We're going on an Egg Hunt

Hope you all had a great Easter holiday. We had a great day hanging out with both sides of our family. We went to Easter Mass with my family, then to my moms for dinner and an Egg hunt. Then, we went to Bryans familys for a second dinner and another Egg Hunt. The kids sure had fun with the Egg hunt! Gabby was very good at finding the eggs! Nolan was content with just finding one, and then he wanted to open it. It was a good, busy weekend. Wish I had Monday off like the kids did! ;)

Kody-after finding his basket (hidden in his own room)


Jake-he found his basket almost immmediately when coming down the stairs


Gabby-she got a Cleaning Cart from the Easter bunny


Nolan- His 1st year where he actually got to find his basket. (last year he was only 3 months old)

Gab also got a Dora umbrella, which came in very handy on Tuesday morning.

All the grandkids on my side of the family (10 total)


And...Introducing, baby Aubrey (finally got a picture)

Pudding Please!

Gabby wanted to have a pudding cup for dessert one night. Nolan saw this and wanted to have one too. I knew he would make a huge mess, so Gabby said she would share with him. "I'll help you Nolie." she said.
So.....they shared, and Gabby fed his half to him. To cute!

Gabby's New Ride

Yup!! We are back! Got a new camera. I still can't find mine, so I broke down and bought a new one. Lucked out actually, because I found it on clearance. :)

So...here is Gabby's new ride! She has mastered the steering and has turned into quite a good driver. Nolan likes when she takes him for rides, and sometimes tries to ride it himself.








(sorry, that picture was supposed to rotate, but did not)

Precious Artwork

I love the look on a childs face when they find one of their 6,000 pieces of artwork in the garbage. It's like, "I can NOT believe you would throw THIS away!!"

"Ooohh....that's mine! and that is Nolies! Oh. No!"

(insert sound of me giggling in the background and Bryan's laugh coming from the next room)

I'm sorry baby girl, but have you seen my kitchen? I only have room for so many :)

I would love to update my blog....

....But I can't find my camera. See I took this really cute picture of Gabby and Nolan sleeping together (for those of you on Facebook, you already know Gabby climbed up into Nolans crib and they slept together)....they did this for 3 nights actually, and it was so cute. So, I got a picture of them and the next morning Gabby looked at it. She would not let anyone else see the picture. Even Daddy. I have never seen the camera again. Hmmmm.....where could it have gone?

We have looked everywhere. I mean EVERY WHERE. In every toy box, in every bag/purse, in every bedroom, in every bathroom. In every drawer, cupboard and every hiding place we could think of. I am convinced it it gone. Total bummer. There were alot of picures on that camera. I'm also bumming because I have missed taking lots of great new photos while that camera is MIA. hmmph....

Well, let me tell you a little of what we have been up to.

We have 2 new babies in our lives.

AUBREY MARIE LITSCHKE (insert future picture here) born March 7, 2011
Aubrey is our sweet little neice from Bryans side of the family (Bryan's younger sister Katie). She is super cute and super sweet and we are happy to have her! Aubrey has 2 big brothers Jaden and Colten.

MAXWELL DAVID BAUER (insert picture here) born March 26, 2011
Max is our newest little neighbor, born to our good friends Eric (Ted) and Amber.
His big brother Will is Gabby's buddy. We are excited to have another little friend on the street (althought we think a girl would have been nice!)..;) Gabby is still the only girl on the block!

The other photo op that I missed out on was Gabby's new Four Wheeler. She has outgrown her little four wheeler from Aunty Katie and we have been looking to get her a new, bigger one for this summer. My sister Tammy found one at the MOMS sale and picked it up for us! (Thanks again Tammy!) ....Gabby loves it! She was so excited to see she got a new big four wheeler. She was a little hessitant to ride it the first time, but once she got on, she was good to go. Now she just needs to learn how to steer. :) She will have to get some pointers from her buddies Collin and Will. She can't wait for them to come over and ride four wheelers with her!

Well....someday, when I find my camera. I'll be sure to share some pictures with you.

Big Boy!

Penquin, Penquin flap your little wings.
Chasing fish you swim all day.
You can't fly, but thats OK.
Penquin, Penquin flap your little wings.

Gabby and Nolan made Penquins this past week at daycare. They are soo cute! Notice their hands are the wings. :)
Gabby got home, had to show me what they made and then sang the song to me! So cute!


Before
- Nolan got his first "big boy" hair cut with the buzzer. He did really good! Not too much fussing!


He wouldn't keep the cape around his neck. So we just covered his chair.


After! So serious....still thinking.


After! He earned some jelly beans.... So funny!

Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Monday, and Happy Valentines Day to you!


Jakob and Gabby--waiting for Jake's bus this morning.


Mommys Heart Breaker.....aka: Sweetness


Puppy Love!

(I did try to make a new post last week, but my photos would not up-load. Maybe next time!)
