Keepin' Busy

The boys have been keepin’ busy despite these cold, winter days. Alex is taking swim lessons through Swim America and is doing very well. It lasts two straight weeks but hopefully he is becoming more comfortable in the water as a swimmer. He has two more indoor soccer games and really seems to enjoy it. I’m so glad he had some kind of activity to get him through this winter!

My sweet Alex :)

Sean is just full of life lately! Everything is about the color GREEN. He’s also been working with a speech pathologist at daycare a couple times a week and his speech is really improving. He has trouble pronouncing certain sounds but he’s really been working hard the last few weeks and Sondra makes it fun for him! I was able to sit in on his session today and Sean was so excited to show me what he’s learning and all the fun games!

My little camouflage boy!

So we made a deal with the boys for a chance to earn themselves a special toy. Alex takes after his Momma and bites his nails. We told him that if he stops biting his nails for a month, he will earn a trip to the toy store. Sean's deal was that he had to poop on the big boy potty to earn a special toy. We had enough of cleaning out that baby seat!! Just like that, both boys held up their end of the deal and we were at Toys R Us picking out a new Lego set! Yay!

Yay for the Michna boys!

It's a root beer float and sundae kind of day!

My two sweethearts on Valentine's Day!

Sledding Fun

Alex and Sean had some fun this afternoon on the sledding hill with their cousins, Hailey, Logan and Tyler. They all have a blast when they are together and it’s fun to see the comradery between them. It’s true that cousins are like best friends and it’s days like these that they will cherish for years to come!

Sledding fun with the cousins!

Hailey and Seanie riding down together!

Seanie knew he would have a ride UP the hill too if he went down with Daddy!

Alex is havin' a ball!

These two are pure joy!

We celebrated Papa Bob's birthday last weekend so the cousins were together once again. Papa Bob felt the birthday love as his Lucky Seven sang Happy Birthday to him and helped blow out his candles! We hope you are enjoying your birthday week in Jamaica, Grandpa! We love you!!!

Happy Birthday Papa Bob!

We met Grandma Michna for lunch this past weekend at La Perla which was a nice treat! The boys could eat bean burritos any day of the week! Grandma treated us to the Purple Door for some yummy ice cream! Thanks for a nice afternoon, Grandma! We love you!!!

Just sippin' on my Margarita :)

On his way to getting a brain freeze!

My two silly boys :)

My Sweet Grandma

Heaven just gained another angel as my Grandma of 93 years passed away this weekend. It's never easy saying good-bye, but it's comforting knowing that she is finally reunited with my Grandpa!

She taught us so much in life and she was one of the strongest women I have ever known. I feel unbelievably fortunate that Alex and Sean got the chance to know and love their "GG." She was a huge part of all of our lives and she will be dearly missed!
