A little family Rock 'N Roll

James was playing Guitar Hero and the kids decided to join in....in their own unique ways of course. Couldn't really get any with Austin where he wasn't being mean to his sister, so he doesn't get to show off his talents this time.

Skylar and Kameryn wanted to do some vocals.

Brady wanted to do a little guitar.

Let the Field Trips Begin.....#1

I guess technically, this is probably more like the 3rd field trip my kids have had recently, but the 1st one I have had time to get a page made for.
Both 4th grade classes got to take a trip to Splash in Eugene today. James got to go be a chaperone, while I took the 3rd grade classes to the local park for winning a contest.
James was able to get a few pictures for me and Brady said he had a GREAT time...except for getting flipped over in the wave pool and hitting his head on the bottom of the pool...that was not so much fun.

Spring Soccer

I finally had some time to get some pages made, so here is the first one.
Austin started his 3rd season of Soccer and his first game was a double header.....the joys/heartaches of living in a small town that only has 3 teams for each age bracket. Oh well, he is having fun and is improving with each game.

A look at the future....

A little behind on my blogging, hopefully I can get caught up this weekend.



I like the fact that James lets Kameryn comb and "do" his hair usually whenever she wants to. Plus, him letting me get a picture and blog it for everyone to see shows me what a good sport he is when it comes to helping the kids try out new things.

Who knows, maybe Kameryn will be a beautician in the future....time will tell.

Another one lost.

After trying to convince Austin to let someone pull that tooth out....which was not happening...it finally decided to fall out all by itself. It actually came out while eating a bowl of cereal this morning.

Brady's 1st Catch!!

James took the older 2 boys fishing at Galesville Reservoir one day during Spring Break. After all the cleaning, we figured they needed a break. :')
Brady is the only one that caught a fish...and it is the first one he has ever caught.

Then when he got home, there was the cleaning to be done......more on that one at a later time.

Spring Cleaning....Room 1

The first room to get tackled was Skylar & Austin's room.....it took 2 days to get completed...how sad is that?
We had to take out their old beds, give one to Brady and give the other one away. Then James (with Brady's help) put together the new bunkbeds we got for them.....this is suppose to get Austin to sleep back in his own room...wish me luck on that one.
After 3 garbage bags of papers, broken toys and stuff we decided was no longer needed, the end results were amazing. Skylar even mentioned how nice he thought his room looked.
My wish is that it will continue to stay this way from now on.
To those of you whose kids always keep their rooms clean....I salute you and would love to know what the trick is to it.
