I'm a terrible blogger...

I haven't updated our blog since July 2011. I'm a terrible blogger. But that's because my internet is such a terrible uploader. It takes me FOREVER to upload photos. And I have other things to do in addition to sit and wait for a slow upload. I put a lot of photos on Facebook, but some of my blog readers don't have Facebook. To those of you that fit in this category, I apologize. Here are some recent photos to update you all. I promise that i'll try to update this more frequently.

These are of my sweet little Blake at 19 months old. My plan was to take some adorable snowy outdoor photos for his 18 month photo shoot....but we didn't have any snow. Then I had surgery to have my tonsils removed and was down-and-out for almost a month. It didn't matter...we still didn't have any snow. On the day that I took these photos, we played outside all morning. It was a beautiful day. Carter pulled Blake around on the little inflatable sled, and pushed him down the hill in our yard. Then I pushed Carter down the hill a few times. We made snow angels and we built a snowman. Carter said "Ok, now we just need a carrot for his nose, sticks for his arms, and some eyes." He went inside to get a carrot, then placed it carefully on the snowman's face area. Blake got excited...grabbed the carrot...and took a bite. When I took the nose away from him, he proceeded to take a bite out of the snowman. Geesh. After playing, we went inside for lunch and a nap. When we woke up, it was like a spring day. Our snowman was suddenly a pile of sticks, rocks (eyes), and a half-eaten carrot. We put our spring coats on and went for a walk/bide-ride. It's been a weird winter weather-wise. I never complain about weather - afterall, I choose to live here. But, I am anxious for warm weather :) The kids look just as cute in summer clothes as they do all bundled up! But aren't these pictures SO sweet???? (Nevermind Carter's pirate eyes and crooked smile - it was sunny!)
