Eek and then we had another High Schooler

A big thank you to the CGBMS staff for making surprise house visits today to let the 8th graders know just how awesome they are! 

They may have missed out on their 8th grade Graduation, but this was a great reminder of just how proud everyone is for them 🎓

Memorial Weekend

Our favorite time of year is finally back!!

Camping season is here!

As soon as the chores were done, the kids made sure to get the tubes out and in the water.

Oh this girl...

Luckily the kids got plenty of water time in before the rain hit and we were stuck inside for a bit.

Easter Sunday

Eggs have been dyes, Cupcakes frost, it may be a quiet Easter Sunday spent at hope without family, but we will do our best to enjoy each other. 

And then these 2 showed up with a surprise delivery

Happy St Pattys Day

Snuggles

The best mornings are filled with snuggles ❤️

Sister Day

When your sisters are in town, you pull the kids from school and have a family day!

When you give up on trying to get the “perfect” picture of the kids and just say strike a pose instead😂#nailedit

We ventured off to Discovery World, then Lunch at Kopps

And ended the day by Mom and Dads for a little relaxing time

Congrats to my not so little girl anymore, she recieved her certification for Babysitting and is excited to put it to use!!💗

Proud Mama Moment

I want to scream from the roof tops how proud I am of this girl💗

Lainey has had some struggles the last 2 years with peers and school work. We have been working hard on being a good friend and school work and it is finally paying off.

Lainey could not wait for her conferences today, she kept saying she wanted to see the reaction on my face when her teacher gave me the news😍

Lainey has been kinda & helpful to her classmates and has worked hard to avoid all situations that lead to “drama” Her reading has improved and her math skills have skyrocketed above where she needs to be!

When the teacher has tears in her eyes because she is so proud of the progress Lainey has made, you know things are finally coming together.

Lainey Bug I am so so proud of you!  Nothing but tears of joy for you today 💕

And we have a driver! 😱

My heart was racing,
        my palms were sweating,
              I’m not sure who was more nervous...
                    me or the boy 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

But the good news is he PASSED! Congrats Michael!

Now comes on a whole new world of anxiety🤦🏼‍♀️for this Mama 🐻

Tubing

Well, we dressed for the cold and slowly stripped off clothing as the day went on 😂 

45 and Sunshine made for the PERFECT sledding day!!

Yes

What!? 16 already😱

Your arrival may have caused me to miss my opportunity to head to Hawaii, but I’d have to say it was a trip well worth missing.

Instead I was blessed with gaining the new name...Mom and I’d do it all over again in a heart beat💗

I’ve loved watching you grow into a wonderful young man. From spending hours at the ball diamond, basketball courts and football field, it brings such joy to my eyes to watch you play!

I’m looking forward to watching you grow from here!

Happy 16th Birthday Michael 🎉
