This one's for you Sis!

Seriously - It cannot have been almost a month ago that I updated the blog....

but in case it has, I took a few pictures recently to get back on track.

Really  - Life has slowed down a bit (other than the usual day to day 15 loads of laundry, cleaning, cooking etc.)

Last weekend - We celebrated 9 weeks of hard work from Shawn.

He was one of about 100 students who CHOSE to participate in Saturday band,

(okay - really - we just signed him up!)

The concert was great and Shawn played a lot of different percussion instruments.



Playing "bells"



We are also preppin for another birthday.

This Thing will soon be 3 and boy oh boy is he ornery!

Good thing the kid is cute.

and last but not least...

We are living in a world of a full on teen.

Mood swings, girl drama, homework, spring fever, too cool at times, stupid parents

who know nothing by the way) ...

Teen drama!

and yes... that is his new limb. 
It's called a cellphone I guess!

Chad and I  (mostly Chad) have spent time working on plants, tree roots, and a playground in the backyard. 

This used to be a giant tree root - cut it out and put a lilac bush in.

When we need a break however, we (the parents) like to school the boys in basketball.

Chad whoops up on them in 1:1 and I beat them in a game of HORSE. 

Most of our time is outside.

We eat outside, play outside, do work outside, just be outside. 

This little boy LOVES his big brother

Tomorrow is an Easter Egg hunt for Isaac.  I will try to get a few more pics there too and be better about updating our blog.  Just living in every moment and trying to absorb my baby before he completely grows up.

Happy Easter!

** On a side note - I have been having chronic stomach pains.... please pray that it all resolves quickly.  Seeing the Doc again on Tuesday afternoon to see what they think.  Thank you in advance.
