I have to really apologize for my lack of posting. The camera I am using is presenting me with a real dilemna because the picture size is way too large for blogging without changing it but if I change the size I cant print off the pictures cuz then they are too small so I am forced to choose between blogging or scrapbooking so I chose neither so yes I need to buy a new camera that will allow me ot do both. Anyways I guess an update with no pictures is better than no update at all. Hailee is doing great in school she is a very smart cookie however the common sense side is lacking some. She enjoys playing with her friends, reading, and being with her family. She is a pretty busy little girl she is involved in dance, girl scouts, wednesday night live, and soon she will be starting softball. I am hoping that she enoys it more than she did in the past and does more than play in the dirt. She had dance pictures on Tuesday and of ocurse she enjoyed posing for the camera. We (her and I ) are gonna be busy with cookie booths for girl scouts for the next couple weekends. She very much has spring fever and wants to forget that the weather has not been convinced that it is supposed to be spring. UNfortunately spring has NOT sprung yet.
Carter is such a neat and hilarious kid. He really enjoys everything about preschool. He thinks his teachers are very special and has a huge crush on one of them. He also says he has a "girfriend" her name is Emma. There are two Emma's in her class so he calls her Emma S. He came home from school one day and informed us that him and Emma formed a plan that when they get older they are gonna go on a date where they will drink wine and stay up late. Then when they get alot older they are gonna get married, have someone build them a house, and then they are gonna live in that house forever. I laughed so hard upon hearing this I almost cried. He had kindergarten roundup a couple weeks ago and met his teacher and some other classmates. He had the same teacher as Hailee did which is cool we all really liked her. Soccer starts soon which he is pretty excited about. He is one heck of a little athlete. He will alos start t-ball very soon and I have a feeling that he will be good at that too. He still really enjoys his cars and toys but he also REALLY likes girls.
Brooklyn is very much the baby. She has everyone wrapped around her little fingers. She talks amazingly well for a two year old. Its nice that she can tell us what she wants compared to just screaming at us. My dad likes sitting with all the kids and wathcing funny you tube videos and their favorite right now is the british video of the brothers "Charlie Bit Me" and they taught Brooklyn to say that so now she walks around saying Charlie bit Me and it is so cute. She is definately a two year old and is getting pretty onery. She refuses to start potty training. I think she would have no problems but she just doesnt want to. She grew up way too fast and it makes me sad but she is definately an answer to a prayer.
Jason just celebrated his 29th birthday yesterday. We went out to dinner and I made him a strawberry cake, his fave. I think he had a nice day. He joined a basketball leaue this winter with soem guys from work and he really enjoyed that and the comraderee (I dont know how to spell that). He will coach Carters soccer team agin. They both seem to really enjoy that.
I have been sick the past two weeks and it has been pretty rough. Jason even took a couple days off work to help which he NEVER does. I keep pretty busy with all my responsiblilities of the house, kids, Jason, and bills. I also have two girl scout troops which requires alot of my time and energy. Especially right now because its girl scout cookie time and its a huge pain in the booty. Other than that same stuff different day.

You'll have to forgive me because these are out of order. Hailee's school program was clear back in November and decorating the tree was in the beginning of Decewmber but I finally got the USB cable from my mom and dad for the other camera so now I can stay up to date.

decorating the tree

how sweeeeeet

Hailee's school program

Christmas Day

As I said we traveled to Grand Island in the evening on Friday. Saturday morning everyone was up bright and early. My mom made a breakfast casserole which was really good. Then we opened gifts. After that we all got dressed and headed to church. After church we pretty much lounged and relaxed until about 5 when we headed to my Grandpa's for my mom's side of the family's get together. When we got home we were all beat and went to bed fairly early. On Sunday my mom and I went shopping for most of the day. A good day in my book and so it was a nice and blessed Christmas weekend.

Some of the "tornado" damage

Hailee looking cute with a santa hat on. She was feeling better for the most part by Saturday.

this is the cheerleading doll that Hailee got Brooklyn. Brook loves it however oit is the most annoying doll EVER. It has buttons on it that you press and the doll says a cheer. Needless to say we are excited for when it runs out of batteries.

Carter getting a Batmobile. I alswo bought Carter one of these so I took mine back and gort him something different. I guess great minds think alike.

My dad opening up the gift that the grndkids "bought" him. It was a Huskler sweatshirt. My dad is a die hard Husker fan so he was pretty happy. The kiddos "bought" my mom a digital picture keychain so she can always carry pics of the kiddos with her wherever she goes. I ran out of space on my memory stick and that is why there is no pictures of her opening up gifts. I got my mom a new outfit. She was really thrilled and found it really special that we are close enough that would be able to do something so special and personal. I was glad she liked it. I did.

Carter was sooooooooo excited about this. My mom got him the batman castle he had been eyeing for a while. It is pretty cool an biy doesw he play with it ALOT. Good job Gramma.

Christmas Eve

We decided to try and start a new tradition this year and we really enjoyed it (minus Hailee cuz the poor thing had the flu). We woke up and lounged for a while and then about ten Jason and I started cooking a big breakfast. We had waffles, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. It was deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious. After breakfast we opened gifts. Which took all of about ten minutes. Then the kids (and Jason ) played with the new toys while I cleaned up and got ready to go to Grand Island to see Gramma and Papa. I had some errands to run and then we left about 3:30. Poor Hailee felt like crud all day. Hailee and Carter had completely opposite views of Christmas this year. While Carter was opening up gifts he said "this is the best Christmas ever," and Hailee said "this is the worst Christmas ever."
All in all we had a pretty nice day.

Hailee by her new stuff.

Carter smiling by some of his new loot

Carter loves clothes so I got him some new Toy Story shirts

DORA!!!!!!! Brook really like her right now.

Hailee really enjoys reading and so I bought her a box of the Magic Treehouse books (they are her favorite series right now).

cutie patutie Hailee

Carter was really excited about finding out what theis gift was because he kept hearing it. Every time it got move3d it started to make noise. Its a buzz lightyear care that you shake and it zooms across the floor. So not knowing what it was but hearing the noise it made heightened his curoisity.
You can kind of see the excitement on his face

Brook really liked opening the gifts this year

Brooklyn opening her first gift

This is Brooklyn's 2nd birthday cake. I made it and decorated it myself and I have to say I was pretty proud of the way it turned out. It was really tasty to boot. I guess this is the only picture I took. I know shame on me.

Kitchen remodel Part 1

these are all BEFORE pictures. I could have sworn that I uploaded the after pictures but I don't so I will have to edit this post later with all the after pics.

the difference between the rippede up floor and the smoothness of the underlayment

ripping up all the tile, there was like three levels of tile thta we ripped up. My hands were black and blue for like a week after this from hammering away with the crowbar.

and again

Just a picture of the floor and cabinets (BEFORE)

HIKE

During football season Jason taught Brook and Carter alot of things about football and one of them was "hike". It was so cute to watch them reenact it.
