New Toy!

Well, for the last 3/4 months the boys have been saving/confiscating, however you want to look at it, all the change in our house and have saved up $169. They have been wanting to get a new outdoor toy for the summer. This week I found what they've wanted on sale and then I had another 30% off coupon at Kohls. After coupons and discounts and their money they saved and not to mention Kohl's Cash, this new toy only cost ME $20. And let me say we tried it out the Hot day we had last week and it keeps them busy forever!!! It was nice to see them actually save up for something and watch the joy in their eyes when they actually got to buy it. here is a photo of them with their new toy...

Got 'em!!

This squirrel has been tormenting Libbey ever since the first nice day we've had. It runs along the fence teasing her. I though she was going to take the whole fence down one afternoon. My brother keeps telling us to take her hunting, well I think this is a hint. She was outside being good and I went to let her in the house and she was sitting in her usual spot on the table waiting to be let inside. I did a double take when I saw a squirrel haning out of her mouth. She didn't draw blood but I think she just squeezed him a little too much. I made her drop it and I think she was mad that it wasn't moving. I don't even know if she knew she killed it. Boy was she sure proud of her catch!!!! Maybe the rest of squirrels will leave her alone now....

Happy Easter!

Let's just say getting 3 boys to sit still for photos is getting harder and harder...

11 months old!

Yes, we are still here....it's been a crazy couple months.
Levi is 11 months old today and this is his new 'thing' to do. He doesn't play with his cars he sits on the track instead. He thinks he is so funny. He is taking a few steps and has 4 teeth now. That was a horrible ordeal to say the least. Hopefully we are on to better, healthy, WARMER days!

Spring...where are you?

Anyone else sick of the never ending snow????
I know we are in our house. This year, snow means sickness. It was no exception this week. Ty started the week with Strep, Levi filled in the middle with pneumonia (which we are still watching closely) and now I started with a little bit of everything in one. I think Wyatt will round out the week with a little of whatever since his nose is running and he started coughing like the rest of us. Some how Jon has survived this so far, I think it's because he didn't go to Holland with us last weekend.

Baby Jack's Day!

This day 4 years ago we said both hello and goodbye to our 2nd son, Jack Alan. We call today "Baby Jack's Day". We'll be heading out to the cemetary when Jon gets home to send him some Happy birthday balloons with a few little messages on them. Every year so far it's been sunny and clear just like today...the boys, especially Ty, love to watch the balloons until you can't see them anymore. You know I think about what life would be like if he had made it here with us and it makes me sad. Then I look at Wyatt and Levi and think that they probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for the loss of baby jack. I can't imagine life without those two. I guess God knows what he's doing and there is a reason for everything. I love my boys, all 4 of them.
