fun times in May

D enjoyed 100 mile club and was happy to help his friend, B, celebrate earning his 100 miles.
 The kids had their last Chilaxed Kids class before summer.  I wonder how much yoga will be done in the next 3 months?  My prediction is M and N will do lots and K and D won't do an until the next session of Chilaxed Kids begins.
 End of year movie party at our house!  Our next activity will be camping in July.  We've also decided to have the meetings at my house next year instead of the school art room and the girls are pumped.  One girl was thinking of quitting and when she heard the meetings would be here instead, she changed her mind!
 Captain America: Civil War!  I was more excited to see it than I would like to admit.  My thoughtful husband bought me a Rock Star to make sure I could stay awake past midnight, but I don't think I needed it -- I had been waiting to see this since Winter Soldier came out.  (;
 Here are a few pictures from K's dance recital, Swan Lake.  I was glad they gave that story a happy ending.  K said she's willing to sign up again next year. (:


 When K was invited to a birthday party at Gateway Fun Center, I decided to take her younger siblings along to have fun while K attended.   Who can resist mini golf, go karts, and an arcade?  D even got to do the batting cages for the first time ever.  He did really well!



Oh, I have to put this picture in here to record when Pokemon took over the 6-year-olds at my house! M organized hers very carefully -- D was too busy trading outside with the neighbors to care about such things.  (:

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
