We're Here!

Okay, so it has been a very busy couple of months so I have been a slacker when it comes to keeping up on the blog. We finally made it to Pittsburgh and absolutely love it here! It is beautiful and green and we can't get enough of the sights to see here.
Kevin started his schooling this week and comes home amazed at all that is happening at UPMC and the University.
Our home is perfect and as soon as we get a little more unpacked I'll post some pictures for everyone to see. We love it!
Thanks for being patient and keep checking back to see how we are doing!

Connor's Birthday!

It has been a couple of weeks now, but Connor had his 2nd birthday on May 22nd. He had a special day because Carson woke up early and helped Mamma decorate Connor's chair and the kitchen and then we played, went to lunch, had Cold Stone, a very special dinner (they wanted Taco Bell. Nice.), and then Uncle Marc and Aunt Laura came over for cake and presents. Connor was spoiled by them and they (meaning Laura) picked out some great toys that he loves! Thanks guys!
He also got a new bike and helmet so eventually he will be cruising right along with Carson. It was a fun day!

Catch Up!

We have been really busy this past week so we have a few posts all put together in one! First of all, last week we had a great time with Grandma Ellsworth and Grandad Great at the lake. The boys ran around, ate cherries and enjoyed the ride.
Then Carson had "water day" at Miss Christi's school and he had fun on the slip & slide with his friends.




Today was Carson's preschool graduation. Carson looked so handsome and grown-up! He was part of a cute little ceremony and it was fun to review all the fun times he has had the past two years. He loved Miss Christi and will really miss being a part of her classes! Congrats, my little graduate; you're moving on to bigger and better things- KINDERGARTEN!

Can you tell he is excited?




The partners in crime. I'm sure Miss Christi won't miss this combo!

Scentsy!

I had my first Scentsy party last night and it was so much fun! If you aren't familiar with the company, you need to call me because it is so great! With two asthmatic boys I was so excited to learn about a flameless candle that won't get smoke and soot in our lungs (and on our ceilings). I signed up to be a consultant a few weeks ago and have absolutely loved the product and hope to share the great idea with others. If you are interested in finding out more or smelling any of the 80 scents, call or email me or look at the website at: www.scentsy.com/ellsworth

It is great and so much fun!

New Pictures (finally)!

My friend Jeni, a fabulous photographer (whom I highly recommend-contact me for her info), took some great family pictures. Now we have one with our almost 2-year old Connor in it! It is really sad that we haven't done it sooner, but I think Jeni did a great job and we are so pleased to have finally completed it- even though Carson and Connor were little beasts during the process. Thanks for your patience, Jeni!

Pittsburgh!!

Kevin and I had a great time as we ventured up to Pittsburgh to check out our new home. We drove all around the city, trying to absorb all of the differences, but we still left stunned and anxious to get in the middle of it all! It is completely different than the West coast, but it will be a fun change! We will keep everyone updated as we figure out where in the world we will live in this place...

Road Trip!

It is spring break and our last chance to head up to Nevada for Carson and Connor to see their cousins. Grandma Kuzdas came with us and we had a great time staying at Aunt Tiffany's house (I'm not sure sure Shorty, the dog, could say the same, however). On Saturday Aunt Afton got tickets for us to go to the city egg hunt. It was a free-for-all with the prizes scattered on the field and Carson scored some great loot and had a blast on the jump-a-line slide. Connor was just happy with his goody bag (of course. After the hunt we had a BBQ at Afton & Cam's and then we got a private tour of Uncle Jimmy's fire station. I have never even been inside one, so it was a learning experience for me as well!

We had a fun time and the boys miss all of their cousins, but are glad they got to say good bye before the big move!

Thanks again, everyone!

Don't worry, the girls had their faces painted at the egg hunt!

Yeah, love how Carson is dragging Connor in the picture by his shirt. So much for modesty!
