Start of School

Matthew on his first day of 3's preschool at SSPP...

Anthony-3rd grade

Caroline-2nd grade

The first few weeks of school have been a success...still getting used to getting out the door an hour earlier. I think we have thrown Joseph's morning routine off, since we are all getting up at the same time. We are doing good though! Yay for school and a routine!!!!

Good-bye Summer Craziness

Not really sure where the summer went, but sure do know we had a lot of fun!

Dale Hollow

Loved this place and getting a chance to be together...cousins by chance but definitely friends forever!

Cuteness

There is nothing more cute than lovin' on three week old kittens!

Caroline's Tooth

She worked very hard at Gma and Gpa's house to get her first front tooth out and she did!!!! She is a very persistent girl and was so excited to show everyone her new look. She was wondering if the tooth fairy would find her all the way in Kentucky and he sure did!!! :)

Strawberry Pickin'

We went to Bird Berry Farm in Belding. It was so much fun!!! I made jam afterwards so now, we can enjoy strawberries in the winter too!

Reading at night

This is one of my favorite times at night....when we all come together from whatever happened during the day to just read. These pictures were taken just after summer break started. I know as the kids get older, the time together will be few and short between. I LOVE these moments b/c I know they wont last forever.

Last Day of School

Couldn't be more happier and proud of Caroline and Anthony who had an awesome school year. So thankful for Mrs. Suzio and Mrs. Miller and how they helped my kids grow SO much! And yes, I am a little sad that they are moving on, but I know many new adventures will come along.

WOW!

We sure have had a great year! Can't believe Anthony is ready for third grade, Caroline will be a second grader, and my baby is all set for pre-school. We are looking forward to SUMMER!!! Let the crazy fun begin.....

Ready for some BASEBALL!

can you tell anthony's pants are from last year? ha ha!
he is having a great season....his team can really hit the ball! so far they have won all their games!! matthew can wait to play next year!

Taste of Summer

This was last week and sadly, it did not last very long, but we had so much FUN while it lasted!!! We need you back soon mister warm sun!!!

Ohio Trip

This is one of favorite pictures so far of the trip....I cant upload anymore right now, because our computer wont acknowledge the chip. URGG! Stupid thing!
I love this picture, because I didn't tell them to pose at all. I love how both Anthony and Caroline do things for Matthew because they love him, want to and enjoy doing so. I am so thankful for moments like these that pop up and make my heart explode with happiness!

Beautiful

Here is Caroline all dressed up for her spring program....she is growing into such a beautiful girl. She is extremely caring, loving, thoughtful, and smiles a lot. God has given us such a gift to have you in our lives. I love you!

Happy 8th Birthday Anthony

We love you so much!!!
And I think we have done the last bit of celebrating for your birthday finally!!!
You are one lucky kid!

Mud Room

On a day off from school, we went to go pick up Caroline's piece that she painted. She was SO excited to see what it looked like!! We had never gone to the Mud Room before and we were totally impressed. It was a special time for us, because I dont normally let her paint at home. We have watercolors, but she likes tempera paints. This place was so fun and expensive. She loves her jewelry box, so I just hope Matthew doesn't break it any time soon.

Happy St. Patty's Day

That silly leprechaun left the kids green silly string

so after school, the kids

went to town spraying eachotherand eating doughnuts!!!

Piggy tails!!!!

Caroline and Matthew have become closer lately...they put on makeup together, play dress up, and do hair!!!! Is Caroline trying to tell us something?!!!

No School Today!

My little buddy wouldn't smile!!

Ice cream sundaes at On the Border

Caroline's friend, Taylore, came over after school Thursday to spend the night. They were busy little girls who were too busy to sleep. They got up pretty much every hour and were up for good at 7. I promised them I would take them to the mall, so we were there by 10. They bought some little items at Justice and then I took them out for lunch. It was a very quiet ride home I must say!!!!

Twin Friends

We've been having lots of sleepovers at our winter party house!!!

100th Day

Her 100 jeweled peace sign project

All You Need is Love

Sleepover with Da Boyzs!

These boys look nice and quiet while they took a bubble bath and ate together, but they were LOUD and BUSY the entire weekend. It was awesome to see them play together. Cousins and friends for life.

Easton and Matthew said they were going to sleep together, but ended up in bed with their mommies.

Sleepover Fun

Caroline had her friend Lindsey come over to her grandma and grandpa's house for a sleepover. Aren't they cute?!! They played so well together.

They even look alike,I think...taking a break for a super bowl cupcake.

These girls had a blast together. Caroline told me it was the best weekend ever!
