Oh my. It's been a while hasn't it? Well, here are a few photo's from the last month.... The band that I get the privilage of hearing "live" EVERYDAY!:)
Max.is.a.stud.

FINALLY warm enough to play outside..(yes, those are the boys snow boots..they make great boots for wet ,soggy grass..:)


Then it got EVEN warmer and we brought out the sprinkler!:) Look at those ribs!:) Skinny little boys who eat as much as their momma= daddy's motabolism! YEAH!:)



adorable. i love them so much.




This is what we frequently see from the front seat of the van.First he says..."MOM?! Turn it up!!(sometimes with a please on the end..were working on it!:) Then he TOTALLY rocks out!!!! And plays anything he can like a guitar. This day is was a paddle ball paddle.:)





Cassie gets into the fun..playin' her AIR piano!:)






While I was in Ohio visiting my sis(no camera...obviously:) Tyson took all the kids to a carnival at the OCC( Grace college) they had a blast! Sam loves cotton candy!





And so does Aeva.:) Look at the sheer delight on her face?!:)








Cute boys with their snow cones.









Had to snap a shot the other day of Aeva in her cute nighty..she looks more like a toddler everyday and keeps surprising me with words I didn''t know she knew!
So, to catch up on us..
We have been so busy it feels like. EVERY day there is something. I had a blast in Ohio for 2 days just hanging out with my sis and bro-in-law. I love them.:)
I think we have finally come to the place where we are going to quit cleaning the church.
We have tried really hard to pay down a TON of debt and after some circumstances that happened this week with Cassie, I KNOW I need to just be mommy. Between working out and cleaning, I am being gone most nights and my time with Cassie is already so limited with school that I rarely get to spend time with her...I just really feel God saying it's time to quit and trust that he will take care of us. It will be somewhat tight budget wise for the reast of this year, but when I look at the big picture..what is more important?? Being able to focus on raising my kids right or having a buffer to work with for our finances? I will take the first, please. I am also struggling with how I can fit in my excersize without cutting into our family time..it's so hard, but I will admit, it hasn't been balanced very well and I feel my family has paid for it. I think I need to scale back some..which means my eating will have to scale back too!:) But hey..that will help with the grocery bill, right?:) Tyson is plugging right along with school and has completed 2 classes so far. He's in his second block of classes and has been enjoying it.
Well, there is a little update on my life.....hope you enjoyed it.:)

I loved the update! So much to say about everything... okay - it is not going to be long before the boys have grown bigger than Sammie. The pictures of all of them are adorable! I know the cleaning decision was a hard one. I'm praying that you'll see lots of confirmation that you made the right decision along the way. It will be tough sometimes... but I think you guys will get such great family time as a result. And... the workouts -- you have been amazing for balancing as much as you have including the church responsibilities. I'm actually gonna send you a message because I'm rambling here...
