Goose Egg

Daddy watched the kids today during my doctors appointment. Paige was walking outside, tripped and fell face forward. Daddy said instantly a goose egg started forming. Paige's first big boo boo.

Hangin' w/ cousins

We were very lucky this last week to get to spend some time with my niece and nephew. They played hard everyday. I don't know how I made it through with being really sick and having five kids. I am just sorry I didn't get to do more things with them. I will have to plan some more time with them this summer.

Splash Party

Kyle and Justin got invited to a birthday party at Splash. Splash is an indoor water park. They boys had a blast. Daddy wasn't to sure about going, but I think he had just as much fun as the kids.

Turning 7

My oldest son is turning 7 years old

next month. Kyle you are the most generous,

loving and caring little boy I know. I still remember the day you were born.

Kyle - I Love You very much.
PURE JOY!!!!!!!

Geo Trax Mania

Grandma June started the Geo Trax collection

when Justin turned two years old. Over the last

two years the trax have been building and

building. Mommy gets into the building just

as must as Justin does.Since Kyle returned back to school, Justin

thinks we have to build train tracks everyday.

Justin's two favorite things to do are build train

tracks and draw. I really hope he puts these

two things to great use when he gets older.

Just now downloading snow pics

We all had a blast playing in the snow. We had

a neighborhood snowball fight.

She is climbing again

Everytime I turn around, she is up to something or up

on something. A couple of weeks ago, she figured how

to get on Justin's bed and climb on the dresser. Then I found her on the dishwasher. Where will I find

her tomorrow or next week. This little girl is going

to give me a run for my money. LOOK OUT MOMMY!!!

Like Father Like Son

Kyle and I were reading in the living room

last night and Justin came around the corner

looking like this. Grandma June got them these funky teeth

in their Christmas stockings. They are the ugliest

things I have ever seen.

I Love You - Tom

I decided to do this post today because

it is almost Valentine's Day.

Tom - I know

our days get busy with kids and

work. I get so caught up being a

mom that sometimes you get forgotten. I just want you to know that I LOVE YOU

very much. Thank you very much for

everything you do for our family and for

me. You go to work everyday without any

complaints. You never ask for anything.

You give your family all your time - hardly

ever taking your own time.

I thank God everyday for bringing you

into my life.

THANK YOU

Snow in Springfield

My next door neighbor took these pictures of us playing in the snow last week. The kids had a snow day on Monday, 2 hour delay on Tues. and Wed. and teacher conferences on Thurs. and Fri. It ended up being a very, very long week for mommy. I have a lot more pictures of the snow, but my camera battery died. I found out that you can only get rechargeable batteries directly from Kodak.com. I am still waiting for it.

Knowing what you want

Little miss Paige is definately getting a mind of her own. I was peeling an apple for Justin the other day and Paige keep yelling at me. She kept grabbing for my apple. I gave her the apple to take a bite and she didn't want to give it back to me. She proceeded to eat half of the apple.

Paige's friend

This beautiful little girl belongs to our good friends that just happen to live next door. She is eleven weeks old today. Paige has to give her kisses and check on her the whole time she is here. It is a bummer that just as we are leaving Springfield I have found a new SISTER (right Tom & Kelly). It is really great to have somebody that you can say anything to (right Dawn, Addie & Kris) and not worry that they will judge you. I know I can be ME!!!!!!! Thank you for that Kelly.

Neighbor Friend

This is our neighborhood squirrel. He loves to run along the top of the fences and up the big tree in our backyard. He will sit on the back fence and stare at Paige in the window. He keeps us entertained.
