Sammi Meets Lewis and Clark

Sammi's fourth grade class put on a production called "Lewis and Clark"...it was ADORABLE and the sound system was awesome (I had to put that in, since Matt volunteered to work the sound and changed everyone's lives. :) Seriously though, it was GREAT to be able to hear the kids and such. Props to Matt.) The kids did such a great job, and Miss Sammi stole the show with her song "Just Around the Riverbend". (Yes - that's from Disney's rendition of "Pocahontas"...I teased Sammi, informing her that she wasn't legit - that Pocahontas was NOT associated with Sascajawea. Her response:"It's SACAJAWEA, Mom, not SAScajawea." And then I am silent. Because I just got burned by my 10 year old. :) Here's Sammi in all her glory...so proud of her. Kids wanted their picture taken with her. *chuckle*

Happy Birthday, Matt!

March 2, 2012. Matt's birthday. He woke. He had a delicious breakfast made by his lovely wife. He worked. He received gifts. Aforesaid gifts: A lathe and assorted attachments/materials to go with it, some shoes, some shirts, dinner with his wife (yes, that is a gift), bowling....what more can a guy ask for?

Happy Valentine's Day

"You've Come a Long Way Baby!"

In January, Charlotte learned to sit like a pro and began solids. She's getting cuter and cuter every day...and bigger. *sad face*

Happy Birthday!

Whew! Starting December 29th, four of our kids have their birthdays in a 5 week period. (Matt's is a few weeks after that.) Anywho, here's a quick little view of their day (and all were healthy this year! ROCK ON)

First was Sammi's...she's now 10

Then Keith's - he's 5

Then came Eli's - he turned 3

Happy Happy Birthday!
