Spa day Mud bath...

Well maybe not Spa Day but Mud Bath for sure! With finally having a semi decent day here the kids wanted to do the sprinkler.. YEAH cause 67 degrees is sprinkler weather... So since they got shut down they did the next Best thing... used the puddles on our lawn...And Of Course I am the kinda Mom that would Never Rob her children of a chance to roll in the mud...I let them at it! Now the problem is Every time they go out they are probably going to want to do the same thing... Puddles Dry up! Oh well...

Rub-a-dub-dub, three kids in the mud!
OH I should also mention by the end Luke was nude... Neighbors LOVE us!

Big News from Allie...

All the kids had a cleaning from Daddy Dentist the other day, and Allie has had this crazy tooth that didn't want to come out even though the new tooth was all the way through behind it...So Daddy gave her a little nitrous and yanked it out real quick... Another Tooth fairy visit = $1 for Allie's wallet!

Around the House...

Just some fun stuff from around the house lately....

Spring... Maybe...

Saturday we took a road trip... I couldn't handle being in the house anymore! It has been Spring Break, and it has rained and been cold most of the week... Add 3 kids to that, and well it gets to be a small house fast! One day we went to the Science Museum in Buffalo and that was fun to get out but after spending $22 dollars on that, I wasn't really excited to do much else that cost... we were going to go down to a Naval Museum, but the weather was pretty cold and I am not a fan of Downtown Buffalo.. so I skipped it... SO Anyway on Saturday we headed South and ended up in Allegany state park, we haven't ever been down there before, and honestly it wasn't that pretty with no leaves... but I could sure see how it would be Lovely once there were green trees! We ended up at Red House Lake, and the weather was great! About 71 and sunny, no complaints about that! So the kids threw lots of rocks and had sticks... and even got a little muddy... It was GREAT!

iPhone pics...

Monk seal on the beach in Poipu the kids would have LOVED that!

Me and my guy! Love him!
Even though he hates when I take these pictures! haha

Me on our beach, and Duke's Restaurant... open to the outdoors...with a River flowing right in! Very cool!
Our favorite was a quote from "Duke" who was a surfer guy...
"I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means."
Oh how would that be???

New Baby...

Well the big news is we are having a...

Boy!



Lets just say, Luke is one happy proud brother!

Everyone has been convinced since Day 1 that it is a boy..
The night before we found out I was talking to Allie and Luke and said Well if it
is a girl you will still love her right? Allie said Yes of course...
Lucas said NO, cause she's a BOY!
Then when we went in for the ultra sound they put the baby up on the screen
all you could tell was that it was a baby... Luke yells It's A Boy!
And he was right!
We are so excited!

Hiking in Kauai

Our Last full day on island we went hiking... it was kinda a rainy day but beautiful none the less, Of course I didn't get muddy till the literal last step of the hike when I slipped and covered my sneaker in mud! Oh well! It was a really pretty hike when we got to the top we could see out over the interior of the island and out to the ocean. The Trees were just a sight! The hike like everything else on the island was beyond belief! Good thing there was so much to take pictures of, made my frequent stops from being pooped out less obvious!

Our Hiking hosts... The dentist and his wife... and Kiki their dog

Tree tunnel on the road to Poipu and Koloa...

Borrowed this from Mike Shaw I didn't get a picture of it... it is a kinda busy road... But it was one of the most magical things on the island!

Poipu Beach AKA Heaven!

We LOVED Poipu... I mean Loved! It was Beyond amazing there...The water was an amazing shade of lovely blue, it was warm, sun was shining, water was warm, Amazing! I am thinking this is a place for reunions Harkers and Cleggs!

Below is the Beach House restaurant, the setting is Beautiful, the place opens right up to the ocean! Food was OK, service sucked well you can't have everything....
