We've reached a decision...

We've decided to post some various pictures from the last 2 months to get caught back up on the blog. Michelle was so sick in the early stages of her pregnancy that she just couldn't post very often, but now she is feeling a "little" bit better. After a bunch of random pictures, we'll get started again with our usual posts! :)

Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Holman Anniversary party

We all gathered at the lake to celebrate Don and Liz's wedding Anniversary. Just about everyone was there. Sam and Alden had a great time playing with Shalye, aaron and nick. The ran a muck out side and had a great time.

Omaha Children's Museum

In March we went to the Omaha Children's Museum with my friend Mandy & her 2 boys - Cody (5 years old) and Caden (3 years old). My kids had never been to the children's museum before, so the boys showed them around. Samantha & Alden both loved "shopping" in the market and Alden loved getting wet in the water table and had a hard time leaving it when we need to move on. He got SOAKED!! You can tell from the pictures of the "Ball" room because his shirt is still wet. Alden was in heaven with all the balls and Samantha had a good time too. Upstairs, there was an exhibit on speed, so the kids operated some cars and raced them. It was good time! I'm sure we'll go back really soon! :)

Random Pictures to fill in the gaps...

St. Pat's Day

Michelle is back!! I'm feeling much better today...so I thought I'd add to the blog and "attempt" to get it caught up.The kids didn't feel very good on St. Patrick's Day this year. Samantha had a high fever and Alden just laid around all day. Sam's fever eventually turned into Roseola - a rash after 4-5 days of fever. NOT FUN!! My mom came up and watched the kiddos that night while Doug & I went to the Ben Folds Concert in Omaha. Debra & Greg got us tickets for Doug's bday and it was a blast! Debra and a bunch of her friends went with us. We all had a great time, except for the fact that I stood the whole night on concrete floor and I paid for it every day for the next week with a very bad back.

Uncle Chris's 20th Birthday

Michelle is back at the blog - for today.....We met my parents & my brother at Cheeseburger in Paradise to celebrate Chris's 2oth birthday. The kids had a good time going from one grandparent to the other and to Uncle Chris. Alden ate most of Nebraska City Grandma's salad...which was suprising to all of us. The boy loves Salad!! :) Everyone got desert at the end and Alden shared a little of Nebraska City Grandpa's banana stuff.

Days between

I know I used that title before but they are really just random pictures.  Debbie stoped by one day.  We used some christmas gift cards at build a bear.  then the kids being kids.  

Day at the zoo

There was a nice sunny day in early march so michelle took the kids to the Zoo. Not the most cooperitve smiles on this day but fun was had by all

Days between

Michelle has not been feeling all that well lately and that is why the blog has gone down hill.  So I, Doug, have stepped back up to the blogging.    Not much has happened between Valentines day and St. Pats.  but here are a few random photos.   Alden had a check up at Dr. Tom's. and one night a new box of diapers entertained them for

 hours.  By Alden in the box and Samatha jumping off the 

pack of diapers!

Valentine's Fun

Samantha went to a Valentine's Day party on the Thursday before Valentine's Day. My MOPS group organized at the library and we had lunch and games and story time and exchanged Valentines. Samantha had a lot of fun. Alden just ran around wild. It was fun to see her play with the other kids.

On Valentine's Day, it was a snowy mess outside, so we spent the day inside. The kids opened their presents and they got the Madagascar 2 DVD and some balloons and stuffed animals and Alden got a few balls.
