A Visit from Grandpa & Grandma Kostman......
This past week Brandon's parents came to visit the us and the grand kids. It was so nice visiting with them and the kids had a great time spending time with there grandpa and grandma. Also so many projects got done around the house, which is such a blessing.

The First Garage Sale Find of the Season......
Deforest had there city wide garage sales last weekend and I came across this Little Tikes picnic table for $15. What a great deal:) The kids love it and it will be a great way to keep some mess outside.

New Bathroom flooring....
One of the big projects that Brandon's dad did while he was here was put new flooring in our upstairs bathroom. I should of taken pictures of the old flooring, but I didn't think about it till it was torn out. Just think late 70's patterns and it was so dingy and dirty, but now we have super nice new flooring. It sure changes the look of the bathroom. The last thing that I am going to do to finish up the bathroom is fame the mirror with some wood trim. That will make the bathroom look really sharp.

Gabe's Birthday Pictures.......
It was so nice to have Grandpa and Grandma Kostman here for Gabriel's Birthday. I was able to put together a double layer chocolate cake with almond butter cream frosting and it was a big hit. Wow it hard to believe he is 2 years old and such a cutie.

Happy 2nd Birthday Gabriel.....

Today my little guy turns 2 and it's hard to believe. We will post some birthday pictures in a couple days. Grandma and Grandpa Kostman are coming for a visit and so we are going to have a birthday party for him on Sunday night.

Noah is almost 4 months old.....
What a cutie pie:) He started rolling over at around 3 months old, which was the first week of May and he is a very good baby. He also is sleeping a good 5 to 6 hours stretch at night and takes several good naps during the day. I could not be more blessed with this little sweetie.

Leaving for a Long Weekend......
The kids and I are leaving tomorrow to visit Grandpa & Grandma Marting and attend a graduation party on Friday. Brandon has to stay behind because his finals start at the end of the week. It's hard to believe that his first year of school is done. I will post some new pictures next week. Also have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

Anna's First Bike.......
Brandon and I had been thinking that we needed to get some kind of bike for Anna to ride this summer, but we weren't sure were we'd find it. I was hoping that I'd come across one at a garage sale. Well, we took some stuff to Goodwill earlier this week and as Brandon was unloading the trunk I noticed on the bike rack in front of Goodwill that they had this little blue bike with training wheels. How perfect:) So we snatched it up right away and Anna was all excited. We also picked up a larger girls' bike that she'll be able to ride in a few years. We paid a total of $20 for the two of them. Here are some pictures of Anna's first bicycle ride. She had trouble at first figuring out that she needed to keep the pedaling going the same direction. She'd be pedaling along and suddenly pedal the opposite direction and cause the back tire to skid. She's learning quickly, though.
