Family Time with Nonna and Papa

I had a long weekend off school so the kids and I headed up to my parents to visit. We had a great time going to Monkey Joe's (a giant gym type place with lots of inflatable slides and mazes). The kids jumped and played and Jack even did a great job helping Alex up when she couldn't make it herself. After Monkey Joes we fueled up with lunch at Portillos, which Jack loved because he got a chocolate shake! Then we spent the evening hanging out with Uncle Chris and Aunt Lindsay. It was a great weekend with family and the kids were wonderful little travelers.

Fancy Brownies

Made these amazing brownies and thought they looked so pretty!

New House!

Yeah! We just bought a new house. We had to go through a bit of a bidding war that just about made my stomach turn inside out. But it was worth it, even though we won't move in until June. It has lots of space and 4 bedrooms so our guests will no longer have to sleep on a blow up mattress in my living room:)

Birthday Party Fun!

In mid January we went to Elise's Birthday Party. It was a princess and prince party and the kids had a great time. Jack loved dressing up as Alex's night in shining armor, aww! Kelly way outdid herself with an amazing castle for the kids to play in along with the fun games and silly dance party. It was a great time for children and adults!

Last weekend we traveled up to Bloomington to see our friends. I got to go out on Friday night and visit with some girl friends. Then we went to Emily's (Jack friend) birthday party at the children's museum. The kids had a great time playing with their friends i had a good time catching up with the moms. We ended the trip with lunch at Noodles before we headed back to Shelbyville.
