Newish Kitchen

I have no clue what is up with blogger or if it is vista but it is being a PITA, Big time. I add pics and try to type no cursor so I deleted the pictures and am typing now and then it will be below oh well you will still have something to read. Anyway Brian and I have been debating what to do in the kitchen to make it a bit more tolerable. So we decided on shelving for dishes and the toaster. We also decided to repaint the red out we also plan to add tile eventually. But here are some pictures of the shelves and the painted walls.

Sledding

Last night we went to the Davis' for dinner and some sledding after our trip to the gym. Maggie had fun and even tried hot chocolate afterwards. This morning we woke up to even more snow which is fun until you want it to melt and I think with the amoutn we got it will be here for just a little longer than necessary.

Our Big Girl!!

She is three today I can't believe that she is so big already. Short post since we have company tonight they are leaving for vacation tomorrow well that is what we call it in our house I don't think 3 months is a vacation...well if you are retired it is. Anyway just had to share a picture of our BABY today.

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!

I have been a slacker but soon that will change I am making goals this year to organize my photos and computer it is a mess with photos that are bad and ones I just don't need to keep forever.

And I might be a day Late but I am also wishing my hubby a Very Happy Birthday!

Christmas Display

There is a guy on the fire department that has a huge Christmas dsiplay at his house every year. We are lucky enough to know this man and have the opportunity to visit the display up close here are a few pictures from the visit. I do need to return and take a picture of the whole yard it is just amazing. The picture to follow are just a few of the things he has on display. He also has carebears, my little pony, toy story characters, spiderman and the list goes on.

I know it's early but I just can't help it

in a month my little munchkin will be 3 and I can hardly believe it.

She went from this sweet little helpless baby....

Too a crazy preshooler that finds it necessary to tell her babysitter about nasty magazines in her daddy's closet(I don't think she has ever even seen the inside of the said closet) but none the less that was the story yesterday, and tuesday the sitter called me at work and told me that she had to sit her down and have a discussion about bad words...seems she repeated son of a ***** . My daughter proceeds to tell Laura that she heard it from her grandpa. Just thought I would share or laughs for the week ...I am ready for something new today. She will probably just blow my mind again though.

Conversations with Maggie

As most of you that read our blog know, we are expecting the arrival of a sibling for Maggie in June. We are 10 ½ weeks and everything is going good. Brian and I even got the pleasure of hearing a heartbeat today… takes a load off my mind. Anyway this past Thursday we told Maggie that she is going to be a big sister and have had a few conversations with her about this in these last few days.

Anyway below is one of those conversations.

We were getting ready to leave this morning and talking about the baby that is going to be joining our family.

Maggie said we are having a girl well that is Mommy is having a girl but it isn’t coming yet and she is going to be a big sister. We aren’t going to have a boy because Daddy’s have the boys is what she has deduced from our conversations. I guess I need to point out that Aunt Dana had Hayden and he is boy. Maybe that will help her to understand that the Mommies have the babies.

If any of you are wondering where the super cute shirt came from it is from www.justjen.com
