Think Pink, Beantown!!!

On May 17th & 18th, Team "Think Pink, Beantown!" will be walking 39 miles for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Boston. I need your help, though! My sister, her friend Julie & I need to raise $1,800 EACH to participate in this amazing event. The funds raised by us will go to local, regional & national breast cancer organizations to support awareness, research, education, screening, etc.





Our Grandma Bonnie is a breast cancer survivor and my sister & I walk for her!!!!! She is a very brave woman and we love her so much!





If you would like to donate, please log on to my personal web page for the walk at http://tinyurl.com/2b9sbk or contact me via email ewaldner0828@yahoo.com! It's so easy & every little bit helps!!!!





The top 3 reasons why I walk...(I really could go on & on about the reasons for this walk but I'll stick to only 3 on my blog!!)

My sister, Sara & I

My beautiful kids & wonderful husband

And most importantly, my Grandma (with Jack & Reagan)

SUGAR RUSH!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all our family & friends!!

We spent the day with our dear friends, Trish, Devon & Arden...thanks to Trish for buying all the goodies b/c Jack & Devon had so much fun making rice krispie treats for their Daddy's! What a mess in the kitchen but what fun everyone had eating the treats!!!! yum! The younger girls had more fun looking out the window at the rain & chatting in their own little toddler language!

Jack's foot

Mommy!

Well, since Jack received his own digital camera from Aunt Jill for Christmas - he now thinks he is able to use ALL of our cameras. Last evening, he took some photos with our camera. These pictures are from "Jack's viewpoint". Enjoy!

Remembering the good ole' days!

As my 20 month old LITTLE DIVA has been testing me ALL week, I decided it would be fun to look back at her "quieter" days. You know, to have a little flashback of when she was as sweet as pie! Her newest attitude is "do it myself" and she will scream her little head off if I even help her! So for example, she insists on climbing into the car by herself (note: we have an SUV), catapulting her little body up into the carseat by herself, buckling the 5-point harness by herself, putting on a coat by herself...you can see where this is going, right??? She has also banned sitting in her booster seat at the bar in the kitchen & insists on standing the whole time...ugh!

As I look at these adorable pictures of our little baby girl, I sigh and think to myself "This is just a phase & we WILL get through it!!"

Enjoy...

It's Dinner Time at the Waldners...

Reagan loves to eat salsa

This is Jack's plate - what's missing? JACK!

and where the heck is Jack??? So I had to take a picture of the kids at dinner time...as you can see, Reagan is elbow deep in salsa and enjoying her quesadillas to the fullest. But where is Jack? Hmmmm, if I had a safe & humane way to tie him to his chair during mealtime - I would!!! I think for this meal he was sitting on the floor playing with his Neptune Planet Hero. Our kids are polar opposites when it comes to food - Reagan eats ALL foods and Jack eats NO food. ugh!

Our little fashion diva!

Reagan is a true girly girl...and loves to play dress up! She is great at putting on hats, coats, sweaters & shoes...oh & she also loves to carry around purses. But not any ole' purse - yep, she loves to carry around Mommy's Coach purse! The girl has style - what can I say, I'm a proud Mom! :) She has also shown a love for shoes...aaaahhhhh, she IS my daughter!!! Watch out Daddy, Reagan will be asking for those Jimmy Choos instead of the Stride Rite's in no time!! :)

Tennis anyone?

Check out out the little guy in the grey shirt & striped sweat pants!

Well, we have a little tennis star on our hands! Jack is in a tennis class on Saturday mornings and is loving it. He doesn't always hit the ball, but he does have alot of fun (isn't that more important?). If you ask him what his favorite part of the class is...I would guarantee the candy at the end! :) He is more excited to show us what treat he gets at the end of class than how many tennis balls he hits over the net! Oh well...the life of a 3 year old is a tough one! Heck, if candy was guaranteed at the end of my tennis lesson - I'd sign up in a heart beat! :)

*Sorry for the hazy photos...the lighting in the tennis facility isn't that great!
