Final Score: Boys 2, Girls 2

A hard worker

Ryans been with the city since 2001 and I have NEVER seen with my eyes what he does.

I mean, I know he's a mechanic, but what all does that entail?

Out of the blue one of his co-workers emailed me pictures this week of him in action!

Drained....literally...

How come kids don't come with manuals?

I thought when our 4 chicklings were infants that was the EXPENSIVE stage in life.

This week my theory has been proved incorrect.

Let me share:

Monday- Christian needed $114.00 for ASB

Tuesday- Maddy needed $95.00 for the spring show performance fee

Wednesday- Maddy needed $100.00 for her 2 costumes for the show

Thursday- Christian needed $125.00 for his track uniform

 

2 thoughts from Ethan

From the mouth of a 5 year old....

I logged him onto Webkinz online to play a game and he said "Ohhhhh, put the language in French, I love French!"

In talking about his big brother Christian.  "I think Bubba is really cool, but also really lame!"

Makenna Jean turned 7

This past weekend was Makenna's 7th birthday.  Its insane to think our sassy spunky little girl is already 7!

When she was little I always said she was going to be tom-boy, but shes the polar opposite! She is a girly girl right down to her bones!

So we celebrated her specal day with a Tea Party!

I think she loved every minute of it, right down to the rainbow sherbert cupcakes!

Exciting News!

No I am NOT pregnant! (This thats always where your brains go when I mention "news")...

But.....even better, my other half since birth is! She's expecting her first baby in August!

I am so excited, its like you would think I'm pregnant or something!!!!

No seriously, we've been friends since birth and we always did everything together, so the fact that our kids are going to be almost 15 years apart is crazy! This baby is long overdue and already loved so  much!

Stacey Jean I am so happy for you!

Wait...

Yep.

Just WAIT for it!

I'm on a weekend HIGH

 

I had the best weekend!

I think I'm high from it...

Nothing really special, I just loved being with Ryan and the kids.

Saturday I did stuff around the house, while Ryan studied and then we went on a HOT date that night. We did some birthday shopping for Makenna, had dinner and went to the movies.

Sunday, Ryan was gone for the day, so I hung out with the kids. We did their valentines and then went to the movies and dinner.

It was just a nice relaxing weekend, where we soaked up time with each other and I loved every minute of it!

In much demand!

I love knowing my blog is "in demand". Ok well not really in demand but I have gotten emails, texts and facebook comments questing where a bog update is and I gotta say I love the attention my little blog gets!

I have been really neglecting blog updating because it seems like if I'm logging onto the computer PINTEREST sucks me in and I cant stop! It is a major time suck for me! I think I'm addicted actually.

Anyways....so an update...

Ryans doing great in school, the kids had him hang his first paper on the art/test clips next to theirs... I dont kike him being gone, but am very proud of his decision!

Maddy is loving her pointe classes.  I hate having her at the dang studio 5 nights a week, but she is totally smitten with dance.

She doesn't mind this...

Because it leads to this...

Christian loves being on the highschool track team, he enjoys practices, but dislikes conditioning days. His first meet is March 1st, which will be special because its Ryans birthday!

Ethan started T-ball last night and is lucky to have several boys he knows on his team!

I did alittle shopping with some gift cards from Christmas and bought myself a new Juicy purse

Last weekend I redid a photo wall in our living room and I really like the way it turned out!

Wednesday night we cut Madyson some bangs...I hate how grown up she looking....Bye Bye little girl..hello pre-teen!

Ok thats enough filling in for today. More to come tomorrow. Stay tuned!
