Days of Our Lives

I am getting terrible at trying to keep up our Blog!  I have so much to say, but I could go on for hours! 

We had a great trip to Wisconsin.  The car ride there wasn't too bad, the 1st week was wonderful and the boys really did outstanding! 

Our family did so much to make all of us comfortable and enjoy our trip.  We stayed at Uncle Mikey's and loved it!  He has a beautiful log cabin on property that backs up to some family land.  We had fun going on the four-wheeler and just sitting outside on the porch.

We had a pool party with a ton of family and amazing yummy food and a luncheon put on for the boys by Cindy's sister, Julie and all of their friends.

They did a lot, met a lot of people, skipped naps, took extra naps and all sorts of "off our normal routine" stuff, but they did amazing and it was so good for them and us.


The following week Jason went to Canada with family and close friends (a yearly event that they all try to keep up), while Cindy and I held down the fort in Milwaukee with the boys.  The boys got to meet their cousins for the very first time and it was awesome!  My sister, Shanna has two little girls so we all got together and went to the Childrens Museum in Milwaukee.  It was the highlight of my trip and way overdue.

All in all we had a nice trip, but by the 2nd week the boys were tired, they got sick, the lack of naps caught up with them and then I, mommy got a bit stressed.
.
When you put everything together that the boys experienced, even what Jason and I experienced for coming out of "our little world we live in", and add being out of their comfort zone, only being 17 months at the time; it's really amazing how well they did.

I will leave the trip on that note, because the ride home to TN was not magical.  I would rather not re-live those 12 hours...ever...ever...again.  Trust me, no-one would!

Since being home, our lives continue as normal.  We are busy, the boys are doing great, Jason is good, I am good and my business is doing great!

I can't get over the changes the boys have made.  They are so quickly growing into little men.  I wish I could record their every second.  They have more words to their vocabulary.  The other day Asher all of a sudden said, "baby" like he was 3 years old.  Skyler has become quite the sweetheart.  He loves hugs and kisses and LOVES to give them.   Ryder too seems to be changing into this comedian.  He is quite funny and oh man is he wild!

I am trying to keep this short and sweet so I will leave you with some pictures below...too many pictures, but I can't help myself!   We  Love you all and thank you to all the family in Wisconsin that did so much for us.
Peace...
