Here is a little Zeke hug to welcome you back...all of my few readers that endure the many months i do not post. It is difficult to keep up with a blog, have a family and a part time job...sooo i will continue to do my best with what the Lord has given me! So we've had a lot of snow this winter and it felt way too long to me this year...this stuff, good ridence, we'll see you later!
It has made Mommy & Zekey a little crazzzzzzzzzzzy!
Or maybe Mommy A LOT crazy....
...and Daddy...sleepy?
Anyways...dispite the wonderful midwest winter this year. We have survived and we finally see some green grass trying to poke its way through. Ezekiel had the sprinkler out tonight so you can tell that he is right ready for summer already! I posted a bunch of pictures in this post to give you an overview of the last few months...hope you enjoy (i know Grammy & Poppa will!)
We had a fun Christmas with Shiloh's family on the 24th and our little family on the 25th. Zeke really wanted a blue dinosaur and here he is with the one in his stocking.
The Menter boys (minus Judah)
and then Grammy & Poppa came to visit us for Christmas this year!!
Grammy snuggling with Zekey in his bed the first night they were here
Red jammies in front of the tree
Being silly with Poppa - lots of fun was had by all and a great early New Years Party with Zeke before Mommy & Daddy got to go out and party!! 
Next up was Maddie & Derek's wedding at the end of January...it was a fun, exhusting day, but so glad to see my friends get married!
Me & my hubs
Zeke slept through the ceremony on Daddy's shoulder, but had lots of fun at the reception
and then Grammy & Poppa came to visit us for Christmas this year!!
Ezekiel was so excited!

...with his new friend Chloe (they are best buds now since Chloe's Mommy has been watching Zeke while I work on Tuesdays)
Mommy & Daddy got to go out for Valentine's to Red Lobster...mmmm it was so good!
Fun times with Anna at Lost in Fun
...in the space pit...
...on the inflatables...
and back to space pit...
and back to the balls...it is always nice to have a best buddy to go be crazy with!!
Zeke's smiley face pancakes we made because that is what George (as in "Curious George") had for breakfast and he had to have it too!
This is what Shiloh has been up to...lots of drilling, cutting, measuring and well... sweating while working on finishing our basement. You can tell the dust in the air by the picture. It will be awesome when everything is done! This is the "Office/Music Studio" and potientally another bedroom possibly one day.
Zekey has been doing a lot fo covering his ears while Daddy works. This is our main room in the basement where we hope to one day own a sectional couch so we can have lots of people over!!
This is the view from the other side so Grammy & Poppa can picture what it will look like! You can see the doorway going into the Office (which will have a glass door) and the built-in bookshelf to the left. We have lots left to do and probably not enough $$ to finish, but we keep trucking along, God will provide :)
This was Zekey's first visit to the dentist a few weeks ago...he did awesome and th dentist says he has great teeth! He was just happy to pick out a toy at the end.
I waited out in the waiting room after this picture, and felt like my little man was all grown up being back there by himself...sniffle!
Next up are some pic's from Zeke's swimming lessons...here he is with Chloe before one of the lessons
him and Jeremiah being silly after class...big surprise!!
My little "Perch" graduate that didn't care about anything but the fruit snack he got as a reward! If only life was that simple!!! He actually went down the big water slide in the background, another friend got pics of that which i should post up here some time as well. Zeke will be starting the "Pike" class this Thursday which he will be doing without Mommy! He is doing quite well and i'm excited to see him learn to swim on his own. We are getting ready for LOTS of swimming this summer!!
Well...thanks for sticking with me as i did a quick overview of the past 3 months. I hope everything is well for all of you tonight...i do have strep throat again which i found out this morning and i'm thinking that one of these days i may need to get my tonsils removed...but for now, down go the antibiotics and to bed i go...
