We're Back!

Well...we've been absent from the blogging world for a while. I was checking out some family blogs tonight and decided I should start updating ours again. Not much has changed besides the kids getting older and bigger! Justin is now 13 and in 8th grade. He now stands 5 feet 9 1/2 inches!! He just made his schools basketball team and is in Drama. Brian is 9 and in 4th grade. Kate is 6 and started K5 this year. They both changed to a new school this year and we love it!Life is good and we are very blessed with great family and friends. This picture was taken July, 2010. Justin is actually taller than me, he's just standing on a sloped part of the yard. Check us out for new updates!

Christmas 2008

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We have really enjoyed seeing a lot of family and friends over the holidays. We are truly blessed.

Band Concert

 

Justin performed in his first Band concert last week. They played 5 songs. He has done a great job learning to play the trumpet. He did really well!! We have video I will post soon.

Christmas Tree

 

I thought this was a great picture that Nathan took of our tree. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Thanksgiving Funeral

 

Brian's pet rat "Emma" passed away the week of Thanksgiving. We held a funeral for her and Brian spoke. We were a little concerned about what he might say. Those of you who know Brian understand our concern. He ended up doing a great job. Dad made her a box and Brian decorated it. Brian has handled her loss very well. We will miss Emma.

Wake up call from Kate

Kate was upset about Brian not getting out of bed, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.  I only got there in time to take a picture.  

Tagged?

This is my 4th pic in my 4th folder. It's Kate Easter morning half awake eating chocolate. Not very cute. I feel bad posting this. Sorry Kate!
