Merry Christmas #1!

What a super fun Merry Christmas Sunday! Memere & Papa King came down and Ma Taunte Andrea & Seth. We had a delicious lunch, and lots of present opening. Jeremiah enjoys all the paper around. The big guys were excited about all their fun gifts. Spider Mans & legos and lots of fun stuff. The boys all put on their new Christmas jammies before bed to watch a Christmas show "the Christmas Star" with Ma Taunte Andrea.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Teeth & Trains!

Jeremiah has 4 teeth out and one super close, so he's ready for some steak. :)

We got to see the cool train set up at our local liquor store. Adley enjoyed saying "lick her" as we went there...thankfully no one got licked in the process. :) It's a 30ft by 8ft set up where the kids stand on the cases of beer to see the 3 tracks set up, and the whole town all set up for Christmas for the trains to go through and around. There is a button for each track to press, the kids loved to make them all go. There were lots of kids watching. very fun!

Again it was on mom's list to bring the camera, but these days shes lucky enough to bring what we NEED. :)

Love,
The guys!

Party Guys!

Boy do we love to party, and we're already up to our 3rd Christmas party.

Our first one was last Friday with our Homeschool Co-Op group. We had a fun time of singing carols, a yummy lunch, the buffet had a fabulous dessert selection...one of our favorite things about Christmas parties. Then we did the craft project and made a couple ornaments, and then had activity time in the gym. We LOVED it. Nathanaels favorite part, with out even thinking about it, was that he learned the game Sharks and Minnows. Fun time with our home school friends.

Then yesterday Dad's work had a Christmas party for the kids. We made lots of Christmas crafts, we decorated/ate a lot of frosting for our gingerbread man, there was a beanbag toss game we spent a lot of time at, and Nathanael got his face painted...he got a snowman. Santa was there too, but we for sure didn't want to go sit on his lap. So we kept to the activities. We got a treat bag after....we LOVE treats.

Then Tuesday evening we had our AWANA party. Nathanaels' Cubbies had a pajama party. Adley's Sparkies had options, crafts, gym time or a movie. And they do an AWANA store. Adley earns '$' for going to AWANA and doing his workbook, and memorizing Bible verses. He's doing great at it, and loves earning jewels in his pin badge on his vest. Nathanael has 3 patches in his vest. It's a super time. Adley enjoyed the store to buy whatever he wanted, and watched the Christmas movie....although we don't know what it was, but there was a dog that ate a lot of donuts and he became invisible.....not sure how good this description is...I'm sure none of you know this movie...or if the description is really reliable. :)

Well we'll keep you posted on all our Christmas fun...and there's been a lot of it!

Tree Decorating!!

It's beginning to feel a bit like Christmas!! We enjoyed a 60 degree day outside, and it's December. At least we've got our beautiful tree all decked out for Christmas.

I'm 8 months!

And we got our tree today, and I'm going to learn to crawl because I'm trying hard to figure it out and this tree is BIG and Beautiful and I want to get it!!! First 10 minutes the tree was up I found a way to scoot underneath it, but the branches were getting me, so I let mom know I didn't like it and she saved me. But I'll be trying again and again.

The brothers have a little tree set up in their room as well, and we've got our stockings hung by the mantle. Adley took them all down on Friday and ran past mom who was changing my diaper. She asked him what he was doing, he said "I took them". She asked "Why did you do that?" He answered "I'm the Grinch!". Yah, Mom liked that one, I think you will too.

I can't wait for some cookie making...when's that going to happen?

Oh well good things come to those who wait!

Love,

Jeremiah

Scrub a Dub Dub!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful weekend. Aunt Bee & Uncle Ben and Ethan & Grandma & Grandpa came and spend the night Wednesday night. Then the fun on Thanksgiving when our other 2 uncles and their families came. We were 16 at our place...and it was so fun!!! Then cousin Ethan and his mom & dad spent the night one more night.

We are thankful for each other!!! And for lots of things!

Love you all,

Trick or Treat!

And tonight we trick or treated!! And boy do we have full bags of candy. This is the aftermath while we watch a Halloween show and eat our candy!! Jeremiah was eyeing our candy so mom gave him stars...so we were all munching on the couch.

Dad's photo is cool. :) There are a few more cool ones in our last months album.

Jeremiah was Tom Brady today, Nathanael Spider Man & Adley an X-men - Wolverine.

YUM!!

The guys!

