The Visitors and the COLD!

For Ike's birthday we had some visitors for the weekend. It was so great to have them all there. There was a total of 8 adults and 2 kids at our home that weekend. CRAZY!! My sister Melissa, her hubby to be Bobby, Jill and Adam all came from Michigan. They may not have enjoyed the cold that also joined us here in Minnesota for there stay but they all enjoyed my little family. However it did get cold fast here so I don't blame them for not liking it. I don't like the cold much either. Jill had the hardest time coping with the cold. Almost the whole time she was here, either out and about or in the house, she was wearing her coat. Little did she know that when she got back home to Michigan that it was going to be cold and snowy there. HA!

Here we all are surviving the cold on Garvin Heights for a picture

Ike turned 3!!!

Can you believe that Ike is 3 years old now!!! WOW time flies by. Last night we had a birthday party. Auntie Mel, Uncle Bobby, Jill (Ike's girlfriend), and Adam (Jill's husband) all came from Michigan to celebrate with us. Lots of other friends came to the party too. It was really nice. Ike was so excited and had a good time. I still have a hard time believing that I am a mother of a 3 year old let alone a mother of two. I don't now what I would do if Ike weren't in our lives. He is such a blessing to us. He is so sweet and cute and makes us laugh so much. Oh the joys of my lil Ikers.

It was a Cars themed party

Crazieness and Pictures

So Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have blogged life has just been crazy busy.
For those of you that responded to my last blog of the picture of the boys Quilon was on the top and Ike was on the bottom. Good guess to some of you!
I have been working/training like mad lately for my part time job at the hospital. This is my last week thank goodness. So hopefully things will calm down some. We had doctors visits this week and Quilon is above the 95th percentile for his age. Which is really not a big surprise to us. He is our little beast!
We also had Trick-or-Treating last week. Ike got way to much candy but both the boys had a good time. We always drive to all our different friends houses and show them off, which they all enjoy or so I hope that they do, but no more of that. With the two now it is way to much work. Next year we are just going around the block and calling it quits.
We are getting ready for Ike's 3rd birthday party on Friday. Can you beleive that I have a three year old already?!?!? I can't at times. Life is going by so fast and that is why I am ready for the crazieness to end! Maybe then things will slow down. I doubt it though.

Here are some newer pictures........
