Loving Spring!


The sun is shining, the temps are warm, and we are LOVING it! This is my favorite time of year. I love to see all of the bright colored flowers and green grass. Lucy's afternoon naps keep us close to home, but we've had fun just playing out in our yard while she sleeps. When she wakes up, she loves to come outside to swing and play in the sandbox.

Tomorrow is Ben's last day of preschool. I can't believe that it is the end of the school year already. We're excited for our summer plans, but I know he will miss his teacher and classmates quite a bit. I know I will miss them too. I tend to have a hard time with change and I've felt myself feeling very nostalgic about not driving to his school anymore. Next year he will be a big Kindergartner...how did this happen? I blinked and my baby grew up!

 We signed Ben up for T-ball this year with the Leo/Grabill Little League. He wasn't sure if he wanted to sign up back when it was time to turn in the paperwork. He told me he didn't want anyone to laugh at him. We had a good talk about it and he decided to give it a try. (He's taken baseball classes that teach the skills, so I think he was just nervous about the games). He has been having such a good time. Curt helps out as an assistant coach when he's there because they needed more coaches. His games have been during Lucy's naptime, so I haven't been to the first couple. But, this weekend it is earlier and we are all going. I can't wait to see him play!
 Why wouldn't you want to sit on a pile of cars?
 Curt and Ben worked together to make some delicious steaks for Mother's Day. They were SOOO good!
 Lucy can spend forever getting pushed in the swing. She loves it so much!
 It's not so easy to get a good picture of these two.

Looking good in their shades!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
