Monday, July 20, 2015. They kids love digging them up after a rain. We went to Spencer's class picnic. He has made good friends with Tate and these girls. They were a pretty fun group. Spencer and Mrs. L-R. She has been the greatest teacher for Spencer. I love her old school methods and she is so patient. She helped Spencer work hard and not give up. We love her! Mr Young ran a kick ball game for two hours for all the kids during the class picnic. It was so fun to watch them. They also got me wet. We wen...

Sunday, May 25, 2014. One of the happiest times in our house is when the lego magazine comes in the mail. Spencer comes and snuggles in bed with me every morning. One of my favorite times of the day. Spencer missing lots of teeth! He loves to tell people that he is six and has lost six teeth! Brooke being a doll! The kids and I had to run a bunch of errands one day when it was freezing, so I rewarded myself with a new hat. Hailey and I realized we were sitting the same way one day. William trudging throu...

Four Jingle Bells: We bought a house! (June)
http://fourjinglebells.blogspot.com/2015/07/we-bought-house-june.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. We bought a house! We knew there was wood floor under the carpet and just couldn't let it go. The morning after we had moved all of our stuff in, I came out to see Blake ripping up the carpet. Then he got busy refinishing the wood floors. It took about 2 weeks or so, lots of late nights but we got it done! The kids helped rip up carpets and pull out nails. Enjoying the fire pit out back. We have liked having it. Spencer in the fairy garden out back. Hailey out in the garden. We got...

Monday, December 8, 2014. We went to a get together at Blake's work. The kids loved the cotton candy, bouncy house and activities. Hailey made a temple out of blocks. We stopped in at Blake's desk on the way out. The kids loved it. He just moved to a new office so it was fun to check it out. Kids playing nicely together with legos. Love these moments! For conference, we did some little activities. William loved the Bingo, or the M&M's. A typical William smiling face. A lot of the time, William likes to c...

Monday, June 23, 2014. Another Iowa sunset, pure heaven. Blake was in a funny mood and let Hailey paint his toenails. She still talks about it. Spencer working on some math. He loves practicing first grade math. Passing the winter time with board games. William is already into technology. Yippee. Blake brought me these flowers one day when it was snowing in March. It sure helped lift my spirits! Spencer loves to tell people, "I'm six and I have lost six teeth.". Typical day around here. Spencer got hit i...

Monday, October 13, 2014. Back to Life, Back to Reality. After we got back into town, we spent a lot of time unpacking, washing, cleaning and sleeping! I slept in till 9 for three days and let the kids have free reign of the house. Good parenting, I know. Brooke got a new swimsuit, which totally matched her personality. As Hailey said "loud and colorful! Hailey loves cheetah print and this was one of her new school outfits. But it has been so nice to have fresh/frozen corn in the freezer! Hailey face pai...

Sunday, December 7, 2014. Catching up is hard to do. Blake woke up one three day weekend and wanted to go on an adventure. By the time we got to Des Moines, the zoo was closed, so we went to the mall. We had lunch and shopped and played at the play area. Then we found a Krispy Kremes nearby. They had pumpkin donuts, heaven! So, we had a good time. Sunset on the way home. One day, the kids and I went on a little trip to the mall to play and ride the carousel. He doesn't even mind the girl scooter. It was ...

Saturday, August 30, 2014. Almost there and a new camera lens! My camera lens was pretty trashed so Blake being the awesome technological genius that he is, fixed my camera so now we can see pictures. Hooray! We went strawberry picking. Heavenly sun warmed strawberries. Nothing like it! We made strawberry freezer jam from them. A wikiup that was in a Victorian house near us. We went on a tour through it one day and it was pretty interesting. It's neat to live in an older state. William's face is the best...
