Busy, busy, busy...

It has been a super busy year so far and it's still at the beginning! Crazy!! I have not blogged in a while and lots has happened so I'll see if I can catch up a little.

I just changed out all the pictures of Jared's art work in that section of our website for all new ones - there's over 200, I think, in there now. He has been drawing a lot more often and just whips them out like his hands are on fire. He comes home with 10-20 drawings daily from school and adds about that many more to his day in the evening. So, trying to keep up with photos of them and posting them has presented quite a challenge for me. Anyway, they're up and I'll change them out more often.

Becky has had 4 new additions to her bottle caps collection which have been added to the bottle caps section of our website. We are looking forward to summer when we can go out hunting for more!

Jared has started baseball season again. So much fun! He is on the Cubs team this year and he likes it and looks forward to the games. We're making progress - hooray!


Becky just completed a project at school on 'water survival' - the dos and don'ts in water to keep you from drowning - and she got an A+. This week, for her book report she had to make a movie trailer about her book. It turned out great! If I can figure out how to put it on here I will.


Emma is definitely one of a kind! She just had her third birthday last month and is as independent as ever! She has a wonderful imagination and makes us laugh all the time! She just recently decided that she liked the song 'Following the Leader' on Peter Pan but didn't know the words so she made up her own. When the chorus says, "Tee dum, tee dee, a teedle ee do tee dum", Emma says, "To dee to blop, a dee a dee a blop". We love it! She probably gets sick of us asking her to sing it over and over again, but it's just so cute!! I'm going to post a video of her singing (again if I can figure out how).





My girls decided they needed crowns the other day so we made some fun crowns and they dressed up as princesses and queens. It all started with needing a crown for King Lee - Becky's newest addition to her stuffed animal collection.


School will soon be out! I am really looking forward to summer break and warm weather!!
