Snow

Last night was the first snow of the season and it's been so fun to watch the kids reactions. They are all excited but it's especially fun to watch Cohens reaction because he acts as if he doesn't even remember seeing snow. He's been asking questions about it and wants to know why you have to wear snow clothes, etc. It's pretty cute. The twins just went outside for the first time this year in their snow clothes and they are having a ball!

Long overdue: Here are the 2001-2012 school year photos!

Birthday Musings

Happy Birthday to my dear sweet amazing talented godly baby ten year old. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and have been amazed at watching you grow into the little lady you are today. As it is so easy for me to look backward at what we no longer have, always missing my babies, I find myself trying to remember to look forward at the remarkable woman you are becoming. I look forward to seeing you grow and seeing where life takes you. You are an amazing girl and I know you'll be an amazing woman. Just not too fast, okay?

Interesting Start

This morning has already been interesting... the heater is broken, so I had to get ahold of my brother to see about getting it fixed. That prompted a quick clean of the side room to make it presentable for the person coming to fix the furnace.

Ran out of TP so kids are clogging the toilet left and right with paper towels *TMI* LOL

The balloons (it's Danissa's birthday!) got wrapped up in our ceiling fan and halted it's movement so I shut it off to await Mikes homecoming to fix it.

And in all that I thought it couldn't get weirder until I had to say "All guns are down till everyone is dressed!". But shortly after that I had to say "Cohen! Stop shooting your brother till he is dressed!" I think that one was weirder.... LOL

And it's only 6:30 in the morning!

Little Man

Cohen found the suspenders that Ethan wore on Reformation Day and just had to try them out... regardless of the fact that he was wearing pajamas. That little guy keeps us smiling!

Road Trip

I had a wedding out of town this weekend and my mom graciously came along with me to ensure my safety in not so fantastic lodging. We had a fun time hanging out and saw some pretty sights along the way...

First REAL Piano Recital....

Support from G & G

A certain someone slept through the entire program... till the very. last. song....

The whole group of students- of all abilities.

And the final sleeping boy of the evening... I just can't go anywhere with these guys!
