Dino Dan

Markus has a new favorite show, it's called Dino Dan.  And does he EVER love it!  He is also fascinated with trains.  Both very boy and both very cute. 

My favorite things Mac says-

One problem

You probably know that Reagan's bike was stolen from our front yard.  The girl NEVER puts it away!  Anyway....a friend gave her a very nice used bike, BUT...it doesn't have training wheels.  So I will be teaching Reagan to ride a two wheeler!  I'm excited to start because I know she is going to be so happy with herself! Reagan was sitting on the new bike, getting a feel for it.  She said "Riding a bike is simple!  I just have ONE PROBLEM, it's when the bike leans over to the side and won't go straight".  Mommy's gonna help you with your one problem, sweet girl!

Mac and I using the new phone with front facing camera. He loves himself!

Beautiful Kennedy on the way to school.

Funny!



Love this!

HELP HIM

When Markus gets "stuck" somewhere or wants to get something he says "HELPEM!".  He is mimicking me saying "help him", when I speak to the other kids.  It is so stinkin cute!  Yesterday he was kissing his plastic animals so gentle and sweet, when I would say something he would scream and throw them.  I would tease him, "I saw you kissing that giraffe". lol  I cut his hair.  He was a terrible client. 

A little 6 grade friend of ours was "beat up" over the weekend.  Lots of families banned together for an anti bullying day at school.  Kennedy is wearing blue to show support.

I have seen Reagan and Nolan's report cards for the 5th six weeks and both made honor roll!  WHOOP!  We'll have to wait and see about Kennedy and Karrigan. :|

I am selling 31!  It's super cute stuff!  Check out the website and tell your friends.

Happy Friday!  Hope you have a grrreat weekend!

hey hey hey

Hey there!!  I hope everyone is well.  I have not been a good blogger, but I will try to be better.  I have lots of random pictures to share, so that should help keep your disappointment to a minimum, right? :) 

Quick update on stuff.....Randy and I are in the final (hopefully) stage of divorce. It has not been pretty.  We have both been unkind at times.  I hope that we will soon move to a healthier place for everyone's sake.  I pray for Randy and now his girlfriend (fiance?) .  I am not happy with the way things have gone.  But the time has come to pray for anyone that has influence in the lives of these 5 precious children!  This includes ME!!  The support I have experienced has been incredible!  I am seriously amazed and humbled at the love that has been shown to myself and the kids.  But some things are just between you and the Lord!!  And I am ready to allow him to work in me.  The kids are well.  We have settled in to our new place.  I still don't love it, but I'm grateful for it.  We have super great, awesome neighbors that make up for what the house lacks. 

The kids and I spend a lot of time at the lake near our home.  When we are NOT going to the lake, I have to drive the long way around so Markus won't see it. :)

Nolan used the bike parking!

I LOVE this picture!!!

Easter eggs before

And after!

Karrigan and Mac, feeding the ducks.

Karrigan and Mac

Quick trip to the lake.  Disappointed that we didn't find any TURTLES!

I busted Markus in the dark, playing the "tuba". 

Kennedy felt sick on 4-4-12.  She was hospitalized 4-10 thru 4-13.  Today was her first day to school in NINE days!!  We still don't know what was wrong, everyone assumes it was a virus.  This was her last day in the hospital, she and Mac were watching tv.

Mural at the hospital.  We killed a lot of time looking for animals.

Mac was super hungry this morning, he had to eat with both hands. 

Kennedy getting EEG.  Therapy dog, Dallas, came to visit.

I simply LOVE this picture.  And I MADLY love this guy!
