Tiago is SOO cute!
Packer still loves Fortnite.
The kids all helped Ben clear out last years garden while I was at my basketball game.
We’ve been eating lots of bananas – especially when they are personalized for school lunch.
And some classic “Burrito, Burrito.”
We had fun on a Friday afternoon doing our family pictures!
After pictures we went to Costco and loaded up on Snacks for Spring Break. And had dinner there while we waited for our pictures to get done 🙂
Sometimes it still doesn’t seem real that we have 7 amazing kids ! ! !
I am really here. Am I really living? Do my actions show my love for God? Do my children and family and friends and God know what is important to me because of how I live?
Go Forward and Love Life. Change you attitude. Accentuate the Positive.
These quotes help me contemplate the way that I am living and spending my time. They help me have an eternal and positive outlook.
Skate Night! All of the kids had skates and scooters and switched back and forth between both. Tiago cruised around on his scooter. Millie tried skating but was much better off scooting. Ray skated and then got a scooter so he could go with Ryder and Max. All 3 of the youngest spent lots of time in the arcade and playground and trying to sneak into the jump houses. Rose skated with Ellie and Cali skated with Anna and they all had lots of people from school that they knew. I skated and helped everyone else put on their skates. (The others opted to stay home and chill out this time.)
After eating our Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner we were cleaning up the kitchen and Ben dared one of the kids to eat a big piece of fat from the meat. Millie was the bravest and said she would do it. She took 4 big bites and had it all in her mouth but she couldn’t swallow the last bite and then started coughing and then ran to the garbage to throw up! It was so gross that Benji joined in with a Big sympathy barf and all of us were DYING of LAugHtEr. It was a perfect mixture of gross and funny and unbelievable. A St. Pattys that we won’t forget!
We’ve spent some of our time in the hot tub – Best Christmas Gift EVER. We watched Benji get the last of his required merit badges and Alessandro get his Eagle! We took a load of our junk to DI and another load to the Dump – it felt so good to get rid of stuff. We’re still working hard at Scripture study and finding ways to get everyone involved. We had some sunny weather and had reading time out on the LAWN! And the goals are up in the backyard for some friendly soccer!
“Then and Now” pictures just break my heart!
They’re growing SOO fast!
We didn’t have school on Monday so we went to find snow. There was only about an inch on the ground but we had so much fun at Bird Cage Park! The weather was perfect and in the 40’s. We ended up sledding for almost 3 hours!!! Best Sledding Day ever!
Sometimes Kelsey comes down and spends the night and plays with the kids and tries to beat us at Nertz and stays for Sunday dinner and then drives 2 hours home late on a Sunday night when she NEEDS to get back for work.
Good Times!
