Wow....it's been a very long time....

***WARNING*** Picture overload.....
Click on picutre to enlarge
I must say we have been busy, with lots, and lots of snow....good grief I was beginning to believe we would never see the end of it!  But slowly but surely it is melting...

Here is a re-cap of what we have been doing the last few months...starting with February...

Here's our dog Rocky, the snow is so high
he can look over fence.

The boys played legos...






The boys played so much legos, the legos
(a couple of transformers too) were running for the hills....


We celebrated Valentines Day...

We celebrated Tiffany's 28th Birthday

Birthday Cupcakes....mmmmm

Tyler eating the sprinkles one by one

Logan going in for the second big chomp

Tiffany (Mommy) and Logan looking
at her new phone case
she got for her birthday!

Did I mention snow....
(Feb 16/11)





Still lots of snow with more in the forecast!




That brings us to March....

It all began with some flooring...
we have had this flooring for the boys rooms...
for awhile now....It was a big job...B and our friend Scott
did both rooms in one day and I think
they look great. 
Tyler's room still had carpet and
Logan's room had the original tiles
that were installed when the house
was built in 1974...they were some ugly. 

 Both rooms look good with
their new floors, now to paint...
(Ty's room above and Logan's below)


All done...
(Ty's room above and Logan's below) 

and, again more snow...
B cleared the roof, so that made
a really cool pile of snow for playing on.






The boys checking out some of Papa's
Coke collection...and of course they
want to touch everything....




Moon Dough...really??????




This stuff is really cool, you can make lots of stuff
with it and it never dries out !!! Gotta like that.


Papa got to go to pizza night at Logan's school
They have it for an early Father's Day held
in March instead of June because school is out,
so the boys can bring their dads, uncles,
or grandpa's and Logan chose to take
Papa this year.


 Logan was really happy to take
his Papa to have pizza.
After pizza they went back to the 
school to see some of the things
that they get to play with...

That brings us up to April...
April showers bring May flowers,
well no showers...just snow...
We thought we go and check on the camper
it has been a long winter, this time
last year we were already going out
on a regular basis, just no spending
the night as yet... we drove in as far as we
could go, then we walked the rest of the way...

Scott clearing a path to the camper for us

The snow was really deep and we did not spend too much time here due to the snow
Papa and the boys are outside
trying to get rid of some
of the snow...

Ok, so the boys are playing and Papa is
doing all the work...
Papa chipping the ice from the side of the
road, they had to plough our roads
twice this year due to the amount
of snow we had...it was almost 4 feet on
to the road......

The boys thought this looked fun
so they decided to give Papa a hand.


These chunks of ice are about 4" thick
Our friend Colleen helped Papa with
the big chunks, I was too busy
taking pictures to help..ha-ha






We have a new pet, well not really us
but Tiffany and the boys....
Meet Spidey Man...our new tarantula...
Both boys like him very much
and the spider likes the boys also,
the spider will go to sleep when
they are holding him, so he
feels very secure with them.
Me on the other hand I will
not hold him, I have touched him
he is very soft, but I have not
held him yet, I really
don't have the urge to hold him...he-he





Tyler really likes him he says the spider tickles him....


Mommy and  Spidey Man

We have come into the 21st Century
not only do B and I have iphones, but
we splurged and bought ipads too
they are really cool and very convenient and as you
can see even the boys get
to play games on them....technology
gotta love it!

Then came Easter...
we started the day before Easter and
decorated eggs...Papa had to
help Tyler, not because Tyler couldn't
do it but because Papa has to
help with everything...can we say
Papa's boy...



Logan showing off his egg, he put his name on it
with wax before he colored it...


Here are the eggs lined up in a nice
row,

Then there was sometime for bike riding,
notice it is April 23 and still snow on the
ground.

Gotta love puddles for cleaning the bikes
or so Tyler thinks


Rocky enjoying the Sun and Snow...
Rocky is the king of the castle...but not for long....
Tiff playing with Rocky...

Logan figured he should help Tyler wash his
bike...
After all that fun outside with riding bikes and playing
in puddles it was time to make
Easter baskets

Logan proudly showing off his basket
Tyler had to have Papa with him for his picture
but he did not want a picture of his Easter
Basket....silly boy!

and here's what the Easter Bunny left for them
needless to say we had two very
excited boys....


I would have to say that we had two very very very
happy little fellows on Easter morning
after they hunted down all their
treats....

Shovelling the snow around to help
it melt faster....can't wait for spring!

We have recently gotten back into playing darts
and Barry threw one dart dead center
of the previous dart he just threw....

It even made B laugh - fluke or what!

 
Now here we are at April 30th and
finally the snow is all gone!!


Now we gotta put away the snow shovels
and get raking the lawn....

That brings us to the end of April.  I will
follow up with May soon.
