Christmas magic 2012

The girls picked out new Christmas pajamas then we made cookies to put our for Santa. I'll let the pictures tell the story this Christmas!

There's no place like home!!!

So back in July, I had made a major decision for my little family. We are building a house!!! We could not be more excited!!!! We are only at the ground work right now, literally. We are hoping to be in by spring break. I will keep everyone posted on all the updates. Be prepared to house overloaded!

Jog-A-Thon

Every year my daughters' school has their biggest fund raiser of the year. This year I did not get to watch Karsyn run in the morning but I did make it in time for Kaitlyn to jog. I had parent teacher conferences that day and I was done at 11:30 am ;). The Daddy and Ogi were able to go in the morning so Karsyn did have her own cheering section. Karsyn ended up running 39 laps and Kaitlyn, though she didn't beat her score from last year, she did go 41 laps. Way to go girls!!!

Is age really just a number?

My big girl!

My dearest Karsyn Emiko Marie...You are 4!!! I get a little choked up thinking about you being such a big girl. You are my sweet cuddler. You are my firecracker. You are my mini me and I love that about you. You have your daddy's temper personality but your mama's looks. lol I can't believe you will be going to school this year. I can remember when I thought I had food poisoning but really it was your sweet being growing inside of me. I was scared surprised that we were having you. I cannot really remember life before you, maybe because it wasn't as interesting:) I feel happy that we are always in NY for birthday and that you get to share that day with this part of your family but sad that you don't get to share it with daddy.

1st Care Bear

We had a combination party at GG and Papa's house. Since you and Madi have the same birthday and Kaitee never gets to be here for her birthday so we did it all together. It turned out just great minus the rainbow cake!! lol It fell apart on mommy and we ended up having pizza and cake balls. Mommy was pretty upset but you don't like cake anyway and you LOVE pizza so it worked in your favor. You got a lot of moo-la and presents. Best of all you got a lot of love from everyone. Here's to another wonderful year of growing.

Another year in the making!

Soooo It’s already February!! Where has the time gone this year! 

Here a few pics from Kaitlyn’s class signing Christmas carols at the mall.  She was so cute.The kids and I spent the new year with some wonderful friends.  The girls are in full swing practicing their dance for recital.  I saw the costume and I cannot wait to share the pics!!! They are so stinkin’ cute!!  We have survived a house full of the stomach bug and now I am battling a cold.  Hopefully we will recover soon and be out in this beautiful weather!!  (well aside from the last few days) This weather has been amazing.  I am loving the after school walks with the girls and the bike rides on the weekends.  I love that the girls are big enough now to do those things together.   Kaitlyn cannot wait for her birthday.  We took a tour of the Kindergarten classes at All Saints, she was able to meet both teachers.  She also attended her first Mass with her class.  She was so excited.  Karsyn cannot wait until she can go to school with Kaitlyn.  I love that they are growing to enjoy each others company and it melts my heart to see them kiss goodbye in the morning and express their affection for one another.  I hope they continue to grow as friends.  I have signed up for a 5K in April and I am trying to get ready for that, slow but steady wins the race??? RIGHT???  I have the slow part covered lol! I’ll get the steady down as soon as I can kick the sickness. 

Trying to redeem myself

Ok so I notice that once again this blog was on the back burner...ugh!! I hope I am not kidding myself when it comes to this task. I am going to attempt to update on my little munchkins. Kaitlyn started school!!! I cannot believe she is old enough for this. She loves it!! I knew she would, she is such her mama's girl!


We celebrated our Sweet Jack's birthday!! So fun at Little Gym

We went to the pumpkin patch AND we celebrated Halloween with our dearest friends, The Morris Family.
