Easter Blessings

Max & Cousin Tyler

Are we sure they are 2 & 3 years old?

"Cheese"

We had a wonderful Easter. We got up Sunday morning and went to church and then came home and got ready for the Vance Easter gathering at 12:00. That was a nice time with a great egg hunt. Max & Brock both did great. I wasn't sure how Brock would do, but he took off running and filled his bucket full. Then we went to visit my grandma. She was in the hospital up until Friday, so we didn't have an Easter dinner but we visited for a while and the boys love to see "grammy".

We really have so much to be thankful for. We thank God for giving us everything we have, each other, our boys, our new baby coming, our home and everything surrounding it. We take for granted that it should just all be there for us, but really we are so lucky.

I've been feeling okay. I've gone from nausea 80% of the time to feeling pretty good with about 20% of the day with nausea and vomitting. Hopefully that will all be leaving me very soon. I'm definately getting a belly. Seems really early but I guess when I've already had 2 kids in the last 4 years things seem to protrude out quickly.

4+ 1 = Family

Well it is announcement time! Andy and I are expecting our 3rd child. I am currently 12 weeks along and have visited the doctor once. I go again in a couple of weeks to do a heart beat check, etc. . . My due date is October 23rd. We have told a few family members and friends and I'm sure word will get around quickly. We haven't really told the boys. They would forget within 10 minutes anyway and wouldn't understand. My guess is we will tell them when I get ready and deliver. We will see!!!!

In other family news, not a lot is going on. We've just been keeping busy with day to day chores. We did have an addition to my family: My brother's girlfriend had a little boy. Sage Allen was born on, get this, April 1st. Easy delivery for her and everything is fine.

Andy's niece also had her 1st birthday party Saturday, so we traveled to Greenwood for that. Happy 1st Birthday Alexis!!!!!!!

Andy and my 6th wedding anniversary was Sunday too. We weren't able to do a date night, but we did spend the day together, so that counts for something. Hopefully sometime soon we can have that date night.

All other is going well, I'm trying to get ready for outside work. I.E. start mowing, pulling weeds, planting flowers, etc. . . if the weather would decide if it's going to be warm or cold.

Brock Turns 2

This past weekend was a busy one. Brock turned 2 on Saturday, so on Friday night for his birthday present we went to see Playhouse Disney Live in Louisville. This was a very good show that I enjoyed myself. They had Mickey, Minnie and Pals, Tigger, Pooh & Darby, Little Einsteins & Handy Mandy! It took Max a few minutes to get adjusted and figure out where we were but after about 20 minutes he watched and enjoyed. Brock liked it as well and danced to the music. A good time had by all of us. Saturday evening was his party. We had family over for a soup supper & cake. Thank you to everyone for coming and celebrating Brock turning 2.

Wow 2 years old, it doesn't seem that long ago and we were celebrating Max turning 2 and now he is getting ready to turn 4. Time flys, especially when you're busy!!!!

Father & Son Bonding

It's not enough that they work and play "farm" but they have to read about it too!!!

Great Weekend

What a fun weekend! Friday night we celebrated my birthday by going to The Melting Pot in Greenwood. Sally and Eric went with us and what a fun time. Great food and lots of laughs, mostly at Eric!!!! Laura came over to watch the boys. They love her so much and she is a wonderful girl. Definately a keeper!!!!

Then on Saturday we went to our traditional Valentine event. The Farm Machinery Show (don't get to jealous girls I know it is everything you would want too). However, this year was a little different. It was the first year we took Max. He had never been to something like this nor to tractor pulls. He did pretty terrific. He did sleep through 2 classes of tractor pulls (2 hours) so that helped. Really, who can sleep through tractor pulls? If anyone can, my children can!!!!! Brock had to stay at home. My mom came over and watched him for the day! THANKS MOM!

The only disadvantage of having a great weekend out is that now it's Sunday and there's lots to do around the house before the new week begins!!

Wanted

I am looking for a sectional couch to put in my basement. It doesn't have to be in perfect condition but nice enough! I really don't have a color preference either. If anyone knows of one for sale or someone just wanting to get rid of one please let me know through this blog or e-mail me at amaschino1@verizon.net.

Snow Days

We made it through the bad weather. The boys and myself actually didn't leave the house until Friday night. (I guess working at home has more than one advantage). Max did go out and play in the snow and loved it. Brock on the other hand did not. He is nuts about getting stuff on his hands and when the snow got on his boots and gloves he had a fit. So, Andy put him in the truck and let him watch from there.

I was able to meet my new nephew this weekend. His name is Caiden Alexander. I was also able to visit with his brother, Dominic. I don't get to see them often, so it was nice. They are so cute and Dominic is growing up so fast.

Andy did some great work this weekend. I had a list of like 8 things for him to accomplish and guess what he got them all done. I am soooooo proud. He was working on one of the closets doing some reorganization and pulled the boys' book basket out and as you can see from the picture, Brock was in heaven. I am so glad they both enjoy reading. Even though it made a tremendous mess for me to clean up.
