Random Happenings

Matt has been hanging out in Holland since last Friday. He went there with his brother Steve on a business trip. They also got to see parts of Germany and Austria. We are so excited for him to come home tomorrow night! I am so grateful to not be a single Mom of 4 kids. We miss him so much!
Tooth extractions. Both Sophia and Rylie had to get teeth yanked the other day. Sophia's roots don't dissolve when her adult teeth start to come down which means happy gas and a hefty dental bill. Rylie just had this happen for the first time too, but hers was by her molars. So, not a good picture spot. I am not excited to see the bill on two kids with happy gas and tooth extractions. Yikes! Weird huh!?!

Updating the family picture wall. I just ordered the " At Home Is Where Your Story Begins" sign from a company called At Home America. I hear it's big in Utah,but it's not well known here in Oregon. I love it!


Ivy just comes along for the ride, but I thought this was a cute picture.



Adoring our new kitty Macy. Did you know that Macy means happy? She is a cuddler and purrs alot. She has decided that she likes to sleep with Rylie. We love her alot. The kids really love her alot which drives Macy crazy sometimes, which in turn makes me crazy. Who knew that we could fall so in love with a furry little critter.










Graduating from preschool. Eli is officially done with preschool. He will be my Kindergartener in the fall! He has learned so much this year and has loved hanging out with his preschool buddies.












Dancing. Rylie and Sophia just completed their first dance class.
They LOVED it! Here is a video of them showing off their hot moves!

What cute dancers. That's great they get to dance together. And they are dancing to "Wicked". HOW COOL IS THAT.

Your wall looks great.

Sorry for the tooth situation! That does NOT sound like fun but you are talking to someone who despises going to the dentist :(

Our boys must be the same age. Ben just completed preschool, too. I can hardly believe he will be in kindergarten next year!

Cutie girls. Love the dance moves!

Hi Tonya! I can't believe how big your kiddo's are! I can't believe Eli is going to Kindergarten next year! I remember when he was born.

It sounds like you guys have been super busy traveling the world. How much fun to get away with your hubby!

Come check out our blog when you get a chance. Thanks to my preschool parents, they hooked me on blogging!

Too cute is your new little kitty! What a busy time for you and the family. Hope things start to slow down with the end of school.

Happy gas...LOVE THAT STUFF! Don't love all the dental bills, though!

Love your wall sign--I'm gonna have to check that site out.

LOVED the dancing! How great it is to be free and dance like that!

Don't love the kitty. I'm sorry. I've just been traumatized one too many times by kitties that seem all cute until they turn on you by hissing and scratching!

Loving your blog! I'm going to steal your "I belong.." idea. Sweet. And I think your playlist is great. Don't get me going on teeth! I feel for you guys.
