just a quick update...

Finally I get to sit down and share with you what our past 2 weeks have been like. Well, like you already know, we've had crazy weather, and (you may not know) we've installed new floors and remodeled our master bathroom. We have put Jack and Will to work, and I have posted proof of that! I have had so much fun this month, I personally do not want it to end. I guess the snow and then the recent beautiful 60 degree weather has spoiled me:-]

& after.

While the crew worked on our floors, we decided to take the boys to Jumpin' Jax.

the more we visit, the wilder he gets.

Jack plays it safe...not typical for him.

It was the boys and my first time ever seeing this much snow. We had a blast!

This is what the boys and I created. I called it exactly what is was... a little snow man. Truthfully, we would have done better with the proper weather gear on.

It just kept on snowing...

Will had a wall all to himself:)

just wanted to paint a square.

I wish I had more pictures to post of this past Saturday's spring like weather. The boys and I had a picnic at our favorite playground on base and later visited horses. Unfortunately, I was only able to take one picture with my phone. Hope that everyone is having a great week and I will post more pictures of our renovated bathroom next time.

"I'm Officially 25"

Yes. I turned 25 on the 3rd and I can't say that I feel a difference from 24 to now 25 but, I can say that I feel blessed and loved by my wonderful husband and two little boys. They are the most precious gifts given to me and I'm forever grateful to God for them.

On this photo, I'm celebrating with the Hopper gang the day before my birthday. (how strange is it posting a picture of just me on our family blog? I don't know, I kinda like it.)

Jack couldn't handle the heat coming from the candles...he makes me laugh!

I loved my gifts. Flowers, shoes, a gift card to Macy's, Pandora charms and comfortable sweats.

On my birthday Adam planned to take me out to eat. I decided on Longhorn. As you can see, Jack got tired of waiting for his sirloin...ha ha. He ate broccoli, bread, cheese, raisins, a slice of an orange and a few bites of Will's hamburger:)

What a great night!

I had so much fun. Thank you Adam, you always have a way to make me feel loved. I love you too!

Terrible two's?

Jack turns 20 months on the 5Th and famous terrible two's has begun early:o. Yet, I find myself giving in to Jack more than I do with Will? Why is that? Why is it much harder to discipline Jack than it is Will? Could it be the way he says "i sowwy"(i'm sorry) or "uh-oh" when he's in trouble? or maybe how tiny he appears to me compared to his big brother Will? Well, one thing is for sure, Jack's got my softer side figured out and it is getting me in trouble with daddy:-]
