Ethan's - First Coyotes Game

A few weeks ago Ethan had a chance to go to his first Coyotes hockey game. We had a great time and even better after a random stranger came up and gave Ethan an autographed hockey puck. It was awesome to see Ethan's face light up so bright when this random man gave him this gift.

He came home and promptly made a place in his bedroom to display his hockey puck. It his going to be one of his many collectables to remind him of his younger years.

(Not sure what was up with the face he was making in this photo)

A couple of cuties

The boys sure do love going to Sam's Club because they get to have polish dogs and ice cream. They are sure a cheap date when we go there and they enjoy every bite of it so it is well worth it.

Watch Out!

We recently went to dinner at Dillon's with the family and the boys were almost eaten by a shark!! Don't they look so happy about it??

Valentine's Present

Jason bought me this beautiful necklace for Valentine's Day. I absolutely love it!! I will always have my two baby boy's close to my heart. They both love to look at the necklace and tell me which one is which and what birthstone is theirs. Not only do I get to enjoy the necklace but they do too. Thank you to my wonderful husband for such a thoughtful and loving gift. I love you!!

Happy February

All I have to say is....OH MY...it is February 2012 already!!!! One month gone already in 2012, exactly where has the time gone?

In just over a month and 12 days I will have a 5 year old living in my house!!! Now that I just refuse to believe. My first born baby going to school in August, wait what? Yeah, I know I can't understand it either. But he is definitely ready, excited, and willing to go to school.

That means when Ethan goes to school; my Brendan and I will be spending a lot of quality time together. I am sure that he is really going to miss Ethan being around. They love being together during the day and everything one does the other one has to do too. But I am looking forward to spending the time with Brendan. No more fighting for attention or special quality time with Mommy.

Hope everyone has a wonderful month! One month down and 11 more to go. :-)

"Mingos" as Brendan would call them

Watching these beautiful flamingos! They are so tall and such a bright beautiful color.

Professional Bull Riding

Found out that the PBR will be in Glendale, Arizona at Jobing.com Arena again for Ethan's birthday. Of course we are going to be getting tickets to see all of our favorite bull riders and bulls.

We are especially excited to see Asteroid (pictured here in post). He is a super strong, powerful, and high percentage of knock offs bull.

Ethan was hoping to see Bushwacker but he has been injured and out recovering from surgery.

I am sure we will have a great time again this year and I will post pictures after we go. If you have never been to a professional bull riding show I highly recommend it. Good times!

Janet Evanovich - One for the money

I don't know about you but I cant wait until opening day of this movie!
I don't go to movies very often anymore due to the cost of seeing a movie these days (and shall I talk about the price of popcorn and a drink) but I will definitely be visiting my local theater to see this movie. If you have not read Janet Evanovich's series with Stephanie Plum, Morelli, and Ranger I highly recommend them. They are an easy, quick, and funny read. I have read all 17 books so far and have loved every single one of them.

Let me just say this one more time....I can't wait until January 27th to see this movie!!!

Happy New Year * 2012

Our family has been busy since I have last posted. With that being said I am going to try to update this blog more often this year with all of the fun events and activities.

First and foremost Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone has had a wonderful start to 2012, it has been a good start for us.

Our biggest news is that we have moved. We absolutely love our new house! We can't believe how much we love having a single story house. I hate to say it but I don't think that I would ever want another two story house ever again. :-) Only down fall with this house is that we have a huge backyard that needs to be done. It is a complete canvas for us...which can be good but also a ton of work. We are still trying to figure out what we want to do with it.

Here is a picture of our new abode...Hope you see you in 2012! Come and visit us anytime. :-)

Promise to post more and get more updates to our family and friends back East.
