About Me

My photo
Goddard, KS, United States
I am one of the fortunate few who married my very bestfriend! Brett and I started dating when I was a sophmore in highschool, and have been together ever since! So I don't know life without Brett in it, and I wouldn't want to. He has given me so many wonderful things over our 14 years together. However the most precious are our children. I am making this blog for them. One day hopefully they will be able to get some of the joy back they have given to me by reading this!

Our Newest Member..

I AM a dog person
I am NOT a big dog person!
Well I wasn't (still not 100% sold) until Brett asked to bring this dog home!
We are not sure what she is, but she had been hanging around their shop for a little
over a month now. She was very skittish around humans at first. Brett said the other day she was running down Meridian, and was almost hit SO we decided to give her a home..
Meet Ella
(our OUTSIDE dog)
Curtis and Cadence LOVE her! She is as talk as Cadie, so they had to wait on the back porch while Daddy had her on a leash to meet our inside dogs..

This is just because she's *beautiful*

Emma, Eddie, and Ella
They are actually getting along really well!
Think I might like having a big dog in the backyard!

AquaArmor

i *love* lucas' face in this =)
lucas and cadence
*
curtis and levi
cadie has been REALLY sad to watch curtis leave for the pool (a-poo, in cadie lingo)
the coupe days he has been able to go with someone else
so i did some calling around and the aqua armor was my only find
that was with in budget (although grandma carol got it, thanks) this is supposed
to be seal around the arm and keep her cast dry
**
First thought, okay i can do this...
**
OR NOT
**
she was not crazy about the blue ring, although she did finally decide to just deal with it and get in

tonight was the FIRST night we have all been over to my grandma's pool
it was so much *fun*
(well everyone but kelly and ben)

This is a little closer picture of her aqua armor

my dad even came over =)
i can count on one hand (in my 26 years of life) the times my dad
has been in my grandmas pool!! we were so glad he came over, the grandkids
were SUPER excited!!
i am pretty sure that the BIG boys have more fun then the little boys!!
**
it's a good think our kids get along because their daddy have become quite the
the buddies lately.. i'm just glad brett has a gym buddy =)
**
what a blessed evening ~ i have been given way more than i deserve, and cherish
my many blessings (even my brother-in-law)








He's a Pro!

It's hard to believe that summer almost over, and we only have one more
T-Ball game! (secretly it will be nice to have our Saturday mornings back)
Cadence waiting for game time
Curtis is explaining to that group of girls that, that base is called Third..
*it was cute*

Not sure when this beautiful child that I so earnestly prayed for went from "little"
to "BIG" boy?!?!
~so handsome~
Cadence is never bored

Good Hit Curtis

Curits has loved playing T-Ball. After every game he gives me a high-five and says,
"Are you proud of me?"
**
YES CURTIS VERY MUCH!

Welcome!

I finally got Kristin into our "Blog World" check her out!!
It only took 2 and a half babies to talk her into it ;)

Zoo

Today was a *beautiful* day for the zoo!
So we ALL loaded up for the zoo
(Mommy, Curtis, Cadie, Aunt Kristin, (Baby Rohlman), Lucas and Levi
Say Cheese

Who needs two good arms??







Cast Day

Thursday July 8, 2010 we went to get Cadence's hard cast put on.
I was expecting crying... Not expecting the fight she put up.
An experience I don't wish to relive, and have since felt guilty for not taking
the option of going to a pediatric surgeon to have it set and casted. I was thinking
that would just be one more bill, and one more day off work (kinda of selfish)
LONG story short... Two casts and an hour later we have a *not so pretty* green cast!
But we do have a Healing arm and that is what is important
After our not so good day we needed to find something "fun" to do... So
We decided to walk down and find Bill and Donna's

Just what the "doctor" ordered
We Love Bill and Donna (and their horses)

Of course riding back is way funner than walking!

First we stopped and fed the fish..

**
Thankful for such wonderful neighbors!
And that Thursday is OVER!

Can't *slow* Me Down!

Day Two of Broken Arm: We went to the park!
And she's off..
She did everything (a little bit slower/different) she does with two good arms!
The fire pole..

The Slide...
Love that smile!

Cadie and Mommy
(I was much closer then normal though)

Teeter-totter with Levi (and Mommy of course)


She insisted... went across the monkey-bars


Curtis and Levi

This is however where Mommy said No!
She wanted to climb the rock-wall.. Maybe next time when we take Daddy, he is much stronger than I am =)
**
Today (Thursday) is the day we go and get our hard cast... pictures soon!
**
And of course I "had" to wash her hair...
She kinda like bathing in the sink!
Well at first by this time she was getting VERY fussy!!
What a Trooper =)
