Happy Valentine's Day!

So with Valentine's Day coming up soon my Mother-in-Law made these valentines of the kids for me. I love how they turned out! Happy Valentine's Day!

Busy Busy

So with the move and the Holidays behind us, I feel like I finally have time to blog a little. We are moved in and are getting used to our surroundings. Princess will start school on the 4th. We waited until the holidays were over because it took so long to figure out buses. She has to be bused to a school across town because the school that is down the street from us is full. Hopefully they will figure it out soon. The boys are doing good and like our new house and backyard. Scot is doing good and work and is enjoying it. I am staying busy around the house and with the kids. We like it here and are having a good time. We still miss our friends back in Kansas and think about them often.

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed being together after almost two months apart. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you have a great New Year!

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.
