Fun Run

We signed Princess up for a 1/4 mile fun run. She had so much fun and I had so much fun watching her.

What to do?

How do you celebrate a four year old's birthday?

A little bit of climbing


Some squirrel chasing


Cake decorating

So many things to do! Happy Birthday Crazy Man!

First Day of Kindergarten

Yes you read that right, Princess had her first day of school. I can't believe she is that old already. She got up at 6:30 got dressed put her back pack on and march into our room to tell us she was ready for school and to get up.

We had a special first day of school breakfast and took her to school.




I went into school and dropped her off. I turned around and was able to make it out into the hall way before the tears came. I was proud that I made it out of the room. We had a good first day and I am happy for my little Kindergartner!

Summer Trips

We have been so busy at our house this summer. We went to Nevada to visit Grandparents then came home for a little bit and found out that Scot had an interview in St. Louis. Scot's brother lives about two hours outside of St Louis so we went and visited them and had so much fun. Then we went to Maryland to visit some companies out there. We also interviewed with a company in California so hopefully we will find out soon if we have a job.

The tooth fairy has been to our house twice in one week. Princess lost her two bottom teeth. She was so nervous pulling them out so I helped her by singing a song and pulling it quick. She didn't know I pulled it out. That trick worked both times I think she is getting too smart for that trick to work next time.

This is what happens when a little boy who is still getting use to walking meets a sidewalk that has a slop.

Much needed break

Hurray for Scot! Three weeks ago Scot graduated with his Masters degree! That's right my friends we are done with school. I was so proud of him as they called his name and he walked across the stage. Yes there were tears from me and baby L (it was a two hour long ceremony baby L was done). After baby L healed from surgery and we tried up loose end at school we took off. We went on a road trip to Nevada to visit my parents who I have not seen since baby L was born. We had a fun trip and it was a nice vacation after 3 hard years of graduate school. I will post pictures later. Thank you all for your kind words and support during Baby L's surgery. We had a little scare at the hospital when Baby L had a hard time breathing after we got out of surgery, but the nurses and doctors were great and got everything under control fast. We are grateful it is done and that he recovered quickly.

Baby L's Big Day

Baby L is going in for his surgery on Monday 9th at 5:30 am. After talking to the doctors and the hospital I am not as nervous now as I was. Everyone is confident that things will go well and he will come out good. I was told today when I talked with the anesthesiologist that Baby L will have an upset stomach for a day or two until the medicine is out of his system. He will not be in that much pain (nothing a little Tylenol can fix) and should be back to normal by Wednesday. I have to say the anticipation for the surgery is killing me! I just want to get it over with. We are very blessed that this is not worse and I am grateful for that.

The Happy Times!

I am sitting in my living room right now watching my three kids playing in the play room. Everyone is happy and playing so nicely. Even baby L is getting in on the action of the game the older ones are playing. I look at them and remember how blessed I really am. Life goes through those moments when its really hard then you get a break. I know my break is coming soon I just have to make it past the tough parts. I am grateful for mornings like this one that remind me of whats important in my life.
