Summer Fun!

I'm not going to apologize again for the big delay between my posts....I'm hoping a new plan...blogging on Sundays...will help a bit.  The good news, I guess, is that we have been busy and haven't had a ton of time to blog.  We have had fun this summer, a little camping, time at the cabin, swimming, playing and running around.  In about a month or so, school will be starting....Noah will be a first grader!  Crazy how time flies!!  Here are some random pictures from the summer, starting with Noah's 6th birthday in June!  Where has my little man gone??

Easter 2013

It hasn't quite been 6 months since I posted.  I have no idea if anyone is even going to look at this blog again, but I am trying to be better about getting things up here.  We are all doing well...school is keeping us all busy.  Noah is one quarter away from being done with kindergarten...he is doing very well.  He is reading, learning new things everyday and has been to quite a few birthday parties this year!  I think it will be hard to say good-bye to kindergarten in a few short months.

Chloe is doing well.  She is talking up a storm and everyday she gets a little more clearer, and a bit more frustrated when we don't quite understand her!  She is very into her "babies," trying to read books like Noah and is having fun everyday with her friends at daycare.

Brandon and I are also doing well.  Brandon started a new job in January and it is going well.  It was a big change after 15 years, but it was a change for the good!

We recently got the kids bunk beds and we have been rearranging our upstairs.  They seem to like being together in the same room and I think it will be quite fun once we get everything settled.

We have new babies all over both sides of our families!  4 new nieces or nephews (one nephew for sure!) between November 2012 and late August 2013...crazy fun!

We celebrated Easter yesterday with lunch with Brandon's family and dinner at my parents.  I'll include some pictures below.

And now, I'll leave you with some pictures of the kids.  We are on Spring Break this week, so hopefully I can get back into this habit this week before life gets crazy again next week!



Coloring eggs is serious business.


...very serious business.

I started spring break last Friday with a manicure.

On March 26, we celebrated our 5th anniversary of being a family.
Hard to believe that Noah has been home with us for 5 years already!
Until Next Time,
Stacy
