Easter

Spring is really here. We celebrated Easter last week and weekend. The kids had several egg hunts to attend. Church, dyed eggs, ham, all of that good stuff!

Now, to get through pollen and horrible allergies all around!!

February Birthdays!!

February flew by. We celebrated 3. Brighton went with Poppi and Yaya to visit my grandmother who just turned 90!

Then we celebrated Brighton's 6th birthday. He and his brother got to go to Build a Bear and pick out their Star Wars bears. Very exciting!

Then we had Hayden's 1st birthday to go and celebrate! Baby girl is all smiles and started walking just days before her birthday so she is right on time!! 

Now it is March and we all have SPRING FEVER!!

Snow Days and Super Bowl

We have made it through January. Not without a snow storm though! After a very warm winter so far, we finally got a snow/ice storm that had us out of school and off of the roads for two days plus a weekend. We did some sledding and the kids got to use their snow ball maker that they got for Christmas!

With February, came the Panthers making it all the way to the Super Bowl!! I was extremely excited. Planned a little party for a few friends at our house. As soon as I started planning it, Jason announced he was GOING to the super bowl with DB. Goodness! What??! Crazy, but to good of an opportunity to pass up. I cancelled the party. I am no good without a co-host. They went. Had a blast, but unfortunately could not celebrate a win. Once in a lifetime opportunity though!

The kids are out of school most of this week. Since Jason and I have to work at least their grandparents are keeping them entertained! Bouncy House with Gigi and Pop, out to eat and cousin fun with Yaya, and Discovery Place Kids with Abuala and Abuelo. Thank goodness!

We have had such a mild winter. Just now getting hit with cold temps. It is now FREEING!! Also,
we have had lots of excitement on the weekends with the Panthers making it into the play offs! Go Panthers!!

I have been an awful absentee blogger! I think that I have just been really bad about not taking many pictures! Forgive me please. We had a wonderful Christmas and Christmas break. Got to see family and friends. Enjoyed many days off. Welcomed 2016!! 

CHEERS!!

Christmas Countdown

This month is just flying by. 
Michael turned 5 and had a Frozen party. Baylor was in love!

Brighton did a Christmas program at school. He also "helped" me wrap a bunch of gifts over the weekend that I have been putting off doing. 

Uncle Ronnie, Vicki and Zach came for a visit over the weekend. It was great to see them! 

We went to see Santa over the weekend as well, so that was fun!

Next up, are some holiday parties to attend!

We spent our Thanksgiving with GiGi and Pop this year. Enjoyed seeing everyone and especially little smiley Hayden, which I unfortunately did not get any pictures of :(  We really enjoyed an extra long weekend too!

The boys are loving all of the Christmas decorations, books and special toys. I am about 70% done with shopping, so I guess that is better than nothing! 

2015 Halloween

This year Brighton was very sure what he wanted to be for Halloween. Alvin!!!! Nickelodean has revamped these guys once again, for a new TV show that Brighton and Baylor cannot get enough of. Naturally he chose Baylor to be Theodore. We had no Simon. No one seemed to miss him though. 

Easy enough costume. Solid colored shirts and hats with some cut out letters. Added tails and some nose paint and they were good to go! 

We went to a Trunk Or Treat with Anna, Chrystal and Ted that day.  That night we Trick or Treated with Jameson and Micheal as usual. Hayride and all. It was fun for it to fall on a Saturday this year as we didn't feel rushed. 

They had a great time! As for me, this year was not as scary as last year. Halloween for Peanut Allergy children/parents is about the scariest time of the year. The difference between last year and now is that Baylor is getting old enough to know what to look for and to ASK what he can eat. Jason and I got home and scoured through both boy's bags, removing anything potentially dangerous and still manged to miss a couple of things. Baylor knows for sure to stay away from Reece's brand stuff, and to just go for the tart, fruity stuff like Skittles and Star Bursts. Also, being involved in the study, I feel like he is probably building his tolerance up! 

Last weekend we enjoyed some nice fall weather. It was actually a little on the warm side! On Saturday we went to Ashley and Justin's REVEAL party. 

It's a girl arriving sometime in the beginning of February! 
Sunday the 4 of us went to Red Wolf Farms pumpkin patch.

 I believe this was our 4th year going. This is definitely one of our traditions. Had a great time. 

Next is Halloween!
