Welcome 2014!

I have two New Year's resolutions!  1. To be a better wife and 2.  Update the blog and keep it updated!  I have a new iPad so that should help (with blogging) not the wife part;).   I blog because it is a memory keeper for myself.  It is more like a digital memory book.

 2013 was not the worst year, but we are definitely looking forward to 2014.  It is going to be a great year!

A lot has happened since August:). School is going great for me!  I adore my kids, their parents and the people I work with!

Declan is doing great in pre-k.  He absolutely loves it!  He is very active and impulsive, but extremely smart!  He is listening a lot better at home too.  I could only have asked for a better teacher for him.  She is phenomenal and adores him!  I'm very grateful to her!  As long as Declan loves to go to school and learning we are good!  He is a little sponge!

Mead is 18 months old now!  He is so freaking smart and with it.  I'm amazed at what smart boys we have.  Mead helps around the house and is already using two to three word sentences.  He is very independent and watches everything his big brother does...good and bad.  He has even started using the potty!

They both try my patience and are busier than ever, but I could not love these boys anymore!!!

Jason is great.  Still working very hard as usual.  I'm excited to see what 2014 holds for him.  He has some "irons in the fire," so to speak... and I think this will be his year.  He deserves it!

Here are a few recent pictures!  We hope everyone has a happy new year!!!  Here's to 2014!!!

It's been a REALLY long time...

Since I have blogged! We have been busy with everyday life! So much to say, but not enough time in the day! We are alive and well! Summer is over and we are back to school! Declan started pre-k last week and I entered my 12th year teaching the most amazing students! Declan also turned 4 yesterday?! I seriously cannot believe how big the boys are getting! I'm rambling imagine that:).
Summer was the summer of work for our family! Whoever says teachers have the summers off is WRONG! I worked very hard, but also had some quality time with the boys. Jason was busy working as well, so no trips. We definitely don't feel sorry for ourselves after going to the beach and DisneyWorld earlier this year! We are very lucky!

The boys are awesome! Mead is so smart and has a very bad temper. I would say he smiles 90% of the time! He talks a lot like his big brother. He currently says...up, yeah, bye, cool, mama, de de (Declan), da da, all done, no, ball, apple, Cyn Cyn, and continues to sign! He is a joy! His smile lights up a room and we still get stopped everywhere we go with compliments of how adorable he is!

Declan is so smart it is scary! He absolutely loves school! I LOVE having him at work with me everyday! We get lots of one on one time! It takes us about 20 minutes to make it down the hallway, because he has to speak to everyone! Pretty sure he gets that from his Dad and Pop:)

Jason and I are great! Both working hard and trying to be great parents! Just enjoying life, each other, and our boys:)

Here are some random pics:)

Father's Day

Our boys could not be luckier to have Jason as their father! Declan walked around with a #1 dad hat and would not let me leave without it!!!! He LOVES his Daddy! So does Mead...he runs to him and grabs him at the Knesset the minute he walks in the door! Makes my heart so happy! I knew Jason would be a great Dad, but he has exceeded my expectations! He is amazing! We are so lucky! Love MY boys!

Scott Woodside...there are many words to describe you, but I choose....generous, hilarious, loving, selfless, and wonderful! You are the epitome of a perfect father. Thanks for always being there for me and my family! Your love is unconditional and so evident! We love you!!!!

Mom had Crabs delivered in from Maryland. Yum! Father's Day or Daughter s Day????