What a CRAZY week we've had!!

WOW, is all we can say. Here's how it all went down.

We carved our pumpkins Saturday night, (Dad has cooler photo's so you'll have to wait for those.) We had a big fancy supper and were excited for snow the next day. However at 9:30pm we lost power....and lots of big branches fell due to the heavy snow that did fall. Mom and Dad were up playing skip-bo but had to stop many times to go investigate huge tree falling sounds. The next day, still no power but maybe it's fun the first day. Monday- Halloween- Dad goes to work, we're chilly because the fireplace smokes like crazy so we've only been running it at night before bed. So we go to the mall to go Trick-or-treating. And it was PACKED. With lots of people not even trick or treating but to stay warm. The trick or treating was totally crazy as well because of all the people. But we did it. Back home for supper. We grilled lots of supper, and were glad for Dad's camp stove to warm us up some hot cocoa and soup and stuff. We tried a fire that night. Then Tuesday, still no power, and chilly so mom took us to Dunkin donuts for a nice warm donut breakfast, and coffee for mom. And that was packed as well, but praise the Lord when we pulled in a parking spot cleared up. There was one super small table free for us to sit at. We had our breakfast and mom brought coloring books, so we enjoyed a little more Dunkin ambiance. Once home mom had us both take super long hot showers...we were almost raisins. Then mom talked to a girlfriend about getting a fire really hot, to heat up the bricks so it won't smoke as much. So she did, and boy did she smoke us out. It was a crazy 4 hours of smoke, until she realized that the flue is more to the back, so she pushed the fire to the back and low and behold, our fireplace is not smoky, and we had that thing cranking all day. We didn't move from the carpet in front of the fireplace. We colored there, had snacks there, read books there, played with Jeremiah there. When Dad got home he could smell the smoke for sure, but was glad for the warmth. And for a warm treat we had Chinese take out for dinner. Over night the temp dropped to 51.5 in the house...we slept in sleeping bags, hats and our blankets. Jeremiah was a blanket bundle as well. Wednesday we cranked the fire all day. We got the temp in the hallway to 57 degrees. SWEET. We watched the power guys cut down the tree on the power lines...but still no power for us. When Dad got home he said there was power all down the street..until close to our place it all went dark. So we got a little excited for nothing. One more chilly night back down to 51.5 in the morning. Thursday morning...still no power. We had a nice fire for our breakfast (which has really been mom's supply of frozen breads that thawed, banana bread & chocolate zucchini bread.) We decided to get out of the house and went to the park. Jeremiah got to swing for the first time. We was not so excited at the other boys..a little more concerned. He also had big brothers pushing him some...but mom kept them gentle. Everyone who was at the park left so we called a friend and went over to their house. They also didn't have power but had a generator. After playing for a while home again. Once home..still no power. We've got a fire cranking, candles burning. Mom's figuring we're in for another night without power, and then at 5:20pm THE LIGHTS TURN ON!! MOM is pumped!! and so are we. We got to watch TV, and mom gets to clean....I don't know why she's so excited...she's been doing mountains of laundry, vacuuming and lots of not fun stuff. :) But we are SO excited to be with power!! So the event today is to go grocery shopping when Jermemiah wakes up so we have something good to eat...it's getting to be slim pickin's int he Philips household. :)

But we survived!!!

Love the 3 guys!

First Snow!!!

We were SO excited today for snow on the ground, we wanted to make snowballs & snowmen, however this is a crispy snow....it wasn't working. Tomorow is 'to be continued' as we might get 4 inches. We're hoping it's snowmanable.

Can't believe we're posting about snow and we've not even had Halloween!!

Love,

The guys

Happy Halloween!!

We decorated the house for Halloween today. (See the spooky windows??) And if you can see it's dark and rainy outside. Well it was raining in buckets this afternoon, and we noticed that the street was flooding, so we went out to check it out. We've got some sweet photo's of our recycle bucket floating down the street, of us and our neighbors splashing around. When we went outside it was still pouring, but it stopped and we could really enjoy it! Turns out there was a lot of pine needles blocking the drainage. So the neighbors brought out their shovel to scoop it up. then the fun was over, but it was dinner time anyway.

Fun fun at Ansie Swamp!!

Hike Wachusett Mountain!!

