Citizen's academy

 This was the kid's first trip to the citizen's academy! they totally enjoyed themselves! Eye and hearing protection worn at all times and the bullet proof vests were used in the shoot house! This would be a kids dream come true!

 don't I have some cute law enforcers???

 Conner was practicing with the ram! He is going to bust down some doors!

 The SWAT team arrives!

 Sheild protection

 I got to practice my shot with the hang gun and riffle! My first shot landed in the bullseye! Here is my target for proof! Zoom in! I am proud. All of my bullets would have hit the right spot but when i started out with the riffle I wasn't looking at the proper site! Oh well...next time!

Tulips

These are a few of the tulips that have grown from the bulbs Tim brought back from Amsterdam! They are beautiful!

Sleep over

The C kid's father has been in the hospital after a double knee replacement! He has had a really rough recovery! We had the kids over after school on a monday so their mom could catch up on things! We walked home on a beautiful day! We played and sewed and goofed off! Then the kids were quiet! They were coming up with a plan!

 They made a list of rules that they promised to follow if they spent the night! I originally said no but then even though it was a school night I thought it would be better than the coming friday! So Tim convienced me it would be okay! The kids did a cheer for Tim after!

Let's just say this was probably their first sleep over at someone's house other than family! So you guessed it at 1030 pm ( Conner was out like a light) I ended up taking the three kids home! Oh well we tried!

Stephanie has been super woman lately! She is swelling and tired! It won't be long! The babies look great!!

Made it into the 30's!!!

Okay now it is getting really real!! I even packed a diaper bag tonight! Trying to get all of our stuff to TX is not going to be easy! Trying to figure when and how to get there and what to bring and all the logistics of work and school! This definitely isn't easy!

Go Brewers!!!

Tim is actually one of the assistant coaches again this year but of course he missed the team picture again!

 Here is Zippy with a few of his friends from the other team!

Our little catcher!

 He crushed it and is heading to first! SAFE!!!

On his way to third!

 The older siblings just hanging out! Friends since kindergarten!! They even asked if it was okay to take a "little walk" around the field together! :0)

She did it!!

Kaitlyn is not the most aggressive soccer player on the field but today was a complete turn around! She did so AWESOME!!!!! She even scored! She attacked the ball and did not give up!! I was one proud  mamma! (this pic is from last week and you believe I didn't get a pic of today? I was so into the game I didn't even think about it)
