Christmas is over.......... It was the best one yet! The boys were so good. Everyone felt good. They were of course totally spoiled. My sister got engaged!!!!!!! We are so happy for her and adam. He is so nice and the boys love him. They call him uncle adam. Mike had his other knee surgery and it went really good. Alot better than last time. I have tons of pics to down load

Sick Sick Sick............. That was last week. We went on sat to see santa and look at xmas lights. Ben refused to sit on santas lap. Later that night they both started throwing up all night long. No fun. Nathan had to miss singing in church on sun. Finally they are feeling better. Ben turned three on fri. It will be remebered as one of the snowest days ever. 13 inches. He got to open some of his presents from us that night and have Mcdonalds for dinner. On sat we took the boys to family fun land. It was so nice we will go back. On sun nate sang in church and he did such a good job. Later that day we had the familys over for ben's pizza party. He was the best boy ever from the time he woke up til the time he passed out in bed. His favorite presents were swim with me puppy that he took in the bath tub with him and a fake gas pump. i have the cutest pic's i need to post. Everything with the baby is going well. 8 more weeks and it will be here i say it because mike still doesnt believe it will be a girl until he sees it for sure. Work is so busy but it is my favorite time of the year. Everyone is in such a good mood.....................

The boys all dressed up this past sunday to get the tree. They had so much fun. The next day the tree fell over and made the biggest mess, Now the tree is tyed to the wall.

I found my camera!!!! The boys have started a nightly game called underwear jumping. We take all our pillows and blankets around the house and put them in a huge pile. Then they jump for 15 mins in to the pit. They laugh so hard and are so tired by the time we go to bed.

I lost my camera........... I know it is some where in this house but it must be hiding. I have so many great pic's to print out. Right now it is starting to snow they say we might get 10 inches of snow. I hope the boys have school tommorow because they are ready to go back after having a week off. We had a great turkey day. The boys loved playing with all the kids. We have 80% of our shopping done. I could spend millions on the boys. Last night was nicoles baptism. She is so cute!!!! Ben was very naughty at church. He tryed to climb in the water fountian when the priest was putting the water on nicoles head. What are we to do with that child, he is such a character!!!!!!

First snow of the season!! The boys were so excited!! We played outside until they froze. Nathan is off this week from school and he has alot of energy. I am use to resting when ben does. We are staring to get xmas presents. We are getting the wii from nana and we are so excited. The boys want to see santa at the mall but i am trying to wait until after turkey day. We went to see daddy bowl this weekend and the boys went crazy. Nathan has already been invited to 4 bday partys from school and he wants to go to all of them.

Nathan sang in church this weekend. He is so lost when he is up there. Staring at everyone and making these silly faces. After we took the boys to see a movie. Bens first movie. He sat on my lap the whole time and only had to go potty once. He keep saying roar everytime the lion was on. Nathan liked the hippo. Back to school this week and only school for ben next week. Ben is learning a turkey song at school and walks around saying i am going to eat you gooble gooble. So cut.

Candy Candy and more Candy

We have soo much......... We went on thur night to downtown menomonee falls for there spooky walk. It was so nice all the buisnesses were open and handing out candy and treats. Then on halloweeen we went by uncle brads to go trick or treating. The boys did such a good job they ran from house to house. It was nice that they wanted to be the same costumes from last year one less thing we had to buy. Nathan had off two days from school and he was so busy. He went to chucky chesse with kristy and the zoo with uncle brad. They are getting a new cousin to day and they are so excited to go to the hospital to see the new baby nicole.

It's a girl!!

We are having a girl. Deep down inside i knew it. i have felt so different with this one. We are very excited and alittle unsure. We only know little boys not girls. Nate and ben are so happy to have a sister. They are sharing a room and they love it. The room was blue so have of it is sports and half of it is cars and trucks. They spend alot of time in bed together being silly. We carved a pumpkin this weekend and put out the halloween decorations. The boys want to be thomas the train from last year so that is super easy. I went shopping for some girls stuff and was very overwhelmed. I bought her a blanket and a sleep sack. I am going to buy a few things a week so i can keep the cost down. I got a double sinus infection and finally went to the doctor today, I feel like i am 90 years old taking 10 pills a day.............. Here are som pic's from the last week.

Nathan sang in church today it was the cutest thing ever!! He joined the 4 and 5 year olds and loves it. Ben got to sleep at nana's house on sat. She spoiles him so much. Mike got to go to the badger game and the brewer game this weekend. They both lost but he had fun. It was nice for him to have some free time because he has been helping with the boys so much when i was not feeling good. We go tommorow to have another ultrasound. I just want them to tell me everything looks good. If we find out the sex that will be a plus..........

They boys both are getting over their start of school colds. Everyday nathan has some new song that he learned from school. I cannot say enough how much he loves it. Ben had a really good day at school today. The next couple of weeks are going to be soooo crazy. We have something going on everyday. We went to the apple place (as nate calls it) this weekend so i can get my caramel apple fix and ben can feed the billie goats. He loves them, wants to bring them home and sleep in his bed. Someone should because he never does. Other than that we played outside alot the weather was amazing..........

My boys started school last week and they love it!! Ben cryed for the first two mins and was fine the rest of the day. He even went potty for the teacher! I really missed him it was so weird without him. I am sure i will get use to it. Nate loves the bus and has a few boys in his class that he alredy knows. 2 weeks and 4 days and we get to find out what we are having. The count down has begun.

Benny is potty trained!!!!!!!!!

The day i never thought would come has.......... He loves going potty on the big toilet. He also got a new big boy bed. He is growing up so much. Now if i could just get him to stop hitting when he is mad. We have one more week before we start school and we are trying to do alot this week. We went to the zoo on mon the weather was so perfect. We went to basses to get corn and feed the billie goats. This weekend nathan is going to his first badger game with his dad, he is so excited. We have a party on sun and are going to the brewer game on mon. Busy!! Today is nathans last t-ball game and open house at his school. Tommorow we ride on the bus for a practice sesson. I can't wait for october because september is already shaping up to be a crazy month.........

Last week we took him to the state fair, on monday he had a friends bowling birthday party at krugers, today we are taking him to the cheesecake factory for his birthday lunch and finally on sunday is his big family party. Ben is alittle jealous. He will his special week too. Last night was open house at his school and he did so good. He walked right away from mike and went to play with his toys. They are getting so old. I went to the dr for my 12 week appt and got to hear the heart beat of the baby. That is always a good thing to hear. I will post pic's this afternoon.........

After being home all week we went to madox's 3 year old birthday party. The boys had a great time playing with all his toys and eating his treats! Mike got to come along even if all he could do was sit on the love seat. the boys were so silly and tired when we came home..

NEW BABY!!!!!

Yesterday i went to the DR for my 2 month ob appt. We are having another baby!!! At first we were alittle surprized. We had started to think of life with only two kids, but i guess things change. We are very excited (alittle overwelmed). The boys both say they want a little brother, Everyone else says maybe i will get "my" girl (my mother is praying) . We will be happy with both. I only know boys and I love them so much another would be great. On the other end a girl would be fun too. Ben has taken to not sleeping at night he says he is afraid and wants to sleep in our room. NO!!! so everynight we are up from 1 to 3 getting him back to sleep. Mike has been great.
