Happy Valentime's Day!

According to Hannah it was Valentime's Day!
Today was a fun day! Hannah had a great day at pre-school where they all gave eachother Valentine's day cards. I was so proud of her because she signed all the cards all by herself. She has very nice handwriting so far. She also made me the cutest Valentine Card.
Josh and I don't typically celebrate Valentine's Day. But today I was surprised when I got home...I had received a dozen long stem red roses and the sweetest card. It was so lovely and thoughtful of him. I really enjoyed today and I felt very loved! I hope everyone else had a Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Long time no post!

I know its been awhile for a new post. I guess I have been a little busy. I recently changed my schedule and after 3 years of working nights 3pm-11pm. I am now working the day shift 7am-3pm. Its been a hard adjustment for me (mornings aren't my best time)! The kids on the other hand are loving life. My dear friend Stacy is watching the kids for me while I'm at work and they both love her. She has a huge house with tons of toys and freedom to run and play. Stacy has 3 kids, Bryson (8) Carsen (4) and Ella (3) the younger 2 are at home during the day and are a perfect match for Hannah. They love Marshall even though he's still a little young for them. Everyday that I've picked up the kids Hannah doesn't want to come home, thats how much fun its been for her. I have to say being a working Mom is probably the hardest challenge I've had so far in my life. I would give anything to be a full time stay at home Mom. Its just not feasible for us right now. I know its hard for Josh too. For several years we've worked alternating schedules to care for the kids but we have come to realize how much we missed each other. It really has been nice to sit down and have dinner together and have family time besides on the weekends. I know in time it will get easier...and this too shall pass. I'll just have to be patient. Its worth it though...my family means everything to me.

Snow Day!

We had our first big snow on Wednesday. We got about 4 inches. We couldn't wait to see Marshall's reaction since this was really his first experience with the white stuff!Hannah really wanted to be a helper and pull Marshall on the sled.
Hannah loved the snow.


Marshall was loving it until he saw me with the camera.
What a hotty!
This was a little creativity on Daddy's part!

Then we went inside for some "Hot Chocolate".


Yummy!

Parenting Moment!

This is one of those moments that is so classic!

Christmas Day at the Case's!

So after we opened presents at our house we went over to Josh's parents house and opened MORE presents. Chris and Ashley gave Josh a picture of him with his favorite baseball player Cal Ripken Jr.
This is a picture of 3 generations of Case's given to Grandpa by us.

Marshall, Josh, and his Dad all when they were about 4 months old.

This was a tear jerker for sure.

Josh was so tired from all the work of unwrapping presents.

Of course a Christmas sweater!
Josh's stocking stuffers!
This is a bowl we got for Chris and Ashley it was from their wedding registry.

How do you wrap a bowl? Just like that!

Christmas Morning at our house!

For the first time, Hannah snook downstairs Christmas morning to peak at her presents! When she realized she got what she asked Santa for she came upstairs so excited and told Josh and I. She was busted! It was so cute to see her reaction and I must say a part of me was proud of her for being like every other inquisitive child. These are the moments that I love! Santa put a Tinker Bell umbrella in Hannah's stocking.
Marshall loved his first Christmas! Santa was good to him.
Baseball Baby!
Hannah was a natural playing her first V-tech video game.

Christmas Eve Festivities!

We had a gathering out our home on Christmas Eve. We had Grandma Sher and Grandpa, Chris & Ashley, and Cherie & Nick. We had tons of food and yummy treats.
Hannah was so excited to wear her pretty Christmas dress and twirl in it.
Ashley, Chris, and Grandma Sher snuggling on the sofa.
Nick was such a good sport and read Hannah a Christmas Story.

Our Entertainment for the evening. A jam session in my living room. They played all sorts of fun songs.

Jenny was waiting for Marshall to drop his Cheerio's so she could have a snack.
