Kindergarten Bound

I haven't posted on this blog for a long time. Tonight I attended a Kindergarten information meeting and got home and started to cry. It amazes me how fast Nolan has grown up. He is such a great kid and I can't imagine my life without him. I know he will do great in school and in life.

Family Birthday Party

This year for Nolan and Reagans birthday we decided to do a combined party for all the family. Reagan turned 2 and Nolan is turning 4! They are getting so big. We had such a great time with everyone and we decided the theme was M&Ms! Of course the kids LOVED that idea as they got to eat all the M&Ms they wanted. We also got 2 cupcakes shaped like M&Ms and I made M&M cake pops. It was a warm day so we had a waterslide, pool, and a jumpy house. The kids had a blast and I would have to say that I have never seen Nolan so excited to have a party!

Easter 2012

This year for Easter we were up at the lake house. We got to see Grandma and Grandpa Jury, Grandma and Papa Cesnovar, and a lot of other relatives and friends. Grandma and Papa Cesnovar had friends from Italy/Ireland in town and they were so fun and they even made us homemade pizza that was delicious!! We got to color eggs at the lakehouse, go on an Easter egg hunt with our cousins, and have a wonderful brunch at the club! It was a relaxing Easter with family and new friends!

Florida With Great Grandpa

This year we were lucky enough to travel to Florida to visit Great Grandpa at his condo. Grandma Cesnovar bought us all tickets and the kids got to ride on an airplane for the first time. The kids had a blast with Great Grandpa and Grandma Cesnovar playing instruments, swimming, and Nolan was able to take a nap with Great Grandpa everyday! They also got to visit the ocean for the first time and collect sea shells. It was a nice break away from the cold and into 80 and sunny! We also got to find out how curly Reagans hair will be when there is humidity!

2nd In State!

I haven't posted anything for awhile and that is because basketball this year was crazy! This year for the first time ever at Vernon Hills High School they went to state! They ended up winning 2nd in state and the kids and I got to travel to Bloomingon Illinois to watch Paul play at state. It was an amazing time with the whole family and we are so proud of Daddy!!

Snow Fun

When we had the first snow fall Paul was home early from school. It was great because the kids got to go outside and play in the snow with daddy while mommy stayed inside and took some pictures. Reagan had a lot of fun but the best part was Nolan wanted to build a snowman, snow angel, and throw snow balls! He was so excited to play in the snow and the kids had a wonderful time!

Christmas 2011

This Christmas was busier than ever but so fun! On Christmas Eve we went to Grandpa & Grandma Jury's house and for Christmas Day we went to Grandma & Papa Cesnovar's house. The kids got more gifts then they need but they had so much fun with all the famlies. We look forward to next year and all the family time!

Christmas Fun

The kids are very excited about Christmas, especially Nolan. He is super excited for Santa and it is so fun to see him getting ready. They both got to decorate a little tree that Grandma Cesnovar bought them. Reagan was loving it even though she was just throwing the ornaments on there. I can't wait to see their faces Christmas morning!

Mater and the Flower

Happy Halloween!! This year Nolan was Mater and Reagan was a flower. We had a great time trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood for the first time. There were tons of kids and we had a great time with all of them going from house to house. Reagan was nice and warm in her costume and Grandma Cesnovar came over to spend some time with the kids in their costumes, and they loved it!

Pumpkin Fun

Just like every year we got to pick pumpkins out of Papa's pumpkin patch. All the kids had so much fun running around and trying to move the pumpkins. It was fun family time and great to see everyone.
