Happy May 3rd!

Have you ever had a dream you forgot your pants?

Easter Bunny

When Avery was around two,

I remember having to avoid the Easter Bunny

at the mall at all cost.

She was so terrified of the Easter Bunny

she would start to shake & cry just to see him.

She has since gotten over her fear.

But to be honest, I never really blamed her.

Don't you think the Easter Bunny is a little creepy looking?

Another persons trash...

Has become my treasures.

Two weeks ago while driving through neighborhoods

in Chesterfield, Missouri,

we drove past a house that caught my eye.

Well, their trash caught my eye.

I noticed an old suitcase, childrens rocking chair,

& two old window panes.

I made Spence turn around and I put them in our car.

I was shocked when I cleaned up the rocking chair

and nothing was even wrong with it.

The suitcase I decided to leave at my brother's house

until we move out there.

I couldn't wait to get home

& work on the two window panes.

I haven't done any projects for a looong time

& this one was really fun.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I painted a tree on the back side of the glass, covered it with material,

& then just screwed in some hooks.

The whole project cost me less then 10 bucks.

And it looks so cute in my girls room.

Now I just have to finish the second one.

Happy Belated Birthday

Okay life has been a little busy

and I posted Kayla's birthday & not Evan's.

What can I say, I love Kayla more...

just kidding.

Evan turned 3 on April 1st.

He is my April Fools Day Babe.

I know people say

terrible two's but I think

three seems to be even harder.

With that said:

We SURE love our little man.

Here are a few things to remember

about him at this age:

He LOVES his pj's & wants to be in them 24/7.

He has not one but three favorite blankets that he carries around the house.

Nothing is cooler then Star Wars & Toy Story.

If you want to wrestle, shoot guns, or sword fight, Evan is always ready.

He loves having three boys to play with each day & I am not sure what I am going to do with him next year when he doesn't have that.

We are working on potty training. He sure looks cute in little underwear.

Nine years of joy!

Today my baby turned

NINE!

Yes, I now have a nine year old.

It seems only yesterday that my water broke

standing in line at a fast food place called

TO GO, and needless to say we

ordered our food TO GO!

My dear sweet Kayla,

you are such a joy to have in our family.

We love you so much!

Today is a good day to...

Wear GREEN...

SPARKLE your toes green...

GOLF on the green grass...

Make green CUPCAKES...

Or try and catch a LePrEcHaUn!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

& Happy Birthday Kate Holbrook!

Thank you Brittney, for inviting us over to make leprechaun traps.

I think it will be a new family tradition.

And so it goes on...

In the next few months

the cycle of moving graduate students

& resident's will start again.

A continuous cycle of

amazing people moving in and out

of Columbus, Ohio.

In September I will be lucky enough to say

I have gone through this cycle twice.

To many the thought sounds crazy

but I have to say, it has been one of the

best experiences.

As exciting as it will be to be out of the student phase

of our lives (after 10 years!)

I know it will never be the same & the people

I have met will be missed forever.

This past weekend Sarah came back for a visit.

We got to have some good old

GiRl TiMe!

Oh, how I will miss all these girls!
