A day in the sun!

Went the Kingspoint Park today! The kids had a great time! We went with some friends and had a great time! It was a bit windy outside so it made it kind of chilly but the sun was out which was GREAT! It was nice for me to get out and play with the kids! They enjoyed it so much! I am sure they were sick of being indoors! Ethan is so busy that he goes stir crazy inside all the time! I am greatfull that we have such great friends that will take us to the park! Elliana had a great time being able to run. I hate that we live in such a small apartment. The kids have no room to run! Getting them out to the park is always a great thing to do! We ate lunch there too! It was great to have a picnic in the sun! We have missed the warm weather so much! Ethan more then the rest I think. He is just so active! Elliana loves to play with Ethan out side as much as possible! It was just a great day!

The Park!

We went to the park today! It was a lot of fun! We ate a picnic lunch of sandwiches, apple sauce, juice, chips, and cookies! We went to a park we have never been to before. It was a blast! The kids had so much fun! It was a lot of fun to spend time as a family! The kids brought their
soccer balls we played a bit of soccer! Ethan love soccer! Its his favorite game! I am looking forward to signing him up again in the fall! Ellana has taken to soccer too! She asked me for a soccer ball last year around this time so we had the Easter Bunny bring her one! She has loved it ever sense! I am excited to sign her up when she is old enough. It will be a lot of fun to watch both kids play soccer. It was so nice to have Craig with us as well. It was nice to watch him get some of that time in with the kids! He sure misses them with his new job. He doesnt get to see them much. Elliana has had a hard time not getting her daddy time in. So this was good for her. And it was good for Ethan to have his best buddy to play with. And it was good for me to see Craig and spend some good time with him and the kids. I cant wait for the weather to get nice again so we can go out to the park more often. I think we will make rounds this summer and go to all the parks we can! Ethan starts school in the fall so I want this summer to be the best for him! I just hope we
have the time and money to give him the best summer ever!
The park was a great way to get out and enjoy the sunshine! It snowed last week and it was fun too but I am so glad the sun is out and its starting to warm up! I am hoping that was our last bit of snow! I am looking forward to warm weather and lots of fun at the park!

The Dentist

The kids went to the dentist yesterday! Ethan was excited to go back. He sat on the chair and asked for his favorite movie. He let them do an exam, cleaning, and floride treatment! He got entered in the No Cavities Club again and I am so proud of him! He has never had a cavity! Elliana sat on the chair and let them do an exam. She also got put in the No Cavities Club! She did so good! The only thing they said is that she needs to start stopping the thumb sucking. He was a little worried about how its effecting her teeth. But other then that she is great! They did so good! I am so proud of my kids! And I left there feeling like a great mom!

Let it Snow!

Ethan loves the snow! We didnt get much snow this year but when it did come Ethan was right in the middle of it! I am glad we got them warm winter coats this year! Elli didnt like the snow at all! But Ethan would make snow angels, snowmen, anything that can be done he did it! He even got into a snow ball fight with Daddy! That was fun to watch! We would have to drag him in kicking and screaming! He would have stayed out there and endured what ever frost bite it gave him! I love how he enjoys life to its fullest! He doesnt care if he gets sick or frost bite as long as he gets his time in the snow! I love this kid!

Elliana is 2!

Elliana turned 2 this last December 13th. She is growing up so fast. We didnt do much for it but it was pretty special. She had some of her favorite family and her closest friends come and celebrate her. It was a lot of fun! The only thing missing was Craigs family. We sure did miss them through the party. I had a great time making her cake! It was purple! And the frosting was green. She had a Tinkerbell birthday. I look at her and I cant believe that 2 years ago she was born. I know the second she was born that she is one specail little girl. She has such a swee spirit and a good sense of right and wrong. I am very sad she is getting big so fast! But I do look forward to all the fun times ahead of us! She is such a Daddys girl. From the moment she was born she had him wrapped around her tiny finger so tight! I dont think he minds it at all. And that relationship hasnt changed. If anything its gotten stronger. She has a way of comforting you when you are upset or sad. She lights up the room just by walking into it. Her best friend is her brother. She loves him more then anything (besides Daddy). She is always concerned if he is doing alright. Its pretty cute. She is a shinning star! She is our goofball too! She is hilarious! I could go on and on about her! She had a great birthday!

Its been a long time!

Sorry its been so long sense my last blog! I guess its catch up time! In November I got a new nephew who is cute as can be! I have found out that close to 15 of my friends are pregnant and due between March and August. I am so excited to be surrounded by such great things! Craig is on the job hunt but also has been working on his freelance business and doing very well with that. He loves to do the graphic design. Ethan had to skip preschool because there wasnt enough room and we were put on a waiting list for both headstart and the school district. He is looking forward to kindergarten in August! Its such a bitter sweet feeling. I am so excited for the friends he will make and the experiances he will have. But like every mom I worry about him. Elliana is 2 now and its just crazy! She is such a girl and I love it! She loves to go shopping with me! I have painted her toe nails too! She got her hair cut for the first time yesterday! Such a big girl! As for me I am enjoying the time I get to spend with my kids. I love watching them grow and learn right before my eyes. I dont miss anything! I am the girl who has everything!

Craigs Graduation!

Craig has been graduated for almost a week but I am just now posting because I have been really busy. His graduation went very well. I am so proud of him! He graduated as the Salutitorian of his class. I was chocked up watching him march down the isle to get his diplomia. I know that his Grandma Dean and my Grandma Jensen were smiling down on him proud of his choice. I am so glad that he never gave up. I am greatful for the sacrifices he made so he could get to where he is. I am very happy. It was great to have Ethan see Daddy get his specail paper. He looked just as proud of me! I am glad that both of our children got to see Craig accomplish something so grand! It was so hard for Craig to get where he is and I know its because of the love and support of his grandparents, my parents, and his parents. He has been through so much the last few years. He has wanted to stop school. But he kept going and I am so proud of him and thankful for everything he has done for our family! Pictures are coming soon!
