This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 15 and 9 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Geese, Playgrounds, and Niagara Power Vista Fun

Thursday was another day full of adventures for me and the boys. We grabbed some day old bread and headed across the road to the creek to feed the geese and ducks! Pulling out into the road I saw a group of deer grazing across the creek.






There wasn't very many birds out so we put the bread away and headed to the playground at the park by the creek. The boys loved that of course!








Friday I had something really fun planned for our last outing--a trip to the Niagara Power Vista in Niagara Falls! It is north of the falls up the Niagara river where the power plant is. It is an awesome and educational facility that is very interactive for kids and the best part is that it's all FREE. We were there almost 2hr.

There was also a short 4d interactive ride to show the journey of water to electricity. Brad did that one twice!


Today I have been prepping for our little Easter feast tomorrow! The eggs are stuffed, baskets are filled, and food is coming together.

Happy 2nd Birthday Jacob!

Yesterday was Jacob's second birthday and he had a fun time. We had a laid back party at the house and our friends Kary and Stephanie joined us. We had pizza, then cake and ice cream! Jacob loved the pizza but was scared of the candles on the cake, haha!















We got him a big wheel trike, but it ended up being a bit too big! He can't quite reach the pedals yet, so I'm looking for a smaller trike to get him for now. For now his big brother pushes him in it around the house.

He has a check up on Monday so I'll post his stats then!

Adventures at the Local Library

Yesterday I took the boys to an event at our town library. The Niagara Falls Aquarium brought some of their small aquatic animals to show the kids. They even got to touch some of them! It was very educational and the boys enjoyed it.








Today is Jacob's birthday! I'll take pics tonight when we have his little party and post those soon.
