March Snow Day

We had a snow day the end of March. We got about half the snow they had expected us to get, thankfully. Spring is sure taking it's sweet time!!

2011 :: So far...

Okay, my last post was about Christmas. Wasn't it JUST December? I can't believe we're only one calendar flip away from Easter! This year is flying by!

Here's what we've been up to.


New Year's Eve, we spent the night together at home.


New Year's Day, we went to see "Tangled". Cute show. Delaney's first movie in the theater.


Loving my mixer I got for Christmas!


Playing with all our Christmas gifts, including this kitchen from Grandma Diane.


Delaney is in LOVE with the Grinch. He sings and bobs his head. Most all of the other kids are scared of him, but she puts diapers on him, feeds him bottles and sleeps with him almost every night.


Celebrated Kara's 20th birthday with her!
How can she possible be 20 years old? When I was 20, she was 9!!!


Getting mail!


Hudson turned 4! Pizza, games, gifts, family & friends. Fun celebration for a sweet boy!
Also, just signed him up for pre-school in the fall. One more birthday and he'll be old enough for Kindergarten. How can he be that big already!??!


Daycare is still going well. My two kids and five other sweeties every day.
Busy, but great!


August 2011, we will become a family of FIVE!! This picture was taken at 10 weeks. I will be 17 weeks next Monday. He or she is due to arrive on August 29th. We are excited and anxious to meet the newest Lach! Blessed!! This BIG project has been taking a lot out of me. Blogging was about the last thing on my list, but I've started feeling more human and hope to stay caught up. :)

Christmas X 4

Christmas #1: Lach Adult Christmas
Since there are so many people, the last 3 years, we've celebrated Christmas with the Lach adults one night with a nice dinner and gift exchange. It makes Christmas Eve about the kids, and cuts down on about half of the gifts to open in one night. I, however, didn't bring my camera this year. So, no pictures to post.

Christmas #2: Woodard Christmas
With my Dad, Mom, and Kristin not living here, it was my family and my sister, Kara. This was the first of the gifts for the kids and they really enjoyed opening. This year, they both "got" it.








Kara, the spoiler, bought way too many gifts for her niece and nephew!!







The kids each got a fun dress-up trunk from Grandpa Jim and Aunt Kristin.















The kids opening my gift from my whole family.


My new mixer! I LOVE IT!!

Christmas #3: Christmas Eve with the Lach gang
We went to church, then to Grandma & Grandpa's for supper. After we finished eating, the kids opened their gifts.


Blurry, but we have proof we were there. :)


This year, it was Hudson's turn to lay baby Jesus in the manger.












Delaney and cousin Tiecyn showing off their new Ponies.

Later that night...

We put out snacks for Santa and his reindeer.


Santa got pretzel hugs and chocolate milk.
The reindeer got carrots, bread and water.


SANTA CAME!!


He even left stockings for Mommy and Daddy!


They must have enjoyed their snack.




Drinks were gone, too.


Hudson got a Leapster Explorer from Santa.








Delaney got a doll house from Santa.




We stayed in our pajamas the WHOLE day! Christmas at home was nice and relaxing. Here we are eating out steak and cheesy potatoes by candle light.


(And, Hudson needed to eat the Frosty that he spied leftover in the freezer.)

We had a wonderful holiday season and can't believe how fast it flew by!
