How Could I Forget??!!??

I completely forgot to share our exciting news!! This is where we will be in April for our 5 year Anniversary!!! I booked this a month ago and have been counting the days til we go- I don't know how I forgot to tell!!!!Ahh- sun, sand, & blue waters- here we come!

Updates

I realized I never updated on the bathroom tile; mainly because we aren't done yet (well the tile is) but we are waiting to hear back on a quote on the shower door and the faucet and showerhead need to be installed. The tub is done though!! i'll post again when the shower is complete:)

More exciting news (for me anyways) I got a NEW COMPUTER :)!!! I have loved my Toshiba Satellite dearly the last 4 years but it finally bit the dust. So I'm trying out my new one- I have 14 days to exchange for a different one if I don't like it, but so far it's light years ahead of my old one. It's so amazing how far technology advances in just 4 years.I never even knew what I was missing! The poor guy at Office Depot that helped me must have thought I just crawled out of a cave- I didn't even know what a "dual- processor" was! (I still don't think I do, but whatever it is I have one now!)

A Nice Weekend

So the weather was great this past weekend- it was warm in the low 60's and sunny! Unlike today or last weekend with sub freezing temperatures!!!! Anyway we took advantage while we could. We had originally planned on going to the mountain, but then we decided we we're craving Mexican food, so we went out to eat first, and by the time we finished the sun was already setting; so it was closer to just go to the playground- I think they enjoyed it just the same.

Nuttiness continued...

Adam is definitely Walker's favorite playmate- he gets all crazy with him! This looks a little dangerous, but Adam is the only one he is allowed to play like this with! All the background noise is the boys still going nutty because they are WIRED for some reason...

My Motto for the day...(and probably from here on out considering I have 2 little boys and a huge dog!)

Today stinks...the weather is COLD-no fun to go outside and we're BORED! That being said, my kiddos are driving me NUTTY! And I'm not getting anything done...I strapped them in earlier and let Scooby-Doo baby-sit for a little while. (We don't normally keep the carseats in the house, but they were in a friends car so they ended up inside last night.)

I came in 5 minutes after this picture and Maddox had spilled his popcorn everywhere and had decided to play/make a bigger mess of it...like I said, NUTTY! Turns out Scooby isn't such a great sitter...

In other news- Walker has clearly made himself at home and is fitting in great, I think the boys made him exhausted this morning too.

And, I got these beautiful roses from Adam along with a yummy breakfast and a new oh-so- comfy hoodie from AE (I'm wearing it now) on Valentine's Day...

Snow Day!

Well, the snow the weatherman called for came through yesterday. Here are some pictures from today of the boys playing; Maddox was napping but Maryellen kept the boys yesterday/last night while Adam and I went to Chateau Elan for a mini weekend escape!!! It was wonderful and much needed!!! Anyway- she has more pictures of them playing out yesterday so I'll post those later too! Above is Jackson with his "huge" snowball.

Walker LOVED the snow- he kept trying to bite it! He's a funny boy...

Jackson pegging Adam...

Look at that handsome profile!

New Family Member

Meet Walker! We're trying it again. After we re-homed Apollo (which I never posted about because I was sad and felt like a bad person for a little while) I have been feeling like our family is missing someone(a pet, not a person). For any of you who didn't know we re-homed Apollo, we did back in September. It was best for all of us, he wasn't a good match for our family and he wasn't great with the boys. Anyway, we've found ourselves on the internet almost daily looking at dogs. We've looked at all kinds, sizes, ages, etc. We kept going back to Danes. We wanted one a little older than "puppy puppy" but young enough that it wasn't a senior! So I randomly emailed a local breeder - her site said she sometimes had older pups and young adult Danes, but they may not be posted. So I contacted her. She called me back the next day- we made an appointment to meet who she had. When we showed up he was on the screened in porch and we were expecting a much smaller dog, Adam was shocked when she said "this is him!" Walker is currently 9 months, a little over 100lbs, and stands 32 inches at his shoulder. He is so sweet and I just LOVE him. He was a pup from one of the breeder's litters last year; a family purchased him but the mom ran her company out of her home so she really worked full time I think- they asked if she could find him a new home and hated to see him go. We absolutely fell in love with handsome face and after spending about an hour with him decided we'd take him!More pictures to come :)
