It is only March 14th and what a month it has been!
On March 4 at 11:15pm we gained another boy in our extended family. Monica (Dave's sister) and Justin welcomed James Randall into their family. I don't have any pictures to share because Tristen has had RSV, pneumonia and ear infection, and now I think I have it. We have only seen him in pictures. Hopefully I will get some at Easter to share with all of you.
March 9th Tristen turned 3! Can't believe it has been already three years!! He LOVES basketball, hide-and -seek, Duplos and anything Brayden has. We celebrated his birthday with the Boehle's on the 6th, minus a few that were tending to the newest addition. On Tristen's actual birthday he was SPOILED by his Dad!!! Dad spent the day at home with us, took him shopping and out to lunch, napped, open presents, went out for supper, took in his Preschool Open House, and topped the night off with a trip to Coldstone! What else do you need when you are 3?
March 15th, David will turn 30!!! He thinks birthday's at "our age" should be no big deal, although he keeps trying to get the boys to tell him his gifts! We will enjoy a few special treats on his day!
PROMISE to post pictures after I upload them later today!

February review
No that is it March let me bring you up to speed on what happened in Feb.,
*My Grandma turned 90 Feb 2nd, we had a card shower for her as her health was in question.
Feb 9th my Grandma passed away peacefully. Although we were all saddened by the event we are thankful that she did not have to suffer a lengthy death. As we shared our sorrow we got to see extended family.
We got snowed in an extra day at my parents which allowed Grandma and Grandpa to have some extra time with the boys. Monday we headed home~CAREFULLY! We made it in 3 hours (twice the amount it usually takes).
The same week that Grandma passed away Dave's sister Monica came to live with us on bed rest. After being in the hospital twice, in one week, they decided that being in Sioux City versus Wayne was probably better. Monica spent her days laying down and playing games and puzzles with the boys, Justin did his farming during the day and came at night to get the boys all excited right before bed, (soon it will by our turn to do that to them). They stayed with us for three weeks, giving us a taste of what our grocery bill is going to be like when the boys get older.
Through it all we have finished basketball~Brayden did a GREAT job and is moving on to soccer~and have become a family of four again!

Lost in a new year!
SORRY! I really haven't forgotten about this blog I just don't know where my time goes! A quick update and I will try to do better!
Christmas was very low key~snowed in! We did manage to have a playdate with the neighbors. Made it to Wahoo for Svoboda Christmas after driving through drifts semi truck high! We had a great time!
Who goes to the zoo in December??? US!!! We managed to take in all of the inside stuff, which we usually skip! The boys had a GREAT time.
Boehle Christmas was great too! Less hectic, more food and a plastic candle! (I'll post a picture later)
Brayden has started basketball, and Tristen wishes he was 4 so he could play too!
We are paying close attention to the health of my Grandmother, she will be 90 on Feb 2nd. They have decided to move her to Hospice care . We made an extra trip to Wahoo this weekend to see her!
Promise to upload some pictures soon!

Merry Christmas!
We wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I know this week will be crazy so thought I better post now! Travel safe and enjoy all your time with family and friends! Please share with your families our Christmas wishes!
Here are our photos from our trip to visit Santa! You will see they are each holding their letters and lists, if only you could read them, we dictated exactly what they told us to write! Some laughs will come about when the time comes to reread them!
Tristen was so excited to see Santa until it was his turn~it actually went way better then expected! Santa asked if we had been good and Tristen's response was, "a little bit!" The truth be told!
Enjoy the holiday season!!!

Where does the time go?
After a much enjoyable Thanksgiving with traveling, cousins, and way too much food the time is flying by!!! I don't know where everyday goes but my to do list is long and seems to be getting longer each day!
We enjoyed Brayden's Christmas program with both sets of Grandparents and Great Grandma Boehle, followed by dessert (Mint Grasshopper pie~B's special request). Dave headed to MN later last week for one day of training and 9 hrs of drive time! I was thankful for two nights of playgroup activities to help break up my day.
This weekend we finally got Christmas trees up and decorated along with family pictures taken. You know its time to do that again when your 2nd child is wearing the shirt that the 1st one had on in the last family picture! The boys did a great job and we were very pleased with Portrait Innovations.
This week we are bracing for what could be a large amount of snow! I am sure that will mean some snow football, baking cookies and scooping.

A little behind!
Okay so I really don't have any reason for not updating my blog except that life is crazy and Dave and I tried to steal some time for ourselves. Here are the last few weeks in a nutshell!
Halloween came and went! We went with Brayden's class to the Pumpkin Patch (10/28) our third attempt was finally successful! I helped plan the Halloween party, was not able to attend. We had the Fall Festival at school (10/30). A very nice time for the kids to play games and have fun inside!
Halloween started with trying to convince Tristen that in order to trick-or-treat he had to wear a costume. The costume never happened for the playgroup Halloween party but with much struggle we managed for trick-or-treating. We stayed out WAY to long!!
11/1 we headed to Plattsmouth to see our newest niece be baptized! Eleanor June was baptized, spoiled and enjoyed by all! The boys had a great time playing with all the cousins (never enough time!)
The weekend of 11/6 the boys headed to Wayne for two days of FUN with Papa and Nana! They had coffee with Papa at work, checked out story time at the library, had a picnic in the park and spent much time being enjoyed! Dave and I spent the weekend doing things that we rarely do~going to movies, sleeping in, and SHOPPING! I can truly say that we have about 90% of our holiday shopping done!
Check back for some pictures~hopefully I will get those posted this weekend!
