I received these pictures from Taylor's teacher today. They got to make their own pizzas for lunch. So cute. So grateful that she gets to attend a school/daycare while I am at work that is such a wonderful environment. Being a working mom is tough - but knowing that she is having fun and learning lots makes it so much easier!</div>

Monday was "nerd day"...he was all over that! haha. I failed to get pictured the other days - but he sure did love getting into the spirit.<br />

<br />
Olivia and Ryan went to the Daddy Daughter Dance. She just loves this and totally eats up the attention. This girl is such a little poser. These pics are all unprompted. No idea where she gets this behavior from?! ;)<br />
<img src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/12552360_185837508442784_1409784558_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTE3NDk1MzUwMTU1NDUzODM0Ng%3D%3D.2" /><br />
<br />
My little beauty isn't so little any more. This will probably be her last solo Daddy Daughter Dance with her daddy - as Taylor will be old enough to join next year!<br />

Mary and I went to Tip Up Town. Its an annual tradition. So much fun - pretty much just a giant winter beer tent on/near the ice. Woo hoo for a day/night with no responsibilities. We can't hang like we used to though!<br />

<b>What we're eating:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday I made this. Which I found <a href="http://damndelicious.net/2015/05/02/baked-caprese-chicken/">here </a>- and it was amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Baked Caprese Chicken - Amazingly crisp-tender chicken baked with melted mozzarella and topped with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic reduction!" height="640" src="http://damndelicious.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6510edit.jpg" width="425" /></div>

Tuesday I had a meeting - so the kids just had a quick dinner of stuff that we had :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesday I made Chicken Fajitas - yum.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday we had spaghetti - meh to me - but Liv begs for it every.single.day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryan is still kicking a$$ with loosing weight - me, not so much. I am slowly (VERY slowly) shedding - but I need to kick myself into gear soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm in the middle of this. I like these series - but after 22 they all sound about the same. Oh well, its a good, easy read :)</div>

No time to write much of a post today - but since I have neglected my blog for years, I can just post a few pictures from this past fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taylor wasn't really into posing for the photographer - but she was fine if she was with me. In retrospect that worked out great - because now I have this picture of the two of us!</div>

We had an awesome weekend! It was a perfect Michigan Winter Weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had Friday off of work, so the kids and I, along with my mom and dad went to see Norm of the North! Very cute - and the kids loved it :).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday we were able to get out and do some ice fishing. Ryan has been dying to get out on to the lake. Prior to this weekend there has not been enough ice - and now there is so he is in heaven!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He caught two fish - so not a success - but we had fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/12545245_1692144057720471_1098890389_n.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe someday Blake will grow into these teeth ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole family got out there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what ice fishing meant to me - enjoying a nice frosty beer and watching them have fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/12552227_1715087532040109_2067021349_n.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prior to the lake we went to the library. They had a "Zoo to You" program where they brought animals to the library. My kids acted like angels, so that was a bonus. Both Livi and Blake touched the snake -nasty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Taylor just took it all in!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday we went to church as a family, relaxed, and had dinner at the in-laws.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall - a great weekend!</div>

I love Timehop - although it does make me a little sentimental every singe day when I see pictures of how much my kids have changed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much has changed since these pictures were posted 4 years ago. Blake would have been 3 and Liv would have just turned 1. Taylor was just a glimmer in our eyes at this point!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus this picture was taken in our old house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to go back to our old house - but I DO miss these two being so tiny and precious :).</div>

I have been really trying to do a good job with my meal planning and prepping for the week. I find that when I have dinner planned out each night, our evenings are so much less stressful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryan and I are both trying to eat healthy and cut calories - so meal planning and prep can help us to stay on track.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the beginning of the year he has lost SO much more weight than I have. How is it that men can just drop pounds - and it is so much harder for women?! NOT fair. I have been slowly shedding - but an only down about 2 pounds since the beginning of the year. We are going to Florida in April - so I would love to be more comfortable in a bathing suit by then...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since I was such a good blogger when Blake was a toddler and so good about documenting Olivia's baby years - and so BAD about documenting anything for poor Taylor - today's blog post is dedicated 100% to TAYLOR.......here's Taylor Tuesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(poor third child :))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taylor is 2.5 now. She and her dad are as close as close can be. She's certainly a daddy's girl. He spoils her rotten. Not sure if it is because of her personality - or because she is the "baby."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sad that for the first time in 7+ years we no longer have a baby in the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xft1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/12446226_206097859737273_18430030_n.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taylor is in the Tike's room at "baby school" (daycare). She is thriving. She goes 4 full days/week. She loves her friends and teachers. My sister is the center director - so I know that Tay gets special treatment from her Aunt Mary - and I get pictures and snap-chats throughout the day :).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xft1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/12558264_1076537542368701_1558125357_n.jpg" width="368" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As of December she is just about 100% potty trained. We do still use a diaper at nap time and at bed time - but during the day she is in underpants! Unlike the first two kids, I didn't really "potty train" her - it just kind of happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpf1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/10954684_1645160212402041_1303721068_n.jpg" width="324" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her hair is still very curly - which I love. As it gets longer it is starting to get straighter - but in this picture I straightened it with the straightening iron.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xft1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/926626_1531626553831072_1435502682_n.jpg" width="357" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is such a happy girl :).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its funny how we "parent" her so differently than we did with our first two. We are so much more relaxed this time around - but she seems to be turning out just fine. Ha.</div>

