Worked a little photoshop magic on this one! Took a bit, but now they all have a smile.

New kiddo pics!

Took the kiddos out the other night to a field of yellow weeds!

This little "princess" LOVES to play her Princess memory game over and over and over! We play a little differently than the rules and place the cards face up and I will tell her what to find and then she finds the matches. She loves that this is HER game and is always asking to play "princy" game!
Our firstborn! Since he's in school I don't get to take many pics of him. So the other day after school I made sure to snap a pic! 7 is such a fun age...kind of! He says stuff that is hilarious most days and we are like where does he come up with this stuff! Then other days like yesterday he disobedient and disrespectful and I just don't know what to do. I stayed calm and we got over it. Today was such a better day thanks to a dear neighbor who talked with him!

Snowy, Cold, and Sick kiddos!

The boys were home with fevers today! However, it's funny how they were acting completely normal ALL day long! So our first "snow" or flurries (maybe 1/2 inch) of the year were today. Cole got out immediately and I snapped the pic above. Always posing that boy.
So today of all days I found time to sit, read, sip on my green tea and enjoy a fire (those little orange dots=fire). It wasn't long...I'm a mom remember! I think I need to do that more often. ;)

A fun pic from November!

It's very rare these days to get a picture of Bill and I together and even rarer that he acts goofy. So while we tried to get family pics taken by my sister she managed to get this. LOVE. IT.

Upward basketball

In November, we signed P up for Upward basketball. We heard about it through some good friends at church. It was a super quick decision to sign him up too....all of like 15 minutes because it was the last night. He's enjoyed practices thus far on Monday evenings and had a good time. Today was his first game and he had been dreading it ALL week. NERVOUS...pretty much sums it up. Today, however, he faced his fears and played the game. He even got the ball and was able to dribble! He even got to shoot it, but it was in the other team's goal! He did very well for his very first time playing basketball. Bill and I are so proud of him!

Lots of smiles kind of day

Such a handsome boy...filled with a lot of giggles today!
That face so precious and her smile is contagious!
Parker got out his Explorabook tonight before bed. So we played a bit by bending light waves.

This was such a fun activity! One I'm sure they'll do tomorrow again for Daddy and Chloe!
