Olivia's 6th birthday party! :)

Olivia's 6th birthday party was today! Before her party, we went and had our family pictures taken.
Her birthday party was a great turn out! The picture with Olivia and the little boy is matthew, she says he is her "boyfriend" His mother came up to me and said that Matthew has come home saying he's going to marry Olivia when he grows up. lol. too funny!
I will be posting more pictures to snapfish

Snow day! Can it be Spring Already!?

Olivia had a snow day yesterday so the kids and I took advantage of the warmer temps in the afternoon and played out in the snow! We had a lot of fun building a snowman and sledding! :)

On March 16 Channing will go and get screened for preschool. A few months ago he was screened and qualifies under the Peoria county preschools but I would really like for him to attend the same preschool that Olivia attended. He is very excited and can't wait for school! He is also very excited for Spring to arrive so he can ride his spiderman bike that Santa brought for him!
He has been quite the character. He does such silly things to make us laugh!

Good times!

The Gunnarson family stopped by for lunch yesterday. Unfortunately, Olivia could not be taken out of school so she missed in on lunch at Chuck E cheese. :(
Olivia is home from school today. She was throwing up last night and said it was from the lunch she ate at school. She is acting fine. The boys and I are getting ready for story time at the library. Olivia will be staying home with her daddy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was spent relaxing at home! The kids enjoyed a candy treat along with some movies. They all are getting over colds and now I think I'm catching onto it. Olivia had her Valentine's day party at school last Thurs. She got to make out all of the Valentine's to her class! She had fun reading the names of her friends and passing them out at school! My dad came over to watch the boys so I could help out w her party!
Hard to believe her Birthday is coming up and then Easter! She picked out a beautiful Easter Dress and now we have to find something for the boys to wear so we can get pictures done.
For Valentines day the kids made us a card and I recieved some Diamond ear rings. caught me off gaurd that's for sure..

Mommy/daughter day!

Today was Olivia's day out with mommy! We left the boys w/daddy and went shopping! Olivia has been wanting some new dresses and bc Santa forgot to bring her some I let her pick out her own! She found some really cute ones! Now we can't wait for Spring! ;) Olivia had so much fun trying the dresses on in the fitting room! After some shopping I let her pick where we went for lunch. She chose The Olive Garden! We had a delicious lunch and Olivia and I had a great time talking and bonding!
Our last stop was the mall! we bought a few more outfits and shoes and then I gave her the choice to go to Toys R us to pick out any toy that she would like but instead, she wanted to go to the Build a Bear and make a bear!
We had a great day!!! :)

The kids and I have been going stir crazy and we are ready for winter to be over. Yesterday, was olivia's first time being back to school since a week but then recieved a snow day today. we got up to 6 inches of snow today. The roads were pretty clear so we went to Chuck E Cheese! I can't WAIT for summer to get here! It can't come fast enough!
Olivia's birthday party is coming up soon! Olivia is getting so excited for her birthday party!!!

Monster Jam

Channing and I had a great time watching the Monster trucks! We stopped and had dinner at Steak n Shake and made our way over. Channing's reaction was just what I expected! He was defintely surprised!! :) He loved it!
He woke up this morning with a fever though, He caught Olivia's cold.

update.

Olivia has been home from school for the third day this week. Tues morning she woke up with a really nasty cough. I called in her absence to the school and that whole day she acted fine. She went to school Wed and came home coughing more then ever. Kept her home on thurs as she had a slight fever, coughing runny nose. Today, we are going to the Dr she has been complaining of her chest hurting. :( I hate when kids are sick. Makes me very sad bc I know how miserable they feel.

Olivia celebrated her 100th day of school last week. I wish I would have went in and took some pictures. She brought in 100 googly eyes!! At first she wanted to bring in 100 Mcdonalds happy meal toys and at one point we probably could have but I threw out almost all the happy meal toys over our last garage sale season. she has a very creative mind! :)

The boys are just as ornery as ever. Gavin seems to be bully more and more each day. He's unpredictable.
Channing is so excited for his suprise tomorrow night! I'm taking him to his first Monster truck show!

Olivia had her little cheerleader for a week this past week and loved it. She got to perform at the high school basketball game!
Mike celebrated his 35th birthday this past weekend. He wanted to sing karaoke so we went out and celebrated.
My granny is in the hospital. They did exploratory surgery to figure out what's been going on and found she has Krohns disease. Surgery went well and she's recovering.
Kids are doing well. I'm taking Channing on a mommy/son day this saturday. We are going to watch the Monster Jam at the Civic Center. He has no idea so it's going to be a great surprise for him! I can't wait! :)
