Christmas

Hi everyone! we are alive! and we are doing great! trying to get ready for christmas which is getting ever closer! :) I can't believe our little spencer is almost 1! it has gone by so fast! he is sooo fun! it won't be long and he will be running after the big boys. :)
Jeremy is doing great in Kindergarten! all the girls just love him, and he is making so many friends and just growing up so fast. its amazing how much schoool does that for them. he is reading and writing and just doing great!
Preston is a big bad 2nd grader and he is sooo fun! he is doing good to, just a bit of a dreamer.:) He has started reading some chapter books and I think he may be my little bookworm :) Did I mention that he LOVES math? I am not sure where he got that from, but he just loves it and is amazing at it. Science is his other favorite and he just soaks it up like a sponge!
Dave is doing fantastic! work is going really great. we had his work christmas party last night and it was amazing! great food and company. :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a great one! :)

Yes, We are alive

Hello! Oh my goodness it feels like FOREVER since i have been on and talked to you all! I am so going crazy without the internet! I am going to have to borrow a friends more often. :)
We are doing great, i just had parent teacher conf. for the boys and other than Preston being my little daydreamer they are doing amazing. Spencer thinks he needs to learn to walk, this mommy really is ok with him wating awhile though. :) he already climbs the stairs if he gets the chance. but he is just amazing, i don;t know what we did with out him all these years. he is such a funny baby. especaily if he is giving daddy a hard time.
Dave is doing good, feeling better all the time and work is finally getting busy again.
I am doing great, busy but great. besides I don't know what I would do with myself if i wasn't.
we are getting ready for the holidays, counting down to thanksgiving when grandma Tracy and Grandpa Brian will be here! we can't wait!
Dave and i are going chrismas shopping for the kids next week, Jeremy thinks we should take down Halloween and skip strait to christmas.:)
well I bettter go but take care and I will try to post more often.

Spencer with his 1st tatoo! He is getting so big! he is army crawling all over!

this is my silly jerbear! they played in the water at uncle Robert and Aunt Tricia's. we had a lot of fun visiting and eating yummy BBQ!

visiting

Our visit has gone by so fast! i still haven't made it to see everyone that I would like to. But we have been having so much fun! Mom and I took the boys to docter dolittle day at the zoo. I was on bears this year. We had a blast! the boys got to pet a milk snake and a chinchila. they thought that was pretty cool! we learned all kinds of things abt bears and saw the new sloth bears. the boys did a scavenger hunt as we walked threw and all three of them came home with a cute stuffed black bear. jeremy says his is a sunbear. :)
tonight we are having yummy roast and new peas and red potatoes!
My poor hubby is all by himself. but he is having a good time with our friends. he went to two bbqs and has a few dinner dates with afew of the familys from church. he will meet us in Island Park saturday for the wedding.
Wednesday night we are going to say with grandma and grandpa edwards. the boys are excited to see them and there cousins. we are hoping to see them all. but hopefully we will see brady and jeffery. I miss those sweet boys! :)

Hi everyone! I have missed my blog! this whole no internet thing is driving me crazy! LOL!
We are doing great! our summer is just flying by us! we have been staying busy with a week of vbs, a week of the youth mission trip and play days with our friends! there are 2 or 3 free spray parks and lake elmo to cool down at and ice cream trucks who come by for a yummy treat!
We had a big day on Sunday! David and Preston were baptised! Spencer was dedicated! it was an amazing day! We have been going to Trinity Baptist and I love it there! Not only are the people great but our family has grown so much in our faith in the Lord!
My monkeys are getting soooo big! Preston is 7 now and he will be starting 2nd grade this fall! Jeremy is 5 and will be going to all day kindergarten! And my sweet baby Spencer is almost 7 months! he has started to do the army crawl! I will have to post some new pics asap!

Thank you for all your hard work, love and the joy and happiness you bring to our lives! may today be as special for you as you are to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Field trip

we went to riverfront park today for a field trip with Prestons class. it was a lot of fun, the kids went on a scavenger hunt. they had to find things like a spring flower, blooms on a tree, signs of beaver activity. it was fun. cold but fun!

Spencer was bundled up like a Eskimo! but he was so good! he never cried once! there were so many geese! I loved seeing all the baby ones! we are going to have to go back and feed the geese! there were even a few ducks.

my little ham! he loves to pose for the pictures! LOL!

4 1/2 days to go

Preston has 4 1/2 days of school left! We are way excited! He has a field trip tuesday to a park some where here in billings. The little boys and I are going to tag along, it should be fun. I will have to take some pictures and post them.
We had a good day today, we went to church and came home and had a nap. well at least Spence and I had a nap. ;) I love my sunday naps!
It is already way to dang hot! I don't know how hot it was today but right now (@10pm) its still 73%. yuck! I know we complain abt the cold and then when its warm its to warm. oh well. my sweet husband tells me that its all abt having a good attitude. hmm...... maybe but I don't think a good attitude will change my body's reaction to the heat. it makes me sick. good thing I don't live some where super hot like arizona.
Spencer is doing better. I am crossing my fingers that he is finally starting to get better! the numbing drops for his ears sure do help!
Jerbear is good. the day after he was done with preschool he wanted to go buy his kindergarten supplies! I hope he stays this enthusiastic abt school!
My handsome hubby is doing great. they told him at work that he is doing so good! I swear if they didn't have him they would have to hire 2 people to do what he does!
We have soft ball tomorrow night, I am excited! I love to play it! we have 2 games this week. tomorrow night and then again on thursday.which just happens to be daves b-day.
well I better think abt going to bed, talk at you all later! :)

family

I love this Picture! They are so dang cute! it makes you want to kiss their cute chubby cheeks!

grandma is doing better! they were able to take the breathing tube out and she is talking and doing well. I am so glad! she has a ways to go to recover but the lord is good and he will be with her every step of the way! thank heavens!
here are the pictures I promised from mothers day weekend. It was so fun to spend time with everyone! we are all so spread out that it doesn't happen very often. we were still missing a few of us. But it was a wonderful weekend! I love my family! they are the best friends I could ever ask for!

Prayer

Prayer is such an amazing powerful thing! My grandma Lott had a stroke this last weekend and we thought we were going to lose her. but she is thankfully doing better now. she still needs our prayers though! As soon as I got off the phone with mom, Dave and I said a prayer for her and and Grandpa and the rest of our family. I've been praying off and on since.
It is so hard to be so far away at times like this! I wouldn't be able to do much to help, but at least I could be there to stay by our family. so instead I will just keep praying for her and have faith that our heavenly father knows best.
She is such a sweet person! I love her very much! She didn't even hesitate to bring Zane and I in as her grand kids! so please say a prayer for her as you read this.
Thanks! and god bless.
Am and family

Lunch

I had lunch with the 3 cutest boys today! Jeremy, Spencer and I suprized Preston and had lunch with him! Jeremy was so excited to go that he packed their lunches all by himself! I have a feeling that Jerbear will want to take cold lunch a lot next year. he has me make him one in his lunch box to eat at home now. :)

it was fun to go have lunch with him though!j tomorow is jeremy's last day of preschool.I think Spence and I might go hang out with him for the day.

its weird to not be going to the cemeterys this weekend. the kids and I have always gone and helped mom. the boys usually take their cars and play while mom does the flowers.

these pictures are from abt 2 years ago.
