Nifty, Nifty...Look Who's Fifty!!!

Okay, so I'm a little late on getting this post up, just like I'm a little late with her card and gift, but it's because she's such a slave driver! Anyways, the Wilson's (all of us) just wanted to give a little shout out to Big-Shirl! Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great year! Thanks for everything you do for us!!! Don't worry...that perfect gift is on it's way!

TGIS - It's a New Week!

Yep, that's right, TGIS - Thank Goodness It's Sunday. You see, my weeks begin on Sunday and run through Saturday, so today starts a new week and although I know it could be worse, I'm going to be more optimistic. I'm not sure that I made the right choice in deciding to teach this semester because although I don't know what it feels like when you're drowning...I imagine it feels much like what I felt like for the last 144 hours - yep that's six full days. You see we started our pre-season training on Monday. I went to spinning, looking forward to getting back at working out to come home and find a note from my husband on the door. Sweet, right? Nope...the babysitter was sick and he had the babies at the office...I needed to come right away. Lucky for me, on only my second day of teaching, I had to take the boys to work with me all day. It was a mess. And it seemed like the week got progressively worse as it rolled on. I feel like I don't have time for anything anymore. I mean I love my job, but these boys are my life. Between wrtiing pre-season workouts, contacting recruits, working on Pointer Pups, house cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. how to I fit my boys in...not just A&B, but Josh too. I'm so frustrated and hope that we will slowly figure something out that will become more manageable for us because I am a perfectionist. Everything has to be done well, and I cannot stand when I do a job that isn't up to my standards. So here's to a cleaner house, better classes, a more organized mom and spending time with the three (make that four...can' leave Atlas out) most important boys in my life! Here's to a good....NO....GREAT week! Enjoy the pics.

My Messy Marvins!Starting to like their jumperoo and exersaucer a little more!Hanging in their crib!

The Cadillac!

In case you're looking for the perfect double stroller, I think I've found it. We recently won the Bumbleride Indie Twin off of ebay and absolutely love it. It has so many great features, and very few cons. The one disappointment was probably the sunshades...they're a little small and don't have great coverage for the boys right now (since they're still so small), but being in Wisconsin and going into fall I don't think that will be much of a problem for us. Some of our favorite things about it are: parent cup holder, add-on snack trays for the boys, super cushy seats, foot muffs for the cold, big basket underneath, adjustable push bar, five-point harness, carseat compatible, looks nice and it's magical. Yep that's right, magical. The boys sleep every time we go for a ride.

See...I told you it was magic!

Labor Day Party....Finally!

We had a great time at the Wilson's Annual Labor Day party. Thanks to all of our friends who made the trip. It was so great to see all of you...especially those we don't get to see too often. Sorry for the delay in posting these...maybe I'll get to another post why it took so long.

Anna giving Brody kisses...I didn't get a great shot here.Andy and Tammy...Man we miss you guys!!!

Anna thought Bubba's corn was D-E-L-I-S-H!

Anna and Madisyn were so cute together all day!

My Girls!!! I love you guys!! Look at Shak's cute little basketball!

Brody and Madisyn took a spin in the Cadillac.

One big happy family...who we don't get to see enough of!!!

Anna with some corn on her face...so cute!

My Barneveld Clan - Thanks so much for coming up you guys! It was great seeing you all!

Just hanging out.

I LOVE these!

Sorry for the massive amount of posts today, but that's what happens when you get behind and finally go back to work. I needed to catch up a little, so make sure you check them all out! A friend, nbjenni, from the nest multiples board, gave me this great website for enhancing pictures. I had a little fun with it.

A picture from a while back

Aidan LOVES carrots...I wish we could get Brody to eat them (or anything) too!

Brody was tired of throwing curve balls at the Brewer party!

What??? No Tickets???

We had tried planning a get-together with our friends from college to hit up a Brewer game last weekend. We started the planning way back in July, and were really excited about it. So Josh and I loaded up the boys and trekked down to Milwaukee in our Brewer gear only to get there and find out we didn't have ANY tickets!!! Okay, I'm kidding. We knew we didn't have tickets, but it was funny that everyone wore Brewer gear anyways. It felt like we were moving into Chase and Andrea's place (so cute by the way...yours too Tara & Kurt) because we had SO much stuff!! It was great to see those that can make it...we miss you guys so much and hope to see you all more often!!! Aidan and Brody need to see all of their aunts and uncles!!! Here's a few pics from the day.

I miss these girls!!! Thank goodness for cells and email!

Tara has the touch...watch out Kurt! Aidan looks happy to FINALLY see his God-Mama again!
Hawks all that nannying for the other twins is DEFINITELY paying off!
Still loving the hair too Hawks!
Don't ask...I probably shouldn't have posted this, I know...Trying to get sun I guess.
Hawks and Chase being goofy!

Mama Shak and Ryan came later...so cute! We can't wait to meet Baby Zdroik! BTW, you don't even look pregnant...you look fabulous!!!A little later that evening hanging out...Tara and I...
Hawks and K-Dawg...

Again, why they have to match, I don't know! I did find that green Wisconsin hat for Josh though and it had a clover on it...love it since the boys were St. Patty's Day babies!

We Miss You!

Atlas just wanted you to know that we all miss you up here in Stevens Point and can't wait to see you this Sunday for the big party. You're so darn cute with your new haircut!!!
