Let it snow, Let it snow. Let it snow.....

Good evening all....Its a cold night here in the north...Its supposed to dip down to -22 tonight....We have had a lot of snow in the past 3 days....We had a storm come through Sunday/Monday and it was still snowing today....More in the forecast for the end of the week...Well the kiddos were loving the snow mountains..as they call it...That our snow plow man created with all the snow...Great for tobogganing and sliding down...

Winter is here....

Good Morning all....Its a snowy day here in the north....It snowed all day yesterday and its still snowing....I am thinking it is here to stay...We have had some but it has got mild and melted...The boys are just itchin to get out and toboggan...I guess a good initiative to get our school work done today...Tomorrow I am having a Mommas day out...Possibly with daddy depending on work...I am going Christmas shopping and hopefully going to get it done..!!...I have some things but just need sometime to get to the mall and look at a few things...I have done some online shopping this year and its so great....Gets delivered right to your door...Can not beat that...We are getting our tree this week and I am going to decorate a gingerbread house with the boys ..Should be fun ..:)...I have to say I wrote this post Monday and did not finish it and its still snowing....lol...About 4 days in a row now and I think the forecast is snow every day until Sunday and the weekend is predicting the most snow...So I guess the title of the post was appropriate...:).Had a wonderful day out with my hubby yesterday...We did some Christmas shopping and had lunch out together ...Was such a nice day....Well until next time ....

My sweet little Naomi is 1

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet little girl who is one today...Where has the year gone...We just love you soooo much and you are such a pleasant, happy and content little girl who is LOVED so much by your brothers...

They will always be your buddies and are already protecting you from harm just a little bit every day and looking out for you...Daddy and I just love your smile and you can never wake up grumpy when we get you out of bed because you are always smiling....Children are truly such a blessing....Love you lots......

Winter fun

Hello there..It is a cloudy warmer day here in the north and perfect for sledding and making snowmen...Last Friday we got quite a bit of snow...It was a full day of blustery, snowy conditions ...So the boys have been out every day tobogganing and today the temperature is just right for building snowmen...In their attempt to build a snowman the dog Dakota is eating all their snow balls and just bugging them .....And although they say that she is a pest and bugs them all the time they do love her and just run around for hours and play with her...Its so cute to see..Truly they will be best friends....She is just still a puppy so she still jumps and nips but hopefully soon she will grow out of that and I think she is going to be a good dog...We have lost a few mittens so far as they seem to get stolen from the dog...:)...I guess we will find them when it thaws...lol....Until next time......

Pigtails

So here is my little gal sporting pigtails...I am learning all these girlie tricks and how to do hair...After 2 boys and buzz cuts I am definitely not used to doing little girls hair but I am loving it....:)

Been a long while....

Hi there all...Well it sure has been a while..We have been well just busy I guess...Life with the Dehaans never has a dull moment...:)...Well Naomi is 4 months now and we are sort getting into a routine now with just life in general...Shes sleeping a little longer at night and napping during the day longer and now we have time for a few other things like blogging....Things have been good...She is such a joy and wonderful addition to our family...The boys just LOVE her and want to hold her, kiss her and hug her all the time....I think she is very used to them...Things are good now that she is not yet getting into their STUFF yet...But I am sure they will work it all out...The boys are good as well...Growing and getting taller...We realize that when we pull out the clothes from last summer and see just how much they have grown in a year....We had some exceptionally beautiful weather here last week...On Easter weekend it reached a high of 29...Just gorgeous...But we did get some snow flurries that following week...Sooo it was way too early but it was so nice ...Will is getting busy with work which we are so thankful for...The winters here can be slow in the construction business..So this year with the early thaw and warmer weather the basements are in and things are getting going just a bit earlier...Well that's about all new here with us I am hoping to post a lot more and will post some pics soon.....Until next time.....