We did a BIG 2 mile hike up Wachusett Mountian (Ski mountain north of Worcester.) Dad was our photographer, we should have gotten someone to take a photo of all of us. The leaves are starting to change, the weather was beautiful. It was a fabulous day. We had some tired legs, (well not counting Jeremiah), so we went to Friendly's after our hike, and we did a great job eating our dinner and ice cream dessert. We'll all sleep well tonight!!

Love the guys!!

Apple Picking!!

We had a fun day at the farm, picking apples, checking out the HUGE field of pumpkins, doing the hay maze and feeding the goats. Fun Fun!!

Fun stats: I weigh 7 oz more than Nathanael at his 9 month appointment, and I'm 3/4 of an inch longer than Adley at his 9 month appointment. (they beat me at the other measurements at 9 months....remember Adley was chubby and Nathanael was taller... :) I'm both....I win!!

Jeremiah 6 months today!

Here's just a cool video!

Jeremiah is 6 months today, had some puffs for the first time, Nathanael fed him for the first time.

Having a relaxing rainy Saturday! Then we had plans to go to see our friends, so Adley offered to feed Jeremiah lunch while mom did the dishes to get the show on the road...well mom decided she needed to video...so much for that. so mom left the dishes for later. :)

Will post Jeremiah's stats after his Pediatrician appointment on Monday,

Love,

Jeremiah

I'm Cute!

And I rolled over for the first time on Tuesday, from back to front. I LOVE to eat my rice cereal & oat cereal. My favorite foods are banana's, pears, applesauce and sweet potatoes....did you guess, I have a sweet tooth. I am comfortably wearing 12 month clothes. My brothers love me bunches and I get LOTS of kisses, and rough jiggles and they love to put blankets on my face. I smile tons when I see them.

Well that's my mini update,

Love,

Jeremiah

Grandpies & Nana

Went to Grandpie's & Nana's last weekend and had a blast!! Great Grandmie is holding Jeremiah in the back ground, and Nathanael is gonna get it... :)

We got to Grandpie's Friday night, and Saturday we went for a bike ride, spent lots of time jumping on the trampline. There were a few blueberries still to pick, and some black berries. We had a great time. We always LOVE to visit.

Love,

First day of 'multi-sport'

Today we played Soccer at our multi-sport thing mom signed us up for. We had a blast, and we're on the same team. Each week for 6 weeks we get to play a sport. Next week is Tee-ball. Can't wait.

Love,

The guys

Jeremiah watched on the sidelines but wants to play soon.

Camping is SO much fun!!

We went camping at Grandma & Grandpa's house this weekend and had a blast. (pics) We were originally going to go camping at a state park, but since Irene came the parks were closed as people tried to clean up CT. Grandma only got power Friday afternoon (which was nice once we got there, made for an easier camping trip. :) )

We tented for 2 nights. We had campfires & smores & LOTS of popcicles - these might be grandpa's favorite food. We had a blast with all our cousins. There were bike rides, walks to the the state park for some river and pond fun, we went to the 'brook' behind Grandma & grandpa's and discovered their oasis. We even managed a family trip/caravan to Grandma's church. How we pulled that one off is pretty SWEET, 3 carloads of us showered/dressed and out the house by 9:30 - we even got to the church in time for donuts...YUM!!

What a blast!!

Happy Labor Day weekend!!

Love,

The guys!

First day of School!

Home school that is. A fun first day! So far so good! Adley's in Kindergarden and Nathanael is doing 'some of Kindergarden' or pre-school really. Mom was going to start School Sept 1st, but Adley kept asking to start sooner, so we started today.

We started AWANA last night, it meets once a week, and Adley is a Sparks and Nathanael is a Cubbie. We get cool vests, Dad took a photo we'll have to get it up here soon.

Love the 2 big guys!

Adley & Nathanael

Last Update

The big rain ended about noon-time. The water in the road drained quickly once the rain slowed down. We never lost power. All and all a good storm. :) And our first hurricane - well tropical storm officially.

Love,

The 3 guys!

UPDATE

So it's been raining a ton. This morning water started coming in our front door so we had to put the storm window in. Dad even did the rest of the windows because the ones in the front of the house were dripping a little.

Dad had parked his car on the road away from the pine trees, except the road is filling up with water, so he went out to move it into the driveway. The water is deeper than his shorts.....he went to check the drain....it's not blocked...crazy!!

No ones driving down Ansie Rd today!

More updates later!

Love,

The 3 boys news reporters

(Our wind measure is a bust, the trees are dancing but our measurer is doing nothing. Oh well.)

