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.

Wyatt's Day

Today I decided was going to be a Wyatt and Mommy day. Do you ever feel like the second (or 3rd) kid doesn't get to do the things you did with your 1st. With the first one you have all the time in the world but when the next come along your time with each one becomes pretty rare. So today I took Wyatt (with Levi tagging along of course but he doesn't do too much yet to interfere)and did some fun things that Ty and I used to do. First we went to Peace Lutheran and signed him up for 3 year old preschool for the fall. Can you believe he's that big already????? By the way I love the preschool program at Peace....... Then we went to Center Courts for the toddler Play time. They fill the gym with all kinds of toddler toys and the kids just kind of run 'wild'. It was interesting watching him interacting with kids other than his brothers. I found out that we have a lot to do with the sharing and taking turns with others. A job for mom to work on.....From there we went to McDonalds for lunch and got to go INSIDE!!!!! we never do that. He could climb up the playscape so mom got to go inside with him. (I'm not going to lie, it's kind of scary in there) Next on to Target for a few dollar toys and then off to get Ty from school. He was very excited about his "Wyatt and Mommy Day" and now he's trying to stay awake to watch a movie! I'm not sure who had more fun, me or Wyatt.

Skating with the Spirit!

last night Ty and Jon got to skate at a kind of 'meet and greet' with the local hockey team, the Saginaw Spirit. I just had to share this photo of him with some of the Spirit players....

Ty's Party

Well, we were brave this weekend and Ty had 16 friends over for his birthday party and 3 little brothers too. None of the parents stayed so it wasn't really bad at all. We had no issues....all the kids were great. He had so much fun.....

Happy 6th Birthday Ty!!!

I can't believe he is already 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to spend the day at school with Ty today for this birthday. It was lots of fun to see him work and play with his wonderful teacher and friends. I also had lunch with the kids!! I don't have his baby photos on here since it was before I had a digital camera.....can you believe that? Here is his 6 year old photos we just had taken....
