I had an accident

And cut off the tip of one of my fingers! OOPS!! Anyway, its tough to type, but I didn't want to leave everyone hanging when I said I'd post more so I figured I can at least come post some recent pictures! We went to Chicago on Saturday with grandma and have also been playing out in the yard alot.

Hope you enjoy and I'll be back again when I can type with all of my fingers to give you more details!

Don't know why this is so blurry but here are the boys fighting over their new toy!

Alex being insane! He did this several times before I thought to get the camera. In the beginning he always landed in two feet without falling









Standing on the moon









Lots more Chicago pictures at dropshots but my finger is tired ;) Check them out!!

Ok, I'm back

I've slacked long enough. I'm sorry to those of you who still check in with me. I promise to try to do better, but don't hold your breath ;) Lots going on lately. The first week in June Max went camping at Gun Lake with my parents. He had a really nice time. Tim, Alex, and I went the next weekend to pick him up and we all had fun too. I have some great video of the boys on the tube behind the boat.

I've also been working a lot the last week or two, but before that I was volunteering to be off as much as possible. I know I should need the money, but I just hate going in at night. I wish ever day that a day position would open up somewhere.

Tim has been working a ton too. He'll get nice 3 or 4 day stretches off, but then he'll have to work for 11 days straight. He had to let his assistant go due to the economy and that really stinks for us.

Hmm, what else. I walked in a 5K with my neighbors and some of their family members. That was pretty fun. Definitely a day I enjoyed.

Here are some pictures and videos to tide you over until I can get the blog looking pretty and post more often.

Alex and Papa fishing.....or trying to ;)


Alex pushing Max on the swing. This did not end well, haha. Alex ended up on his butt because he doesn't know to move after he pushes.


Can you see the purple tinge to his skin? He was blue but didn't want to get out.


Come and try to get me


The three boys wrestling.


Max on the tube all by himself.


Daddy taking Alex for a spin


Chilling out sporting his "Life is Good" T-shirt.


And that's about all I've got for now. I have laundry to do today and seeing as Tim will be home in a few hours and the house is a mess, I should probably get to cleaning. I do promise to try to post more and I even have more video on my camera right now. I'll get it in here as soon as I can!

Under Construction

If you see this blog and it looks all funky with the template, I'm working on it. Be patient and I promise it'll look normal again ;)

Picutres....Finally

Lots of good ones of late, with stories to tell too. So far we have really been keeping busy this spring. Tim has done an amazing job with the yard. I really need to get some pictures so we can share that as well.

This is Max's last week of preschool and I'm getting kind of sad. My baby is growing up and going to kindergarten next year :( He is really looking forward to it. For the summer he's going back to Starz Daycare and I know he's excited about that too. I keep giving him other options, but thats where he wants to be. He starts there in two weeks. First he needs to go camping with my mom and dad up at Gun Lake. He is very excited about that. He is going to try to learn to ride his bike without training wheels before they go. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Alex has become quite the monster lately. Definitely all 2 year old. He is very cute which makes it hard to stay mad at him. You'll see from some of the pictures. Haha!

Here he snuck downstairs when he was supposed to be sleeping. In trying to keep quiet and not get caught, he fell asleep.

Here I believe he had been eating candy, and then later some dirt or something outside. In any case, he was a mess. It must have been fun though because he was crashed out.

Here is a video of him cooking with Tim. Don't freak out when you see him by the stove. This is a very common occurrence and he's quite good at not touching anything he shouldn't.

Memorial Day we took the kids to Indiana Dunes in Michigan City. They had a blast. It was cold, windy, and the water was frigid, but I have never seen them have so much fun. Tim taught Max how to skip rocks and Alex enjoyed just throwing them. Towards the end, Tim took them up the big dune hill and let them run back down. I got some great video of that.

And you get the idea. If you'd like to see the rest of them, and a few more videos, visit our dropshots site. I have them all posted.

I'd love to stay and post more, but I just found out I have to go into work at 3am. I should really get some sleep before then ;) Sorry it took me so long to update and I'll try not to do that anymore!

Yikes!

I had no idea it has been almost 2 months since I've posted anything. I didn't mean to do that. Time has just gotten away from me lately. Between work, kids, sleep, and the beautiful weather, I haven't been on the computer much and when I am, I'm not in a posting mood.

Anyway, just wanted to stop in and let you know that I have some great videos of Alex helping Tim cook, some cute pictures Max took when he had my camera, and one of Alex asleep on the stairs. I promise to take some time to get them on the computer tomorrow and do a real post with catch-ups and everything!

Thanks for your patience and sorry for my absence!
