So yes, we did celebrate Easter and yes, we had a great time but haven’t had time to get anything posted. We colored eggs as usual. I am pretty sure Seth had more fun than the kids. By the time they started on them Seth had already colored nearly half. We also decided to attend …

Highland Elementary Spelling Bee Champion!
Today was the spelling bee at Highland Elementary for all fourth, fifth and sixth graders. There were actually three spelling bees taking place. The students were separated into three groups (A,B, & C). Group A used the hardest words, group B used the medium words, and group C used the easier words. Students were put …

Makeovers
Moving into a new house has made me antsy to do some updating. The bedrooms especially needed a makeover. The paint was scuffed, dirty and not my preferred choice of color. So as I got time I have worked on Jacob and Katelyn’s bedrooms. In Katelyn’s room I had someone come in and add wainscoting …
One big dude (as he would call himself)!
As much as I pretended Drew wasn’t ready to be potty-trained, he keeps persisting. After finding Drew naked peeing on my floor (luckily he prefers wood over carpet) on several occasions I decided it was time. On Saturday we gave it a whirl and he did great! He had a two accidents but that is …
“Uh, I forgot.” What?!!
So yesterday was one of those days I hope to never experience again. It began early in the morning. Too early. I didn’t get much sleep and to hear my alarm ring at 6:00 am, I thought I was gonna cry. After getting all the kids ready for school and then dropping them off at …
Concerned? Very. Convinced? Not yet.
Little Ellie has been suffering from a cough and congestion for over three weeks now. It doesn’t seem to be worsening but it has kept her up the last couple of nights so Seth and I decided it was time to take her to the pediatrician just to be sure she was okay. With six …
A special surprise
I put Drew down for a nap today. After and hour or so I heard him yelling “Maw-Nee-Naa!”. I went in to get him and to my surprise I found this: and this: No, we don’t normally put our kids down for a nap in the nude. Drew figured out how to completely undress himself …
Ouch!
We were up at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson’s house visiting this evening. A little while into our visit we hear the girls yelling that Drew was bleeding and then we hear Drew screaming. Apparently he was outside riding a little trike and it tipped over on Grandpa’s ramp and the edge cut an inch long …
Maw-Nee-Naa
For many years I have been known as “mommy”, “mom”, “mama” (and maybe even a few other choice words!), but I don’t believe I have had any of my kids actually call me by my real name. Drew is the first. My name is pretty hard to say but he doesn’t have too much trouble …
Ellie, Drew & Claire photo shoot
So our life has been a bit hectic lately to say the least. This is my excuse for not getting sweet Ellie’s photos taken professionally. Kara Simmons Photography had taken photos for another relative and I thought she did a good job so I gave her a call. Kara came to my house with all …
