Winter Blues? Nah...: )

A Couple of Fishies!

Well, I think it's safe to say that the slow down is officially o-v-e-r!! School is in full force and our spring activities are in full effect with swim lessons and t-ball practice!! Although t-ball is definitely a whole new ballgame (hehe), swim lessons are nothing new for us BUT it is really, really neat to see how the boys have grown since last year. Not surprisingly, Jack "The Fish" Fisher picked up right where he left off...splashing, jumping, diving, swimming, swimming, and more swimming. Bear, on the other hand, is a whole new kid this go round!! The little boy who cried and cried and cried last year is just a faint memory. Now he is a splashing, jumping, crab walking, swimming, and most importantly smiling fool!!
I think Hayes summed things up best when after their first lesson, Jack asked "Well Bear, did you cry just a little bit?" and Bear replied with a simple and quick "Nope, I just did awesome." : )

Love, Love, LOVE!!

Monster Jam 2012!!

A group of us took our manly lil' monsters to the Monster Jam this past weekend (hence the ear protection in the previous post)!! It was a great night full of big buds, big trucks, big smiles, and expensive cotton candy!! Sounds like a winner to me!! : )

A Couple of Silly Supermen...(with ear protection)

Sleeping Beauties

Not sure how it works in your family, but Jason is the "shut down shop" guy in ours. Each night he turns off all the lights, turns on the dishwasher, locks the doors, turns on the alarm, and then checks one last time on our precious cargo before heading to bed himself. Lately though, I've been joining him on his precious cargo checks and I have to say it is some really, really good stuff. There's just not much better than getting to marvel at our 3 little sleeping miracles and then smile at each other knowingly...yeah, we did this. Pretty 'mouth breathing' awesome, if you ask me. : )

S-L-O-W-I-N-G D-O-W-N

This time of year usually puts me in a little funk. The holidays are over, the weather is kinda crappy, and our fast paced lifestyle (which I thrive on) seems to hit a bit of a speed bump. Not quite sure why, but this year is different for me. I am actually embracing the slow down and enjoying every unplanned minute of it! I have even gone so far as to make one of my resolutions to completely cut the phrase "Come on, we're in a hurry" out of my daily vocabulary. It has proven to be a tad harder than I thought, but I am determined and have decided smelling the roses each and every day is the only way to go...no matter how long it takes or how late it makes us for school. : )
