Buds.

Landon had his first Valentine's Day party at preschool.  He had 3 special Valentine's for his teachers and was so cute giving them to each of them.  When he came home from school excited with his box full of Valentines and candy, he brought them to the table to look at them all.  He immediately (and all on his own) gave Kadence all of the princess and "girly" Valentine cards and then shared his candy with her.  Landon is growing up and is such a caring boy.  Love him so much!

Think Spring!

We've had some awesome weather here the past few days with temps in the 50's and lots of sunshine!  A lot of our snow has melted and it has everyone thinking spring!  I know this is just going to be a tease because it will cool down soon and I'm sure we'll get some more snow, but we are going to enjoy it while it's here!  We bundled Kenzie up and went for a little family walk.

Kenzie's first ride in the stroller.  She liked it!  Also her first view of the world outside since her face was uncovered.  She was in awe looking around and into the sky!

Landon and Kadence had a blast with all the water.  They splashed threw all of the puddles and were very wet.

So much fun to be outside!  I can't wait for more days like these and even warmer!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love to my sweet Valentine!

"The best thing about me is you."

Happy Valentine's Day!  I am blessed to have the four best Valentine's a girl could ask for!  Today the kids and I are hanging out while Ry is at clinical and then studying.  I am so excited for him as he only has 6 days of clinicals left, yes only 6!!  The two of us actually get to go out for a movie tonight and I am so excited to have some alone time with my love.  What a great day!  

Back Blogging.

 If you have noticed I have not been very good at keeping up with my blogging lately.  I have three very good reasons for the back blogging lately:  1. Landon  2. Kadence  3. Kenzie.  These three loves have been demanding most of my time and never fail to keep me busy.  With all the extra things Ryan and I have been trying to figure out with transitioning to the next step of our life; along with normal living chores (yuck!), Ryan having clinical and studying, and three very young children (one being a demanding newborn) the things that I enjoy doing have definitely been put on the back burner.  This month has been a very stressful month for our family and I know that the next is going to be just as stressful.  The thing that is keeping me sane right now is knowing that in just 2 short months we will be moved into our new home (that we haven't found yet) in Fargo and Ryan will be finally getting paid to work.  I am hoping our life will find some normalcy in the near future and we can all relax a bit.  Until then, 1 day at a time....and dreams of a tropical vacation!

We're going crazy!!!!

The expression on Kadence's face shows how we have been feeling here.  The weather has been very cold and we have been cooped up.  We are going a little stir crazy in the house and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring and some warmer weather!  Thank goodness the weekend is supposed to be 40 degrees!

Slumber Party!

Kadence joined Landon in his room for a few nights so that Arin could have her own space in Kadence's room.  The kids both thought this was a great idea and were very excited!!  Landon begged to sleep on the floor and Kadence wanted to sleep in Landon's bed, so it worked out perfectly!  Here is a shot of all three of them in Landon's temporary bed (the floor) reading stories before bedtime.  It was definitely fun for them for a change.  Love these munchkins!

A trip to Fargo.

On Monday, we headed to Fargo to look for housing, hang out with Jack and Holly, and do some other odds and ends.  Arin was able to make the trip with us to help with the kids while we looked at houses.  Unfortunately, we didn't find a place to live yet but had a nice visit.  It definitely increased our excitement and Ryan and I are getting very anxious to move.

The kids had a blast with Jack and I know they will love seeing him more often when we move.