Hurricane Irene

OK I think we're ready. Dad had us pick up all our toys in the back yard, and everything is stuffed onto the back porch.

We're going to track the wind too. We tied a yarn to the front railing tied to a bubble wand...(one of the heavier models), and we're going to track to see how many 'rungs strong' the wind is tomorrow. As it should be coming straight at the house. We'll have to calibrate our wind 'measurer' by what the officials actually track with their fancy equipment.

(yah, mom was a science nerd, and so we're doomed to be too. :) )

We'll keep you updated if there's anything good to report.

We're due for heavy rain/wind tomorrow afternoon.

So far: cloudy and light rain and 0 wind.

The 3 guys

FUN STUFF

So we've been busy. We went up to Memere's for a fun sleepover this week. And we visited a Granite Quary. It was very cool, we even made our own granite engraving using a diamond dust gun...very cool. The Quary was very amazing as well. Did you know that a cubic foot of granite weighs 160lbs. It's tough stuff!!

Then back home we went to the EcoTarium this Friday with cousin Jayden & Owen and Grandma. It was a free day to the museum and was pretty packed. Nathanael liked the train ride around the park the best, and Adley enjoyed the hammer head shark photo section. But they really liked a ton of it. Very fun day. A few photo's as well.

Well time to chill this weekend and with a hurricane approaching on Sunday!!!

Could be crazy!!

Love you,

Adley, Nathanael & Jeremiah

Friday night Dad, Nathanael and I camped out in the backyard!! We LOVED it and can't wait to camp again.

On Saturday we had Grandma & Grandpa & cousin Jayden & Owen over for fun. And Ma Taunte Andrea & Seth stopped by too. It was great to play with everyone. We had a blast in the pool and with the sprinkle planet. We love to splash and get wet.

On Sunday we had a low key day at the house enjoying all the new toys, and mom made a car cake that was trying to be Bumble Bee's car....it was fun at least. :)

July So Far!!

Wow have we been busy but it's been so much fun. Now to update you all on the fun we've been having. Here are some pics to go along with some of it...but we've been a bit slack in this department too. :)

For the 4th of July we had 2 fun BBQ's..very yummy and fun. Ma Taunte Andrea has move back to New England. YEAH!!, check out the photo of her in her new car... Last week we had our Son Surf VBS camp. It was so fun. Adley was in the Seahorse group and Nathanael was in the crabs group. We're still singing the songs and doing the motions in the car. So fun. It was crazy hot last week, so we went to our friends pools to stay cool. We LOVE to swim. Adley is working on his doggie paddle, and Nathanael jumps right in the pool, face underwater multiple times and LOVES it, he doesn't come up coughing at all. Crazy man.

We're relaxing this week, but we'll be gearing up for Adley's 5th birthday for next month.

Fun Stuff!!

Love you guys!!!

Going to Memere's and Papa Kings

And we've been looking forward to this trip for WEEKS, well 2 at least. And here is the link to all our may/june photos....lots of new ones. We went up Friday late afternoon. On Saturday we went to the BIG family BBQ and stopped to see Great Pepere & Memere on the way. At the BBQ there was a SWEET bounce house that we spend most of the evening there, unless we were eating the yummy food!! On Sunday we enjoyed time in the pool. On Monday we took a cool hike. On Tuesday we checked out a cool pond and spent more time in the pool. On Wednesday, there was time in the pool. Can you tell there was one spot we'd been looking forward to the most. The weather was a tad cool for the pool, but we're hard core. :)

Thanks for a SWEET time Memere & Papa King!!

Love you,

The 3 guys!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

FUN DAY!

Boy did we have some fabulous weather this Saturday, after a week of rain.

We did soccer in the morning, and biked and played outside all day. We love lunch on the blanket in the back yard. Took a walk to the pond, grilled our dinner and cooked some delicious marshmallows.

Super Fun Day!!

Love,

The 3 guys!!

The 3 Boys!!

We're having a BLAST!!

Our little brother has been awake more and more and we really enjoy all 'playing' together. And for some reason Adley didn't want to be on the bottom because he needed to be holding Jeremiah, and Nathanael was cool with that.

Adley is a great big brother, he gets things for mom when she needs it. Nathanael loves to help too, at bath time, and teamwork holding Jeremiah in the car seat on the way to the car.

