Snow Covered Park!

I got out of work in good time and was able to meet Agnes and the boys at the park. The park is completely covered with snow but the boys were having a blast! Sully was doing his share to shovel anything he could and Charlie was happy to help. The cold does not bother either one of them!

Skate Runner!

Sully continues to improve on the ice! He is gliding more but still runs on the ice. He is actually really fast and has great balance.

Happy 5th Birthday Sully!

Sully's 5th birthday was yesterday! We started the morning opening gifts and then had a fabulous pancake breakfast cooked by Andy. Sully spent most of the day building with his new legos! In the afternoon, we went for a walk and picked up some cupcakes so we could celebrate later.

Grammy and Grampy came over around dinner time so I could go out to dinner with my other birthday boy (Andy's birthday was the 18th)! We all sang to Sully and the boys enjoyed a cupcake!

The boys love playing with Grammy and Grampy so I'm sure they had a great time while we were out!

USA Speed Skating Team 2022?

Sully is getting more comfortable on the ice each week!

The Auto Show!

Well, what we had hoped would be an enjoyable way to spend Sunday afternoon, did not turn out to be so great. We decided to take the boys to the Auto Show. We took the stroller for Charlie just in case but wanted to let him walk around as much as possible. He wanted to get in every single car, and when he couldn't, was one unhappy guy. He did not want to be sitting in the stroller either! I pacified him for about 10 minutes with a pretzel but the rest...

Sully enjoyed looking at the cars, especially anything that had flashing lights! Andy and I were actually looking, trying to compare a couple of cars that may eventually replace my Jeep.

Speed Skater!

Sully is definitely getting more comfortable on the ice and is picking up some speed!

The Celebrating Begins!

Sully's 5th birthday is on the 20th and Abby turned 9 on February 3rd so we had a joint celebration today at Poppa and Gramma's.

Thanks to Poppa and Gramma for letting us have the party at their place!

The Children's Museum!

We all went to the Children's Museum this afternoon. There was a ton of stuff for the boys to do! They dressed up like firemen and explored hoses, slid down the pole, and drove the truck. There was some rope climbing for Sully and building for Charlie. They have an exhibit right now called, "Snow Much Fun" where the kids can build forts, throw snowballs and decorate the snowmen. They both had a blast!

Our Firefighters!

Rub-a-Dub-Dub 3 Boys in the Tub!

Andy decided to give the boys a bath in the big tub and join in the fun! They even enjoyed some time with the jets on. I had three squeaky clean boys!

Pudding Time!

" Want some Mommy!"

I ran to the store with Charlie to pick up a few items. I grabbed some pudding for the boys and the whole way home Charlie was demanding pudding. I was able to get get him to eat a little lunch but then it was pudding time! As you can tell by the pictures---he loved it!

Catching Up!

For some reason, last week just seemed really busy and I fell behind on blogging. So, here are some photos to catch everyone up on what's been going on!

The boys getting ready for bed. They both love to brush their teeth!

Escaping from the cold at Gymboree! I love having this membership, especially in the winter when it's dark so early and COLD!

Saturday, the boys and I went to see my friend Cathy and welcome the newest addition to their family. I can't believe we actually got a decent picture of all six kids!
