They are gorgeous and they are all mine!!

The 4 of my kids all together!  This was a super quick photo shoot for Mother's Day!  Super quick because we could see the rain storm coming, thank goodness the kids were somewhat cooperative, and that they just cracked up when it started raining on the way back  to the mini van!
This is Tay at 17, Cam at 13, Ella at 6 and Jack at 5!

Neglected Blog Alert!!!

Thanks for the heads up Leslie!  Things have been soooo crazy here that my blog got neglected!!! 
Let's see if I can't work on that!

The biggest things that happened this week?  Ella had 2 teeth pulled as her grown up teeth came in, and those baby teeth wouldn't budge!  She was quite the trooper at the dentist and there were NO tears! 
There have been crazy amounts of snow in these here parts the last few weeks!  The kids are LOVING it!  Jack got out there and burned off some energy!

Yes that is spaghetti stains on his face hehe!  I didn't know he was that messy till I wanted to take a pic, but I had to have the snow on his face to get the full effect! hehe
Finals were last week for Taylor!!!  I don't have a pic of her taking them, but just cause she is pretty here goes...

Cam had an awesome field trip adventure with school!  He had to be up at 5 am to get there on time!  I don't have pics of that either, because he went with school!  But just cause he is such a handsome fella, here he is hehe!

Back to school!

THis is another, just so I don't forget!
Jack was very excited, very very excited (did I mention very excited?) for school to come this year. Every day asking how many more days, and getting angry with me when it seemed like too much! Fast forward to night before school, where I tell Ella and Jack that the first number on the alarm clock HAS to be a 7 before they get up, and put them to bed around 7:15 pm. Jack comes down at 7:47 pm, yes, that night still, and tells me there is a 7 on Ella's alarm clock and he is ready to go to school. OH BOY! I don't even think he fell asleep cause I could hear a lot of movement up there! Silly boy!
Yes Ella's back pack does appear to be bigger then she is here, but it is only boxes of tissues in there, I swear! She wasn't going to tip over from the weight of her backpack!
Here are 3 out of 4 of the kids ready to go to school!
