I'm back

I have been a horrible blogger lately! We have been so busy around here and when I do get a moment to sit down on the computer Shaun is on the good one and I have the horribly slow one. Someday I will get a nice new computer that isn't super slow :)
Anyway, we have been up to a lot lately and so here is a little recap of our adventures around here.
My mom, sister, and niece came to visit!! It was so much fun to have them over here. I love my family, they are so awesome!!

Janalee and my niece Kaylee-two cuties!

Here are my handsome boys


I remember when I was little how we would cram as many kids and would fit into the bath at a time, it was fun for my kids to have a bath with their cousin :)


Of course we had to go to the beach while they were here. It was awesome! Perfect weather and lots of fun!





I hope we get to see them all again soon!! I miss being close to my family. Hopefully soon we will be a least within driving distance to them :)

Janalee has started soccer and we are all having fun with it. Shaun is the coach of her team and it is really fun for all of us. She is doing pretty good. She is on a team with only one girl who has only been there a few times, but she is learning to play with the boys :) She has even scored a couple goals, woo hoo!!

Janalee also turned 4 this month! I can't believe she is that old, my little baby girl has grown up, sniff sniff!! We had a great Tangled birthday party for her that was tons of fun! I had way too much fun putting this party together.
Here is her birthday banner that is now hanging in her room.

We played pin the nose of Flynn Rider and the kids got to draw and color their own noses. These are Rapunzel and Flynn's boat on the water. (I stole most all of these idea's from someone else on the internet so don't be too impressed)
The weather was so perfect that we could eat outside with made for a much easier clean up :)
Everyone got to make a crown for the party, what a cute bunch of kids!
Rapunzel's tower that they all got to color on like Rapunzel. After the party we cut a door in it so Janalee and Parker are having a blast playing with it. That brad was aweful to make and I will never do it again, but I think it is really cute and all the kids loved it.
Here is my sad attempt at Rapunzel's tower. Janalee liked it though so that is what matters.
I made her a dress for her birthday. She is in kid heaven when she is in dress up clothes!
