time

they all grow too fast! i have just been looking through all my pictures and thinking how very behind i am in scrapbooking! :)

My sweet husband in the big city, he has been in new jersey since thursday and won't be home till sunday.
But we had Becca, Craig and Hannah here till today. we had a lot of fun visiting and letting the kids play. i will have to post pics from the park.
and tonight drake and zoey are here for a sleep over so there mommy and daddy can have a date night :) I love having everyone here! I am missing my sweet man though I am glad he will be back tomorrow.

What a fun weekend! went with the boys to sale popcorn for scouts and we are almost half way to there goal of 600 a piece. so that is happy news, they are so cute people kept saying, I just could not tell them no :) some would even be like all I can give is this, and they would hand us a few dollars. we are going to combine those and make up the difference to donate to the troups :)

So as of the 8th dave and I have been married for 9 years :) it just dosen't seem like it has been that long. looking back on everything we have been through school, jobs and just life in genral I am so thankful that i have spent them with my bestfriend and the love of my life. it isn't always easy but it is always worth it! tonight a good friend of mine is taking the kids for a while so we can have a date. I am going to make taco's and then mabye we will go have ice cream :)

This is the first week I have taken the boys to and from school this year and I have decided that i so need to get my clock back on schedule. They are really liking their theachers though, and they are really sweet ladies. I am so glad they have them. I always pray that their teachers will know what the boys need to learn and grow.

I love the weekends,spending time with dave and our boys! we have such cool kids, I just enjoy being with them and hearing what they are learning and what they are interested in. They are grwoing so fast. seems like it was only yesterday they were tiny like Spence.

here are some updated pictures of our sweet family :)

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. :)

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.:)

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. :)

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!
