I am still here...

Emree love riding around with Chas on his bike, and no she doesn't have a helmet on! it was just down the road!
Here is Brady riding his bike we would ride it 24/7 if I let him, and he loves showing off his tricks!
Brookie's tricks too!
I love this picture! Can you tell Emree loves her dad!?
I found the kids like this one nigh when they were supposed to be sleeping in bed. Brady snuck into Brooke's room and they were reading stories with her lamp on. At least I know they do get along sometimes!


We are still alive and doing well. I just haven't posted for a long time. I have been busy trying to get some quiet books finished that I started a long, long time ago!! but now I am finished and swear I will NEVER attempt that project again! Although they did turn out cute. And I have been digging out my flower bed in the front yard. Our soil is so rocky here it makes it hard going, plus after I dig it out I have to sift out all of the rocks and then put it back in! Talk about lots of work! But I would rather work outside than do about anything, so it's been fun! Plus if I shovel all day that means I don't have to go to the gym that day!! YEAH! Some exciting things have been happening here too. I am finally done nursing Emree!! night and all. She is doing good, its been about two weeks now! Also as of this morning I have officially lost 20 pounds since having Emree, (only took me 15 stinking months!) but now I am back down to where I was when I got married. I would love to still lose like another 10, but I think that is wishful thinking! Anyway so I am proud about that! We are still anxiously awaiting spring, as it snowed a couple of inches yesterday! Anyway this is short and sweet!

Good for you on losing the weight. It is so hard... believe me, I know. I still have baby weight to lose from having Porter. That was only 4 1/2 years ago. I'm not even going to mention the weight I have to lose from the other two. :) I'll bet you feel great!

Cute pictures, I love the one of both the kids reading books. Good job on the weight loss. Go You! Hopefully the weather will get nice here one of these days and we can go outside for longer than 3 hrs.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Teija! I've still got about 10 to go after David. It's rough!! I am always so impressed with how much you work outside gardening and such. I need to try to do that more since that's where my kids are most of the time anywya. Thanks for the motivation - you're awesome!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
