Soccer 2010


Andrew's main sport is soccer, he loves it. He is a pretty good runner and blocker. He has yet to make a goal this year, but he will.



This a a picture of the new kitchen tile floor. Our dishwasher had leaked and we did not know soon enough and had gone under the wood floors and the linoleum. We took up the wood floor and was a stinky mess. Next we went shopping to get new wood floor to replace. Well to my luck they have discontinued that color. So our option was to buy all new would floor which would be the hole up stairs or just do tile. We chose to do tile because of cost. It looks beautiful...And you know when you do a project like this that there is always something else that needs to be done, Yep I need new counter tops. They are a baby blue in color and I hate them. Maybe this summer we can help the economy again. We have done really good this year. Jeff had surgery and many heart tests done and now he is back to work lite duty and just trying to keep up. He is always so uplifting and never lets anything bother him. I can tell he has not been himself since surgery. He tries to be tough and take only tylenol when he should be taking something more and I think he is doing too much walking and standing so it is taking a little bit longer to recover. Hard to see him in so much pain.

Next we are planning for Katie to have tonsils and adenoids out along with a septum repair and sinus surgery. She will be having this done Monday the 29th. She is not too excited because that is spring break. The doctor said she would have to miss a full week of school and with her classes it is really hard to miss that many days. Sorry Katie, but mommy loves you.

Blue and Gold Cub Scout Banquet

Andrew ready for scouts. We are having a uniform inspection and he asked if it could be before dinner. I asked why? He said because his face gets all messy. Well it was after dinner and Andrew got up and all the boys followed him to go wash faces. Usually boys could care less but not my Andrew.

Blue and Gold Banquet cake. Each kid brings a cake and we get to eat them for dessert. This cake turned out sooo cute. But yet again I think my kids are pretty amazing.

Emily and Carson Grover Sweethearts 2010
Carson Answer Emily by placing Yes in one egg and then scattering about 6o eggs all over the yard. Yes she was in a sweatshirt and was about 15 degrees outside. took her about 45 min to get them all and of course the answer was in the last one.

SNOW FUN

The kids getting a ride up the hill.

Andrew trying to snowboard using the sled. He did really well. Wished I had the extra dollars to get him a board. He would love it.

Getting pulled up the hill. Kids have no idea how sledding can be a lot of work...When I was a kid we had to walk up the hills to be able to come down. Lucky them...

Happy 14th Birthday Katie

DECEMBER 28TH 2009


Katie and her birthday tree. We have done this every year she was born just to make her birthday special since it is a few days after Christmas. She has never been left out. So hard to believe she is 14. Where did the time go. I am kinda selfish in a way...I think I have the best kids in the world.
Surprise Katie, you got your iPod touch and from mom and dad and your Snuggie from Aunt Shannon, Uncle Dean and your cousin Jordyn. They live so far away, but knew what to get you. They are one special family.
