Favorites!!!

I have been so very behind in blogging...so here are a few (okay, a lot) of my favorite pictures from the past couple of months. Enjoy!  (The pictures are actually in reverse order...starting with the most recent and going all the way back to February.)

Go Astros!!!  Look at my two baseball buddies!

Love my kids!!!

We went to Fenway for their 100 year celebration!

Sweet kisses from my kiddos! We went to Western MA for a vacation with Jon's parents when they were here to visit.  It was so nice to get away as a family and have time to relax and enjoy being together!

Scarlet MADE this dress for Ava.  She brought the material and went to town on my sewing machine.  I LOVE it!!!

Cannoli in Boston

He loved having Nana and Papa here!!!

Lots of basketball was played!

Don and Jon went to the Celtics game for Jon's birthday.  We surprised Jon with tickets the afternoon his parents came into town.  They had a great time at the game and got to see a great game.  The Celtics won in overtime.

The Elliotts were here for Spring Break and a mission trip with their church.  They stayed with us one night and the kiddos camped out on the floor for a movie night!

Easter Sunday

Sweet Cousins! We were at an Easter egg hunt...notice the clothing...only in Boston will you see kids in Winter coats and beanies for an Easter egg hunt.  It was so cold that day!  (However, it was 85 degrees just two weeks before this was taken, and we were on the beach in our bathing suits.  Go figure!)

I love these boys!  I took pics for my sweet friend Mary.  I adore her boys and had fun taking their pictures!

I LOVE these girls and loved having them here for their Spring Break.  Brittney and Chelsie mean so much to me and it was truly a blessing to have them here for a week.  I'm so proud of these girls and the beautiful (inside and out) young women they've become!

Brittney and Chelsie visited Ava at school.  They got a tour of the school and also got to experience Kindergarten snack time and recess...oh, the fun!!!

Love this little guy!

I cut Emet's hair for the first time.  Thanks to my friend Gina for the coaching and the equipment to do it.  I think I will be cutting my boys' hair from now on...or at least trying until I mess it up!

My sweet boy!  Love him!

The week we had the 80 degree weather, Owen learned to walk.  He was inspired by the sunshine!

My girls came up to spend a weekend with me back in February.  It was an amazing weekend with them.  It is rare for us to have much time together, so to have them both here for a long weekend was SO special.  I love these ladies with all my hear and am so thankful for them both.  Leigh Ann and Kellie, thanks for a great weekend!!!

Back to Blogging...Part 2

Here is the rest of our February Roundup...Enjoy the pictures!!!

Leigh Ann and Kellie came to visit one weekend. This was at our Community Group Super Bowl Party. We were a little sad that the Pats didn't win, but the party was fun!

I went with Ava's class to a play in Boston. We went to see the Wizard of Oz. She enjoyed the field trip and had a lot of fun!

My babies!

When Leigh Ann and Kellie came to visit (pics from that visit in another post) Jon took the kids to the science museum so we could spend a day in the city. This is Ava and Emet at the museum.

Preschool Valentine's Party

The kiddos

We had a Valentine's date at home this year. Jon cooked us up a yummy dinner...loved it!

We visited Ava's class when she was student of the week. This is her kindergarten class and her wonderful teachers!

We are so thankful for Ava's teacher. She has been great and we wish she would just move up to first grade so Ava could have her again next year. Love her!

Back to Blogging...Part 1

I have been very much out of the blogging world lately. Life has been moving quite quickly and we have been staying very busy. I'm flashing back to February. This is a recap of part of the month. There is more to come in another post soon.

Owen's first haircut

Such a big boy!!!

Love this!!

Mommy/Daughter Date Night with the Miller Ladies

Preschool Trip to the Zoo...it was organized chaos to say the least!!!

Pretending to be flamingos!

The Three Muskateers!

Post Valentine's Date Night
Marsha, Jessica and I surprised our men with a night out. It was fun to hang out with friends and enjoy a nice dinner sans kiddos! That doesn't happen very often.

New Hampshire Winter Vacay...Owen was sacked out while we shopped in the general store!

Dinner out in NH

Thankful for Mom booking the trip for us. We had a blast!

First time skiing

Ava rocked it out on the slopes! She was a champion skiier and even went down from the top of the mountain twice by the end of her first day! So proud of my little girl!

Kaleb came to visit us for his 16th birthday. It was GREAT to have him here!

Snowboarding for his 16th birthday!

Disney on Ice

Celebrating Owen!

We celebrated Owen's first birthday on January 27th. It has been a great year with our little man. We love and adore him so much. I can't put to words how much this sweet little guy has won me over and has my heart. He is sweet little boy and I'm so thankful for him. We celebrated his birthday with presents, dinner and cake at home. Mom was up for a visit and Abbey came over to help us celebrate. Here are some pictures from his first birthday! We love you Owen!

Owen is 1!!!

Thanks to Marsha Turley for taking these sweet pics of Owen! I love my little boy and so thankful for him. I can't believe it has been a year since we welcomed him into this world. Owen is full of energy right now. He loves to eat (anything), will suck down a cup of milk in 10 seconds flat, plays with Emet's trucks and drum sticks, LOVES snuggling his Mommy, is cruising everywhere, sleeps like a champ and smiles (almost) all the time. Love you Baby Owen...you have your Momma's heart!
