Catching up

I know I should blog more, but I have gotten addicted to Facebook and have forgotten about my sad little blog.... A lot has happened since my last blog, my husband lost his job ( thanks Gov Ritter) he has another one that he starts on the 16th, it pays less than half of what he was making, but we are grateful for work none the less...  We took another trip to Las Vegas, (Before the news of the job) to meet Chris's Grandma.. ( love her) it was fun, But I will wait until Ben and Mady are at least 5 and 6 before I ever attempt another Vacation... It was fun but I was worn out by the time it was over! 

It was nice to see the Wachels one more time, as I write this, they are somewhere in Canada on there way to their new adventure in Alaska...  

The kids have been busy, Nick took third at he Pinewood derby, I was quite grateful because last year he raced two times and was done, there were quite a few tears.... this year he was happy and had a great time ( plus his Dad got to come)

Heather has discovered the art of  "THE JUMP ROPE" I have heard a lot about jump roping as of late... she even discovered somewhere in the deep recesses of her closet that she in fact owned a jump rope... it was like Christmas morning:)

Mady is talking more and more, she will be two in June.... It is neat to watch her try to put sentences together.. the other day she found a freckle on my neck and said " IS THAT YOU OWEE?" She is also doing great at Potty training.... 

Mr. Ben is trying to walk, only when he feels like it though.... he loves to dance and play with his toys... he is such a mellow little guy and melts my heart with his cute little smile:)
