Trip to the Park

This one ran and ran and ran....

This one slept...

The Deal...

When Mark and I met we met over our love of one sports team, The Cleveland Indians. Our sports team similarities stop there. I love the CAVS...he loves the Pistons. I love the Browns...he likes the Browns, but roots for the Bears and/or Lions. But the real difference comes in our college football teams...he is a Wolverine. I am a Buckeye.

So when we got married, not only did we discuss finances, children, and the basics to a marriage but what we would raise our children as Buckeyes or Wolverines. Since I went to Hope College and like the CAVS way more than the Buckeyes, Mark "won" and our children are being brainwashed, I mean um raised as Wolverines.

Mark met his college buddy, Pete for the "big" Delaware St versus Michigan game today and the kids were all decked out for the occasion.

We are back...The adventures of Princess Squigee & Mr. Wiggles...

Yeah, I pretty much think I am the worst blogger on the planet. I promise to be better if not to remember all the little things/big things the two Fletcher kiddos are experiencing.

On September 28th at 1:38am our family welcomed our newest little love, William! It seems as if our life always had Baby Will in it. I can't imagine our life as 3 anymore.

With out further ado some pictures and I promise a blog update closer than 9 months....

Ten on Tuesday: The January 27th Edition

10. It is cold. Cold. Cold. Cold. Oh and snowy. I am sick of winter and we still have a long way to go. I would love a 50 degree day with sunshine and some birds chirpping. Oh and grass. Yes, I would love to see grass again.

9. Elise is the world champion of nappers this week. I have been tiring her out with DANCE PARTIES!!! Nothing better to tire your toddler out than put on some crazy 60's, 70's and 80's tunes and jam. Elise has some rockin' dance move that she did not inherit from her mom.

8. My Best Bud is throwing a Super Sweet 25 birthday party. I have the perfect dress but am having a hard time finding the perfect pink shoes to match that won't cost me my mortage payment.

7. My sweet baby is going to preschool next year all by herself! I can't believe it. I am happy with our final choice and think it is going to be a great fit for our family.

6. I don't get Dora the Explorer. It is the same episode each time. I like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse much better.

5. We are seeing Elmo LIVE! This weekend. I think my toddler might go into rockstar mode :)

4. I scored awesome Billy Joel & Elton John tickets for my hubby. I am so excited for his birthday present.

3. I have been hooked on Oprah this week with the obesse teens.

2. I have a sick love with my crockpot. I love it. In fact, I want to make a crockpot meal every night. Tonight is Greek Chicken. Oh yum.

1. I have been having really odd dreams lately. Must stop having icecream and watching bad reality TV shows before bed....

Snow Much Fun!

Ah the joys of winter, usually the Fletch Family is about the warm temps, but all three of us were going stir crazy, so we bundled up for some winter fun! Elise wanted to build a snowman, but alas the snow was too powdery, so snow angels and snowballs it was. Until someone got hit in the face...after we came inside for warm chocolate chip cookies, Elise wanted to go back out and play in the snow just a bit with Daddy.

Christmas in Review...

Our Christmas in review...lots of laughter, lots of memories, an engagement, christmas cookies, wii, games, Jingle Bells, oh so yummy food, friends, hide and seek, and miles logged on our trusty Equinox. Christmas 08 was one to remember for sure....
