I have been honored with a MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD!

(it only took one vote, and that one vote came from faraway Alaska, and it wasn't even my husband!)(I got two votes! TWO People who do not know me well enough to KNOW how lousy I am at this job!!!!)

See how funny it is....

I happen to think it is HILARIOUS!

OK enough of this

I have been Uber-Busy.

I am planning the last of Girls Camp for June 9-12th and I have a talk to give on Mothers Day Sunday.
Besides pulling myself out of a PpD state, and spring is here, so I have been trying to get out and do yard work. (It is WAYY too overwhelming!)

SO I am sorry I have not been writing to you (my journal) I am sorry I have not had much of a positive outlook lately. I will focus on being more in control!

I will love my life, like I normally do.

This morning when I went to wake the kids for the day, I saw this:




They were all jumbled into bed together, so funny since 4 beds were sitting empty so that they could all cram into bed together. Love it. Siblings that are angelic (while they are sleeping)

And Eli is so funny, he has a bouncy seat with a globe mirror over the top, he loves laughing at himself and talking to himself.... he is so enthralled by the reflection.

Our First semester of Co-op

We had such a fun time at the NLHF Co-op. the kids were able tos how case all thier hard work at the open house.

Here are some of the photos from that night!

Gracie performed her baton ensemble, she did GREAT!

Abigel had some beautiful art work on display

Madison participated in a french class, where they build a French city/village from cardboard.

Rubi did so many wonderful crafts and learned about foreign countries.

Zeke was just glad to be out of there!

BUSY 2 Weeks!

BATHROOM, STILL HAS SOME WORK TO BE DONE, BUT I LOVE THE TILE!


YOU SEE THEY DID NOT DELAY IN GETTING THEIR TOYS OUT TO PLAY!






MADISON'S ROOM

We have accomplished SO much in the past 2 weeks, I am so grateful for a husband with such talent and knowledge he can create nearly anything I request, so here it is: The finished bedrooms (of course there is more do to, but for now we leave the room alone and work in the garden)
