random stuff

I haven't had much time to blog recently so I guess my new thing is to wait for a long time and then post a whole bunch of stuff. This month has gone by so fast. We had so much going on and I recently started working part time and am still trying to get used to that. I don't even work that much but I'm always stressed out about it.






Jonas received a hand me down tractor from a friend who was moving away! We had to talk him into riding it at first but once he got the hang of it he loved it.



This picture was courtesy of Jonas. James and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. We went out to dinner and came home for ice cream cake.


Savvy chillin in her high chair. She's starting to eat baby food!




Our garden is actually growing! No thanks to me.
James and I also planted a magnolia tree in our back yard to somewhat block the view of the buildings going in right behind us. We love the beautiful magnolia trees they have here because of their big white blossoms.


Something I got used to in Michigan when we lived in student housing is getting together for BBQs. I love to see kids running around and playing together with popsicles in their hands. We recently hosted a BBQ with some friends and this is a picture of the cute kids with sticky popsicle hands.





You can't see it very well but our friend Heidi who gave us the tractor before they moved away also came and painted this cute tree on Savannah's wall. Thanks Heidi.I also had to take a picture of the kids in their cute new outfits from Grandma. Thanks Grandma!

Easter and Disney World



I don't know who was more excited for Disney world- me or Jonas. Okay it was me. Despite all the craziness of taking two little ones on a trip we had a great time and it was fun to experience Disney World. Our favorite rides were the finding Nemo ride and the toy story ride. Savannah just took everything in with a wide eyed expression for two days and by the third she had had enough. Jonas loved the rides and meeting Mickey but got tired of walking and just really really wanted to go swiming.

notes to self for future vacations:

1-don't begin vacation sleep deprived
2-don't let your three year old begin vacation sleep deprived
3- don't pay for expensive theme park tickets when your child prefers the hotel pool
