Baby Nolan!

I am proud to announce the birth of my new nephew, Nolan Joseph Nordby!  He was born on February 24th at 6: 39 PM.  He was 8 lbs and 14 ounces and 21 3/4 inches long.  We went home this weekend to see him, and had a baby shower for Laura.  He is so adorable, the girls absoulutely love him. 

Bowling!

The Preschool went bowling this week for a family activity.  Allyx had gotten her shots earlier in the afternoon so she stayed home with Dusty, and I took Brooke bowling.  The kids had a great time!  They got to bowl as much as they wanted, eat pizza, and of course be silly with their friends.  Brooke seemed more interested in sliding on the floor in her socks than actually bowling :)

We had a nice time, it was something Brooke has never done before.  Little kids are so enthusiastic, I wish I had that much energy again. 

Wonderful weather in February

This week has been great for February.  I now remember another reason why I love summer so much, the girls get to play outside.  Winter has its benefits also, but being cooped up in the house is not my favorite.  A few days ago the girls where playing outside and riding their little vehicles.  Brooke took the barbie bike and went flying down the hill.  Allyx didn't pay close attention to how she got to the bottom and she tried to ride the firetruck down the steps.  Needless to say it didn't work very well.  She got up and was fine, I did think it was pretty funny! 

Play time!

Last week Aubrey stayed with Grandma and Grandpa for several days.  Brooke was very excited b/c she loves to play with her cousin!

Brooke and Allyx got to go to Grandma's to play with Bree, but one evening she came down to our house.  They had so much fun and were very busy playing! It is a goal of mine this summer to take the girls and visit all of their cousins more often.  I loved playing with my cousins when I was growing up and want the girls to be close to theirs as well.   

Random Pictures

Since I don't have many pictures up yet I thought I would add some today,

they are random and not in any particular order!

New Adventure!

I really enjoy looking at my sister-in-laws blogs and thought I might try this as well.  It is going to take me awhile to get the hang of things, so maybe you will get a good laugh along the way!
