My Aunt Lisa put some pictures of are family on her facebook page, I just had to take them and post them here. I have never seen these pictures until yesterday, so thank you Aunt Lisa. As I was posting this Sadie came up and said " Look mom, Sadie" and she pointed to the top pictures.

Getting ready for Valentines Day

Over the last week we have done a lot to get ready, the kids writing out their cards, making boxes for school, and my favorite making cookies. This year was special to me because my friend of 24 years and my sister Laura came up to help. Thanks girls for coming up I love both of you.

Friday was the kids Valentine party at school, Hannah and Madison wanted to wear their dresses that grandma and grandpa Aardema gave them for Valentines. They are so beautiful, and of course Sadie had to get in with her big sisters.

Just like mommy

As I was down stairs doing my daily cleaning, I thought to myself "where is Sadie?" I went to find her and this is what I found, hiding in my closet with my make-up.

I know I blog a lot I try to blog 3 or 4 times a week, but I think of it as a Journal and I also just found a web site that will make your blog into a book. How nice is that, I haven't done it yet but I plan on doing it.

I thought it was so fun to go back and look at how much they have changed. It just amazes me that Cole is going to be 10 this year, and Hannah will be 8, and my little Maddy mouse will be 6 and in first grade. Does anyone how to stop kids from growing up so fast?

Now and Then

As I was getting Sadie out of the tub someday last week, I put this towel around her and it reminded me of a picture I took when she was 2 weeks old. I thought I would share this with you

Bayler and his mommy came for a sleepover on Thursday night. I don't know why blogger wont load my video clips, so here it is in smilebox.

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Sisters thanks again for coming over and scraping with me, sorry I was sick and no fun. Here are some of the pictures from are fun but not so fun for me night.

Why Helmets are Important!

This is why helmets are important, that's what I told Cole when he came in with road rash on his head. Of course the loves and fixing of the scrapes came first, but I do believe he has learned his lesson.
