Oops, I have been slacking!!

Wow it has been a long time since I posted an update. Shame on me!! I guess life went and I followed and it has taken me this long to get my stuff together. Oh well! Anyway well we have had Easter, basement progress, and Sophia's fifth birthday since my last post. Yes my baby girl is five -- I can't believe it. It went by so fast. She grew up in a hurry. Here is her baby picture taken at Marquette General Hospital when she was born and we were almost ready to go home.


Sophia Paige Shovald 6 lbs. 15 oz. 19 1/2 inches long


....and here is she is five years later
45 lbs. 8 oz.
45 1/2 inches tall

Here she is showing off her birthday outfit :-) She loves tutu's


I took the kids to a place called Monkey Joe's a month or so back. It is an inflatable air place. They had a ball. This was their favorite thing. It is a 20 foot slide. They both climbed up 20 feet and slid down countless times.



Yes that little body up there is my Duker!!!

This is the basement with framed walls. We are getting there.

This was just before they were actually framing. They were figuring out how to
lay out each wall.

Easter pictures....
Duke decided to go hulk style. Yes this came off a few days later.

Sophia ready to dig in.

Cameron digging in.

Who needs spoons and those tools that come with the kits to get your eggs out of the cup,
just use your hand!

Things around here are busy as usual. Cameron is the bat boy for the JV baseball team and loving every minute of it. He has an absolute blast. Now his team in ready for summer ball. They will begin their tournaments this weekend with a scrimmage against Ashwaubenon. I'm excited :-) Sophia is all set for Kindergarten. She had her doctors appointment today, got four shots -- she cried at the last two, but man was she a trooper!!! She is getting ready for softball and swimming lessons. Duke is also going to take swimming lessons, that will be interesting! But it will give him something to look forward to everyday for three weeks. Joe is busy with work. He is ready for warm weather since he is outside every single day of the year. Poor guy I want warm weather for him as well. I am just running around with the kids getting them where they need to go every day! WE are ready for summer!!!!
