The Princess is never bored!

All I did was walk to my room to put laundry away and then walk back to the living room......


And this is what I found!

She is such a little stinker! :)

Time For Fall Maddness!!!

This is Hanah's volleyball team. They played thier first game last week in Argonia and won! They were so excited, happy and scared all at the same time. It's a great group of girls and we wish them the best to them for the rest of the season. Go Dragons!!


Last weekend Craig and I took the kids to their first OU game. Needless to say they had a blast! We didn't have the best seats, but just being in the stadium atmosphere made all the difference. Below is the view that we had of the field.


Hanah took this picture of Craig and I. We were standing in line at the concession stand.

Don't you just love the sea of crimson and cream!?!? It was a memory made that will NEVER be forgotten.

Busy Kids

Just wanted to throw out a quick update. The last week has been pretty crazy! Hanah has her very first volleyball game today. She's very excited. They play in Argonia. I'll make sure to take some pictures and post them on here as soon as I can. Halie is doing great. Still pushing hard at soccer. She's had a couple of issues with her blood sugar lately. I hope to get those figured out next week. Then there is Cody Man. He's constantly going. Either outside, at a friend's house or always begging to play the play station. (Which I successfully hid for a week, then got it out of the cabinet to move something and forgot to put it back...) Ms. Sadie is feeling much better! We had to change her breathing treatment medicine because she had a reaction to it. We go back on Monday for another chest x-ray and find out what's next. I'll let you all know asap!!

The Princess Is 9 Months Old Today!!!

Today marks 9 months old for our Princess Sadie. It's amazing how fast they grow and change. A couple of days ago she took her first few steps! Happy 9 months my sweetheart!!

A Fun Filled Labor Day Weekend

We always look forward to Labor Day weekend. Craig usually gets off work early on Friday and we have him for 3 days!!! It has become a tradition the last few years for Elaine (Craig's mom) to rent Trent's (my brother-in-law) water slide and have a party. This year it was on Sunday.


Cody is a sucker for anything water!

I wasn't able to get any pictures of Halie on the slide, because...well...she just wouldn't stand still long enough for me to take a picture! =) As usual, the day ended with a rousing game of football. The kids had a great time. Except for Ms. Sadie. She woke up sick Sunday morning all stopped up and just not feeling good. We ended up taking her to the doctor Monday morning. She is on breathing treatments and an antibiotic now. Feeling much better!

Have a great day!!

Well, it's finally here. The first day of school. Look how excited everyone is! They were all up by 7 and completely ready by 7:30. I finally broke down and took them at 7:45. Every year we get a little anxious and end up being the first ones there. Not this year though. We went with the rush of everyone else.


Mr. Cody is in 2nd grade this year. His teacher is Mrs. Baalman. She's awesome! He will be making his first communion in April. He's already excited for that! His best friend Peyton gets to sit at his table this year too (until they get in trouble for talking that is).

Halie was embarrassed to have her picture taken. Notice that she has no glasses though. She got contacts! Yeah Halie!! We will see how well she does with them this year. Her 3rd grade teacher is Mrs. Allen.

And here is my baby. This really made me tear up. Hanah is in 6th grade. Her last year at St. Joseph. Her last year in grade school. She's also playing volleyball this year.

Now, onto the soccer pictures that I promised. This is also Hanah's last year playing soccer. I'm sure next year will be full of cheerleading, volleyball, basketball and track!

Lucky Hanah has me to coach her this year! So far we are having a great season!

And her is my little athlete Halie. She loves anything sports! She gets that from her dad. Her and Cody are on the same team.

And little Cody man. He is a lot of fun to watch!! He's all over the field and most of the time on the ground. He plays so hard and gives his all. He's such a good little guy.

Have a great day everyone!

The Last Day of Thier Summer

Today is the day! The last day of summer for the munchkins. They started off not wanting to get out of bed (neither did mommy) and proceeded right to what they do best. Fighting!! No one wanted to clean their room. Everyone wanted to blame something on someone else. And mommy wanted to silently slip out the door and not return until after daddy got home from work. Oh sweet sweet wishes.....

Everyone has soccer tonight. I hope to post pictures sometime this week. They are having a blast playing. Cody is making cupcakes to take to his team. I'll take some pictures and let you know how they turn out. ;) Have a great day everyone!
