Easter Fun 2016

Easter is always a special time around our house. The bunny leaves colorful baskets with yummy chocolates and awesome toys! He hides over 400 eggs, spread out across our 4 wooded acres. The kids get fantastic loot, but they have to work for it! It's a great morning for everyone as our family creates sweet new memories!

This year, I think, was extra special because Ribby is at the perfect age where everything is magical and she can figure out on her own how to navigate finding goodies. Watching her toddle through the yard, down the trails, over the bridge, and under the trees to find eggs was so adorable!

Happy Early Valentine's Day!

Happy Early Valentine's Day!

I've got some medical procedures coming up that prevent us from celebrating on Valentine's Day itself, so we decided to go ahead and celebrate tonight.

I'd say we did pretty well!

We all decided to get Ribby a giant teddy after she fell in love with Bear's larger-than-life furry friend on Christmas. Bear's Christmas gift was a 6 foot tall bear from Vermont Teddy Bear. Ribby's new friend is a 48 inch bear hailing from more humble beginnings, but he is still adorable and she showered him with enough hugs and kisses to say he's a welcome addition to our family!

Any excuse for a holiday means Ogie adds another NERF gun to the arsenal. Today's score was a NERF Mega Bigshock. It's basically the NERF Jolt, but for Mega darts. It packs a pretty mean punch for such a compact blaster!

Add a couple balloons, some singing cards, and CHOCOLATE!!!

And I'd say Valentine's Day 2016 was a success!

Mother's Day 2015

Happy Mothers Day to Me!

The kids got together to get me a giant card, a new set of bowls, a dozen yellow roses, a boatload of chocolate, and a baby covered in glitter!

I'm a lucky mama, indeed!
