Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 5th Anniversary! We celebrated a couple of weeks ago. The kids' wonderful Uncle Steve babysat for us so we could go out and have an early celebration. While we were out he took this video of the kids and sent it to us on our phones. It was so cute that I had to share it with you!

Easter

We had a great Easter last weekend.   When the kids woke up in the morning they immediately searched for their Easter baskets the Easter Bunny left in the house.  Johnny was very confused what they were looking for when Alexandra was searching for the baskets.   He was getting mad that they weren't watching their cartoons.  But when Alexandra found his basket and Johnny saw what was inside he got very excited!  Two minutes after finding their baskets they ran outside to look for Easter Eggs.  The rest of the day was spent with Nick's family as well as a couple of close friends and cousins over brunch and dinner.  Can hardly believe May is almost here!

DinoQuest

At the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa they are having a special dinosaur exhibit that we took the kids to this weekend.  Alexandra liked it but Johnny was scared. Although he roared in the car all the way to the zoo and was running with excitement to the dinosaur area, once he took a look at the first one he ran for me to pick him up and wouldn't let me put him down. Nick, the big kid that he is and the tourist that I am loved it!

Grandma's Visit

We just had a wonderful, long visit with my Mom. We did soooo much, the pool, the beach, Busch Gardens, the zoo, the Childrens' Museum, took the kids out to dinner, went out to dinner ourselves and even got to get in some quality time together shopping, eating and walking while the kids were at school a couple of mornings. We miss her and my Dad already! My Mom's trip down here was the end of my Dad's 7 week Florida stay.

Silly Days

My babies playing dress up! I don't think Johnny could get any cheesier in this last picture! He did this pose all on his own.....

Alexandra's 4th Birthday!

Alexandra turned 4 this past Friday!  She had three fun days of celebrating.  On Thursday she got to bring brownies to school to for her birthday. On Friday she got to go to Chuck E Cheese with Mommy, Baba and Johnny, choose her favorite dinner and open presents from us.  Then on Saturday she had a birthday party that all her friends got to come to.  She was soooooo excited to have her friends from school at her party.  Her two best girl friends at school are in the picture above. They are so cute together.   All the boys ran around and played while Alexandra opened her presents but these two cutie pies sat with Alexandra the entire time she opened her presents.    After three filled days Alexandra was beat last night, we've never seen her so tired!

I wanna be just like Grandpa!

As most people know my Dad does not like the Packers.  To harass my brother-in-law, Mackey, in particular my Dad made a Steeler sign out of paper and taped it to his shirt.  I took a picture of him with it on and he messaged it to Mackey.  He then kept this piece of paper taped to himself all day and throughout the entire football game.  Well, part way into the game Alexandra asked me for a piece of paper, a black marker and some tape.  She went and got to work with her supplies and came back with the piece of paper taped to her just like Grandpa!  It was too cute!!
