Hanging out with Papa and Nana Chard

Peterson is so beautiful this time of year. 

This is the view from their back yard. 

Levi gets so excited to see his Papa Chard. 

He helped Papa drive the big green truck (while it was in Park!!!).  He figured 

out how to honk the horn. Unfortunately he wouldn't stop :)

Levi is sporting his cousin Tacie's 

Tinker Bell sunglasses.  Style n'

Riding the tractor with Papa

Papa sharing a nap with Olivia

She is so cute!..

Happy Birthday Levi

Cold Stone Oreo Ice cream cake to top off 

the celebration.  

I can't believe that Levi is 2!!!!  It is so crazy.  

Shane and I got him a train track and a whole

bunch of trains.  He wouldn't stop screaming

"Trains!!! UH OH!!! OH NO!!! Trains."  It was awesome.  

I love spring!

I absolutely love this tree! It is 

a flowering Crab Apple.  The blossom's

are amazing.

Silly Levi.  He loves to play in Olivia's 

car seat.  

This is the best that I can do.  

The photo does not do it justice :)

CRAZY!!!

Everything around here has been just that CRAZY!

From trying to get the kids on some what of the same schedule to making sure that Levi is getting enough one on one time.   Levi is more accepting of Olivia now, but you can tell when he isn't getting enough one on one.  Olivia has colic/reflux pretty bad making it really hard to sit down, even for a few minutes, to be with Levi.   To keeping the house picked up, laundry done, and a meal to eat. I can't tell you how sick of cereal I am.  Oh and I can't forget...trying to get our back yard finished.   We have all but 3 trees to plant and weeding the garden area. Maternity leave wasn't very relaxing. :) 

I start back to work this week.  I am really EXCITED!!! I miss everything about work, especially my friends.  

Liz took some really cute pictures of Olivia. 

Oh... and I CHOPPED my hair off!!! and it is no longer Blonde :)

I have yet to take a picture of it.  I will do my best to get one posted tomorrow :)  

A Few Pic's of the Kids

Levi loves giving her kisses!

I can't get Levi to try and hold her

for a picture.  He just takes a big

swing at her... maybe he will come

around one of these days :)

HERE SHE IS!!!

Olivia decided to join us at the most 

unfortunate time.  Shane and I have 

had a serious Upper Respiratory Infection

for the past week.  I am surprised

that I didn't just cough her out :)  So we are 

having to wear masks 24/7 in an attempt

to keep her from getting sick.  

I can't believe how tiny she looks, 

and then I think back to when Levi

was born and he was a whopping 2 lbs

lighter.  

Here are a few other random picts

that we took.  

When I first saw her (5 hrs after she was born)

It was as if I was looking at a much larger

version of Levi.
