Working Hard for the Money....

Or in this case... for free!  But it was a job well done.  Kyle, Ken and Mike with the help of Val on the ground, put new shingles on the back part of the house.  They did a great job and Ken was so dedicated, he stayed overnight to finish the job.  He had to sleep in an empty house on an air matress...boy... he must really want us to sell it
 (so we move out of his house! :)

Astronaut Ava!

Ava's class was studying outer space last week and today she brought home her space suit!

Spring Break 2012

Wow!  Spring Break is almost over and as usual it went WAY too fast!  I think because of the BEAUTIFUL weather I almost forgot that I would eventually have to go back to school.... it almost felt like summer vacation!  We had a very busy and productive spring break... here are the highlights!

Went to 2 St. Patricks Day parades
Ava had 2 weeks worth of tumbling and dance
Spent 1 day packing and 1 day loading/unloading the moving truck in Monroe
Had a playdate at the park with Joah and Toni
Had a cookout at the Brunton's house with The Andersons, Cheri Wesenberg, The Butlers, and all the kids
Saw 3 possible houses in Waupun
Went to the park with Grandma Bille
Went to the Fond du Lac Childrens Museum
Took Ava to school to get a class picture
Ryan and Kyle spent the morning in Appleton having a Father/Son day
Went to the Milwaukee Zoo
Had a Picnic
Went Car Shopping with Papa
Cleaned and Organized Kids Clothes for Spring/Summer
I actually read 3 non-kid, non-school related books on my new (at Christmas) Kindle Fire
Played Hi-Ho Cherryo with Ryan and put together 2 puzzles
Mom and Ryan made Banana Bread
Ava played school with Grandma Sheridan
Played Zingo with Ava and Ryan
Went to Monroe to shingle part of the house!
And had more playdates with Joah and the triplets!!!
No wonder we are exhusted!  But it feels good to spend time as a family... and get things done!

Ava and The Bus!

BEST DAY EVER!

Ryan had an awesome morning spent with dad in Appleton!  He got a new Brewer hat, his very first trip to Build-A-Bear and a cookie!  It is great to be a 2 year old!

Moving Phase#1

Well....moving day is finally here... although we were just moving it to a storage unit in Waupun until we find a house.  We had lots of helpers...Ava and Ryan liked all of the excitement!  Uncle Joe, Papa and Nick Wellman helped Kyle on Sunday and Grandpa Bille, Lucas, Papa and Kyle finished the job in Waupun on Monday!
The Truck Before....


 Ava and Ryan were keeping themselves busy.....
by using the water hose to spray each other!
Outfit change #2 for the day before 9am... wonderful!
 Ryan saw his old high chair getting carried out to the truck.  He all of a sudden became hungry, but insisted that he eat in his old chair.  So we pulled it back out of the truck and Ryan got to eat lunch right in the driveway!  I can only imagine what the neighbors were thinking!  At least it kept him out of trouble!

 The Movers!
 The Truck After...
 The Van On It's Way To Waupun....
 Can you find Ava and Ryan?
 The Whole Group After A Long 2 Days...
 Now... To do it all over again once we find a house!

Our Little Guy!

Photo Shoot with Mom!

Mom has been in withdrawal because her camera charger was missing.... and she couldn't take any pictures except with her phone (hence the poor quality in previous posts) Luckily she found it right before the move and in time to take a few early spring pictures with the kids.  Who would guess we would have 80 degree days in mid March!  We love it!
  
 

Dancing (and Tumbling) Queen!

Mom finally found her camera charger so we are back in business... and just in time for Ava's First Dance and Tumbling class in Hartford.  Look at our little poser!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ryan, Great Grandpa Stephans, Grandpa Sheridan and Mom went to the famous St. Patrick's Day Parade in Erin.  We had a great time!  (Kyle took Ava to her first tumbling and dance class)  Later Ryan, Ava, Mom and Dad drove down to Monroe and made it just in time to see their St. Patrick's Day parade.  Two parades in one day! Talk about luck!

Taking the car for a spin! Ryan is getting the hang of it! (Kind of!)

Well... for the most part...
He did end up driving on the grass and almost hit Ava...
but at least he can touch the pedals! 
 





Taking the convertible out for a spin on a very summer like day!

Ava got the game Pretty, Pretty Princess for Christmas! 
 I dont know if Ryan is so enthused about that...especially because Ava made Ryan play with her!!! :) 
 I think he actually won this time! 
Kyle is so proud!

Green Eggs and Ham!

Mom made Green Eggs and Ham for her class and we got a little taste! 
 We love it! 
 Hopefully her class will enjoy it tomorrow too! 
If not... I think I know who will eat the leftovers!
