1st day of school!

Who knew this day would come SO fast, my baby, littel baby O is going to school! I thought it would be a tough transition for him going from a warm, loving home daycare of 4 kids total, to a crazy, loud school full of LOTS of kids, BUT he did awesome! Today is his second day and his teacher sent me an email and said he is still doing awesome!! He is shy for about the first 2 minutes after I leave then he dives right in! He had lots to say after I picked him up yesterday, it was fun to hear all about it! I had more tears and anxiety than this little guy did!
Great job Owen, only 15 more years to go!

First Deer!

I don't have much to say about it just that it was hanging in my garage and I had quiet time in the house because ALL my boys were ooohhing and awwwing over the dead deer hanging from the ceiling! But nice job Bailey!

I think she is an angel....

Finally I can introduce Jessica, the BEST girl in the world! She is like a big sister the boys never had, only she doesnt beat them... as much!! Pretty sure the boys like her more than they like Rodney or I! LOL That is ok though, it is very comforting to know they are well taken care of and treated right when they are in her hands! WE LOVE YOU JESSICA and thank u for everything you have done for us and our trio!

Schools back in session!

What a GREAT summer these boys had! Between Jessica and both grandmas they spoiled these boys rotten! If you ask them how their summer was and they tell you it was fine, they are lying, they had the IDEAL summer! They went fishing, biking, Valleyfair, demo derbies, Vikings Training camp, up north for a week, drive in movies, waterpark, tubing and the list goes on......
Am I sad they are back in school.... KIND of! I do miss the quiet mornings Owen and I had and the non chaios in the evenings, but it is good they are back and we are in the swing of things once again! Bailey is in 6th grade and Brady is in 2nd grade, and O is anxiously awaiting preschool!

BIG FISH!

I am still laughing at the excitement in Baileys voice when he called! Grandma Hannah was watching the boys their last week of summer vacation and pretty sure this was Bradys highlight!
Our phone rings and it was Bailey, I could barely hear him because he was crazy.. "dad", "no Bailey this is mom"... "mom, Brady caught a 50 pound fish, it is hugh"! "Get down here, u have to take a picture of it"! Meanwhile he kept calling me dad..... so Rodney, Owen and I drive down by the river where they are...... and this is the 50 pound fish they caught! LOL
Nice fish, it is a walleye and it was 27 1/2" long and about 8 pounds (you were close Bailey-LOL)

Dad let it go...... maybe he'll be 50 pounds next summer Brady!

Happy anniversary to my best friend!

Ok so it was yesterday! September 8th

Rodney and I have been married for 10 years and have been together for 13 years, wow how time flies! We have endured many opsticles, ups and downs, roller coaster rides, but have made it through each and every one of them!!
So here's to another 10 years!
And because we share our anniversary with our little Owen, it is all about Owen so we all celebrate together!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Baby O

Hard to believe it has been 3 years since our precious Owen was born! Your an awesome little boy Owen, far from perfect, but the PERFECT addition to our family of 5!
