So, we are the biggest slackers in the world. At least when it comes to blogging, that is. It has been a pretty eventful couple of months. Since we haven't written anything since Christmas, I will catch you up.

Our biggest purchase of the year came not too long after it started. (That grumbling you hear is Jared. He hates spending money) It was quite necessary after we slid off the road into a snow bank and damaged a few expensive things in our Dodge Stratus. It has been a good car and we could have fixed it, but we thought we would upgrade to keep us on the roads next winter. Here it is!

It is a Subaru Tribeca with a 3rd row seat for when we decide to add some more munchkins to the bunch.

Speaking of munchkins, Lydia turned 1 on Febrary 26th. Here are a few images from the two small family parties we had:


















She also can walk now! She is a little troublemaker and gets into everything! She gets this look when she knows she is getting into something she is not supposed to.




I can't leave out Ben. He just loves his Wii and can drive better on Mario Cart better than I can! Next month we will be registering him for Kindergarten. I can't believe he is going to be 5 already!














This is our most recent project: We painted our living room green!












And finally, our little daffodils that we planted last year are blooming! My favorite flower!
