Long overdue post....

It's FINALLY been warm enough to brave going outside. The kids are "painting" on the garage with water


Those cheeks!


This picture reminds me of a poster for a bad scary movie! ha ha


I know - Mother of the Year letting them play with sticks! But she really is being cute and saying "Abracadabra!"


I've got to teach them just to say cheese and smile - not just keep saying cheese!


New Super Heroes in town - Chocolate Face and Cutie Girl!!!



Holding hands - could you just die?


Real smiles from the wee ones!



Life in the midwest - from Jackets to 8 inches of snow! NEAT!


Eating just the frosting off of a cookie - but still being dainty about it.


Ashleigh would wear these shoes every single day if she could!

February 24th marked my 40th Birthday.....so far, 40 has been FABULOUS!!

Flowers first thing in the morning from the hubby.


40 pink carnations were delivered to my work later in the day.


That night we went to my Mom's for dinner. She made homemade whipped cream for the pie and gave the kids beaters to lick



Saturday February 27th was my big party! Met friends for drinks then bowling - TOO much fun!!
