Ok I know I have been horrible with updating this blog. I'm sorry!!! I picked out a bunch of random pictures from the last 6 months or so. Enjoy!!

Thanksgiving '09

2009-11-28T14:31:00.009-05:00

We had a pretty quiet Thanksgiving. Jen made most of the dinner and it came out so great!! Jacob came down with a fever right when we were about to eat though. After some Motrin and a little nap he felt much better. I took him to the doctor the next day and it turns out he has an ear infection. Poor thing has been miserable. Jacob and I had to stay home while Jay and Nathan went up to NH to visit Nana, Papa, Auntie Joelle and Allie. I hear Nathan is having a blast and I can't wait to hear all about it when he gets back!

Mother's Day

2009-05-12T15:27:00.007-04:00

I had such a GREAT Mother's Day! On Saturday, Jay, Jen and her boyfriend Josh took the boys to Plaster Fun Time. They picked some things out to paint me for Mother's Day. Nathan picked a Bob the Builder figure and Jacob picked what looked like a planting pot. Haha. They came out so cute!! Then Mother's Day morning we went out to breakfast and then to the Franklin Park Zoo. It was a little windy, but such a great day. Later on that night Jay and I picked up his cousins and headed to New Hampshire to see Dane Cook! Great show. I had a cold and was sneezing most of the night, but I had fun anyway. I hope all you other Moms had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!!

Jen's Birthday

2009-05-12T15:01:00.004-04:00

On April 26th, my sister Jen turned 19 years old. I remember when she was a baby and I was changing her stinky diapers. I'm getting old! Anyway, to celebrate we went to Canobie Lake Park and then to Red Robin for dinner. The boys loved it at Canobie. Nathan didn't want to go on any of the kid rides except for a race car. All he wanted to do was play games. Jacob LOVED the rides. Its strange how different the two of them are. We all had a great time there and then a yummy dinner. Red Robin has the best burgers. Everyone should try them!

Easter

2009-04-15T10:54:00.006-04:00

Well, we had a great Easter. The boys loved their baskets, which can turn into hats when they're done. I thought they were cute. It looks like Jacob's favorite candy is Gummy Bears and Nathan's is anything that resembles Peeps. I had to hide their candy so they wouldn't eat it all. We went to Jay's Aunt Donna's house in Saugus for Easter dinner. The boys had a blast playing with everyone. As always, it was great to see them and we hope to see them again soon!

Nathan's 3rd Birthday!

2009-03-03T14:02:00.008-05:00

Well we didn't end up taking the boys to Friendly's for Nathan's birthday. The whole week leading up to his birthday, everyone in our house was sick with a stomach bug. It was horrible!! I didn't want them eating all that food and then getting sick so we just went to the museum. They seemed fine the whole morning and on the way there. A little while after we got there Jacob got very fussy and wanted to be held. And then I smelled it. He "got sick" and leaked out of his diaper. It was nasty, the smell was so bad. I didn't pack an extra outfit so we had to buy him a pair of 4T sweatpants at the gift shop. After that he was back to his normal self though. They ended up having a blast! Enjoy the pics of my cuties.

Christmas

2009-02-10T17:22:00.006-05:00

I know its been a while since this was updated. Sorry about that, but I tried a few times, and the site crashed.

So here are some Christmas pictures. They boys had a great time and got lots of gifts from everyone. Thanks!!

Now we are coming up on Nathan's 3rd birthday in a few weeks. Its crazy how time flies. I can't take it, it makes me sad!! Jacob will be 18 months! That I really can't believe, he still seems like a little baby to me.

I'll make sure I update this right after Nathan's birthday. We're planning on taking him (and Jacob, of course) to Friendly's for lunch and then to The Children's Museum. I can't wait!!

Thanksgiving

2008-12-04T18:23:00.006-05:00

We had a great time in New Hampshire for Thanksgiving. The boys LOVED being at Nana and Papa's house. Jacob especially loved pushing the doll stroller around the house and Nathan loved the play dough. Nathan and Allie had so much fun playing in the snow and kicking the ball around outside. Nathan was scared of the sled but Allie loved it! It was so nice spending a few days with everyone. All the food was delicious! I want Mary Ann's stuffing recipe. YUM!

Nutella

2008-12-04T18:06:00.002-05:00

I remember seeing pictures of myself when I was little eating yummy Nutella, so I thought I'd take some of the boys. They LOVE it, just like their Mama.

Hockey!

2008-11-06T18:16:00.006-05:00

Tuesday night Jay had a 7pm hockey game, so I decided to come and bring the boys. Jen came too. Nathan had more fun running around than watching the game, but he did like seeing Daddy. He also loved pushing Jacob in the stroller. That kept him occupied for a while. Right when the game ended Nathan said, "let's go home now, Mom". It was so cute. Then he was saying he wanted to go to Grandma Lily's house because we were telling him how we're going to visit Saturday. It went much better than I thought it would, it was a fun night!

Halloween

2008-11-03T09:42:00.006-05:00

Thursday we went to a special Halloween Story Time at the Library. The boys heard 3 stories and then Nathan had fun gluing a bat together and then using crayons and glitter glue to decorate it.

The boys had fun trick-or-treating on Halloween. Nathan LOVED getting "lots and lots of candy". Jacob just stayed in the stroller. I can't wait til next year when they both can go door to door.

After the boys went to bed, Jay and I went to Dave & Buster's with Amanda, her boyfriend, Andrew, and 2 of his friends. We had a blast!

Leaves!

2008-10-28T12:30:00.008-04:00

It was so nice out yesterday! I had been wanting to get some pictures of the boys playing in leaves, so I thought yesterday would be perfect. They had a ball throwing the leaves around and Jacob loved this one stick. They're so funny.

After playing in the leaves we went to the park to play on the grass. We always bring a few balls and a baseball bat to play with. They love it out there. Jacob LOVES to watch the planes. He always stops whatever he's doing to look up and point at them. Its adorable. Nathan always wants to kick the ball back and forth. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a "soccer mom" someday.

And here are a few pictures taken on the walk home.

Fun Weekend!

2008-10-20T11:15:00.005-04:00

We had such a fun weekend! Jay's Mom (AKA Mary Ann or Nana) took us, Allie (my neice), Dan (Allie's Dad) and Nicole (our friend) to the Stone Zoo and Friendly's on Saturday. We had so much fun. The zoo was cold, but nice. We loved watching the wolves. Thanks so much for a great day!

On Sunday we went to Connor's Farm in Danvers. Amanda came with us to go through the corn maze! We had a blast in there. Nathan was great with telling us which way to go. He found the way! We also got the boys some small pumpkins that we'll have them paint soon. The cider was really yummy too!

Story Time!!

2008-10-16T12:15:00.006-04:00

This morning Nathan had his first day of Story Time at the Library. The librarian read about 5 stories and sang 2 songs. It was so cute! Nathan had a blast. After the stories they did a craft. Today the craft was to glue a paper sheep on to a piece of construction paper, and then glue some cotton on to it. Nathan did a great job (with some help from Mommy)! We'll be going back next week for more!

The Topsfield Fair

2008-10-15T18:26:00.010-04:00

On Saturday we went to the Topsfield Fair. After getting off the highway, it took us about an hour to get there when it should have taken about 5 minutes the most. We had to park down the street and walk there, which was ok since it was so nice out. Someone gave us free passes too! That was a great surprise. There were so many people there that we could barely walk around, it was bad. I'm sure it didn't help that we had a big double stroller either. Oh well, hopefully next year will be better.
