TGIF

TGIF! We have no big plans this weekend. Connor has t-ball practice tomorrow morning and Kassi has her first soccer game. Of course the times conflict so I will be taking Kassi to her game and Dave will be w/Connor. Dave's coaching t-ball this year w/my brother-in-law. Both my nephews, Justin and Tyler, are on the team as well. They should have lots of fun! Hopefully, it doesn't rain or it's not too cold!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Spring!

Hello! I know it's been a while since my last post. We are keeping busy w/swimming lessons, soccer and soon to come t-ball. And the big countdown until Disney! Only 21 more days! The kids are very excited! (ok, I'm probably the most excited) I can almost see it now, walking down main street and seeing the castle for the first time! I get goose bumps just thinking about it! Oh, and I can't wait until the parade and the fire works! That's my favorite! This picture was back in July of 2005. This was their first time meeting Mickey. They both are in shock! My sister and her family are going w/us. We reserved a 5 bdrm house w/a private pool. My nephews have never been to disney yet so we should have lots of fun!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Easter Memories!

It's been a whole week since my last post. It's been a long week too! Connor was home sick from Monday - Thursday. He had a fever, earache and strep throat!

Today I did some much needed shopping. I got the kids their Easter outfits and some Easter gifts. I'm going to try to have the kids sit on the Easter Bunny's lap sometime this week. This first picture is Connor's first Easter! I loved that hat on him. You can't tell but Kassi's dress matches his sweater vest. Every year I try to match them but I swear it gets harder as they get older. This year they will be wearing Yellow!! The second picture is Kassi's first Easter. If you look closely you can see her crying but if you look even closer you can see she is holding a golf ball. She loved golf balls. She would carry them around all the time! We thought maybe she would be a pro golfer when she got older! lol....

Have a wonderful weekend~

TGIF! Not too much to report. Same old, same old..... School, homework, some play time and then bed time ( oh and mom watching a bunch of reality TV- you name the reality show I'm sure I've watched it. I can't help it -they suck me in!!!)

Spring is just around the corner which means I'll be driving around after school to all the practices... Soccer, t-ball and gymnastics. I'm not complaining at all. I love to go and watch especially games on Saturday mornings! (unless it's cold then I will complain some!)

Connor loves to get together with the neighbors. We have about six families who love to hang out w/on the weekends. It's usually the adults in the kitchen drinking and eating while the kids run around and act crazy. (Kassi love it too) But yesterday morning Connor said "We should have a party on Saturday" I asked what are we going to celebrate and he said "Well, I've been thinking that since they didn't have cell phones in the 1800's we should celebrate because we have cell phones now"

So if we have the neighbors up for some food and drinks I guess they need to bring their cell phones too! Kassi and I think he's a little nuts! But Kassi thought it was a good idea too since she would love to hang out w/some friends!

Have a wonderful weekend!

This first one is the before and the second & third is the after!

Dave did a wonderful job! I love my kitchen!

We have a pretty low key weekend. The only thing we have planned is a family "baby shower" to attend tonight at one of our neighbors! It should be a fun time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This week there has been allot of talk about dying. My childhood neighbor has lost her husband at the early age of 44. He died early Saturday morning . The autopsy results are not in yet but they are pretty sure he had a heart attack. His wife did try to revive him and the paramedics but he was already gone. He has two daughters the oldest one 4 and the youngest only 18 months. It really makes you think about life. I can't even imagine the pain this family is going through and the rough road that lays before them. May God watch over them and grant them strength!

On to a lighter subject. Connor got his star wars action figures yesterday. I picked him up from the bus stop and we headed to Toys R Us. He wanted everything! Kassi also picked up a hot pink chair for her room. She could have easily bought the whole store! I always dread going into a toy store. They could spend hours in there and spend a ton of money. If you could only see our play room - you can't even walk in there! (I guess most of you have)

Anyways, Dave is done w/putting down the wood floors. (the hall, dining room, living room and the play room) Now all we need to do is pick an area rug for the dining room and paint living room, dining room and play room. Our construction is almost over.. The kitchen is complete! It looks really good. Dave did an awesome job! I should post before and after pictures. Maybe in the near future!

Have a good day!

Not too much to report here at The Stiles House. Kassi is fully recovered from the flu. She was sick all last week w/ a fever. Hopefully, no one else gets sick! Connor's new thing is Star Wars! Yesterday, before school he told me to buy a Star Wars action figure . I did go to Walmart and looked but they only had these really tiny storm fighter guys. So I didn't buy any - well when he got off the bus he couldn't wait to see what I bought for him. "Mama, I can't wait to see my surprise!" When I told him I didn't get him anything his little face scrunched up and he started to cry..... So I guess today I'll be searching for Star Wars figures! Not too much new w/Andy. He goes to school and then to work or he hangs out w/his friends.

The Countdown to Disney has began! Only 57 more days! We can't wait! Kassi will be celebrating her 8th birthday in Disney! I already made reservations for a character dinner to celebrate her birthday! We did that when Connor turned three and it was a really fun time! This time my sister and her family will be going w/us.

Have a wonderful day!
