Mixed Prints Life

Because this is a family blog, I won’t get into the selfishness of humanity that I saw displayed this year at Dominick’s. With that being said, Charlie got plenty of eggs, enjoyed a delicious chocolate donut and a free box of Peeps. We’ll take it! Ready to go…. Trying to maintain order. Which was not working. He’s so good at… View Post

My mom always has a fantastic brunch meal for Easter and we enjoy ham sandwiches and some breakfast-y goodies! Then, the kids go on an Easter Egg Hunt, find baskets and we usually take some time to fly their new kites (I heart & miss Aunt Joan).  Just a few pictures from our fun at my mom’s house…

Happy Easter from our family to yours.

In the past few months, Charlie has started to blossom even more! I thought I’d take a few minutes to write down some of my favorite Charlie things and to update a bit on his abilities! His newest favorite food is “Duh-mpuh-lings.” I made them once, Daddy & he scarfed them down and he has asked for them ever since… View Post

Yes, that is my 2 year old enjoying little brother’s seat.

Daddy & Charlie frequently play in the Paint application on the computer… Mommy & Jack were victims last night…

We attended our first egg hunt of the season this past Saturday and opted to head our to our new church – Westbrook Christian. With over 7,000 eggs, Charlie was able to capture 32 while the older kids headed out to find the special prize eggs! He immediately wanted the Reese’s PB Cups (a boy after his mommy’s heart) and… View Post

It’s not even mid-April and we’ve already had our fair share of park days. I have a strong feeling we will be living there this summer! This time, we joined the Cousins (my brother’s kids) for fun in the sun at the Park near my parents house…what fun!  Anytime the cousins get together is pure, unadulterated craziness…. Getting into stuff….  … View Post

For Charlie’s birthday, Momma & Poppy went half-in on a full year membership to the Oak Lawn Children’s Museum for our family. We have gone twice since then and we LOVE it!  We were able to meet up with Auntie Kooks, Uncle Jason and Jasie for Jasie’s first birthday this past Friday and we all (including the daddies) had a… View Post

Tonight, we enjoyed yummy Pizza for a Purpose and Mint Brownie Blast Pie from our niece & nephews’ school. Both were delicious and the movie of choice was The Incredibles (never before seen for Charlie!) Charlie really enjoyed the “Cre-ih-bulls.”

If you’ve ever seen the movie, The Hangover, then you know this quote well (modified for our family). Said by Zach Galifianakis in the movie. Thanks to my friend, Becky, for making Jack this awesome shirt! Daddy tended to think of himself as a one-man wolf pack…  But then daddy brought mommy home and knew that she was one of… View Post