As I get back into the blogging swing of things, I am going to try to come up with some topics that I can focus on each week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will start this Monday with BOOKS...because we love to read.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivia and I went to our library yesterday to pick out some books for the week. The kids and I read a book each night before bed. We LOVE the library.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpf1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/12558281_450787875115591_1037823978_n.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After putting the kids to bed, I finished up Never Never part 1 last night. I have loved the other Colleen Hoover books that I have read - but I did not love this one. Her other books have been love stories (some a bit on the racy side) - but this one was just odd. I will probably read parts 2 and 3, because I need to know what happens - but I'm not really feeling it right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1428934147l/24378015.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blake is obsessed with the Magic Tree House series. We are currently on book #35 and we have read each book consecutively starting with book #1. I am ready for a change of pace- but he loves this series. We read a chapter or two per night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivia's pick last night was Pinkalicios. Liv is ALL GIRL so these books are right up her alley. Taylor liked it too :).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It just took me about 20 minutes to remember and retrieve my password to even log in to do a post! I guess that tells me that it has been WAY TOO LONG! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I often have good intentions of posting on my blog - but have not gotten around it it in virtually YEARS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2016 is a new year - and maybe (just maybe) I can commit to coming back and posting regular updates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The most recent pictures of our family of 5 are here:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blake is now 7</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivia is 5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taylor is 2.5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That seems unreal even to me now, as I type that. I started this blog to document Blake's life when he was a baby - and he is a 1st grader. Unbelievable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I have the capabilities of actually logging in - you may here a bit more from me :).</div>

It was a long time coming. Now we are enjoying long day on the lake. This weekend was beautiful. My babies sure do love to swim and be on the water!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Saturday we had a birthday party for Taylor Marie (a week late). I still cannot believe that my baby is one. Waaahhhhh.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The little sweetie had a great day celebrating at the lake with a BBQ, cake, and presents. I sure so love her!!</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello out there…..I am sure that I have lost 99.9% of my
loyal blog followers…but I have had a few people NOTICE that I haven’t blogged
in 4+ months…so I am going to try to make an effort to get back into the swing
of things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Poor third child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
is here, she is healthy, and she is perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She will suffer the same fate as many “babies of the family” have
faced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first child had a FULL baby
book, pictures, posts, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second child
has been pretty well covered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The poor
third…..here we are, she is 12 weeks old….and there is NOTHING to document her
first few months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bad mom, ugh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s a good thing that she is so laid back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Funny how you can tell their little baby personalities
right off the bat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Taylor Marie was born
into this world on June 13 at 2 something (see I don’t even know) in the
afternoon a perfect beautiful baby girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">She is already different than our other babies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has brown hair, she is plump, she has her own little look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I already cannot imagine our life without her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could just squeeze her!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least
respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up

After 20+ hours in the car we made it to Florida at about 2p.m. on Saturday. Ahhhh.....what a beautiful site. The kids could not WAIT to get their bathing suits on and RUN out to the beach!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO cute and fun to watch their excitement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blake is a beach lover...Liv prefers to stick to the pool (takes after her mama). The sand kind of grosses her out. She would RUN out there...and then RUN - at full speed - right back up to the steps to the pool. lol.</div>

We have been having the craziest weather in Michigan. It has been raining buckets (literally) for 2 weeks, and this morning we woke up to SNOW?! This is just after a 65 degree sunny day that we had yesterday.<br />
<br />
We have been under Flood Advisory Warnings for weeks. Co-workers and friends have flooded basements. Luckily we have not. But this is NUTS.<br />
<br />
Blake was beyond excited and said "ITS WINTER" when he woke up this morning, followed by a "I CANT WAIT TO PLAY OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW AFTER SCHOOL TODAY"....poor thing, he doesn't realize that it will be gone by then.<br />
<br />
I will admit that my views from my room were pretty this morning....but I would have enjoyed them in December, NOT on April 24th!!<br />

Ha, no really...I need to get back in the swing of posting daily, but have been caught up in the daily grind and haven't had a chance to be on here much. I will work on it...promise. <br />
<br />
I NEED to anywho....because this 3rd baby is going to be here (less than 8 weeks) and I need to start documenting. Not fair to the 3rd if Blake and Liv have post upon post and then the 3rd one is neglected :(.<br />
<br />
Work has been crazy busy....impending maternity leave, lots of summer programs to plan for, promotion (yay me)....so my blog-at-work time is next to nil right now.<br />
<br />
I have lots of pictures to blog from our trip to Florida this month, so I will get on that soon...but need to upload them first.<br />
<br />
For now, I will leave you with a couple instagram pics that I can pull from my phone!!<br />
<br />
These are from the way to Florida. We drove...20+ hours, a 4 year old, a 2 year old, a 30+ week preggers mama, a dad with road rage....it was a joy. J/K....it actually wasn't bad at all...and I would totally do it again this weekend if we could!!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Last week Liv's class went to the Childrens Museum for a field trip! She loved it of course. Highlights were riding the bus to get there, playing in the water, running from exhibit to exhibit. She was just a ball of energy (per usual).<br />
<br />
I got to go...and Ryan even stopped in for a bit. It's fun to see her interact with her friends. She sure is a social little thing!!<br />

develop as well. Also, his nostrils are beginning to open. Your baby now has

advances in medicine. The premature baby could survive in an incubator for few
months. Her taste buds are forming, and she may be developing a weakness for
