Groundbreaking!

It's official....we have officially broken ground for the new school. Today all students and staff went out to the site with their hard hats and plastic shovels. They each got a bottle of dirt to take with them too! Here's Hannah enjoying all the festivities.

Can Someone Tell me Why?

Could somebody please tell me why this little guy


is so OBSESSED with 1) toilets flushing - no one goes potty alone in this house, and Sunny makes sure it flushes ok

and 2) putting fresh sheets on beds? It takes twice as long to put them on, and you have a strange "lump" in the middle of the bed when you are done. That "lump" makes little meowing sounds!

Funny Friday Pic

I was browsing the internet, and I found the cutest picture! What do you think?


After the long week I've had, this picture made me laugh.

You Go Girl

Hannah's halftime dance. Isn't she cute??? (you better say yes) 8-)

Football!!

We had a football filled weekend. Logan played in Wapak Saturday. (they tied) He started out as a running back, but was made quarter back later in the game. Guess what? HE THREW A TOUCHDOWN PASS! Yes, we may have a future Peyton Manning in our house!! Sunday the big kids played St. Marys. It wasn't a pretty game, but the kids played hard. It was also Hannah's first cheering experience.


After cheering her heart out in the sun and beautiful blue and white sky, we came home and she did this...

Best Buds

Tyler and Duey have really bonded. Tyler is the only one who can get Duey barking and growling in play. He's usually the quietest animal! When we hear him barking, we know he's in the room with Tyler. By the way...we found out not only is Duey part beagle.....but part GREAT DANE! Hope we have room here. Better get a bigger cage.

Sigh

I went to my blog this morning and right away saw my latest post. Hannah was so tiny! Then I scroll down and see her now. Where does time go? I can no longer lift her up. She has to jump up so I can hold her for a few seconds, but she doesn't like being held....thinks she's too old I guess.

I'm having a hard time right now. I guess a lot of it is seeing Hannah upstairs at school with me, out at Safety Patrol, doing 4th grade homework. I had to see Logan leave and go the Middle School this year. It seems once they leave the Elementary, it goes so fast. Tyler is already a Sophomore. Where did time go?

I remember being overwhelmed a few years ago. My little ones are only 17 months apart, so I was very busy. Then my personal life took a 180 degree turn, and I was a single Mom with a 2, 3 and 9 year old. It was so hard, but I wish I had those years back sometimes.

When Tom met Hannah he said she had chicklet teeth. They were so small. I miss those chicklet teeth! It meant she was little! We are so close, and she will still sit on my lap....only if no one is around.

What am I going to do when they graduate? I guess I can't worry about that right now. I must enjoy them NOW.
