January 2017, almost caught up...

One of Hannah's many creative lego scenes. I love the new lego phase the big girls have grown into!

Painting the sidewalk and themselves on another one of these great warm winter days.


Hannie was SO excited to use some saved birthday money for these clip-on earrings. She kept telling me what a good Mommy I was for ordering them!

Playing in the mud, as usual.

Long overdue haircuts for my pretty ladies!



Eating chocolates on a weekend trip to Figgy & Pop's house, yum!

Jamesy love.

Pump it up with Figgy was SO much fun. This particular day I just about broke my back, but we all had a blast!

Shades and snacks from Uncle Stevie.

Milking old Bessie at the children's museum, one of Bethy's favorite hang-outs.

First time bowling in Hburg!

"Aunt Cake" came too!


He insists on sleeping with 3,500 stuffed animals in a toddler bed.

Best buds

He chose this outfit.

Our egg salad chef!

Bethy is 4 now, so she's big enough to take music class with the big girls! She sits still in the front row and listens to the teacher and is SUPER cute to watch. :)

Snow tower.

Thomas books are his fave.

We had a fun snow in Jan.!


Another little kitchen helper. She makes good pancakes.



All cozy and reading together.

Strike a pose, fella. We call this outfit "Santa Bear"

Princess Hannie

Bob the Builder movie night with Daddy was fun! They each got a tool.

Christmas 2016


I've slacked in posting pictures since starting up facebook again, but since I post very few pics on there, I'm going to try to keep blogging notable events on here at least every month. We'll start with the big girls' bell choir concert:


Hannie volunteered to have a speaking part! She practiced her line and was brave enough to recite it in front of everyone.


Charis is a pro now. She pays attention and does a good job reading the music.

County life is so fun... we get to burn stuff!

The kids at CC Mech singing their Christmas program

My friend Jean was brave enough to invite us to make roll-out cookies!




Sometimes a sister has to get a sister out of her comfort zone...


Acker Christmas fun

Mostly smiling...

Lizzy was SSOOO excited to crack open her geodes at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning. Just her toothless smile and precious, childish excitement was worth the $20 I had to spend at Amazon on rocks. :)



Matching outfits

Princess girl

It's been a warm winter around here! We love to have picnics.

Christmas with Pete & Sally's fam. John loves balls!

Decorating gingerbread houses

Everyone got into their jammies for Aunt Sally's Polar Express experience.

Sweet twins.
