Hailey's Birthday and the rest of May

We had a busy rest of May, including Hailey's birthday and a family birthday party to celebrate Hailey & Taylor's birthdays together!

Hailey turned 4 and she is so happy to be another year older, me however, I can't believe yet again how fast the time flies by and wish the kids would stay little longer!

The kids and I walked friendship trail one afternoon when Ben had to work

and we checked out the new park on the other end of the trail, very fun.

Ben took the last week of May off to go fishing with his Dad, something they've never done and they enjoyed themselves.

The kids have really been enjoying going for bike rides in the evening and on weekends when it's not too hot.

We helped celebrate Grandpa & Grandma Topinka's 63rd wedding anniversary on Sunday afternoon

The kids and I went and played at Jefferson Park one Thursday night when Ben had softball there, but it was so windy! Still fun.

and we had a picnic on Sunday afternoon at Grandma & Grandpa Mrnak's

The kids had fun going on a tractor ride with Grandpa

We missed camping this year over Memorial Day weekend but we enjoyed watching the parade downtown and checking out the area a little bit

This big girl turned 6 this past weekend.. I will post another blog for that

We broke out all the sprinklers last week and cooled off a bit

Aiden wasn't too sure about it

April - Taylor Loses Teeth! House is done! Etc...

Sorry for the lack of posting! Our April flew by and it was a busy month! Full of house work, easter eggs hunts, playing with our friends and cousins, and helping Grandma and Grandpa M move up here!

Here is the house, done! yay! It looks great, so glad for all of the help!

We had a couple of easter egg hunts, which the kids loved. Yes, it was one of the warmer days!

Megan and Aiden playing at their new house

Aiden has to help me with the dishes every single time so I try to do them while he's napping, lol

We played at Sunset Park for the first time in Kimberly and it is nice

Taylor lost 2 teeth!

Aiden was laughing and talking to Layla

and Taylor was watching her too, lol

Cooper and Layla are getting married soon I hear... at least that's what Grandma P and the girls have cooking, lol.

These girls were too cute one morning, whispering in each other's ears.

Grandma and Grandpa moved up here.. 8 mins away or so, sooo nice to have them close! So happy we don't have to drive so far so often anymore too :)  Welcome to the neighborhood!

Aiden's First Birthday!

We had some family and friends over for Aiden's first birthday on Saturday!  We had pizza, cake, ice cream and opened presents. It was lots of fun and glad most everyone could make it!

This past year has flown by way too fast for my liking! Although, this little man is so much fun and has such an adorable personality!

He wants to sit on the big boy swing already, though I have to hold his back still just in case he lets go!

His little friend Sidney has the same sweatshirt as him, they get along as much as most 1 year olds ;)

Our house is undergoing some painting and new siding/soffets/etc.. here is a before picture/after thought since I forgot to take one before they started painting yesterday.

Disney on Ice and Other Happenings

It seems kind of funny posting these snow pictures now that the high is 74 here today! We have had an unusually warm week, knock on wood, and it's been wonderful!  Last week we had one more snow and the kids had fun playing outside in it for a couple days!

How cute are these two? Bennett is always helping Aiden, they are little buddies.

These two guys are ready for some baseball!

helping brush sissy's hair ;)

and this picture is just because she's cute :)

the girls were riding bikes in the garage one day and Aiden wasn't too interested in the bikes. He was, however, interested in this awesome broom he found in the garage! lol 

then Mom took it away and he made this face :P

Taylor got up from the table one night and started washing dishes! I could get used to that!

Aiden loves reading books

the girls had a sleepover in Hailey's bunk one night last weekend :)

We were all excited to get to go to Disney on Ice in Green Bay again this year.

This is Alice in Wonderland

Peter Pan

Aiden liked these mickey ears but didn't want them on his head for long :)

I tried to get a picture of the girls during intermission but the show started and they couldn't look at me for a second :P

The Lion King

Rapunzel and Flynn Rider

Mickey & Minnie Mouse

All of the princesses and cast

Logan & Tyler got these swords and Aiden thought it was the coolest thing. He caught Jaimie's eye here and was doing his shy thing ;)

I'll get you!
