Snuggle Buggles!

Me and my new nephew "Jameson Reese". Perfect!

My First Baby Boy Love

Amadeus visting Jameson in Omaha. He is showing Mommy Anna how important a baby gate is going to be!

Jameson Reese

Born on March 18th. What a beautiful baby boy. I am happy we could make the trip to meet him. Awesome!!!

"Clifford"

Off to Omaha! Look at Boots-completely conjures memories of "Clifford the Big Red Dog".

All Work and No Play

Wait - what if you are working on toys? Matt's latest completed pistol. Beautiful!!!

Little Ballerina

Eva dancing for me-to her own tune (in her head; there is no music playing).

Posing

Clara: "Take my picture Mom."

This was her pose. I think I may have my hands full....

School

It never ends.

My hair!

Finally - I had it cut off. I love it!

Spring...

Climbing trees and riding bikes! Spring is on the way.

Much enjoyed time.

With Grandma visiting the Omaha crew we have had LOTS of time to enjoy Grandpa, Aunt Kendra and of course - Baby A. Geez - he is truly a doll!

Where I want to be.

This is a painting my mother-in-law did for us. It hangs in my sitting room and it is BEAUTIFUL! Today, it caught my eye (again) and I thought - gee - that is where I would like to be right now.

Finally....

My kitchen! So happy. :D

Dinner

Salt-Pepper...I love to eat with pretty things.

SUN!

Ah - finally, spring may be on its way! Even the dogs have missed the beautiful, happy rays.

My Little Louie

Kahlua is so cute! Hanging out in the sun...oh what a dog's like!!

New Kitchen Stuff

Just a sample of my new kitchen stuff...it's all getting installed this weekend!! I am SOOOO excited!!!

Hot to Trot

Seriously! Could she grow up a little slower?

Dancing Bride

Eva was twirling around the living room; spinning her pajama's that she is wearing tomorrow for PJ Day. No music playing, mind you, she was dancing to her own tune. ;)

Matt's Cat

"Snickers" (She loves her Daddy and is always finding something of his to snuggle into! Here she is in his "snow" overalls that he wears in his shop. What a silly kitty!

Silly Ladies

My girls are playing dress-up and pretend this afternoon. It really drives me crazy (the mess is unbelievable) but at the same time offers me a little reprieve from their constant nagging. Oh well, I guess that is what Saturday's are all about.

Who? Me??

Eva couldn't pull off innocent is she tried. Here - she gives it her best shot; poor girl, the orneriness oozes out of her!

Classic...

In classic "Grandpa Fleck" style, Matt sports his warm snow overalls to work out in his shop...so cute really. ;)

Little Dragon

My Eva Kaneva practicing before breaking her very first REAL 1/4" thick board in Karate!!

Rock Star!

Need I say more? Pshhhhh!

Winter Wonderland

We awoke this morning a beautiful "winter wonderland". Of course, it looses the appeal once you have to stop gazing through a window at it and actually try to maneuver through it. Oh how I wish spring had sprung. Cabin fever is settling into my bones...I can FEEL it!

Weather Defiance!

Despite the horrific weather we have experienced today, i.e. snow, rain, sleet and ice, Matt and I are starting our garden seedlings in our "in house greenhouse". Boy I can't wait to feel the sunshine on my face and smell the air of spring!

My Sam's Trip

Saturday turned out to be quite eventful...Kendra and I decided to brave the frigid weather and the ever temperamental behavior of Amadeus and Eva and went shopping! This is just a little of the continuous humor we shared throughout the day.

In this picture, Eva is fishing for a piece of ice all the while Amadeus is trying to snap her straw in his mouth to steal a drink. Hilarious!

Maestro

Clara performing...what a great little musician!

My Little Preschooler

Seriously - she is adorable...for any one's standards. Look at her! I just want to eat her up! This is Little Eva Kaneva; waiting outside her classroom until her teacher opens the door.

Sickness All Aroung

This picture is worth a thousand words...check out his expression as his mom swooped in for a quick wipe (probably the 100th time that day).

Roses are red...

I LOVE fresh flowers in my house. After enjoying these beautiful buds the past few days - I vow to always have a vase of fresh blossoms in my house. Did I mention they look great on my buffet?

Sleep Is What I Want

JEALOUS - sums up how I feel and in only one word. Why is it that Daddy always gets the morning snooze? The kids were out of school today but Mom was up and at it with them long before lazy bones here got out of bed. No fair! :)

Love is in the air...

I bought a new Subaru 2010 Outback today! Woo-Hoo! Love it.

AND

Today is my wonderful, fabulous, incredible, awesome, loving, caring, AMAZING sister's birthday! I would post a picture but I don't have any "pre-approved". Happy Birthday ERICA!!!! All of our love for you is pulsing through the Internet to YOU!

Gotta Love a New Car!

Bought a Subaru Outback today! Whooo-hooo! I LOVE this vehicle. It is absolutely beautiful. Oh yeah, did I mention it just rolled off the truck this morning???? Absolutely ZERO miles on it when we bought it. We actually took a different one off the lot to try and then purchased this one. Of course, we put 200 miles on it right off the bat just to drive it home. AND I haven't driven it yet. Matt did all the driving yesterday. Boo!

Crazy Clara

Boy this girl was full of spitfire today! She definately was giving me a run for my money...I am exhausted! Those baby blues can be decieving. Miss innocent.

Serious Business

Three days into the far-a-way family visit I finally had an opprotunity to sit down at my computer! This is the face of someone who has over 100 actual friends/family on FB and hasn't logged in multiple days. Talk about "notifications" - geesh!

Christmas In Feburary?

Aunt Erica & her family came to visit; they missed Christmas due to all the horrible winter weather everyone has been getting. Amadeus enjoys tearing open the paper on his presents!

Beautiful Girls!

Lela finally came to town for a visit! FINALLY! What a precious face and a wonderful girl! We love her.

My little model...

Dinner - every night this week. :)

My mantle...my home...my favorite scripture.

Eva tested for YELLOW!

I HATE Winter!

Ick!

Starbucks-the place to be!

Boy I was tired today. I have downed one entire "Monster" and several cups of "joe". Any bit of energy I could beg, borrow. or steel. So glad the week is winding down!

Stripes....Yellow!

Eva earned her solid yellow strip today at her belt examine for Tae Kwon Doe. We are so proud of our little dragon. This picture is of her instructor (Cindy Powell) awarding Eva her certificate. She also presented her with her new belt! Yippeee!!

Peaceful Sleep

*Jealous* of my greyhound! I so wish I could just sleep any which way no matter what was going on. I am so tired and am in the middle of another bout of insomnia. Doesn't help that I can't keep my head above water with school. I need a vacation!

Pretty As A Picture

I have spent my day cleaning and putting my house back together after the first round of our extensive remodeling...whew! Flowers cast aside on top of the counter caught my eye. They reminded me of spring with their bright, vibrant colors!

All Day Project

Clara spent most of her Saturday perfecting her creation of "Jasmine". This tedious work takes time and energy...along with several breaks to aid in concentration and completion. Without further ado...Clara's colored picture...her masterpiece (captured from its new home on my fridge) "Jasmine".

The Foyer...w/grout!

The kitchen is moving along...the floor is complete and the first coat of paint is on the walls. I am so excited but all this remodeling is wearing me out!
