Pop

The world lost an amazing man today. The selfish part of me is not ready to live in a world without my Pop...the other part of me couldn't bear to watch him struggle any longer, and imagines the reunion between him and my grandmother, oh he missed her so much....and it helps to ease the pain. After a long night, though he was very comfortable, he took his last breath this morning, with all of us around him. 

I will love you forever, Pop...may you rest easy now, pain free, with the love of your life. You will forever be missed.

Art

Lexi is entering a drawing into the Yearbook cover contest! She's not thrilled with how its coming....but I think its fantastic....

Olivia

Olivia was looking so sweet (and a little silly) all bundled up outside today!

We picked up the kids pottery from You're Fired today! They LOVE how they came out!!  Gotta love that Ty put blood on his dinosaurs mouth, lol...he is such a boy!!

Lexi

The animals tend to flock to Lexi...lol, even though she's allergic to cats, she still lets Joey cozy with her...

Dinosaurs

Ty is still SUPER dinosaur obsessed. He loves the Jurassic Park movies...and for awhile has been stuck on watching Jurassic Park 3, and then re-enacting the airplane part with his toys...

...I absolutely LOVE watching him play, and listening to him!

Pretty Lexi

Pretty Lexi in her warm hat...its so SUPER freezing outside!!

Smoothies

The girls made some smoothies from their recipe book! They were monitored VERY closely while cutting the fruit...

Bella boo

My poor Bella boo came home from school with a fever and a headache....and passed out on the couch within a half an hour...

....hoping when she wakes up that she is fever and headache free!!

Hawks

The kids and I noticed these 2 hawks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up high in a tree, just hanging out...

Painting

No school today! Took the kids to You're Fired so they could paint a little!! In a week, we will pick up their masterpieces!

Football

Ty was ready for the big game today! Patriots lost....but it was a good season!

And for comparison sake, and because I can't believe how much he's grown in a year, here he is last year...

Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice this afternoon! There was a little bit of a snowstorm going on, but it didn't stop us! I have a gazillion pictures to go through (the girls like me to make them little flip books with the pictures)....but here are some we've gone through...

I will say that, by far, Ariel was the most flexible skater of them all!!

It was SUPER snowy when we came out! EVERYONE had a fabulous time...thank you Uncle Shaun and Aunt Sue for the tickets!!

Playdate

Bella was dyyyyyyyyyyyyying to have a playdate over at Tanya's house, so she could play with her friend Liza, and momma could have some adult time, hahaha...

...thinking of doing this every week!!! We had so much fun!

At the busstop....Bella contines to PICK UP Ty, even though at this point he weighs more than her, lol. He only tolerates it for a few seconds, lol, as it drives him crazy...

Bella took a late tub this morning, and when she takes a late tub we need to blowdry her hair for school.  She wanted to do it herself this morning...

Love this girl, lol...

The girls each got their own recipe books for Christmas, and every week they are going to make something from them. They wanted to make these ice cream cone cupcakes this week...

Monday

Just hanging out on Monday...

Nice

We're having some nice Spring like weather! Its fabulous....aside from the fact that our yard is disgusting...slushie, muddie yuck. Sooooo....we are going for long walks and scooter rides....

Movies

We went to see Walking with Dinosaurs today....all 6 of us! It was mainly for Ty, as he is OBSESSED with dinosaurs right now (he even wore his t-rex shirt)....

Ty LOVED it...

...the whole family enjoyed it, even Lexi!!

Bella's water balloon

So, the water balloons that we added food coloring too....well, they turned out odd, not like the ones we've seen online!!

And of course one of those ones, well, its Bella's favorite...

Love my spunky girl...
