The Big 40!!!

The Great Outdoors!!

A few weeks ago it was about 70 over the weekend!! The kids were dying to go out in the backyard and have a bonfire. So we roasted hotdogs and had smores for dessert. Oh how I look forward to the warmer weather. Charlie really misses having the kids outside with him!!

Little League

It is babesabll season , finally!!! The boys began their season this week. They lost the first game, but have many more to come. It was a chilly 40 degrees Tuesday night(bbbrrrrrrr!!). They play again this Saturday, and it will hopefully be in the mid 60's. Hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Resurrection Day in Idaho

What a joyous day it was!!! The Lord is risen, He is risen indeed!!!!!! We had a wonderful day spending it with Dave's family. As you can tell the egg hunt was indoors!! Still a bit cool and wet outside that day. My the Lord continue to bless each of you, every day!!! We love you!!

Idaho is going purple!!

In support of Epilepsy Awareness, we are showing our support!!!

The Double Digit Jo Bro Party!!!!!

I can't believe it, Lauren is now a double digit!! The big 10!!! I suprised her with tickets to the Jonas Brothers Concert 3D movie for her and a few friends. We went to dinner at her favorite place, Panda Express (my favorite too!!). The girls had a great time, and if you look close, so did David!!!

Spring, could it be???

Well the calendar says Spring, but I am not quite convinced. We were able to take advantage of a beautiful afternoon last Friday. The kids and I were out by Lake Coeur d'Alene, so we stopped to take some pics. Hope you enjoy them!!

A Hunting we will go!!!

I always enjoy the time spent hunting with my husband. As for him always enjoying hunting with his wife, maybe not!! As this year I missed two shots at two different bucks (OUCH!!!). Oh well, maybe next year!! I love you hunny!!!!

My Blessings!!

Here are the kids at thier Christmas Play. I thank God everyday for the school that the kids are going to !!! I can't believe how fast they grow. I am so tickled that David loves the plays as much as Lauren. They both really get into the music!! When I learn how to post a video I will let you experience it!!!

Time with Gram

I wanted to share a picture of Gram and I when she was visiting for Christmas. We had a wonderful time together. I miss her so much. Please keep her in your prayers, as she is having a terrible time keeping her itching under control. I love you Gram!!!!

Fun in the snow!!

I guess I should probably put some pics of the kids (Lauren, David, John and Matt) on my blog, instead of just my house!!!! These were taken the day after Christmas. Maybe by summer I will get pics on from March (hahaha)!!

Is it summer yet??

I am counting down the days until summer! Is it here yet? With still 2-3ft of snow in our yard, it is hard to imagine that it will ever melt away. With temperatures stll in the low 20's, the snow may be here until June (YUCK!!).

David starts baseball in a few weeks, and I am not sure how that is going to work out, with the fields still covered in that funky white stuff!!

I do praise God for the opportunity to enjoy all 4 seasons out here in the Northwest. Soon (I hope) we will see the beautiful flowers blooming in Spring. There is nothing more beautiful than the colorful tulips that will appear in our yard.

This is a great way or us to stay connected. I pray the Lord will bless each one of you, and continue to shower each one of us with His love and grace!!!