We LOVE you guys,

I hope the rain lets up because we have HIGH energy, and it makes mom a little crazy!!

Nathanael's 3 year check-up

Today I had my 3 year check-up, and I'm weighing in at 35lbs 6oz (82 percentile) and 40 1/2 inches tall (96 percentile). Yah I'm tall - but you knew that. Everything is great with me, no shots, but I had to do the lead test. At the old pediatrics it was a finger prick and squeeze until you get enough blood. Here they drew blood from my arm, It hurt and I wanted out of the chair, but mom says I was so brave.

Some fun stats when Adley was 3 years old: 35 lbs 4oz and 39 inches....so pretty cool, I'm an inch and a half taller than Adley was.

Currently we're 5 lbs different and 4 inches different.

People often ask us when we're out and about if we're twins...

Yesterday we went to a play place with lots of climey pipes and fun ball pits. I'm so big I can go most everywhere, and where I couldn't quite get up on my own, Adley pushed me up by my bum. He's a great big brother. We had a blast!!

Have a great day friends!!

Nathanael

Look!! No training wheels!!

So check out this sweet video, I'm learning to ride a bike with no training wheels!!!

And I'm getting it!!

Wanted you all to know!!

And It's pretty exciting hence all the exclamation points!!!

Love Adley

Jeremiah's 1 Month Check-up

Jeremiah had his one month check-up today and he's weighing in at 12 lbs 5 oz (95 percentile) and is 23 1/2 inches long (96 percentile). He's doing great!! Just for fun the boys Adley & Nathanael were this big at 2 months:

Adley: 12 lbs 5oz and 23 inches long

Nathanael: 12 lbs 5 oz and 23 inches long

WOW, that's weird everything is so close....so he's exactly tracking a month a head...

awesome!!!

Love,

Jeremiah

Ma Tauntes Trip

Boy did we have a BLAST when Ma taunte was here. Check out these pics. We of course had lots of birthday celebration, but we played a ton in the back yard, she brought cool art things to do. We also had a fun fondue night, we made the salad for the 'intermission' (even though we went to bed before the chocolate...no fair.) We enjoyed fondue, but Adley didn't like the swiss cheese as much but liked the green apple dippers.

We also went to the farm. We fed goats, we collected chicken eggs, we saw peacocks, we played in the kids area and went on a hay ride and saw really big cows with huge horns. We learned a lot about animals and remember only a little. There are cows that are almost endangered...didn't know. At the end of the day we were very pooped, and Ma Taunte is the best....she carried us both. That night we went to friendlies for dinner...love the Ice Cream!!

We had a blast, and look forward to the day when we can fly west to see her.

We're really interested in flying since we drove her to the airport.

Love you all!!

The guys

Yah I know we totally missed the boat on this post!! Just pretend it's post dated, but you can also check out our Easter Pics!!

We woke up and had a sweet Easter Egg hunt! Had a great time at church, then off to Grandma & Grandpa's. We took a nice walk in the woods, the weather was so wonderful.

We had a very nice Easter!

The boys!!

Having a Nice Week!!

This week Dad worked 3 days, but we still got out and about!

Monday we went to the park for a couple hours and had a great time. On Tuesday we went to Walmart and bought some fun Easter things, and egg dying kit that we used today...very fun, also lots of fun Easter Candy. On Wednesday we went to the Christian Movie Festival and got to watch a free Veggie Tail movie on the BIG screen, Grandma came with us, it was very fun. This morning we dyed our Easter Eggs...we're gearing up for Easter Fun. We have a few new photo's, and maybe a video...if mom has time to cut it before Brother wakes up to eat.

Dad has tomorrow off, and we've got some friends coming over on Saturday. We're so settling in nicely. And little brother will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Mom can't believe how fast it's going. We can't wait for little brother to be bigger to be awake more and play. But he still gets lots of kisses, and Nathanael loves to help mom give little brother a bath.

Have a great Holy Week!!

Adley & Nathanael & Jeremiah - was sleeping

One Week Old!

Friday I was one week old!! Already huh? I'm figuring out this sleeping at night business...who knew..I used to love to move and shake in the wee hours of the night. But now I give mom 4hrs between each feeding...I know soo generous. she loves it. I sleep awesome in the morning, and I like to snuggle/eat all afternoon to early evening, but I'm a champ all night long, and mom loves that.

