Bathroom makeover!

I found a shower curtain at TJ Maxx that goes well with our new bedroom look and here are the results.... New shower curtain and new decoration.

Bedroom Makevover!

Bedroom Makeover!

I bought a dresser and night stand to match our bed that my dad made a few years ago. I found it on sale and I also had a $10 off coupon (love coupons and sales). Its my birthday and Christmas present which I am very ok with. I found a comforter I liked unexpectedly, and decided to take the plunge and re-do our bedroom. Mom and I found cute decor tonight and we completed the makeover. I love the result!

Happy 3rd Birthday Owen!

Yesterday was Owens 3rd Birthday! Cant believe that 3 years ago our lives changed forever. We welcomed a baby boy into the world and we are so thankful every day for our little man. Love you more and more every day, Owen.... We did cake and ice cream last night to celebrate with the family.

4 hours of clean up and many more hours to go...

Eric and I cleaned up some of the yard today due to all the damage from the storm. I even ran the pole saw and the chain saw. We were rock-stars. I am pretty sure I wont be able to move my arms in the morning but I am ok with that. It was a great workout! I almost forgot to say a HUGE, THANK YOU! to my grandpa who showed up with a huge grabber and was able to pick up all the piles I created throughout the day. We would still be hauling piles of branches if it wasn't for him. He is such a life saver.

Storm damage

We had some storm damage today. Lots of other places were much worse. 80mph winds and power outages for days in some places. Were thankful we had no significant damage to our house. The trees that went down have power lines in the roots so we have to wait until WPS comes and does their thing before we can begin clean up. It may be awhile considering they are overwhelmed with power outages etc.

Cheesehead 5K

Mom and I ran the Cheesehead 5K on Saturday. Here is an attempt at a photo of us before the race. Sorry I cant rotate the photo it is in a weird format :)

Bay Beach

My work paid for Bay Beach for any families interested. Free food and free ride tickets all night long. The boys had a blast.

5 Year Anniversary Trip

Eric and I took a 5 Year Anniversary trip with out the kids. First time since Owen was born and he will be three in Sept. It was so needed, time to spend together to rekindle our love : ) We had a fabulous time. We had dinner at Marley's (a must) Friday night and had the Rum Grouper (AMAZING). Saturday we had a couples massage and it was so awesome we both loved it and would do that again. Saturday night we had a nice dinner at House of Embers. It was such a beautiful resort and the weather was wonderful. The only thing we missed was kayaking on Saturday. It rained so we headed downtown and walked through all the shops.

Makeover!

Wednesday Eric and I decided to makeover our "office" that had become a dumping ground for miscellaneous items and we completely gutted the room of all its contents including the computer desk (what a hassle to take apart and move to the sun room) we dont use and make it into the kids play room. Its so nice to have all the toys (we have way too many) in one location for easy clean up. The boys have yet to play in there but hey that makes it even easier to keep clean : )

Happy 1st Birthday Evan...

We had a cookout with the family yesterday to celebrate Evans 1st Birthday. We did an owl theme (Look Whoo's turning 1). We had a really nice time with family.

Shawano Vacation 2011

Fun at Shawano Lake.
Owen caught fish on his new fishing pole he got for going on #2 on the potty (TMI). The boys played hard every day and had a good time. We visited a friend on Monday and had a good time with her and her kids.

5K

Mom and I ran the Sole Burner this morning. A beautiful morning at that. Sorry I dont have a picture of us in our cool shirts but we pretty much rocked! I am so proud of us for being able to do it and together at that. Enjoying the sunshine today with the boys. Tomorrow is Mothers Day so make sure you let your mom know how awesome she is. Being a mom is a tough job! One that pays the best (in love).

Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing moms out there : )
Enjoy your day!!!

Date Night and Easter

Eric and I decided to have a date night tonight. We honestly cant remember the last time we went out, just the two of us.. Eric thinks it was a year ago, YIKES! We went to a somewhat local Supper Club and enjoyed steak on his parents : ) (they gave us a gift certificate for X-Mass). I had 1/2 a fritter, a salad, french onion soup, a 6 oz tenderloin with prawns and steamed aspargus. My tenderloin melted in my mouth it was amazing. Eric had the bacon wrapped blue cheese tenderloin with a salad, fruit, aspargus and mushrooms. I had a bite and it was sooooo good. We ended up taking leftovers home and only spending $20.00 (yeah, cheap dates). We ran some errands afterward and were home by 7:30. I know were a little lame... what can we say. Evan has a phobia of some sort and once he realizes were not home he freaks out and cries for, well until we get home.. He seems a little young to do that but this is the second or third time it has happened when we leave him with family. As soon as we walked in the door he went by Eric and immediately stopped crying. Its bizarre. He loves us : )

Well tomorrow is Easter! We colored Eggs with the boys this morning and Owens basket is ready for finding as well as the eggs that we hid. It seems a little funny to celebrate Easter with eggs and baskets but its a tradition Eric has celebrated for ever and we have decided to keep it going with our boys. Of course the true meaning of Easter (Jesus) will be shared with our boys as well.

He is Risen!

Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him..... He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Boys will be Boys!

Evan loves this toy!

My sweet friend Amanda at work gives the boys all their toys when her kids are done with them. The boys LOVE this toy...

Snow day!

No work for us today. I called in because we had drifts 4-6 feet tall and were unable to go anywhere. The roads were drifted shut so schools were closed. The boys and I all hung out and played all day. I also made a wipes case and burp cloth while they napped. I think they turned out pretty cute for the first attempt.

My boys!

I hope they always play this nice together :)
