Easter 2011

Happy Easter from The Wittmer Family! 

Lots to post about yesterday... We had our Redbridge Easter Egg Hunt & visit from the Easter Bunny (pic above), we went to Mia Martin's 3rd Birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's, we drove to San Francisco for a 1 hour visit with Auntie Christy and we had Easter with Eric's side of the family (Fullmer side) 

We had a wonderful day filled with fun love and laughter. I love family. I love getting together these memories will last a lifetime. We are so lucky!

Images from KRISTA LUND...Ashlyn 2yrs3mo & Colton 9mo

Thank you Krista Lund for these amazing images! We took these back in June of 2010. Yes I know a long time ago. But by the time I was ready to order them we had moved out of our house. So Krista and I decided that I would wait to see what walls I wanted them on in our new home....

I just placed my order this week and I am sooooo excited to put them up. But i decided I would share them with you first! Enjoy! Ps: Check out Krista's website she has some very cool summer beach sessions set up for August and space is limited her dates are filling up fast. I think we are going to do a family shoot with sand on our tootsies! Maybe you should too! 

 not posed I was trying to get him happy after his sister pushed him out of the chair...

So artistic... Ashlyn looks so beautiful in this picture. Not the type of pics I would want all over my house but a few add so much versatility to your walls at home! And boy do I LOVE this one! 

The last three shots you saw the RED CHAIR. Really that chair was the inspiration for these pictures. This chair belonged to Michelene's Dad, so the kids great-grandfather. I have heard so many stories about how much Grandpa Kenneth and Michelene loved this chair and now my kids do too... I had to capture it in a photo and let the legacy of this beautiful chair live on! It is one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my in-laws house...because of the history and sentimental value. I am a sap for that stuff! Maybe one day it will belong to Ashlyn or Colton and then their kids will sit in it for a picture. Would that be amazing. So as of now we have had 4 generations of children in this chair: Great Grandpa Kenneth, Grandma Michelene, Eric & now Ashlyn & Colton!

{MEAN} by taylor swift

I added this song as our first song because ever since the CMA's when taylor swift sang this it has been a repeat song in our house...it is so adorable the kids love it...yes Eric's Babies ~ a non dancer~ That had DANCING CHILDREN!!! Eric told me the other day Ashlyn asked for this song. Then he turned the corner and both kids were clapping their hands about their heads like taylor did in the performance... seriously hilarious! I tried to recreate the moment with a camera and ended up joining the kids and Eric!!! in the dance party...missed out on the pictures but created a memory!!!!


Life is so good!!!!

My first blog post in our new home!

Tonight as I sit here and type I don't even know where to begin...I have so much to journal about...I have not posted in over 2 months...So I guess I will start my first post with an update....which will probably turn into longer posts at some point.

a picture of our house if you have not seen it yet

~We are all doing great!
~We have settled into the new house very well...and with lots of much appreciated help.
~We have touched every single room in this house with some sort of paintbrush or new flooring...except 1 bathroom...seriously I know you are probably thinking we are crazy well you are right we are... but we LOVE the house and have learned many new tricks...more on that later...
~We are back in the swing of things with work and commuting. All is good right now. It takes me about an hour in the morning and Eric about 45 minutes at night. I have told myself this is part of my day and it is not bothering me.
~We listen to a lot of Glee CD's in the car to make the drive easier on the kids. (thanks papa and grandma michelene)
~We laugh a lot and cry a lot of happy tears. It is so wonderful to see the kids free and happy and running around our beautiful home that is all theirs.
~Ashlyn and Colton have been sleeping in their own rooms since we moved here...probably harder on me the first night than them. More on the rooms later.
~Eric and I have been having so much fun cooking, baking and enjoying our new kitchen. We don't have a Viking oven but it still is nice. (We are going to sell our Viking oven soon...maybe that will be our concrete patio in the backyard)
~We had Ashlyn's 3rd birthday here. It was a blast. I finally had a birthday party that I actually planned out the kid activities right. Not too much... and actually took time to do most of it (ok I miss a few things but no one noticed)
~I'm back... cause Colton's Birthday party planning has already begun... Awe throwing Ashlyn's together in only a few weeks and changing the date and moving in 3 weeks before and during a remodel... phew I can't breathe and I am typing...haha


~I finally sent out my moving cards... Which might be why you are visiting our blog...If that is so, please check back often. I am usually a regular poster! I love comments! I love sharing our crazy life with our family and friends!


Ok well it is 1:30am and I need to work tomorrow morning... Easter Party at LMP! Woo Hoo! Ashlyn helped me stuff all the plastic eggs for the hunt tomorrow...over 150... yep...before bed tonight she said, "mama, I'm so excited for the easter hunt tomorrow. Can I have all the marshmallows?" I told her that she can find a few but that I'm sure the Easter Bunny will come back on Sunday and hide some for you. She says back, "But can you tell him I want marshmallows inside please?!" Too cute...she makes me laugh every single day!


Night every one!


Stay tuned I have a ton of pictures to upload... The kids new spring pics from Jeff Firestone (he takes the pictures for LMP); some older pictures from Krista Lund that I can't wait to share (they are super sentimental; new pictures from Jana Beck of the 4 wittmer grandchildren and so many of the house remodel before and afters....