The big brothers got a metal slide from the neighbor, and a large wood log block to screw it to, it's pretty sweet. It will go on the swing set/slide kit dad is going to buy/make, but for now it's sweet. Check out the photo's of the boys....looks like we live in the middle of nowhere. I love it. Also I'm sporting some shades...

Today was a 70 degree day, we spent it mostly outside. We love to eat meals on the screened in porch, and pic nics on our blanket.

I'm settling in nicely, Aldey LOVES to give me kisses, and tries to comfort me when I'm upset. Very nice!!

Well time to get some shut eye!!

Love,

Jeremiah

Love the New Brother!!

I've been sitting here for the past few minutes just giving my new brother kisses, he's too cute. There's another pic of Nathanael and I peek-a-boo behind brothers seat too.

We love the new brother, but he's not awake and making noises that much.

I'm excited because my soccer league starts on Saturday, and yesterday Dad took me shopping for shin guards, soccer socks and cleats. It was so fun to try them out yesterday in the back yard. Can't wait to play Saturday, I'll keep you posted how much fun I have. It's called 'magnet' soccer, 4 on 4 which means there is 8 kids wherever the ball is. Can't wait.

The weather looks to be nice today, and Dad is home so we're going to have some fun.

We love family home days!!!

Love,

Adley

Hello Everyone,

I'm the newest Philips born April 1st in a snow storm at 1:52pm and weighing 10lbs (even) and 22 1/2 inches long. We're home and doing wonderfully, I'm settling in to life with my very busy brothers. Here are some pics for you guys to enjoy from my hospital stay!!

It's been a good first day at the new house, sleeping all day and up all night....mom mentioned changing my schedule up. I just know I'm glad to be home, those nurses with their shots and waking me up to check me out all the time.

Can't wait to meet you all!!

Spring Time!!

And we're totally pumped, a 60 degree day in our back yard is a fine time to get 'hot' and strip down. We had a fabulous day today enjoying the super fresh air.

And, no our baby brother is still hangin' out in Momma's belly. We went to the OB appointment today, and looks like he's BIG, about 9 1/2 lbs says the midwife. She likes his big bum...so does mom. Cool thing is mom gets to have an ultrasound in the morning just to see how big our 'little' brother is. I guess little brother is getting as big as he can before he comes out, because he hears how much FUN we have ALL THE TIME.

Well we figure any day now!! Can't wait to add him to our blog, and put up some cool new pics.

Have a nice warm day!!

Baby Bellies - Just for fun!!!

So this is a fun game my friend Sara inspired me to put together. :) Here are the boy bellies all at 36-37weeks...can you guess which boy is in which belly? so they might be out of order. :)

Enjoy!!

What's up with us!!

Wow, it's been a while, here's what's up with us.

Adley is 4 1/2 years old, that's big. So we measured him, he weighs in at 40lbs and is 43 1/2 inches tall. I've got no percentiles for you, but that's a gain of 2 1/2 inches and 2 lbs in 6 months....he's growing BIG.

Then we got some colds, and Adley had pneumonia. Mom said she liked us sick...what mom would say that....but she did say she enjoyed the snuggly book/movie times...I guess we have too much energy to snuggle on a normal day. He's doing 100% better and we're back to our rambunctious selves.

Nathanaels name for baby brother is 'Philips'...it works.

We're excited to meet baby brother, although I don't think Nathanael really gets that he's going to come home and live with us, it's just a big belly we talk to. :)

Well that's our little update until we meet our little brother due on or around (or before if you ask mom) March 28th.

Love,

Adley & Nathanael

Happy Chinese New Year!!

And Mom thought we'd only want to make a couple lanterns each!! They're hanging proudly in our picture window.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Love,

The guys!

Happy Groundhogs Day!!

And, NO these groundhogs didn't see their shadows either.

Early Spring, which is good because we've got over 3 feet of snow in our yard.....

Love,

The lil' groundhogs

Let it Snow!!!

Another snow day from School. Adley has had no school this week, with Monday being Martin Luther King day. I think we'll get out and enjoy the snow this morning as well. We dug a hole in a snow bank yesterday and have a cool tunnel...now Adley wants to dig a 'room' off the side to make it better. But mom has a hard time really getting in to help dig, so we'll see how that goes.

Have a nice snow day!!

Christmas Pics

Are finally UP.

Adley has a nickname for Baby Philips. It's Jazz, and we can't be sure if it's the transformer or Nana's Dog.

Having a nice relaxing week!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!
