Happy New Year! (2 months later)

Hi. Apparently someone reads this. What's new with us? Ummmmm.... well, I was informed that I had a mustache and not the popular kind. I have now entered the old lady world of shaving. Dylan had a substitute teacher that had a full on beard and she was female. I don't want to be like that.... The boys are all busy as ever. I struggle to keep up with their energy. Hannah broke her ankle and is awfully ornery and unhappy a lot of the time. It's made doing anything difficult. Hopefully she only has the cast for 4 weeks. Let's hope. Matt has been busy with work and will potentially be even more busy. That's good for his business. He'll also be reffing for soccer. I vow to have more playdates and visit the gym for sanity. That's my goal. I can't believe it's the middle of February. We rearranged my living room, gave away our jungle gym of a treadmill (let's face it... the kids used it more than we did). We also continue to plan away at the remodel of our kitchen. Hooray! That's my life. Comment if you read this please. Thank you.

Long time no see!

Hi. It's been a while since I've been on here (the blog). Hi. Sorry.

We've been getting ready for Christmas but before that we went down south for a funeral and then Budd and Roxanne came up and visited us. The kids were so so so excited to see both sets of Grandparents! Yay!

I loved visiting with my grandma and having my kids enjoy her and being (thankfully) respectful and calm-ish around her. Yay!

Matt's older

Hello! Matt had a birthday and is now 34. Happy Birthday Matt. He got a cheesecake since he prefers that over my dry cakes (he prefers it over anything, really). He got lots of themed ties and was delighted with those since he sort of collects ties. We got him an ice cream maker. Other than that we just keep busy. The picture of Matt with the fox (it's not a wolf... it's a fox....really) was taken at his office. Unfortunately the fox stayed on the wall and he is no longer in that office. He's back home! Hooray!! It's easier now that the younger boys go to preschool. Matt can actually get something done. That's what's new with us. Oh... the picture of D & R is so cute because they were being too quiet. Upon finding them Dylan was helping Riley with his homework. How cute is that???

Trampoline fixed

Our trampoline was totally worn out with gaping holes. Sooooo, we bought a new mat and spring cover and Matt so kindly took 3 hours putting it all back together again. Now my children have an outlet for their energy. Hooray!! This was Hannah's first experience on a trampoline and she was quite delighted!

Riley's preschool

See his overwhelmingly excited expression? That's how he feels about preschool.

She's just cute!

My baby girl was hamming it up for me this morning. I asked her to smile so she did in a super adorable way!! She's talking a bunch and says about 12 words. She's also thinning out, getting molars, running, and following directions. She's darling.

Exercise

See these cute boys? We walked to school today. It was an almost 4 mile adventure! From home to preschool was 1.25 miles and Dylan rode his scooter the entire way. Riley got tired after .25 miles. Impressive for the little guy, though. From Preschool to Levi's school was 1.41 miles. Then Hannah I walked home the 1.25 miles.Hannah thought it was fantastic to be out on a walk. I was surprised we made it to both schools on time. It was also great that my double stroller loaded up so well and held the 3 scooters and helmets in addition to Hannah.
