Playing in the snow!

I finally caved and bought Novea some snow clothes. I didn't think she would like being out in the cold but I was wrong. She LOVES it! She looks like a big fluffy pink marshmallow!

I thought I would give pigtales a try :)

CURLS!

I never thought I would have a little girl with blond curls! 

I love my little fireman!

I love my big fireman too, but this one gets away with leaving his boots in the middle of the room :)

My baby is getting so big!

More Pumpkin Fest!

It was a little windy....

This was the second time this happened. The first time the playhouse was actually airborne and hit the van, so we put it back and I grabbed my camera, just waiting for the next gust of wind...and I taped it!

Novea's 1st 4-wheeler ride!

Two years ago my brother Zach bought the little green 4-wheeler for Sy. He outgrew it a while ago, it just wasn't fast enough for him anymore :) Now that Novea is one we thought we better let he have a go at it, and it was a hit! She loves it!! The only problem is that she does the exact same thing that Sy did, she likes to drive it while standing on the seat! Why do my children love dangerous things?!?!

Birthday Party!

We had Josiah and Novea's birthday party this past weekend, the plus side to having their birthdays so close-one party!! Sy wanted a firetruck cake (of course) and Novea got a cute flower and butterfly cake. Can't believe my baby is one already and can't believe I have a 3 year old!!

Air Show!

We went to the Peoria Air Show a couple weekends ago (yes, I'm very behind getting pictures up!). Sy loved the airplanes, and is still talking about them. But the highlight of his day was that he got to ride in a helicopter (Thanks to Grandma Sara!) Here are a few pictures from the day.

Pictures....

We tried to get pictures today while Aunt Tracy was here visiting...Novea did great, Josiah was another story! We came home and figured while they were all dressed up I would try to take a couple...however they both were mad at me by then!

Fishing!

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

She thinks she's big stuff!

Sanka's Home!

Yep- that's right! Sanka is FINALLY back home with her family. She was gone almost two weeks- we missed her so much! Long story short- a lady had her the whole time and never thought to call anyone. Someone who knew her finally put two and two together when they saw Sanka's picture at one of the animal shelters. Thanks to everyone who helped us try and find her over the weeks!

Missing :(

Our sweet little Sanka has gone missing :( She has been gone since Tues. morning (June, 1) . I've called every vet in every surrounding city and no one has brought her in. So were a little concerned that someone has decided to keep her...or she is way out in the middle of no-where, or she possibly got hit by a car or something. So if anyone has seen her, seen a family with a "new pet" or seen a dog/car accident on the road, please let me know!

Spring!

We Love Being Outside!

   

"Hold on mom, I got a fire call"

Those are the words I hear many times a day. Watching daddy jump up off the couch, or sprint out the door during dinner to go to a call has had a huge impact on the other "man" in the house. Sy watches EVERY move that Brad makes, and wants to be just like his dad. Lately, Sy has been wanting to wear his fire suit every moment of the day and everything he does right now about rescuing something or someone. I love watching him play- it's hilarious! The annoying part though is that most of the time while playing I have to hear Sy's version of the fire truck siren's. Wow- it never ends! And no matter what I do he just seems to get louder and louder!
