FOR MY GUYS!

My most favorite thing in this world is being Mom to my amazing boys and wife to my best friend! They have made all of my dreams come true and I love every second I am with them! If I could save time in a bottle I would spend an eternity with MY GUYS!

I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

NICK'S AWARD CEREMONY

He received a writing award...
An honor role award and...

A recorder award, along with 90 other kids. Apparently everyone did really well playing their recorder!

GREAT JOB NICK!

ELIJAH'S PROM

What a handsome young man. They took pictures at Anna's house so I will post them when and if I get them.
Isn't he beautiful!
I am either the coolest mom or the dumbest mom ever because I let him take my Mustang to dinner, prom and an over night after party.

Jim was certain that I had lost my mind!
He was so excited about driving it so his joy out weighed my reservations. I know it is just a car but it is the only car I have ever wanted from the time I was young so to hand it over to an 18 year old was a big deal.

Well, he was attending an "adult supervised" party meant for just a small number of kids and large numbers of kids started showing up with alcohol and started getting out of hand. Needless to say the police were called. Elijah had decided to leave shortly after the alcohol showed up but was stopped by the inbound officer. He immediately called me so Jim and I headed out to get him. After taking a breathilizer test he was allowed to leave so we met him at the school and brought him and the car home. You always worry about them making good decisions when you are not with them so I am very proud of him. There were only about ten out of more than 70 kids that chose to not drink! I am so glad that my baby was one of the 10!
WAY TO GO ELIJAH!

TRAMPOLINE FUN

The boys love wrestling with Daddy on the trampoline.
Daddy never wins! Caleb the conquerer!
Daddy got some really great pics of the boys mid bounce.
What a great bounce!


I love that face!
Caleb always gets alot of air!

It is so great to watch them play with their Daddy!

ZACH UPDATE

He had a cool cammy cast but he was more than ready for it to go. This was actually my first broken bone. Pretty good for six boys and more than 20 years of motherhood. We have had 2 surgeries for Marty, 2 for Elijah and now 1 for Zach.
That nasty yellow scaley looking stuff is his skin. Notice how long his pinky nail had gotten.
His left wrist was a bit smaller than the right one now.

"Take my little hand."
Zach sportin a really cool pinky ring.
The pins came out very easily and with little pain. Now he will have physical therapy to get back strength and mobility.

CHRISTMAS WITH NICK & ZACH

Elijah's car after he decided to drive on a dirt road after it had rained. He got stuck and had to get pulled out by a nice man with a truck.

MONKEY JOES

We went with Rik, Janine and the girls and I took tons of pictures so enjoy

Caleb getting some air

Gabe going into the princess play palace. He was very reluctant since it is for girls but I was able to coax him in by showing him other boys inside the palace.

Princess palace

Since everything is inflated it is a relatively safe enviornment and lots of fun.
The super big slide. This one tickled my tummy. Gabe would only go down with his arms wrapped around Daddy's neck. Unfortunately I could not catch them to get a picture but it was very sweet.
Now that's an awesome smile!
