What's Been Going On?!

Yikes!  I think I took a vacation from blogging.  But I'm baackkk! :)  There's not been a lot going on in our household lately, but yet at the same time we've been so busy.  I'm over winter.  It's just that simple.  I was holding out for a big snow storm (and so was Addilyn) but now that we're ending February, I just wanna see Spring.  And I think Addilyn and her daddy are too. Last night they took advantage of the warm weather and got out her new bat and glove she got for her birthday.  And I think she's found another sport to love.  She's really big into gymnastics right now and I think we're signing her up for softball this weekend.  Let the busy (or shall I say busier) times begin!

And I can't forget Addi's big birthday celebration we had a couple weeks ago!  I can't believe she's 5!  Where does the time go?  We kicked off her 5th year with a crazy and fun Backwards Birthday Party!  I'll have pics soon.  It was a huge hit and she's still talking about it.

I've been picking up a few days here and there at NTouch Massage and Wellness Center helping out doing some massages.  It's been a lot of fun, I feel good doing what I went to school to do.  And it's also been some mommy free time.  Who would've thought working would've been mommy free time?! :)

Since having kids I've found myself getting more into the holidays that aren't as big as Christmas and such.  Like Valentine's Day (which I like to call Cupid Can Suck It Day lol) and St. Patrick's Day.  For Valentine's Day this year I surprised Addilyn with a new plate with hearts all over it, a new glass that matched and red pancakes in the shape of a heart.  (Now if a guy had done that I probably would've puked all over him from all the lovey dovey-ness)  But it's fun when it's for my kiddos.  And Reid wasn't left out either.  He got a new sippy cup and red pancakes too!  I can't wait for St. Patrick's Day to roll around.  Wonder what a little leprachaun might leave for my kids?

WE LOVE OUR CATS!!  Anything blue in our house is considered "GO CATS" by Addi and we can even get Reid to give a fist pump and little ramble that sounds close enough to "go cats".  We watched and celebrated the Cats victory over the Cards at Dee and Heather's and got a couple of cute pics of the kiddos.

We are also in the process of finishing our basement.  I think any project that consists of this house and my husband will be never ending.  Don't get me wrong.  I can't wait for it to be done and Josh does awesome work.  But he's so stubborn to do any and all of it himself that it feels like it takes forever.  Work all day, come home, work on basement, go to bed late, up and repeat the next day.  But Addilyn and Reid enjoy working with him.  Here are a couple pics of them getting down and dirty and with Daddy!

So with just 20 days till Spring, we can't wait to see what warmer weather has in store for us!  Stay tuned!
