Busy Weekend!

Rehearsal, Wedding, snow, good family time!!! :) :) :)

Too Long

I am not even sure if anyone reads this blog anymore but I thought I would post to find out. I feel like Facebook has become my means of communication and picture showing-off.....
Things are cruising right along at our house. Zach is missing his family during the day but enjoying his alone time with mom. There is plenty of it too!! :) Nate is loving 1st grade and really beginning to shine. I am thankful that the boy can do math!! I am not a good 'tutor' in the math department because my patience is so small.
Jocelyn is rocking 5th grade!! She is getting more beautiful each day and truly is my love bug. I cant believe how time is flying. She is going to be taller than Kay and me very shortly.....a fact that Kay is still in denial about! ;)
Kayleigh is the big cheese 8th grader and loving every minute of it!! She is playing field hockey for the first time and she is really exceptional at it. Even though she would like to be scoring goals, she is a defender and a great one at that!
Marshall is busy with work but not so busy that he can't be home to spend time with us. It is a good season in our lives and we are relishing in it.
I am working and trying to balance everything here. Mom's Time Out and Mom's Night Out are rolling along....I am taking the Esther bible study at church and it is A-MAZING (as kay would say!). I encourage you all to take it if it is ever offered wherever you are!

We hope everyone is well and I will try to post again soon!!

Softball Sunday

No enlightening words to share today......just that I love my family and my life!!

Praying for Stellan

A few new pics

A few pictures from Kay's 13th birthday dinner at Mikado and this week's March snowstorm!!

Long week

Nate has been sick since Saturday...... I believe this captures the level of activity in my house over the last 5 days.

Joce's winter concert

On Tuesday night we attended Joce's first band concert! She did so well and proclaimed when it was over..."And I didnt even squeak once Mom!" (Clarinet is a rough instrument....) Love you Joce!!

Nate is reading

I will post more pics later but Nate started reading last night and now, he cant get enough of it!! First thing this morning, he was on the couch with his pile of books! I had forgotten how fun (and painful) this time can be!! Go Nate!!
These are a few pictures of his printing too. I think he is writing so well.....

Do you see what I am up against?!?! :)

How am I supposed to get anything done around here with these two hooligans on the loose?!!?! Gotta love em!

Is this normal??

I think I am actually a little envious that my sons can hoolahoop longer than I can! Should a 4 year old be able to do this?!?!

This is for you Boompah

Delayed Opening!!

Nate is 6!!!

Better late than never??!! Nate turned 6 on the 24th of January and I couldnt love him any more than I do!! He is becoming a little 'man' in some ways. His conversations are getting more grown-up and he is so caring for his little brother. He really looks out for him! Nate is loving Kindergarten and starting to read and write. I love it!! Cant they stay this age forever?? :)

Snow Day!!

We had our first snow/ice/rain day last week! The kids lasted for a while outside!! What fun!

Mom says I need an update!

I just got home from the ladies' retreat for FAC and I dont even think I can put into words how absolutely wonderful it was!! I was priviledged enough to lead worship for the entire weekend and had the best chick band ever!! God is good!
