Each year Emily has a tradition of celebrating her birthday with Zeb Teichert. They both have birthdays in early January, so we celebrate together. Although their ages are a bit different, we love to celebrate together. Each year Zeb is a great sport about having a girly cake. Last year it was some princess that we added basketballs to, this year was nothing short of girly. We went for fairies...thanks Zeb for making us laugh and being a great sport for the 5 year old! We love you!

My babies are growing up!

I know every parent at some time looks back and wonders what happened with the time...so here we go. We not only have a 9 year old, 6 year old, but our babies are 5 and 2 years old. Our little Emily Estelle turned 5 on January 6...she starts school this year...I can't believe it. Then a month later Briti had a candle ceremony on February 8 when she turned 2! Where has the time gone?? I'm sure in a few years when Brooklyn and JJ are driving I'll really have a reality check as for now turning 2 is a big deal!!

Projects on my mind

These past several months have been filled with numerous projects from kitchen backsplash and counter tops, wood floors, wall texturing, replacing closet doors...and now the long awaited basement fixer!! We're finally fixing the bathroom and laundryroom with an extention to the familyroom.!! Hooray, we've waited 7 years to jackhammer this area!! It's quite messy, but we know the end result will be great! I apologize about the pictures being sideways...you know I'm not a techo genius...:}
