work for it.....

Aragorn's was a little thicker than Ro's.  He got it on the next kick after I filmed this (go figure).

Ro showing us how it's done.....

He got his board in the 1st kick!

There is no way.......

There is no way I could catch you all up for the last 2 months.  But i'll post some pictures.  We are all doing good and keeping busy.  Rohan had his 5th birthday party in Feb. at the karate dojo, and it was a BLAST!! He even got to cut his cake with a sword!! I am so glad the boys are still enjoying it enough to share it with their friends.

 

 

 Eric and his Mini me.

We celebrated Omi B's birthday on Feb 23rd, and she got all kinds of cool loot including an ipod shuffle, YUP, she's officially into 2013 ;-)  We had a nice German breakfast and cake.  Happy Birthday mom!!

 At the beginning of the month for Dr. Seuss birthday week Ro had a day where he had to dress as his favorite book character, he chose to be the mouse from "If you give a mouse a cookie" and he was ADORABLE!! And from what I understand, a pretty original idea.


Auntie Bri did a science experiment with the boys by putting carnations into separate glasses with food coloring, we watched the flowers take on color as they drank they water, it was pretty cool.

I'm still getting used to my job, it's been 9 months already, but it's always changing.  As the office manager (I say that because I am really more than just the receptionist) I have to know a lot of stuff.  No day is ever the same, it's stressful and complicated.  At the same time, I LOVE it, I love all of that.  I love the responsibility of it all.  It's awesome.  I love that people trust me to get stuff done.  That they appreciate me.  It's just cool to actually like your job.  The fun thing about it too is, most of Eric's clients are with in a few miles of my office, so we try to have lunch at least once a week together.  I like this time we have to just be with each other and talk.  It gives us a chance to kinda
"date" again too. And in that, I get all kinds of pretty things at my office, which is fun.


 Ro lost his 1st tooth on March 8th!! he lost it at school and I won't lie, I almost cried that I missed this huge moment, but I guess it happens.  He was excited to get money from the tooth fairy. 

We got a pretty decent snowfall March 9th, so Ro was able to use his snowman kit he gor from Granddad and Grandma.

ARagorn finally let us cut his hair this past week, he was finally sick of the Beatles look.  He aged at least 2 years!! and lost 10 lbs. 


Last night March 22nd the boys advanced in Karate last night to their next belts and they did GREAT!! We are so proud of them.




I got my 1st surprise shipment from my Valentines day gift from Eric, he got me a three month subscription to Lucid Jewelry in NYC.  I LOVE her stuff.  I will get something as a supirse for the next 2 months still.  WAHOO!!

Happy 2013!!

Happy 2013 from all of us to all of you!!  We hope this new year brings happiness and love to all of you!!

 

Love,

The Spillman Family

New years day......

In this house, New years day is actually Rohan's Birthday.  The coolest thing about his birthday is that we will always be able to celebrate it as a family, since we have that day off.  We had a very calm and easy going day.  Ro requested sonic for lunch, we went to a couple stores then came home.  We had a really great day.  He got to blow his candles out and make a wish, spider man and all!!

Official 5 yr old picture

Congrats!!

Congratulations to my brother in law Jesse and his fiance Lorina.  He asked her to marry him and she said yes!! I am so excited to welcome her to our family!! 

 

 

Our niece Kallianna is pretty excited too!!

It's the end of the world.......

As many of you I'm sure heard December 21st 2012 was supposed to be the end of the world, again.  Now at this point in my life I had survived 4 of them, I figured, maybe the Myan's were right and this is it.  So I thought we'd better have a gathering to celebrate, you know, just in case.  Well as you know now, we did not in fact blow up or anything worse, so the gathering ended up being just for fun.  But that's ok too!!  We had so much food, Briskett, Mac & cheese, chili, sweets.  So many laughs and just some badly needed down time with friends.

The food.  yes those are twinkies
