Gabe is such a smiley boy!

Gabe really enjoyed riding on the 4 wheeler. Grandpa Ray took him out for a couple nice long rides.

Gabe enjoying the outdoors and playing with the lawn mower earlier this summer.

The little guy was so tired he curled up on the floor one night and fell asleep.

Anna had a great time at Grandpa & Grandma Marting's house with the cute puggle puppies!

So what is the little one thinking?????

It has been way to long since I have posted a comment. I have been feeling a bit better, but by the time the kids lay down for an afternoon nap I am so ready for a nap myself that I just don't have much computer time.

Right now I really should be cleaning up my kitchen since it is a mile high in dirty dishes, but since Anna is watching Blues Clues I thought I would take the little time to share a moment that happened this morning. Some days I really think I am going to go crazy. This morning as I was in the shower Anna was up on the sink brushing her teeth. As soon as I got out and checked up on her I asked her were the tooth brush was. She didn't say and then I realized she stuck it down the drain. It's still there as I speak since my fingers are not long enough to get it.

Other things that my days consist of is Anna running around with just her panties on or sometime I catch her in the back yard running around in the nude. I don't know what it is with kids and not wanting to wear clothes. I try my best to insist on her wearing clothes, but when i am so tired and just want to lay on the couch and sleep it makes it difficult.

I have not gone in to see the doctor yet, so I don't know how far along I am. I am going to call today and get a appointed.

Well my kids need me....

#3 is on the way....

Saturday morning coffee did not smell so great and plus I was a bit tired the week before. So I took a pregnancy test Saturday night and found out # 3 is on the way.... The little one should be due sometime in January. So if things are not going to be crazy enough with Brandon going to school here in the fall our family will be growing as well.
For those of you who may not know. Brandon was accepted to the UW of Madison and will be going to get his Nursing degree. He will be attending full time and working part time.
Well that is the latest new! I'll keep everyone updated on the pregnancy.

Gabe enjoys riding in his new wagon

Anna enjoys pushing Gabe on her Cinderella bus and he enjoys the ride too.

Happy Birthday Gabe!!!

Gabe had his 1st. Birthday on May 16th. I made him an angel food cake and some angel food cupcakes. The topping is homemade whip cream and sprinkles for a little extra color. It was delicious and Gabe thought so too, which you can see from some of the pictures below. He ate the whole cupcake.

Anna helped Gabe open his gifts. He got the nice little red wagon and then a John Deere tracker that has a farmer and farm animals that came with it. It also makes cute animal noises.

I just took this picture of Anna yesterday. She had herself a bowl of sliced up apples and peanut butter and was just enjoying herself. It was such a beautiful day.

I have to take pictures when Anna does not know I am taking them or I will get smiles like the pictures below...

I don't have to worry about not getting a good grin out of Gabe..

Gabe started walking at 11 months old, which was almost a month ago. He is now all over the house. Next Wed. May 16th will be his 1st birthday. How time flies. I am really going to enjoy putting in a garden this year and working outside, which is were I am heading after this post. The kids are sleeping, so time to get some more weeds out of the garden.

Anna loves the outdoors. She has all her pails and containers to put rocks and dirt in. She helped me on Saturday with collecting the weeds in the garden and dumping them. She is going to be mommies little helper.

I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted pictures. So here are some great pictures of the kids and things that they have been doing.

Grandpa Marting visited one weekend and Anna was always right by him sitting and wiggling around. She also really liked the puppies that he brought up to sell.

Well we finally had a nice weekend on April 28th to put the swing set together. Grandpa & Grandma Kostman got the swing set for the kids for Christmas. Anna loves it and mommy does too. It keeps her busy, so I can get things done that I need to.

Sleepy girl...This is what I find when I come home in the evenings from working at Victor Allen's Coffee & Tea.
