Loving my kiddos:)

I sure have had a good week! My kiddos have been in and out with school ending. AND.....Chelsea and Bo came a visiting!! My nephew Cade graduated from Kindergarten...YEAH Cade!! We have eaten together, sat at games together and played together! Such a treat:) I am behind, again, but not the least bit worried. There is a time to simply enjoy and I have been enjoying! So this is a picture blog entry:

Sarah and Cooper waiting on the Kindergarten graduation to begin:)

Sandy and Chad with all three of their boys, Cade is their first to graduate from Kindergarten. Cade is such an excellent student. The first kindergartner in 11 years to take accelerated reader tests...he had FORTY points! A HUGE deal:) What a great way to start your education!


Chelsea and Bo made it in time to have lunch with me, Dad and ClaraRuth....again....such a great treat!!


My oldest girls, together for two whole days:) I am so very proud of the people they both have become!


Perhaps making everyone love and miss her all the more (especially ME!) Chelsea was up and fixed french toast for everyone Tuesday morning. You can tell she had lots of "sitters" and talkers. These little brothers and sisters sure do love Chelsea!


This is a common site in the kitchen:) Scott is a great daddy! lol...After 8 girls he can do the pony tails really well!!


Chelsea and Bo have lots of neat rerun sports stores in PTC and brought the kids this great gear for the baseball field:)


Chelsea and Bo..


Sarah and Paden..


This last picture was taken with Chelsea and Bo and my elementary school kids:)

Every field has them...

Every field has them and every field is blessed by them....spectators. They are friends, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers.... and my children are really blessed with an abundance ...lol...when it rains it floods siblings at our house:)

This week games were slim due to rain, that made our field of spectators quiet large!

Dip Dip What?

Sarah and Paden were practicing for their future Dancing with the Stars debut ...I can assure everyone it will be very short lived:) They were dipping with each other and the kids....Obviously Paden is a good dipper.

Sarah and Seth missed the objective somehow? lol:)

Jeremy and Hannah!

Jeremy, our nephew at Freed, messaged me last week that he and his sweet girlfriend Hannah were going to come and visit. Neat Neat! I know they are so very close by, but school is a bit demanding (lol) and my life is generally crazy ( lol again!) and we just do not get together like we should!

I was so glad to be able to chat and visit...the kids all loved it. Hannah and Sarah went to my bible class, while Stuart, Paden and Jeremy went to class with Scott. After church we finally (I was slipping a bit!) managed to stop and get some pictures...I love these kids!!!

Sweet sisters!

Sarah had promised Tori she would make chocolate covered strawberries for her Chocolate tasting Day on Friday. Last night about 9:30 (after an afternoon of fun and church) Tori suddenly remembers that her chocolate tasting was moved to THURSDAY since the fitness challenge was moved to Friday. Scott got up this morning (early this morning) and went to Wal-Mart to get the berries. I washed and dried them. Sarah, well Sarah worked her magic on them and voila`.....beautiful double chocolate berries! Tori came home saying they were ALL eaten:) She was so happy! Thank you Sarah:)

Jake's Jake:)

This morning Jacob and Michael got up very early, walked into the woods about 2 1/2 miles and waited for this turkey:) I know Jacob was tickled but Michael was just beside himself....he was talking 90 to nothing telling me the "whole" story:) I loved it. Memories...that's what these kind of days make. Jacob did find Michael a turkey and Michael shot, sadly missing, but the excitement certainly wasn't missing!

They got all cleaned up and were off to school (late but happy)!

My Mothers Day gift from Scott:)

My Mother's Day gift from Scott was the first two years of my blog (2005-2006). What a super neat treat for us all!! The first two books arrived yesterday and my children have all sat around enjoying them:) I am super duper pleased with this blog printing place...only wish I didn't blog so much! lol:) I might be getting months and years of the blogs every birthday, mother's day and Christmas for years to come!
