Easter Weekend Recap

Friday- We hung out at the house most of the day. We only got out of the house to visit the Easter bunny and get Haylee a pair of sandals to go with her Easter dress.

Saturday- We began the day with a BIG breakfast. It was so delicious! It has been awhile since Travis has been home with us on a weekend. We really enjoyed it. After breakfast, Haylee and mommy went to get an Easter pedicure. We both had a great time. Haylee picked out her color all by herself. She chose purple. Later in the day we dyed eggs and Haylee helped mommy bake a cake. We also watched Briley and Kayelyn.

Sunday- Haylee woke up excited to see if the Easter bunny brought her jelly beans! We checked out our baskets from the Easter bunny and had a small egg hunt at our house before church. Travis stayed home with Madi who wasn't feeling well. She had been up most of the night before coughing. She had a lot of drainage. Haylee and I went to church with Grandpa and Grandma Glowacz, Uncle Dave and Aunt Kristen, and her cousins Addisyn and Audrey. We went over to the Brewer's for Easter lunch. It was a low key Easter and we enjoyed every bit of it!

This morning Haylee woke up with a fever and cough. I decided to make her an appointment along with Madi to see the doctor. Madison has an ear infection in both ears and chest congestion. She weighs 10 pounds 13 ounces. Right now I am treating Haylee for a fever. After her and nap we have to go back to the doctor to drop off a urine sample for her. She possibly has a urinary infection. Haylee weighs 25 pounds and she is proud of it! So, it certainly has been busy at our house. I am thankful that it is just a 4 day week for me! We have a low key weekend ahead of us and the next weekend we are going to Sea World! I can't wait!

Happy Easter!

Happy Valentine's Day

Travis spent the day helping his dad at the beach house. When he arrived home I had a yummy dinner ready to eat. I finally broke out the china after 4 1/2 years of marriage. We all had a good time and enjoyed spending time together. Here are a few pictures of our meal.

Our table setting!

Main Course- Linguine with Shrimp Scampi by Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa)

Dessert- Red Velvet Heart Cake with Cream Cheese icing. Don't you love my presentation??

One of my cricut creations! I love this machine (the Cricut).

Here is a silly video from our evening. I wanted to be sure and capture the moment! :o)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We wouldn't trade ours for anything in the world...even with crying babies! :o)

Four Christmases

Well, just like the movie, we also have four Christmases to celebrate! Here are some pictures from each one.

Christmas #1- Christmas Eve, Glowacz House (Jennifer's Parents)

Christmas #2- Christmas Eve, Brewer House (Travis' Parents)

Christmas #3- Christmas Morning, Our House
Christmas #4- Dec. 27th, Our House for the O'Neill Family (Jennifer's Parents)




As far as gifts, let's just say that Haylee must have been a REALLY good girl this year! Our house looks like Toys R Us! Travis and I also got everything we asked for and more. We had such a great time celebrating with each family and are so thankful for the time we spent with each other.

It was so fun watching Haylee this year. She had such a great time opening presents and seeing all of her family. She is one LOVED child. We are so blessed!

Busy Week

This week will be really busy. I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I will have lots of pictures to post next weekend from Christmas and Haylee's 2nd birthday! I can not believe that Haylee will be two on Saturday! It's true what they say, Time flies when you're having fun!

Merry Christmas!

Craft Time

Haylee was busy this past week making specials gifts for some special people. Here are a few pictures of her beautiful artwork (and cheesy smile, LOL)!

Our First Annual Cousins Cookie Party

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is bake Christmas cookies. I usually bake a double batch and give some to all of my neighbors and save a few for ourselves. This year I decided that Haylee would enjoy decorating cookies and who else better to do it with than Briley, her cousin. So, the Annual Cousins Cookie Party has been born. Next year will be exciting because we will be going from 2 kids decorating cookies to hopefully 6. We will have to plan it on a weekend when Haylee and Madi's new little cousins, Addisyn and Audrey, can come down. We will have Haylee, Madi, Addisyn, Audrey, Briley, and Kayelyn. How fun and messy! :o)

Preparations the night before!
Little aprons...

My decorated cookies (don't worry, I didn't give the girls colored icing)
The girls in their aprons!

Let the decorating begin...

The girl's cookies! YUM! ;o)

OK... Check out Melissa's blog for more pictures. It was a big mess, but a lot of fun. The girls really enjoyed themselves, the sprinkles, and licking every cookie they could. HA! The funny part was later that night Travis said something about how their cookies looked compared to how they tasted. I just started laughing, "You're eating the cookies the girls decorated?" He said, "yes ,why?" I watched them lick all over their hands and the cookies while decorating I wasn't going to let anyone actually eat them. It was hilarious.

This week at school is the most fun! The kids do projects after projects! I love this time and I am really missing it. Let me tell ya, you haven't experienced crafts until you have either painted or done a project with glitter with 20 five/six year old kids. So fun! Especially if a mess doesn't bother you. So, 6 jars of sprinkles all over hands, the floor, and hair...not a problem in my house! I am already looking forward to next year! :o)
