Swimming Lessons....

Mattee had swimming lesssons this year. She has always been a fish. She enjoyed it so much she wants to do it again next year. She was too advanced for the step we put her in so they jumped her up a notch. I can't thank you Bud and Audra enough for providing transportation and love by giving her the oppourtunity to take these lessons. Thank you Aud for taking some cute pictures. I'm proud of you Mattee Mavis. I love you...

24 Days To Go.....

I am being induced on September 3rd to have our little Hadlee on September 4th. It is just around the corner. Can I say hip hip hooray! This pregnancy has been a since but a tole on the old bod. It will be wonderful and a blessing to have 4 children (girls) in our lives. Our little Avree and Hadlee will be the best of buds. I can't wait to see what she looks like and to see how Avree reacts. I LOVE MY GIRLS!!!

McDonald's....

We went to McDonald's the other night and got Avree her first happy meal. She ate 2 nuggetts and about 6 fries. Afterward they enjoyed playing with Avree's happy meal box by using as a her hat. She enjoyed being the center of attention and enjoyed her happy meal. The last picture is her laying on her toybox all tuckered out. Our sweet little angel.

Camp Cutie....

Kelsee went to girls camp this year for her first time and "had a blast". She mentioned that the spirit was strong and that she had a wonderful experience. She can't wait to go again next year.
She came home from Young Women's the other night with an award for "Camp Cutie" and Cutie Patootie buttons. All the Young Women adore Kelsee. On the way up to girls camp they even had dubs on her. I always new my Kelsee is special but this proves it to be true outside of a prejudice mom. I am so proud of you sweetheart and I love you with all my heart. XoXoXo

Happy Birthday Oma'...

My mom turned "60" on Sunday, July 12th. Wish we were celebrating with her. I was telling Kelsee and Mattee how she used to say stories backwards and we sang the songs "Katie and Alice" together. Those are the girls' favorite songs that Oma' sang to them. My mom was a beautiful, strong willed, stuborn, loving, giving person that you could probably have ever know. Her top priorities were my brother and I and her grandkids. She loved watching her grandkids everyday. There were days when I knew she didn't feel good or she was so tired so I would let her know that I was going to take the kids to Marilyn's that day and she would make a comment of "my grandkids are my life and they keep me going. I need them here with me. I will be just fine." So I would end up taking them to her anyway. She taught me the meaning of loving your children, spouse and family. She loved and cared for her family. I love you much and miss you everyday. Love you lots...Spider
