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.

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 :)
