We're back!!!!

Sorry, I never intended to stop posting to my blog! But you know, one thing leads to another, and then come the holidays! WOW! But I'm back!
I hope you enjoy all of these pictures. I wish I could tell you what they all are, but I don't even remember which ones I chose, hahaha! Most are self-explanatory, of course.

Hard to believe, but school is almost half over at this point. Samantha just recently had to choose the classes she will take in HIGH SCHOOL. Yes, high school. My baby is definitely growing up. (insert sad face here). It's exciting though. I'm eager to see what her schedule looks like.
Will is doing good. He says he already knows what he will choose-- technology. He is ALL ABOUT technology.
Colby, who knows..

It has been very cold here in NY. Snow over-flow! It snowed again last night so there's more fresh stuff out there. The kids love it. Well, the younger kids. Sam, not so much. Will, sometimes. Colby and Owen love it!! Me, well, it's prett, that's all I have to say.

Sam is well into basketball, and starting to plan for softball.
Will and Colby are just MONTHS away from being BLACK BELTS--- they will take their test in MAY!!!!! But this is where it gets tough, so wish them luck!!!

Owen's birthday party!

On Saturday we celebrated Owen's 2nd birthday with a small party at home with family. We had a Sesame Street theme of course because Owen LOVES Elmo and Ernie right now! He was excited because he got an Ernie for a gift! He got a little Elmo, an Elmo potty, some cars, some books, and other toys. He was hesitant to open the gifts at first but quickly understood what to do!
Sam's friend Lauren made Owen his Elmo cupcakes and they were a hit!! Adorable looking, and delicious!
Today is Monday, and Will is home from school because he came down with pink eye yesterday. He's not actually sick though, so he's out on the trampoline with Owen! Owen loves it. Will is so good with him. So far today they have read books, watched an Elmo DVD, and played together. Owen is lucky to have older siblings who are so good to him!

Owen is 2 now!
