WHOA! Are you in need of an update?

There are so many things going on in the Kudlas house that time is passing so quickly and I think I am due to give an update. While the kids are away on Spring Break at my parents, I thought I would have lots of time to squeeze in an update...so between spring cleaning my attic and a well needed pedicure this afternoon, I will bring you an update. Lots of pics..so hang in there.

Update #1:
Since moving to the new house a little over 2 years ago, Brad has not been able to start his garden back up. Many of you know and the ones that have eaten at our house (especially our old house) knew that we used lots of goodies from our garden. So we are finally to the point landscaping at our new house to finally plant our garden. Brad is the one that works outside and does all our gardening. He LOVES it and I let him do that with all the kids. So a bit over 3 weeks ago they started our "prep" garden in the dining room. Here is after 5 days....

Here is just a bit over 3 weeks.....they are getting close to be put into the big garden outside....

Update #2:

Brenna had her Easter performance at school last week. Temps outside made it impossible to wear all the cute Easter dresses and outfits. They still did a great job. Here are both Mon/Wed and Tues/Thur classes singing. Can you find Brenna?

Here is our sweet Brenna Caroline after her performance. We are so proud of her! Here is our little comedian's new joke. (Now remember she is only 3 1/2)

Brenna: "Momma, why did the chicken cross the road?"

Momma (me): "I don't know Brenna, why did the chicken cross the road?"

Brenna: "Because it pooped in the chicken truck."

She is always making us laugh! We love her!

Update #3:

During the month of March I prepared to throw a school baby shower for some good friends of ours that work with Brad. After 5 years of trying to get pregnant, they are expecting a little boy with in the next few weeks. With over 70 people invited, it was going to be quite an event with lots of food and lots of planning. Last week was the big event. Plenty of food and lots of friends!
Here is Aidan, Brenna and their best buddies Isabelle and Elliot Kinsey. (Elliot doesn't look very happy!)

Update # 4:

Our baby, Carsyn is going to be turning 1 next Saturday. Has it already been a year? Watch for posts later this week about the big birthday!

Update # 5:

The one gift the kids got from Daddy and Mommy this year for Christmas was a swing set. We told them it was going to be April before it would be set up and just in time for Carsyn's birthday. This past weekend, Brad worked all day and night to have it built. It was quite an undertaking...but we know that there will be many hours of fun spent on it!

Friday, Saturday and Sunday we had beautiful days in the 60 and 70's. Monday and Tuesday on the other hand was a different story. Thank goodness for Brad having Spring Break!

After:

If you have been to our new house you know that we are in the wood on a hill. Not a great place for a play structure. However, we do have this great fenced in side yard that is on a large slope. We were able to level it off as much as possible to put the structure up. Grass still has to be planted and in the back left corner were all the dirt is, is where the garden will be.

Update #6:

SNOW! What? Isn't it spring time? Yes, yes and yes! 70's one day, 20's the next. O well the kids had fun looking at it while I packed them up to head to SC.

Update #7:

I met my mom at the Anderson/Clemson exit at ate dinner on Tuesday, packed the kids up and they are off to my parents for the rest of the week. From going golfing, to the park to eating icecream they are having a blast and enjoying every minute of it.

Update #8:

Brad has a new job..well another job..well another new job. He is the new Head Cross country girls/guys coach at North Forsyth HS. He is still doing basketball and all the other things he does best, this is just something he has added to his fall agenda! I am proud of him and know he will do a great job with the kids!

Have a blessed Easter this weekend with your families!
