Some fresh air!

For the past week or so its been raining, snowing and just yucky! Today is the fist time we have seen the sun in a while it seems.. Evan wanted to climb a tree and go for a walk so we did.. Elaina was so happy just sitting in her stroller watching her big brother running around! cant wait till she can join him :)

5th Birthday Pics!

Evan had a birthday party with his friends at Michaels. It was cheap considering all the other places I had checked out.. 50 dollars for 2 hrs plus cost of the craft. which was 2 dollars a kid! Plus then I bought pizza but the pizza place did a discount for birthday parties at Michaels. Large pizza's were only 5 dollars.. NOT BAD! They decorated tee-shirts and painted sun catchers then had pizza, cupcakes, and ice cream.

Some of the shirts drying
