Then and Now

Just wanted to add of few pictures of how the kids looked for their first Easters. Nolan wasn't as into his first Easter photo shoot as Taylor was.

Favorite Pictures

Here are some picture I love from the last few weeks. Left- Ry Guy the Fry Guy with Nolan. Ryan says his favorite thing to do in the entire world is make Nolan Laugh...I love you Ry. Center-Taylor starring in Geisha Girl is styling a dress Aunt Shell sent her from China. Right-Maddie and Taylor strategizing for the Easter egg hunt....Maddie you always have a trick up your sleeve you sweetie. Bottom-Jenna, my little Easter jelly bean.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter all! The kids have had a great weekend. 3 Easter egg hunts, egg coloring, lots to eat, and filled Easter baskets. When Taylor found her Easter basket she said, " I have been looking for this all night....the Easter bunny must have snuk in and hid it from me." Nolan was pretty stoaked about his football candy and water bottle. Candy of course was the fave. Oh, by the way if you need a good laugh attend a public Easter egg hunt for toddlers. The parents get crazy...no joke.

Women Built Home

I recently learned of a project through habitat for humanity that involves only women. They are in the initial stages of building a house by women for a deserving women with two children. This is a perfect way to volunteer and build some new skills...literally. I am signing up. Anyone interested??

P.S. This is a picture of our house in progress last fall. The lanscape has not changed much.

My Kids Love...

I asked the kids what I should write about today, and Nolan quickly responded with, my little blankie. His "little blankie (LB)," is like a second mother to him. If he gets hurt he doesn't need me any more because LB has got his back. Washing LB is a major unpleasant event in our house hold. Nolan with constantly look into the washer to check the status. Wonder how long LB will be in his life.

As for Taylor, she has a new obsession every week. Could be an unfortunate looking baby doll, rock, blanket, but this week it happens to be her pets. She loves Nemo and Bear, in fact they get buckled in the car with her and sleep next to her on their own pillow. Crazy kids....they are so cute!

Links

I have included a few links to visit, and hope to add more as I figure out how to navigate this website better.
I have been ordering from Entrees Made Easy for more than a year now, and have recently gotten a job there. I love it, and of course think everyone should order food from us. It is so nice not to worry about what we are having for dinner, and to not go to fast food because we have nothing planned. It has saved me a lot of time and money. I love it love it love it!
I also put the link to my 10 year reunion....yikes! It has been a decade since I graduated high school. I am really looking forward to seeing familiar faces, old teamates, and friends.
I included the I Love NY website because the initials of New York are near and dear to my heart. My brother, Nick Young, passed away 4 years ago leaving a huge hole in my heart. It makes me happy to see his initials on something whether its a coffee mug, shirt, or teddy bear. I miss him so much!!!

New Blogger

I am new to blogging, but love reading other peoples blogs. My hope is to stay better connected to friends and family in regards to updates on the kids. I have 3 year old daughter, Taylor, who is wise beyond her years. She is absolutely a beautiful light in my love. She is always looking out for others and making sure everyone is cared for. I love her to pieces.
Nolan is my boy! He is my little adventurer and my baby love. He says he is not a tall boy, not a big boy, but he is Momma's boy! I am so proud of him and understand him more than he will ever know. He is the little man of my heart.
