Karli has been working so hard at her gymnastics skills. We were so excited when her dance teacher decided she could do a tumbling pass the beginning of the jazz routine! This upcoming dance year Karli wants to try out for competition dance, but I’m still a little torn. I mean I want her to [...]

May has been a tough month, but I am ready to get back into the swing of things. I’m sitting here watching the Bachelorette, hopefully with my sweet Grandmother, who recently passed, watching with me from up in heaven. This was one of her favorite shows. I will miss her calling me asking me if [...]

Did we want more kids after having 3 boys? Were we going to keep trying until we got a girl? The other day I received an email asking my thoughts on finally having a girl after having 3 boys. The reader also wanted to know if I was afraid that my husband could only produce [...]

Karli and I had a Girls Day on Saturday. I love these days where we really have nothing in particular to do so we hop in the car and run to several stores and such. First we made a stop at the library because we had some books to return as well as Karli wanting [...]

I have to admit I love when I walk upstairs to make sure everyone is sleeping and I find one of the kids still up reading. It reminds me of the days when I used to sneak a flashlight in my bed and hide under the covers so I could read just one more chapter [...]

Weekends always go by way too quickly. I sure would like to know the moron that created the 5 day workweek. Why not at least make it a little more even and make it 4 days of work and a 3 day weekend? This weekend I spent quite a bit of time relaxing, but also [...]

Growing like weeds

When did this happen? Proof of how time flies. Love Andrew’s buzz cut, his souvenir from going to football camp over the summer- a buzz cut for his school picture! It’s tradition for all of the football players to shave their heads at camp. I can’t say that I like Andrew’s hair that short either. [...]

Photos from Andrew and Ali’s Homecoming in October. I had to laugh because all day he laid on the couch and chilled and didn’t get up to shower and get ready until like 20 minutes before he had to pick up Ali. He picked her up and they got photos taken at Ali’s house and [...]

Too many days have passed since I have last blogged, wow. I’m gonna just jump right in with a funny story from tonight. Chase was watching TV and a commercial for Domino’s Pizza came on. He says, “Ew Mom, why would anyone want to get pizza from there when they touch it with their hands?” [...]

Today was Open House for Chase and Karli. They were able to meet their teachers, drop of their supplies, and mingle with their friends after a long summer. (Notice I said long, haha.) Karli was lucky enough to get the same teacher that Chase had last year. I love when this happens! Now 3 of [...]

As I was cleaning up some emails I found these photos from Chase’s baseball game and I just had to share. There is my little man, the crazy one in the bottom left corner. The kid certainly has a personality all his own. Then there is Ken up there checking out his own muscles and [...]

Karli did such a great job at her dance recital. I have to upload the videos yet, but when I do I will be sure to share. For now, here are the photos. She looked so pretty in her costumes! Her tap routine, the outfit with the hat, was a small group of only 4 [...]
