cool finds

Another keeper from our bulk trash area! Someone even left matches for me in this cool candle holder. I also snagged this little table to put our drinks on while out on the deck!

The girls LOVE their new find.....a toy! They love to pull themselves up and stand and play!

K studied hard for her History test and she was rewarded with a 101%!! Go Goose!

Mom's Day

I have been soooo beyond blessed with all four of our little miracles plus we have one waiting for us in heaven!  Our God is good! I know there are sooo many ladies out there with the desire to be a mom and my heart yearns for them to experience this! The joy, frustration, love, fun...........So much! I will not take this for granted! It is speeding by so fast and before I know we will be empty nesters! 

The girls only want  to stand lately!

Special time with Grandma

A LOOOONG Saturday

Last saturday, we started the day off with a 5K for the kids school! I ran the course the previous weekend but that is all the "training" I had done. Stupid, I know but I am glad to report I made it!! Yahoooooo! 

I finally ditched kaitlyn and her friend, E on the way back because their walkig up hills was getting worse than that! She finished only 2 minutes behind me! 

Conner and his friend, P, were happy to have finished and receive their medal!

However then the times came in and guess what??? Conner took first place in his age group! He made it 27 mins and says he would have been faster if he didn't have to stop to take his inhaler!!

And the trophy goes to this cutie! LOVE this kid!!!

After the race I took K and went with our friends to a HUGE yard sale that was in a parking garage//

FBI vs. Secret Service in a charity hockey game! So much fun!

Miss Kaia and O!!!

Iwo Jima

I love this Memorial! I'm not sure if it was because we were part of the Marine Corp or if it is because I love all things WWII! 

Gma and the girls went with me for the afternoon! I love this tree....still growing like this!

We've got a climber on our hands!

the load

I took this pic so I can remember how I we use to do this. The girls and I do a lot of shopping while the older 2 are at school. It is usually our big outing of the day! Since we are in an apartment complex for a little while there are some LOOOOONGGGG halls. I can't just leave the kids in the car and run the groceries the basement stairs...nope. I try to only do one trip so our double bob stroller usually has a heavy load to carry! And this is nothing...sometimes you can't see the babies at all! ;0)
