted even the dog! We had so much fun we cant wait til next time!

HE PLAYED!!!

Well I hate it when Jeremy is right but...........HE WAS RIGHT!

We had to have Jeremy take Andy to his game last Saturday and I had to hide out of sight with Sam for Andy to play soccer but, he was AWESOME! Here are a few pictures.

Andy smiled great for his team pictures

Little stretching before the game!

Here is some video of him getting ready for the game!! He runs so fast!

And look at him kick that ball!!

The new Soccer Jersey!

Just a quick post to show everyone how awesome Andy looks in his new Soccer shirt! There is no video of Andy playing soccer though because.....he wouldn't get on the field :(

We will try again next week to see if he will play. Maybe more pictures to come of our not yet disccovered soccer star LOL

The bunny was good to us this year!

What can we say it was a great Easter Weekend! Andy was so excited to see his cousins! He just loves his Nate and Brit!


The Easter Bunny hid so many eggs for the kids he was even doing it past midnight while on a break from Guitar Hero of course.

And of course we all had to go to the Easter Egg hunt on Easter Sunday. Andy and Sam had it easy in the 0-2 year old group. But boy oh boy it got a little dicey for the 3-5 year olds and holy smokes Brit had it tough in the 6 year old and older group! But all in all everyone had a good time, with cotton candy and sno cones to eat who wouldn't? LOL

Sam did really quite well for her first Easter Egg hunt after she figured out that you open the eggs after the hunt is over. Here is just a peek at Andy and Sam!
Thank you Snelders Family for making our Easter so great!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears....not really.

Jer had to go out of town for work last week so the kids and I decided it was time to see Montana. A very nice lady from the YMCA (my pilates teacher) owns a really great farm with lots of animals and we had to pet everyone of them.

These are only a few of the animals, she also had pigs (stinky), baby chicks, baby turkeys, dogs, cats, the kids had just a great time! They even got to feed the horses and they didn't even get bit! LOL

Grammy's and Poppa's house

Well we did it! I drove all the way to Grammy's house with 2 kids and a dog and didn't even get lost!

Jeremy had to travel for business last week to Chicago so me and the kids decided it was time to make the drive to Gram's house. The first part was pretty tough with the snow and I almost turned back just a half hour into our drive but....we went really slow and forged ahead. As Janelle always says "Enjoy the journey" and we did! We saw every rest area all the way to Washington, watched lots of movies, ate lots of snacks, and looked for tractors all the way there. :)

When we first got there we were very impressed with all the new toys Grammy got off of Craig's list what a deal!! Andy was very excited about all the cool new toys!

Then low and behold the Easter Bunny stopped by Gram's house EARLY! Wow go Easter Bunny! He knew exactly what to get the kids for sure.Lots of bubbles, kites, baseball bat and ball, coloring books, playdoh! Andy especially loved his bubbles and went through the whole thing by the time we left because one little blow made sooooooo many bubbles. We had a great time visiting and had lots of fun hangin' with Gramma and poppa. Thanks mom for the great time! And here are some pictures of Andy flying his kite since we didn't get to fly it before leaving Grammy's.
