hello mr. chompers!

It was finally time to take Mia to meet Mr. Chompers and Dr. Trost! I love Dr. Trost! She is our
family dentist and is wonderful. She always tells me "that tooth looks so good i would put
it in my mouth!". She is super patient and was wonderful with Mia. And look how good Mia is
scrubbing those teeth!

nana and pawpaw's

On weekend's that I have to work, Darrin will take the kids out to his mom's to spend the day. They decided to get the tractor out so miss mia could go riding around the property. She even allowed Lucas to ride along with her for a brief moment! after that she would stop and wait for him to cathc up, act like she was going to let him get on and take off!! It's a benifit of being the big sister i guess.

opening day!

Darrin and I have been lucky enough to catch opening day at Wrigley 3 times now and it is always the same! Lots of excitement, a big crowd and always fun, fun fun!! There is no place like Wrigley! Chicago has the best city for baseball! We stayed in Wrigleyville this time, were able to walk to the stadium and grab lunch at the cubby bear prior to the game! Well, we had appetizers - we saved out lunch appetite for a chicago dog in the stadium! yum!! We can't wait to take the kids to Wrigley when they are a little bit older. The bottom right picture is on of my favorites - the lady had on some vintage cubbie attire - her hat, pins, jacket and bag! and she kept score on a score card too! Her friend was just as vintagly-festive, but I didn't get a picture of her. She was quite lively for take me out to the ball game too! very enthusistatic and a true cubbie fan!

what a difference

6 months can make. He is looking less like a baby and more like a big boy!

friends

I have lots of love for these girls! they can go from crazy to sweet in 2 seconds.

here comes peter cotton tail...

we were able to dye some eggs this year and have both kids help us! Mia loved it, she was ready to
start on another dozen after these! Lucas, however, just wanted to snack on the eggs, shell and all!

Easter 2010

For easter we went to Tia Laura's house for lunch. The food was yummy and the kids had a blast. The easter bunny his lots of eggs in Tia's front yard. The kids looked so nice in their easter clothes. Without any planning on our part, Lucas and Izabella both had on adorable yellow outfits. It is so fun watching them grow together and see what one can do that the other is still learning. I think Lucas has about 8-10lbs on little Bella, but she bosses him around all the time.

the easter egg hunt!

We also went to to Aunt Debbie's for some family time! We had some great food there too and lots of fun playing out in her yard! it's huge! We loved spending time with nana and pawpaw and aunt debbie and uncle mike!

easter egg hunt

We made it to the eckert's easter egg hunt and more again this year. It was a fun filled day of pictures, icing cookies, bunnies and making new friends! Last year the 2 Mia's went, this year Shelby joined us! She was recently back from her stint in Germany so we inited her and her family along! It was a great time! The best is always dining at Eckert's restraunt afterwards. Three mom's and 6 kids, it wasn't hectic at all!

Lucas' first hunt. He loved it and found a bunch of eggs!

the girls patiently waiting for their turn. I think they had a great time!
