Things around here haven't been that exciting...maybe that's the reason for the lack of posting. The kids are doing great, keeping me busy-but I wouldn't have it any other way. Brad has been traveling a lot for work- so we have been trying to find things to do to keep us busy...but we usually just end up hanging out at home, or making weekly trips to Barnes and Noble to get a new book (which I have to admit is one of my favorite things as well!)
Novea is getting SO big and turning into such a little lady! She loves to have her hair done and help pick out her clothes for the day!



Josiah basically likes anything that his Dad likes. The other night he was at the desk "studying" Brad's firefighting book. 



I'm going to attempt to post more on here. When I first starting doing this it was because we lived in Arizona and I wanted to keep all the family updated on life. Now that we're back in Illinois- I haven't done a very good job of putting things on here or even taking pictures of the kids at all! Not sure what kind of stuff I'll find to write about...but I'm sure it will involve the kids, pets, and maybe a few of the crazy things Brad does from time to time :)

"My Room Was To Dark"


This is how I found Sy at 11:30 last night. This morning he told me that his room was to dark to fall asleep so he went out to the hallway! Poor little guy!

SNOW!

 These dogs love the snow!! They just sit there waiting for me to let them go back outside!


We decided to make some snow ice cream. The kids LOVED it! And since there is plenty of snow- we'll probably be making it tomorrow as well!! Here's the link!

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 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 :)
