These pictures are a couple months old but I was going through my online albums and realized I never shared the fun we had at the amusement park so I’m sharing a couple pictures today :)

Jacob was so excited to get his Sparks membership card at Awana last week! They do little award ceremonies so he got to go up there on the stage and then everyone clapped for him :)
(Disclosure: I received free tickets to Dixie Stampede where this picture was taken but I purchased this picture with my own money.)
Can you guess which child probably wouldn’t have gotten the job?

Jacob’s birthday was June 4th. Can’t believe my little boy is 5 years old already! Here are a few pictures :)

This past Saturday was the first soccer practice of the season and Luke’s very first time playing a sport. Last year he had to watch Jacob have all the fun so this year he was so excited to be able to participate.
I didn’t get many pictures of them playing since they were far away. I’ll have to get some better ones next week.
I hope all of you who celebrate Easter had a wonderful one. Here are some of my favorite pictures. Finally pulled out my Christmas gift to use so I got some decent, non-cell phone pictures to share!

Look how tiny Lucas looks in his new bed! The boys were so excited to pick out their bedding at the store. Jake chose Avengers and Luke chose Spiderman.

It’s so fun looking back at pictures of when my children were babies! I remember giving Jacob his first bath and being so worried about how fragile he was. Nowadays I have to worry about the boys jumping around in the tub and not hurting themselves as they giggle with each other! What a difference a few years make :)
After a whole bunch of pictures this was the best shot we got of these 5, 4, and 3 year olds. Aren’t they all adorable in their little outfits? :)
No snow here in Chicago and I don’t have any recent pictures that don’t have at least one child moving so I decided to share this picture from 2010 of Jacob playing in the snow indoors. This is such a fun way to play with snow on super cold days. I put it in a sink but you can use a large Rubbermaid container or put it in a clean bathtub.
To make indoor snow play even more fun you can hide things in the snow for your child to find or color the snow with colored cold water in a spray bottle.
Have fun! :)
I was going through pictures from past years and came upon this one from 2009. My youngest, Lucas, is Santa Claus and my brother’s youngest, Madelyn, is Frosty! Aren’t they adorable!?
We had a fantastic Halloween last week and I hope you all did, too! I wanted to share pictures of the boys Trick or Treating and also at their Halloween school parades.
Lucas carries this blanket everywhere. He carefully covered up the fireplace area with it, patted it, and then sat down on it and watched TV. Anyone else’s kiddo {with Autism or without} have a lovey they carry everywhere?
A couple weekends ago I attended dinner courtesy of Verizon Wireless and have to share pictures of the food I ate because it was probably the most beautiful plate display I’ve seen and it was all amazingly delicious. If you are ever in Chicago I recommend you eat dinner at Bin 36!
Also, I wanted to show the quality of the camera on my new Samsung Galaxy III. Considering the fact that the room was not well-lit, I think they turned out great for a cell phone camera.

My blog is a few days away from celebrating it’s FOUR YEAR BIRTHDAY!! Wow! In honor of that I thought I’d share some pictures that were taken the week I started the blog {It’s hard to remember Jacob was ever this little…}

Luke’s birthday was a couple weeks ago and I already shared pictures from our tropical party but wanted to share some from the last half of the day as well :)
Yesterday the boys and I headed to The Wit Hotel in Chicago for a blogging event with Universal Orlando Resort to celebrate a new attraction coming this summer.
Here is more information on the Despicable Me attraction from the press release:
Universal Orlando’s newest attraction, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, will take guests on an unforgettable 3-D adventure with their favorite characters from the hit film – Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes and the mischievous minions. The experience begins when guests enter Gru’s home, where they learn that they’re being recruited to become minions and undergo “minion training.” Things don’t go as planned, and guests find themselves on a wildly hysterical journey with Gru and his daughters. Once guests make it through training, they join an interactive, minion-inspired dance party where they can show off their best moves.
Click here to see a picture of the boys and I with the characters from Despicable Me {It’s copyrighted so I can’t share it here on my blog.} Here are two of my favorite pictures from the breakfast:
