PRE Spring Break

I found these pictures of Presley on Mikey's camera. I am not sure when he took them, but they were too cute.

The reason I do not know when this was taken is because you might have noticed in previous blogs, that Presley wears this outfit quite often. If it is clean, she wears it!

I guess it could be worse, but it seemed like all Winter she wanted to wear her maxi dresses and now that Spring is here, she wears this sweater all the time!!

Bentley playing with his new basketball!

Mikey and I met some friends for dinner one night. They live in a high rise overlooking downtown and it is a beautiful view!!

Presley and I were stretching after a work out one day and Daddie took a picture of our bridge.

The kids are getting too big for all 3 of them to fit in the bathtub. We usually do showers, but this night, I let Presley take a shower with me and then she helped with Kiley and Bentley in the bath tub. She thought she was hot stuff!!

Even after bath, she was still playing the motherly role!

The weekend before Spring Break, we went to our very first Gender Reveal Party. Our friend's Stacy and Jeremiah are expecting their first baby. All of the kids were lined up waiting for them to cut the cake.

If you know Stacy, you know that she cannot keep a secret, so of course she already knew the gender, so she let her parents cut the cake.

It's A Boy!!

The kids had no idea what the big deal about the cake cutting was, but they were ready to eat it!

Stacy's Mom took this picture of Bentley.

Tricia and I have been friends since we were 5 years old. I love this picture of us with our sons.

Group Picture!

Before we left for Spring Break, we met Mom at her office to drop off Buddy. To make the trip worth while, we stopped and picked up dinner and had dinner at her office. Presley's hair was sticking to the chair.

We put the kids PJs on before we went home and took this cute picture with Marmee in her office.

The rest of February (in between snow days)

Bentley got this shirt and shoes for his birthday!

We went to a neighbor's house for Super Bowl and Bentley had front row seats to the kids TV.

One Thursday while the kids were all in school, I went to visit and take dinner to two friends with new babies. They are both boys and super precious. This is Crosby.

And this is Wes.

This was Presley's box that she made at Bentley's birthday party. It was quite a masterpiece.

Ms. Thang.

We take the kids to a church to play every once in a while so that we can have a night out. I had stayed to do an interview for them and snuck this picture of Bentley playing.

We had a random warm day on a weekend, so we decided to have a picnic outside.

As we all know, Presley is very particular about what she wears each day. This day she had to wear her school shirt and she says it is not cute and it looks like a boy shirt. We had to get a little creative and she went to school in her shirt and got so many compliments!!

We took this picture at the end of yoga one day. So fun!!

On day Presley came and asked me to put the phone in her back pocket for her...and so it begins....

I always say that Bentley doesn't really play with the girl's toys too much, but he does love the bracelets!

A random picture of the kids in our bed.

After Bentley's birthday, he finally has some spring and summer clothes to wear!

Cutie Pie.

Mikey and I attended his Annual Awards Banquet. It was so fun to get dressed up and have a night out!

Snow Days 2015

We had a fair share of snow this Winter. This was our first snow!

It snowed all day and was so pretty.

One day, it started snowing while Mikey was at work. He checked the traffic before he left work and it was all red!!

This was the view from his office window!

Luckily he took the jeep to work that day. He took back roads home and was able to stop and pickup Kiley from school so that she didn't have to ride home on the bus.

He always has to take a picture of his first baby.

The driveway.

The house.

We took the kids sledding a few times. Kiley went the first time and didn't love the cold, so the other times, I stayed home with her.

This was the place to be to go sledding!!

Mikey took a few pictures of the house at night. He got some snowflakes in a couple of the pictures.

The kids used Mikey's snowboard for their sled.

On the second snow day, the roads were actually worse because some of the snow and ice had melted the day before and refroze over night. Mikey tried to get the truck out and he slid all the way down the driveway and almost hit the mailbox! He and Pres had to dig in the ice to give the truck some traction.

We had two snow days on a Monday and Tuesday, so we were stuck in the house for 4 days. I was going stir crazy not being able to work out, so I looked up some treadmill workouts and one of my trainers gave me one to do on the stairs.

This was a picture of the house the same day Mikey had to leave work early.

It snowed all day again!

This one was on a Friday, so it was another long weekend stuck inside.

I have always said that I love to cook, but I am not a good baker. I am not sure what got into me that weekend, but I made homemade biscuits for breakfast one morning.

Ice cold Dr Pepper.

You can see how tall the snow was.

Later that day, I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I'm not sure who was worse about eating the dough. Mikey or the kids??

We survived the first two big snows of the Winter. There was actually one more that I will blog about in a later post and it was the biggest of all!
