I'm a serious slacker!

Thanks to Facebook, my blog has come to a standstill! April 15th? Seriously? Sheesh!!

So, here are a few new photos to tide you over until... um, October? I'll try to not let it get that out of hand!

We are very busy this summer! I am getting my business going and am currently developing the website. If you know anyone getting married, having kids, graduating high school, etc., pass my name along! (please..)

Tom is working hard and trying to keep up with the yard work. It's been quite the summer for growing- the grass and bushes have gone crazy! We still love the yard and the house, we are just trying to maintain it!

Troy and Sam had birthdays recently and are 4 and 3 now. They are very funny little boys that love to get into trouble! Troy will be starting preschool soon and is very excited!

Well, that's what's going on in our neck of the woods. Until next time... or October! Haha.

Easter!

All the kids after the egg hunt.

Baby Ian found eggs too!

Rich, Lynn, Brian and Lizzy!

Eggs!

Yay! My hands are blue!!

Troy just dropped his egg into the dye.

Cheese!

Here we go!

March!

Tom and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary March 31st!

Troy took this picture (with a little help). Not bad!

Our garden is growing!

Moose the wonder dog in her favorite place... the hammock!

The crocuses were so pretty! I was sad when the last snow cut them short.

The first of the crocuses.

Troy giving Sam a ride!

Grandma came to visit!

February!

This makes me laugh.

It's a Sammy-in-the-box!

FLOWERS! I'm not sure what they are, but they bloomed in February!

It's not very warm, but the sun is out!

Troy loves to watch the "funny boys" on YouTube. They are clips from America's Funniest Home Videos, and it's WAY funnier watching his reaction!

January!

We got to go swimming!! The boys had a blast and did NOT want to leave. On the way out the door Sam pushed a button on the wall... only to call 911. Oops. I tried to explain it was an accident, but then reworded it to tell her my 2-year-old pushed the call button by MISTAKE. Yeah. They were not too happy, and we got out of there pretty quickly! Thanks a lot Sam.

Sam is in his big boy bed! We decorated his room in all Thomas (of course) and he LOVES his bed. Thanks Great Nanny and Uncle Russ for bringing it to us all the way from North Dakota!!

Train Man.

It was a really warm day, but it was pretty soggy out from all the melted snow. That didn't stop Sam! He had a great time splashing and running through the puddles!

We had an episode where Secret Agent Sam climbed up on a chair and snatched the Ovaltine from the cabinet. He took it upstairs to his room, opened it, and dumped it all over the floor. I found him running his trucks through it and scooping it into his backhoe. I guess he thought it was dirt, or a good imitation of it. (Certainly tastes better!) I thought I cleaned it all up, but I must have missed some under the bed. Moose decided to make herself useful and crawled under the bed to clean it up for me... except she misjudged her size and got stuck. Troy thought this was hysterical and wanted to lay next to her to be "stuck" with her. Funny stuff!

Sam cleaning out the cabinet to make room for the Yahtzee game.

Mmmmm... hot chocolate!

Moosey playing basketball!

I'm not sure what is bigger- Troy or his hair!!
