where does the time go…..

Well, I have no idea where to begin, other that I am sorry for the delay in posting!  I am finally uploading photos from the past few months so i can show you all just how much the kids have grown!  Henry turned 3 on May 5th so that has been the biggest highlight from the past month or so!  Otherwise, we have just been trying to get outside and enjoy as much of this nice weather as possible! But for Henry’s Birthday Scott brought home a delicious ice cream cake for us that evening and he got a bike from us, which he likes, but still is trying to figure out how to push the pedals!  And although it is like the worlds smallest two wheeler he is still a little short for it! He also got a set of 8 puzzles from us and a twins sweatshirt! oh and also a kids globe….which is truly the most annoying toy ever because it is ultra loud, and has no volume control?!?!? thank goodness he does not play with it very much!  Then on the saturday after his birthday we had a party here for him and all his cousins came (Gavin, Ethan, Madison, Ben, and Ian) as well as two of his little friends from school (William and Tanner!). He had SO much fun!  I was planning to do a little game with them all but they are all under 5 and with so many little kids I just ended up letting them play down in the basement with his toys, which they all loved!  Then we had our meal with cake….which I will add pictures of because it turned out darn cute!  One was green/grass with mud on it and an excavator and then I made a little pan of brownies with some mud on it and a dump truck with mud in the back.  Lastly, Henry and I made sugar cookies (which are very hard to make if you cannot even take one bite of them to know whether or not they are any good!  but everyone did say they tasted good!) but we cute them into fire trucks, sports cars, trains, and airplanes….they were pretty cute!  Then for gifts, he got way too many! He got a tractor blanket that my mom , then a wagon to go behind his Farmall pedal tractor, a twins hat, a ball and glove, trains, sand box toys, chalk, money for his dino bank, a few cute outfits, a gift certificate to toy zone and DQ!  he was SPOILED to say the least!  He and Olivia were such good kids at the party and they slept so good that night!  Then for mothers day scott got me a nice little patio set so we can enjoy the evenings outdoors!  I just love it and we have already gotten SO muzxch use out of it!  Our little neighbor girls want to join us for supper almost every night we eat out there!  The little girls also come over almost every day  vv  v vthat they are home and Henry is outside, and almost everyday they tell me that they have not eaten lunch and that they are hungry and would like a snack!  i think the other day i figured out why though…..they told me “you have better snacks than we have at our house!” and they ended up coming back with some parsley that their mom had given them from her garden for a snack?!?!?!  YUCK!  they are 6! 

Well, Have a great weekend everyone, I work all weekend long but I hope you all enjoy the beautiful weather!
