We are now bloggers!

So after many friends and family asking if we have a blog we decided to start one. Well for starters I will talk about my beautiful kids, Ethan just turned 3 on July 28 (I can't believe it) and Sophie is 5 months old. Ethan is so full of life and is always going full speed, he really gives me a run for my money. As I said before he just turned 3 and we had so much fun celebrating. On his Birthday we took him to the Dinosaur museum and he loved it I think Shaun liked it even more. We also saw the 3D movie about Dinosaurs and it was so funny to see Ethan's response to the 3D images flying at him. He almost fell out of his chair a few times.
We had his birthday party on the 30th, originally it was supposed to be at our house but plans changed. Well for starters Shaun broke his foot a few weeks ago so he is on crutches so he can't help out too much. Then the morning of the party I was trying to get yard work done when I noticed a HUGE wasps nest right by where we were planning on having the party. Then as I was trying to set up a table in the backyard the table collapsed. I was ready to explode, then my phone rang it was my mom all she said was " how about we do the party in our backyard?" I was so relieved I guess mothers intuition kicked in and she knew what I needed without me even telling her. I am so thankful for my wonderful parents!
So the party was moved and it was a blast, all of our close friends and family were there and Ethan got spoiled rotten. I can't believe the generosity, so thank you to all of you for all of the great gifts.
So now about our little angel Sophie, she is the best baby! She is always so happy and is a good sleeper we are so lucky. She had a little bit of a rough start, but is wonderful and healthy now. She was born at 35 weeks I had to be induced do to toxemia. They induced me on February 28 and she was born on the 29th (Leap day) At first I was a little upset about her only having a birthday once every 4 years, but now I think it is special.
Sophie was 4lb 9oz but only had to spend 2 days in NICU and only had to stay in the hospital for 5 days. We feel so blessed that we have beautiful healthy kids!
