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.
