We had broiled Rosemary and Garlic Salmon tonight for dinner. Brianna says,

"I like weally, weally don't want the gwass on my chicken."

(I like really, really don't want the grass on my chicken.)

The rosemary leaves look a bit like grass... :)

Cute pics from recent times...

Keaton hardly lets us help feed him anymore... He is getting really good at eating most things with a spoon.

Growing up so fast.
We thought a fun friend day was needed. So, we finished school and invited the neighbor girl, Kaylin (her brother, Braydon came later) over for play and lunch. It was a nice break for the girls. :o)

Oh, how cute!

Sweet picture of my loved ones.

Alex turns eight! What? My baby girl??

Cousin Ryan brought his girlfriend, Sam to the party. Keaton LOVED her!!!

The guests all brought lovely gifts.

Of course, Keaton had his balloon. And stopped to take a snapshot with Auntie Gina.

I love this picture with Uncle Mike! So cute!

We love you so much, Alex. We are seeing much evidence of grace in your life. God is changing you and for that we are grateful! Keep trusting and living for HIM! He is worth it!!!

This is Alex and Taylor at their Winter Ballet Recital "Arise, Shine"

They were so beautiful! And you can tell they are really starting to catch on!

I was such a "proud mama" and very thankful that they are learning to dance to the glory of God!

Our little ham. :)

Just thought I would share a picture of one of the blankets I have on my website. We are having so much fun with our little business!

Playtime. He fits just right! Who needs toys?? Just give them trash. :)

This is soooo cute. When Keaton is all done eating, I say, "Ok, Keats. Let mommy go get a cloth to wipe off your face and hands and then you can get down." He promptly covers his face with his hands, thinking we can't see him, so then we won't wash him up. Found you, Keaton! :) What a sweetheart!

Alex takes good pictures! They have alot of fun together.

Alex helped one day by shoveling off the driveway! She is becoming such a big helper and a little lady! I am having such a good time as a mom watching to see how God is developing her into a beautiful young lady.

My baby boy. Not so baby anymore... :( He still melts my heart.

One day it was actually warm here in MN! No snow!

Cutie! These are Mr. Potato Head glasses!

That's it for now. Hope to get back to this more often again.

I am thankful for the life God has given me. I am truly blessed.

So, Carrie and I had our first craft sale this weekend! The only bummer is that it was probably in a bad location because it was REALLY SLOW! We did sell some greeting cards and a snuggle rag blanket/pillow set. We aren't discouraged, though. We handed out a lot of business cards! It was good advertising, if nothing else. Plus, it was fun to spend all that time with Carrie! :)
We did have a fun weekend. We are planning on finding another (busier!) craft show to be in really soon. I loved doing it!

As I was teaching school this morning, Brianna yells up from downstairs,

"Mom, come here! Mom, come here! Keaton did something! The T.V. is fuzzing!!"

Keaton must have pushed a button on the remote to turn it fuzzy. :)

Hunting trip

Aaron has taken both Alex and Taylor on seperate hunting trips this year. They went somewhere close to home, which was nice. This picture is right before Alex and Daddy left for their afternoon adventure. Alex wasn't sure about the glowing orange hat (with all of her high fashion sense she's got now.)

Alex spotted a deer late into the afternoon! Aaron turned and got ready to aim with his bow and arrow. He ended up taking the shot and hit the deer! It was really exciting for both of them. It was too dark, however, to go track the deer that night (since they had forgotten to bring a flashlight), so they had to come home empty-handed that night. Alex told the whole story when she got home and they decided that they would go back out the next morning to try to spot the deer.

They got up bright and early and went with Darin to go track down the deer. They found it!!! Alex got to experience a hunt from start to finish. She really enjoyed having that time with Daddy. And now we have some meat in the freezer!!

Daddy's Birthday!

It was Aaron's birthday a few weeks back. Just getting the pics on here now... :) We went to BWW for dinner (where Aaron could get his favorite wings!) and then came home for birthday cake. We had to get a little creative with the candles to make his age since we couldn't find a "3". :) No, he's not 1,115. What do you think??
We had pizza for lunch.

Happy Birthday, honey! I hope you felt God's grace and blessings on you!

We love you!

Fall leaves

Yeah, so I know this is past due... But so cute! The kids really enjoyed the fall leaves falling this year. Daddy let them mess them up a couple times before he took care of them. :)
