Happy Father's Day!

I also need some photos of our corn crib and round barn. I will be using it as my photo back drop most of the summer! I love them and their heritage; Unfortunately, they serve no purpose and are falling apart. We will be tearing them down next summer! ;(

Summer Fun!!

I love summer break! No schedules....no routine! Well...not much unless you count tumbling class, 4H and softball. Regardless, we are in full summer mode! Summer is the best part about being a stay at home mom!!!

Kenzie got a 4.0 GPA and the highest in her class so she is pumped and ready for 5th grade!

Kerstin was sobbing when she left Mrs.Cox and 1st grade but seems to be adjusting!

We just got home from an amazing 5 day trip to FL and a Carnival Cruise! Judy, the girls and I took off the last day of school and flew to Tampa then took a 4 day cruise! We spent a ton of time at the waterpark on the ship and made so many memories!

Kerstin was able to perform w/ the KHDW girls on the ship and she did an amazing job! There were a few times when she was basically on stage dancing alone in front of a ton of people! She says it was the BEST part of the trip!

They were all sad to get off the boat and mostly wanted to come get their Dad and go back~

We also hit the FL Aquarium when we got off the boat before flying home!

Dance Recital Weekend / Opening Day at the Ballpark!

What a Saturday~ I wasn't sure I would make it thru the crazy weekend!

We had dress rehearsal Friday night and went early to watch the little girls! They are so cute!

We never got home until about 11!

Up early Sat. for opening day at the ballpark for Sidney and Kenzie! I had to get mom and Judy to help since Scott was farming! Kerstin off for her hair appt. then I picked her up and we headed to the 1:00 performance! Home for a little bit to re-group, eat and head up to the PAC for round 2!

I LOVE WATCHING those girls dance (and boys) they are so amazing and entertaining! When we got home late last night Kerstin couldn't wind down and wants to dance MORE!!!

Sid graduated from Pre-school!!!!

Off to kindergarten next year!

I hope they are ready for her.

Kenz had her first two softball games and they lost both so far.

Also her spring program last week. She had a speaking part! YEA Kenz!

Kerstin has recital this weekend! O...and she was mad tonight (and extremely tired) hence the angry face in the photo!

Had a great Mother's Day!!! How could you not w/ these beautiful girls!
Glad Relay is over and was so successful!!! Boy I look tired!

What's happening at our house!

First, I was informed from a long time friend how bad I am getting about updating our blog! SORRY! We have been (and are) so busy! My sister and sister in law got into facebook so now when I have a few moments I am on there! Here's a quick update and a few photos!

Scott is busy working and is now a trustee for Ridge Township. This adds to his long list of jobs! I think with his experience at the quarry, cemetery and knowledge of a lot of stuff....he will be great at this job!

I am knee deep in our Relay for Life! I am the Chair of Team Retention this year and loving working w/ the teams! I am also assisting as co-chair to an amazing chairperson! The Relay is May 8-9th at Marsh Foundation in VW! Stop out and eat some great food, enjoy the entertainment and help a great cause! Or visit: www.relayforlife.org/vanwertcounty

I am on the Basket Buddies team!

Add the volunteering at school, mowing cemetery, helping w/ cloverbuds and well...you can see I have way to much on my plate! Fear not...everything will be in order by June 10 when school is out so we Can enjoy our 9 weeks of summer! The best part of being my own boss! SUMMER w/ MY GIRLS!

McKenzie started softball (her fav sport) and has 3 practices a week! And her little piggies will come this week for 4H! We are getting them quite small this year so even the other 2 girls are excited!

Kerstin had her last dance comp. yesterday and they did very well! GO KHDW! She has recital in a few short weeks and then she'll be dancing on a carnival cruise in June!

Sidney had her first gymnastics meet Friday night and did very well! She starts t-ball soon and will have Pre-school graduation coming up!

Busy...busy...busy!

O...I almost forgot....my new niece Josie! She was born about 5 weeks ago! She is amazing, beautiful and sweet!!!! Congrats to my bro Jason and sister in law Callie! I think big sisters Allyson and Marissa like her a little too! ;-)

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends & family! Hugs and Love.

Happy Easter!!

Busy...Busy...Busy! Sidney had a BEACH PARTY at pre-school last week! It was so much fun!

Saturday we took off for Columbus and went to a HighSchool girls basketball tourney game! Kenz loved that! Fun family dinner out Sat. night w/ the Wendells and then Sunday at dance competition! WAY TO GO KHDW dancers! Kerstin's group received 3 High Golds and 1 Gold! They compete in VW at the PAC the weekend of April 18th!

A great weekend!

McKenzie had her last basketball game! And softball is starting so just in time! =)

We had Callie's babyshower (can't wait for the arrival!)

Kerstin performed for the first time this season! They taped for NBC 35 Wish Upon a Star. It sounds like it will air in a week or two! I will try to keep you posted! Have a great week!

Kerstin & Sid's newly painted very PINK room! They love it!

Last '09 Lincolnview home game! Everyone dressed for the night!

Am I the only one this stuff happens to? An entire large liquid laundry detergent fell off the top of the washer (placed there by one of my children) obviously it fell off!
