Chase doing homework while squatting…this is a regular thing in our house.

I decided to take over Blake’s Kindle Fire since he hasn’t used it since he got an iPhone. Now I can read free books through Amazon Prime. First one I’m reading is Hidden by Catherine McKenzie.
Day 113
Shaggy doesn’t want us to change the TV channel. Must be a good program he’s watching.
Day 114
After 5 years of trading in my first Acadia…I got one again. Loved it the first time and should have kept it. I was stupid and had a Yukon for two years (too expensive when I only drive about 7,000 miles a year) and then went back to a minivan for a couple of years and got bored. So back to an Acadia, love it!!
Day 115
Beautiful day for baseball. This will be my life for the next 2 months or so.
Day 116
Teddy Bears!! The pups got buzz cuts like they do every spring. I love them like this, fuzzy wuzzy bears.

Next up on my reading list, Four Friends by Robyn Carr. It was a great book about 4 women that went through various troubles with the men in their lives.
Day 118
First Day in Las Vegas…. WINNING!!!
Day 105
I have tried many waxes to use in my Scentsy burner and these cheapy ones from Kroger make my house smell so good!
Day 106
Andrew is leaving for California tomorrow and he bought this tank to wear. Let’s hope Andrew doesn’t know how to party!
Day 107
Pretty darn excited that I get to turn this off for 10 days!! Happy Spring Break!
Day 108
Andrew left this morning for California with his two best buds. We pretty much told him to have fun, but not too much fun and stay out of jail, cuz we aren’t coming there to get you out!
Day 109
They don’t realize how lucky they are to have each other.

Day 111
Easter mass…Missing Andrew :(
Day 98
Enjoying a dinner out with the kids…Karli and I shared some lasagna. This is all we could eat!
Day 99
I can not believe our front yard solar lights made it through the winter. Usually I pack them away, but before I knew it they were covered in snow so they stayed out all winter. Amazing.
Day 100
Blake is a confirmed Catholic..Andrew was his sponsor =)
Day 101
Happy Birthday to my Dad!!
Day 102
Darn tulips keep coming back! I thought I had pulled them all up last year when we got the new rocks. But nope, they are determined and came back.

Chase is at Camp Storer this week. I hope he has fun and creates some lasting memories!
Day 104
Our dog..who thinks she is a cat.
Day 91
We got a new puppy!!! Ha,ha! April Fool’s! It’s baby Shaggy silly!
Day 92
Time for a new cut. Just another day in the never ending process of me growing my hair out and then cutting it off months later.
Day 93
Tori watching the rain. I just know she is thinking that it’s better than snow!
Day 94
You know it’s spring in our house when my car gets booted to the driveway to make room for the kids bikes and scooters.
Day 95
Karli got to meet Mari from Dance Moms (she danced with the Candy Apples last season I think it was). She thought it was the coolest thing EVER!!
Day 96
One thing that makes me feel great as a mom is to make special treats for the kids for no reason. I made them hot fudge brownie sundaes, YUM!
Day 97
I sometimes forget Andrew is 18 years old, especially when he can’t sit still in the doctors office without touching the medical equipment.
I’m thinking that people might begin to assume that the hashtag #365dog stands for 365 “DOGS” since I post so many pictures of my pups. But it’s not…It’s 365 Days of Gratitude for those who might be seeing this for the first time =) Every day I take a photo of something that makes me smile…something that I am grateful for.
Day 84
Pippa is telling Tori to sit still so she can clean her eyes!
Day 85
“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful”
Day 86
My daughter, the computer genius. Taking after her mother :) She created a mini movie for school with photos, music and captions. I was impressed!
Day 87
Just a typical evening of watching some tv…they don’t call it a loveseat for no reason.
Day 88
Chase competed at his first ever state competition. He took 4th, which is pretty amazing! When I took this photo he asked me to fix his ribs from showing. I was like…you gotta eat to fix that dude!
Day 89
It’s a heat wave here in Southern Michigan!!
Day 90
Andrew has been doing his own laundry for a few weeks now. I gave up on the battle of asking him to put the stuff away neatly after I did his laundry and later find it tossed on the floor, unfolded, etc. It was time for him to learn. Well, his method is even worse. He washes the clothes and then puts them back in a basket unfolded until he finds the time to fold them. Oh.MY.God. (Just gotta tell myself to walk away….)
Day 77
I love receiving free products via VoxBox!
Day 78
Little Miss Daisy lays around on her back like this all the time! It looks so uncomfortable to me.
Day 79
Thank goodness I got out of jury duty for next month. I sent in a letter stating a long list of things that I have going on that can’t be rescheduled. I was so stressed out over this. Phew!
Day 80
Karli and I caught the tail end of Eclipse on tv, so then she wanted to watch Twilight. I certainly wasn’t going to argue. Afterwards we watching Breaking Dawn 2. Nothing like going from the first movie to the last and skipping everything in between!
Day 81
The world of youth wrestling is insane. Some of these parents yell and scream and act so out of control I am embarrassed for them. But, hey, I guess they have heart right? You won’t find me doing that though. I practically hold my breath the whole time Chase wrestles.
Day 82
Andrew, Karli and I went to see Divergent today and it was amazing! Andrew decided to be our chauffeur, he had his dad’s Jeep for the week. Great day with my oldest and youngest!
Day 83
Happy Birthday to Grandma Rosemary!!
