Slacker!

Yes, I will admit, I have been a slacker when it comes to keeping my blog up to date. With life being busy with all the activities scheduled in our life and a busy toddler who tears my office apart, it makes it difficult to find the time or motivation to sit down and update my blog. I have attempted to post various different posts, all of them saved drafts, but never did finish them. I am hoping with having my pictures on a portable hard drive, I will be able to use my netbook instead of my desktop to keep this updated and current. Due to the large quantity of things to update about, I will try to give you a glimpse into what we have been doing since last Spring. Enjoy!

Update!

I have finally updated my blog from the last 2 months. You will probably have to scroll down and click on the older posts link to see everything! Enjoy!

Spring Soccer!

Mason is playing Spring soccer this year instead of basketball and baseball. He loves soccer and is getting better with every practice and game. If we coould keep him from falling on the ground all the time then he would be even better! He has had 2 games so far and both of them a little on the cold side, well one was extremely cold with the wind blowing. His team has done well both games, outscoring the other team.

Waiting for the corner kick...

Running after the ball...

First day at the park!!

We have had a little warmer, sunnier weather mixed in with our crazy rainy, snowy weather. We were able to spend a small amount of time at the park on one such day. It wasn't as warm as we would have liked and the wind was really cold but the kids had fun and it was nice to get out and breathe in the fresh air!

Maiya swinging...

Enjoying it despite the cold wind!

Makai swinging!

Maiya likes to play peek-a-boo!

Where'd Maiya go?!

Peek-a-boo! There she is!

Happy Birthday Thad!!

Thad celebrated his 33rd birthday on March 17th. He unfortunately had to work and then had his youth activity that night, so we didn't get to do too much celebrating with him.

Opening his cards and gifts...

33 candles lets off a lot of light...
