Baby...

Many of you know the exciting news. We are expecting another baby, due May 1. This is a short video from a few months ago when we told Nolan and Davis that they were both going to be big brothers! Nolan is still so excited. He talks to my stomach all the time. He is anxious to feel the baby kick! Davis is also excited about another baby, he loves all babies! We hope you are all enjoying these last few days before Christmas!

Thanksgiving at Mamae & Papa D's

Thanksgiving feast! It was a perfect day with our families. We got to relax and enjoy great food.

Firek Thanksgiving

We have a lot to be thankful for this year! We have a wonderful family and 2 healthy boys. Here are a few pictures from a Thanksgiving gathering at Grandma & Grandpa Firek's house.

First Snow!!!

The first big snow of the year!!! The boys loved playing in the snow. It is rare for Michigan but we might not have a white Christmas this year. The boys are enjoying each other and playing better together everyday!

30...

Well I am now 30...yes that's right. It is still hard to believe but I am looking forward to the next 30 years! The past 30 have been filled with some of the best moments of my life. (graduating high school and college, getting married to my best friend, the births of Nolan and Davis, and many more)

If you know me well, you know that I like to be in control and in charge 99% of the time... Jason did an awesome job and pulled off a wonderful surprise party! I was in complete shock and I still am! Thanks babe for a wonderful party and birthday I will never forget it! On my actual birthday the boys made me a wonderful breakfast after they let me sleep in! Then I headed to the mall to go shopping for the afternoon, and dinner at Morton's Steakhouse. It was a perfect day.

Below are a few pictures of the picture Jason also surprised me with! It is absolutely beautiful. It is really big, 4 feet by 3 feet. The picture is extra special because the boys got to help with it. If you look close you can see feet prints in the sky of Nolan and Davis! The painter duplicated a picture that I love, it's a sunset at Burt lake! Thank you to all my friends and family for making my birthday so special. I am lucky to have all of you in my life everyday. Enough about my birthday. I hope you all have a wonderful week!

The 3 sisters! Meg and Emily...I am so lucky to have you as sisters and best friends. I don't know what I would do without either of you! I can't wait for all the fun times still ahead! Meg I am so happy you are back in Michigan! Now we can see you all the time. I love you both. xoxo

Yard work

The boys love to be outside and they love to help their dad! Just a few pictures of the boys just working around outside. We are enjoying the weather before it starts to snow!

We missed you...

A few weeks ago Jason went hunting for a week with Chilman. The boys and I missed him like crazy! Here is a picture of the boys with the 9 point Chilman got in Missouri. It was late at night when daddy got home so the boys are in their pj's! We tried to keep our selfs busy while dad was gone. We stayed with mamae and papa D a few nights, visited with all our friends, and even Aunt Im came up to stay with us at our house a few nights! Davis really missed his daddy. At least one time a day he would have a major melt down and start screaming and crying for his dada. (It was so sad to watch.) Needless to say we were ready with open arms when dad came home!!!
