Every day life with Nora

WE love babysitting her and how she just wants to be with us,

In the morning

On the way to baseball

and even at Home Depot

Just wants to be exactly where YOU are

Civil War - 5th grade style

Great re-inactment via the 5th graders - Ty took old times photos too (not seen here) but always cool to see our cowboy hat get re-purposed

Out with the teeth!

The story of 2 kids

One kid lets his tooth get looser and looser til he can hardly eat on that side of his mouth in fear it will just fall out.

The other feels a bit of weakness in the tooth and makes it his personal mission to extract it that day.

Either way the teeth came out!

I find it ironic this happened too - felt a bit like an extraction - thank you Jackie!

Celebrating with Madison

I love how her birthday falls on their spring break so we get to do our own little Maddy celebration.  She LOVES her birthday time and really soaks in that it is HER DAY.  Right now - ADORABLE.  Keep it up girl!

Full table shot - HUGE kudos to my mom for making the world most delicious lasagna!!  Full for days!

love love love it when this family is all together like this.

Final Sundown Party

Sundown puts on a great and festive end of season party - one more chance to hit the slopes - 

This time on foot

She loved being part of the family

King of the final chair

Yes, its time

Lets go to the beach

The bemis's invited us up over spring break for a night - Yes please!

I feel this is Tate and mini-tate - gaming together.

for the record - not the warmest day on the beach - 

But we were still on the beach - just with all our winter clothes.

Loved this mini vacation and the chance to hang with another family - watch calvin work on his live action, get to know trixie and that she stands on the table while they are gone (sand and all) play parents not approved and enjoy some delicious meals out.

Life at the beach - no crowds - just how I like it.

Celebrating with Goomba

Cheers to the man who knows exactly what he wants and how to celebrate - 

steaks on the grill and ice cream cake with the family.

We are fortunate and thankful for being able to share this life with you!

I am not sure there are 71 candles on that cake - but I did say it was ice cream - best not to melt it too early
