Spring is in the air!

Three goof balls anxious to get outside! We've gone from a week of the greatest snowfall of the season (see below) to 50s and sunny....time to go run around!!

The snow was HEAVY and perfect for...

...building a snowman! Sadly, Mr Frosty tipped over before daddy got home, but proof is in the picture :)

We recently spent a night in Wausau at a water park with some great friends; one way to beat the winter blues :)

So much fun to get into swimming suits again! The water was refreshing.

Four friends running down the hall. Usually Sy took off the opposite way everyone else was going. This time, he was the leader of the pack :)

All snuggled in. Sam and Gretta slept on the pull out couch and Sy in his pack n play.

Here is Silas AFTER his haircut. I didn't take a before pic, but his hair was getting pretty long. It was going well until he started dipping his sucker in the hair that was falling on his tray....YUCK!

We had a baby shower for our friend Heidi at Renee's house. She was such a trooper with all of the kids; they definitely outnumbered the adults.

Here are our friends Annabelle, Julia, and Matthew. It is always a joy to spend time together!


Mom and I got a good laugh over mom's new creation... a supposedly low-cal treat, after counting the true calories, turned out to be as rich as a slice of cheese cake :) but much less fat :)

Sam at GG and Gampys after his haircut; ironic because they are the ones always saying we should grow his hair out again :) maybe to be similar to Uncle Phils cuts as a child :)

Here are a few pics of Sammy's 3rd dino-theme birthday party. It was precious watching him open his gifts...after almost each one he would exclaim, "WOW!!!!" Sy learned a new word too!

Lily got Sam a toy story puzzle, a book to color in and a little dinosaur. They were in this shoe box, and he said, "wow, shoes!!" He would have been excited about shoes too :)

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa at the party...


Dino-Sam and Gampy.

GG and Gretta smiling for the camera.

This is the excavation site where they dug for dino eggs and then put them in the water where they grew out of their shell. We also played dino-bowling with dino-bone pins and played trivia with the adults. At Sy's party, the women won the match, but this time, the guys dominated labeling the dinos. Since the prizes were mostly girly, the guys could give their prize to their other half :)

Uncle Brian and Auntie Amber...they are expecting their first baby in the fall!

Adam, Kris and Lily...since we would be watching Lily the following day anyway, we decided to have her sleep over. Sam, Grets and Lil all had their own sleeping bag on the floor upstairs. They did great and slept in until 7:30 the next morning. Lily's mom is due May 4th. We will keep you posted!
