Link... AKA - Now named Blue Bean for Internet security is here...

Summer time....

Do I ever love these days.... where a simple cheap pool will give us HOURS and HOURS of entertainment this summer.  Soon my kids will grow... and the lil things will be to lil for them.  So DO WE ever LOVE LOVE LOVE stepping out the back door into our lil kiddie pool. 

 However... we are also waiting patiently for the new arrival of BABY BEAN.  Green Bean is a mommy's boy and he is not liking how mommy is a not a big fan of holding lil Green Bean all the time with her ever so growing belly.  As Pink Bean will say "Mommy if you are having a little baby... why does your belly keep getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER!"

ps... thanks to all who follow along.  It is soooo neat and fun to hear people say they drop in on our blog. ;o)

It's a box....

Pink Bean at 11 months

Why do we buy toys again... when all they want is the box... ? 

The kids...

Here is a picture of Pink Bean...

We went over to Rick & Dawn's to hold a labradoodle puppy.  They have 2 new batches of puppies (if anyone is looking for a great dog) and Pink Bean has been bagging to go over and hold one. 

 Green Bean found this mower in the basement... and so we brought it up stairs.  He plays with it ALL day and ALL night.  Mommy wishes it actually would sweep the carpet since he is sure making some miles with this little mower. 

 Here are the kids when they first get up... Pink Bean puts on her back pack and gets ready to go find treasure..

 I should hide some stuff under the couch for her to go and find... but she does a great job at collecting all the toys that get pushed under the couches and beds and she collects them all in her back pack.  Yes - Flashlight and all! 

70th Birthday for Uncle Larry

On Sunday we went to a surprise 70th birthday party for Uncle Larry.  It was pretty funny when the deer on his cake caught on fire.

Everyday life...

I am enjoying the last few weeks of fun with the little kids before baby bean gets here.  The kids seem to get a long so well... and I am enjoying everyone minute... before it all changes and they are screaming and kicking each other!

Sadly - I have to keep taking pictures of how much my kids like to clean... before this too passes :o)

 This is a great picture at showing how it really is around the house with the kids.  Green Bean wanting to be left alone and Pink Bean wanting to be so tender loving and caring. 

 Hamballs!

 Pink Bean again...

 and off they go....

Chicken....

OH... I forgot to mention...

Pink Bean is also in LOVE with Chicken Wings....

Can you tell???????

Peaches....

For most of you that follow along... might know by now that Pink Bean is in LOVE with DOGS!  Her Nana took her to get a NEW puppy and she was thrilled to say the least.  Even Green Bean had lots of giggles to offer.  Peaches had a very short visit to our house - before she went to Nana's house to live!  The kids enjoyed it and had lots of laughs.

Pink Bean - 4 years...

 Pink Bean is growing up so fast.  Her favorite things to eat are Grapes, Apples, Yogurt, M&M's, Chocolate, Starburst.  Her favorite Restaurant is Red Lobster. (only because of the Lobsters - has nothing to do with the food - even though she enjoys the calamari)  Her favorite toys are "ALL her Doggies" and all her stuffed animals.  She loves to GO all the time.  She is a wonderful big sister and plays well with her brother and LOVES helping mommy clean and work around the house.  ** I am not looking forward to the day where cleaning and work is no fun for her... because Mommy loves her little helper.  She brings such Joy to our lives and we are excited & sad to be sending her to preschool this fall.

Happenings in February...

Sadly the months are slipping away fast here at our house.  Thank you to all who still follow along our blog.  I know are our updates have been few and far between. So we will try to catch things up here over the next couple of days.  

We were so excited to surprise Grandma H. for her 80th birthday for a dinner.  Molly, Emily & Tori were our servers. 

 Singing to Grandma

 We also had Pink Bean's birthday party along with 2 other of her cousins in February. 

 Since Pink Bean is not a fan of cake on her actual birthday we put candles in her favorite kind of cookie.  It's hard to believe our little girl is already 4 years old. 

 We had a girls sleep over night & (Green Bean)... sometime in February.  We always enjoy a house full of kids

Pink Bean is in love with animals.  For her birthday we gave her a horse and it was priceless to watch how excited she was.
