Absolutely Beautiful!

Busy, Busy...

We have been so busy with lots & lots of hockey and getting things all in order for Jakob's Blue and Gold Banquet coming up next weekend...he will cross over from Cub Scouts to become a Boy Scout!! I can not believe Jakob is going to become a Boy Scout...next weekend! We are so proud of him & all his hard work!!
So, here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.
Here is little Samuel in a perfect size chair at my friend Kari's house... Thank you to my friend, Susan for the adorable outfit :-).
Here is Jakob in a game against Palmer...


Rachel, with her FAVORITE, must have, blanket and one of her MANY, MANY Huskies :-).
And with her new friend, a sock puppy that she named, Maggie, after the Elephant that was transfered from the Alaska zoo down to California. Isn't this puppy so cute. My friend, Kellie, is very talented and made this for Rachel. Thank you again Kellie!!!
My Valentine Tulips, my FAVORITE...thank you sweetie!!
The kids had a few friends sleep over last Sunday since they were out of school on Monday for President's Day and the rest of the weekend we had been busy with Jakob's hockey tournament...they made it to the semi-finals, but lost :-(.



This lady makes these hats for the hockey players...aren't they cool??

So, in case you are wondering what the Sam-a-Nader could possibly do when a 10 year old and a 4 year old are left to "watch" him while I cook dinner...
He had this look like, "What did I do?"
Ben asked if Sam was going to be in time out...hee.

Look at that face!!

So, I had fun vacuuming up the popcorn topping...the entire bottle! Did I mention that I had just vacuumed that floor about 30 minutes prior to the Sam-a-Nader attack!? Then when I went to pull the laundry out of the dryer I found GUM ALL over the dryer & the clothes :-(!! The kids are grounded for a week from gum! There is never a dull moment around here!!

You are right about never a dull moment! What a blessed life you have! The kids are adorable as usual! Congrats to Jakob for moving on up to Boy Scouts, I know he has worked very hard!

Not sure we'll be in Huntsville in June. The kids don't get out of school till June 19. How close will you be? But I would love to see you!
