Drew is just over six months now (actually almost seven months on Aug. 6). I figured I needed to give a photo update for Oma Ria again. He has become somewhat mobile in that he rolls all around the house. He loves to smile and show off his two front teeth. He is also starting …

Do my hair Mom!
I have three little girls and that makes getting ready for the day a bit of a chore. I never know what to do with their hair and I have to do something or else they look like orphans. The other day a good friend of mine recommended a blog she came upon. It is …
First set of stitches
With five kids, church on Sunday is usually an adventure. This last Sunday was even crazier than normal. I had taken Claire to the bathroom, and while trying to exit the stall carrying her on my hip, she let out a little yelp and then started crying about her foot. I thought I had just …
Man vs. Wild
The kids wanted to sleep outside the other night by themselves, and we let them. They were cold, but they “survived” all through the night. They wanted to be like “Bear Grylls” from Man vs. Wild. Seth and I were sure we would hear them sneaking in within an hour but we were wrong. They …
Jacob’s baptism
Jacob chose to get baptized this past Saturday and we are so proud of him. What an awesome day! I went in to wake him up that morning and he jumped up and said, “Am I getting baptized today”? I said, “Yes,” and he said, “Oh mom, I am so excited!” It was a special …
Fourth of July 2008

Thanks to Grandma Jan for such a great day. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They look forward to this event as though …

Meggie Lou turns six!
Megan turned 6 today. As with Jake, it is so hard to see her growing up so fast. She already acts like she is sixteen! We celebrated her birthday with cousins on Saturday but she wouldn’t have been happy if we didn’t do some celebrating on her real birthday as well. She woke up to …
Happy 8th Birthday!
Happy 8th birthday to Jacob! It is hard to believe he is already turning eight. He is growing up so fast, too fast. We love him so much and are so proud of him. We love you Jake!
Can’t even believe it!
A few weeks ago my mom and I were visiting Macey’s grocery store and there was a nice Kenmore front loading washer and dryer being displayed. It was another dumb contest that you have to enter and then assume you’ll be contacted by a billion telemarketers. I walked passed it and my mom mentioned that …
