Love me some eyelashes!

Isn't it funny how you can find the smallest detail of a person to love?

Date Night

We love being able to get out together (sans kids) but it hasn't been easy.... until now.

 

OUR CHURCH is AMAZING!

and the Youth Group has become something very near and dear to my heart.

What a great group of young adults!

 

They are raising money for the National Youth Gathering...by offering a PARENT's NIGHT OUT once a month!  Hallelujah!

 

We have only done it once for Chad's Birthday - but I can guarantee you.... it will happen again.

 

We missed it this month - so we caught up on a lunch date!

 

Amazing what conversation can take place over a meal without children present!

 



Fun with Family

We love hanging out with family.

 

This was from Christmas...

 

Gotta Love Matching Grandpa! 

First "Memory" of playing in the snow

First time checking out the snow!

You mean - I get to play in this?

Making snow angels
I didn't teach him - so my question is ... where do they learn this stuff from?

We had the best sticky snow!

Isaac and I made a cute little snowman.

Yes - that is a snowball in his hand - ready and aimed for his momma!

 Isaac rolled all 3 snowballs in the yard - by himself.

 It was just his size!

A Little Bit of Bowling

Isaac and I went bowling with my school in January. 

 He had a blast!


Loved watching the ball roll down the lane.

Look at that form!

This is our Speech Pathologist's daughter - Caitlyn.

Isaac thinks they are best friends!

Man - I look tired in that picture - and so was he by the end of the night!

A Snow Day!

Man I love snow days!  I love staying in my comfy clothes!  Taking the kids outside - who am I kidding - the big kids hate it b/c they have to help shovel - but man the little one loves to play in the snow!  He love the cold, the wind, the rolling, the throwing....

 

I love snow days!!!

 

I think God knew I needed one today too.... he saw my struggles and thought I needed a day of rest. 

 

I am going to work on loading some photos, enjoying my family, packing a few more boxes, finishing the basement floor plan and some good ol' fashioned chilling on the couch!  I plan to drink hot chocolate with my kids, give a few extra hugs and hopefully figure out this daycare/preschool/kindergarten situation out. 

 

I also plan to take all the kids old clothes and start the selling process.... a little extra cash never hurt anyone right? :)

 

Happy Snow Day everyone! 

This one's for you sis!

A nice family picture....

 

 

Then ...

 

A family picture with a bit of crazy on the side!

 

We apparently all like to have our mouths open and tongue sticking out. 

 

Guess that is Genetic?

 

Love ya!

 

(Hey - you asked for a blog update right sis?)
