Softball

After church yesterday, (Yes the internet was down again out here in the country!!) Larry was talking about playing softball this year. Gabi lovingly replied to her father, "Can you even still play softball?"

Are we really getting that old?

Braces are Gone

The girls have both had their braces taken off. Gabi is completely finished with braces after almost 4 years. Emily is done with her first phase. Emily will have to have more braces put back on after some of her teeth come in. Now they both need to go to the dentist to have their teeth cleaned!!!!

Country Living

The weather in the country is still cool but the SMELL says it is spring in the country!!!!! It stinks so bad out here!!!!!

Gabi's 14th Birthday

Gabi celebrated her 14th birthday today. It just doesn't seem possible that my little girl is 14. She has had a cold all week and still felt rotten today but being the wonderful daughter that she is she let me take the traditional birthday picture. We are truly blessed with incredible children!!

Beautiful Day

FINALLY!!!! It is a beautiful day today. Larry and I were able to get out and go for a walk today. I would love to say that we ran but after being cooped up for the past 3 months we were grateful to be able to walk. This has the potential to hurt tomorrow!!

Snow

On April 1st I am not supposed to be posting about anymore snow falling from the sky. Yes, it was snowing first thing this morning. It was only flurries but we are all WAY over snow. And no, this is not an April Fools Day joke - how I wish it was!!!!

Happy Easter

I would love to have been able to post a beautiful picture of my children in their Easter outfits but since it was still snowing when we got up on Easter we all wore winter clothes. Honestly, we didn't even bother to buy Easter dresses. By the time it gets warm enough for spring dresses to be worn they will probably have grown, again.

At church the minister wished us Merry Christmas. I thought it felt appropriate considering the weather.

Gabi did have her chocolate as soon as she got up. She was trying to talk me into getting up at midnight so we could enjoy at 12:01. Luckily, she fell asleep!! Yes, they did take a picture of me eating my chips but since I write the posts there is no way I am posting a first of the morning picture of me eating. I prefer not to put anyone through that torture. Earlier in the week the girls were talking about giving up pop next year for lent. They thought it would be a good idea for our whole family to give up pop. I reminded them that I did give up diet coke one year. They decided that they didn't want to endure mom without her diet coke another year!!!!
