Hello to all who still stop by and check in, hope you had a great Christmas. We all stayed home for the holidays so it was a big change this year. It was nice to wake up to the kids so excited to go downstairs to see what Santa left them. Our area did get snow (only a few inches) but we got snow during Christmas which was nice to see. Our weather is warmer back to 50's, it's so nice not dealing with ice and sleet......were so spoiled now. It was fun now Cassidy is older to see the joy of the Christmas season and watch presents being opened how happy the kids were. Also, just knowing how blessed we are as a family that we have all that we have. Hope all our friends and family feel the same.

Nic's first day of 1st grade.

Cassidy's first week of preschool they celebrated her birthday.

Cassidy picked out frosted sugar cookies for her birthday treat, she was so excited for this day. It's all about nutrition as you can see. Hi-C juice, sugar cookies, and of course Frito chips what more could a kid ask for.

Spending the day at the zoo with cousins......I miss Milwaukee's zoo!

Cassidy with auntie Carina.

On the train, Carina, Cassdiy, Nic and Travis.

This is my last post for the day, but now I wrote these all backwards. I ended up doing a total of I think 3 posts tonight so I could catch up. Not even sure if anyone is looking at these any more especially that it's been awhile. Well hopefully I will be back on track.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

From left to right: Travis (Carina's son), Cassidy with my sister Carla, dad in the back, my other sister Carina, her other son Brant, and last but not least my boy Nic.

Celebrating Cassidy's birthday with my family here. It's always fun when you can catch there blow face. Happy 3rd Birthday Cass!

Cassidy was making a very special grass pie for her auntie Carina.

I just wanted to get my Wisconsin trip pictures done so I figured I would add a few more posts.

Cassidy sitting by the fire or should I say far away from the fire with her pet.

Nic enjoying the camp fires that Nonno made, especially when Smore fixings were around.

Cassidy reading her birhtday card, we celebrated at Jack's parents house with his family.

Nic and Uncle Frank.....that's Nic's idol, he knows every super hero and movie that any kid would want to know or see.

Cassidy and her aunt Mary (Mimi), I love this picture, you can see the love.

Your going to have to look down a little farther since I posted a couple on the same day so this will be my second post tonight. I thought I might as well try to catch up for lost time. Another thing I can cross off on my to do list!

Nic and his grandpa (Nonno)

It was peach picking day and the kids had so much fun Cassidy's with her aunt mimi and grandma (Nonna).

My little mexican, he worked for food that day. I bet all you up North wish it was that warm today.

Last but not least, my dad's new ride. Nic thought it was a go cart, thought he was so cool that grandpa let him drive . I wasn't sure who was going to fall off first Cassidy or my dad, Nic went over hills, grass, turned way to sharp corners.......I just didn't look. In the end everyone was safe and had a great time riding, "The Little Rascal".

I just looked at my last entry date and it was in b, I guess I fell a little behind. Well the main thing is that I came back right. So I have to go by where I left off and that was in Wisconsin this

last August so the pictures are a few months old but there was some really cute ones that I wanted to share. Let's all keep our fingers crossed on me updating this a little more than once a month.

These are some of the pics from when we went to Wisconsin about a month ago now. I have some more to post but only could do a few at a time. It was nice to go back to the ice land when it was summer for a change so we could actually enjoy the outside. Our stay went fast and already miss everyone....now just waiting to see who comes to visit us.
