updating life

The last few months of my life have been consumed by teeball/baseball/softball. LOTS AND LOTS OF BALL!! Madison, Bryson and Natalie played. We were at a feild 5 nights of the week at multiple games and practices. They all had a lot of fun and my girls would both like to play again next year.

We also lost Nathan's mom suddenly at only 56 years old which was very sad for our family and my poor little Madison's heart was broken. She feels everything so strongly. Joy, excitment, anticipation, and sadness and heartbreak. My poor little girl is so sad to not see her mom-mom anymore and so worried about her pop-pop. We are all doing better now and are thankful for so many prayers on our families behalf. Thank you so much everyone.

Summer has hit and it's been the funnest one i've ever had with my kids. They are getting older and things have become easier and more enjoyable. We have been strawberry picking, to Sloan park, bought a puppy, spent endless hours at the pool,went to the zoo, played with friends and set off fireworks on fourth of july. We have gone to see family and had lots of family visit us. We have lots more adventures planned from lake outings and barbeque's and trying to sneak some beach time in. So we are staying busy and enjoying all our family time.

Emily is 2!!

It was a pretty quiet birthday for our house. We just had our neighbor come over and I made a rocket cake for her from her favorite show in the world little einsteins!! It came out pretty good considering I had no idea what to do till that morning. Emily got a couple of littl things and she was excited about them all. Her big present is this weekend going to build a bear with all her cousins. She keeps talking about it, it should be lots of fun. She keeps saying, " yeah mor couzin builabewa birday". Hope you enjoy these couple of pics.

Christmas in review

Christmas Eve every year we make Gingerbread cookies. I don't remember a Christmas eve with out gingerbread in my whole life!! This has become one of our families traditions. Here is a group shot with the rolling pin.

Later that night My mom and sister Meagan and our friends the Cummings came over and we had some fabulous food. I still need your recipe for your monkey bread Roger!! The kids went to bed pretty easily. They really love the Cummings! They all have such good imaginations and come up with fun games when they play together. One night at dinner they all broke into I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" it was so cute and funny, not many kids know that song these day's but apparently all 7 of ours do! so cute!!

Yummm, that food was all so good!!



I caught pictures of there biggest presents. Natalie got and I-pod,


Bryson got the lego Imperial starship. When asked who it was from he couldn't read the cursive writing and says "I don't know, Barrack O-BAMA!! Classic, hilarious!!

And Madison got roller blades.

After a couple of presents Emily figured the whole thing out and went and picked up the biggest present she could carry and said "i wan dis one!!" it was so cute!! This is her in her thinking chair. She loves Blue's clues!


We didn't get a picture of me opening it (i screamed) but here are my kids playing LOOPIN' LOUIE!!!!! One of my all time favorite games!! I don't know where he found it but thanks dad!! I played this for about 3 hours with my kids Christmas day! It rocks!!

My rock star

I know that you aren't supposed to do this. I didn't tape it or ask her (name not authorized) to. I'm not sad she did though. I'm ecstatic to have it and she did so awesome, she was the star of the program.




I'm sorry i know i'm her mom but she is the cutest thing ever!
