FINALLY A POST!

Griffin loves to cuddle!

                                                And daddy likes treating him like a baby!

                               Ella getting a better view of the St. Patricks Day Parade!

              It was an awful day for a parade...its likes nice but very deceiving.....very freezing!

                       We had green noodles and green drinks for our St. Patricks Day dinner.

              We had a Belle (Beauty and the Beast) birthday party. Belle even paid a visit and she brought chocolate roses!

The birthday girl was sitting on her mommy in the rocking chair, she didn't like attention but loved her party.

I did NOT make this, my friend Val did. She did an awesome job!

Daddy took the kids to the dog park. :o)

                                     Baseball time, Ella's in the field and Eva's at bat...real game style.

G & G Lindahl sent some painting art work. They had a great time!

Eva's school pic day!

Playing BB with her best friends.

Different friends, Sammy and Drew. We had dinner with them since it had been forever since we have seen each other.

Ella is reading to everyone. I'm so proud of how well she is doing.

I lost Eva in the store at Old Navy and found her posing with the manikans. The cutest manikan I have ever seen!

 

The girls decided to hide from me, if they weren't giggling I may have never found them.

Daddy took Ella to a hockey game!

The girls are working on their March Madness brackets. There are still a few games left, Evan and I are eliminated from winning, Ella and Eva are still in it. Good thing they concentrated so hard on it!

Dr. Seuss was at Walmart one day, makes shopping so much more fun!

Reds selfie! Opening day fun!

 

Well again sorry its been so long. Our life is a little busier with less free time for fun family stuff. So we don't have as many pics to post and less free time to post. I hope everyone is doing well. I hope surviving this awful cold winter, we are still getting snow and very cold days as well, feels like a ND winter. Evan is having a lot more bonding time with girls and loves it! I have been enjoying more job but it is very stressful and overwhelming. I hate feeling so uneasy at work, trying to learn everything. I have so much more to learn with still 7 weeks of orientating left....whew I will need it. I sometimes wonder why I chose such a stressful job but after the day is over and realizing how many lives I touched makes it all worth it! Last week the girls had spring break, they spent the majority of it in Tennessee and had a blast with auntie and uncle. I included some of the pics! It is getting easier to be away from them so I enjoyed some time to ourselves. Although I worked 2 full days which only left me with 1 1/2 days and its hard deciding what to do...rest and enjoy the peace and quiet, clean because we all know there's a million things to clean, or shop because I love it! I tried to do it all which made the time fly by. We are thankful to have some family close by to help us out and give us some free time.

                                                                 Ella's school pic day!

 

 

 

 

The girls loved playing dress up at aunties! They had to take an old style pic like auntie and uncle had done in the past.

They did some hiking by the lake and found some cool rocks and shells.

They did some educational learning, cards and the alphabet.

More dress up pics, they were skyping with Great grandma Doris and Great grandpa Bill.

More hiking pics!

Auntie and Uncle have the coolest treat at their house....the sucker fairy visits every night and leaves a sucker for the girls to eat. They look forward to it and is hoping one comes here....never happening. :o)  That's why auntie's and uncle's house is great.

Catching up!

Here's our little guy; 6 months old and getting more and more energy every day. We can't wait for Spring!

       I made sugar cookie apples for the teachers for teacher conferences to say thanks!

  Griffin loves to cuddle when the girls are wrapped in towels/blankets after bath.

                                                              HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

The girls both had Valentine parties and we stayed in and had pizza and a movie night. So romantic! I was happy to be home with the family.

The girls love to play on the computer!

 LOOK! It's official, I have a baby on my badge! I am on my new normal schedule of 3 12 hours shifts a week, working Sunday, Wed, and Thursday.

                          Daddy took the girls to the zoo on Presidents day, I had to work ;o(

                       I was kind of sad, a little relieved I was able to stay in the warmth.

                        Ella received her medal for being so awesome at BB. Eva was sick so she missed her last BB practice/game. She did get a medal so she was happy.

  Daddy took Ella to a high school baseketball game. They had lots of fun!

  We had a little date day, errands and lunch last Sunday. It was nice to have had some time together.

  Griffins favorite thing...cleaning out the PB tubs.

 

We hope everyone is doing well, we still have snow here and are waiting patiently for Spring! I am done working everyday mon-friday and am so relieved. I don't know how anyone can work that much. :o) It's tiring! I am loving it so far. The girls are relieved as well, we are looking forward to having days together again. The days we have had off have been spent being lazy because everyone has been tired from running around all week so there are limited pictures. Hopefully we can find fun things to do with Spring right around the corner. We send our love to everyone.
