Rowdy's first concert!

another post to finish the year, and then some exciting news... soon!

first concerts might be my favorite thing. Drew had her 4K program and was completely adorable!

I'm certain I've mentioned it before, but we're lucky to have a small private school for the kids to attend in our small community. I love all the activities they're provided, and I think the kids do as well. I sure miss the Christmas concert in the beautifully renovated church, but they do a really nice job in the gym as well, just a packed house! Lucky for us, our good friends saved us a seat right.up.front! we have great friends :)

Lia - sitting, closest to the camera

Nash - ringing the blue bell

Tayt - back row in the plaid, big smiles for the camera

Austyn - front, dead center

Austyn has always loved to sing and it's always a joy listening to her. Excuse the proud mom moment and terrible recording skills, but she really did amazing. Best of the night if you ask me ;)

the entire group, focusing on Nash, hiding in the middle :)

kudos to the schools music teacher for doing another great job. keep up the good work!

missing November

playing a little catch up. and missing the unseasonably warm weather we had in November. and now it snows! reminiscing...  and sharing some photos :)

sibling love

It's been nothing but quiet around the blog. I wish I could say the same about our house. So much happening, I'm not sure where to start! baby cousin was born. lice. Thanksgiving. my grandma passed away after a 10 year battle with Alzheimer's. photo sessions here and there. and now we're just getting over a quick flu bug. all while preparing for Christmas! thankfully, the illness missed the little ones. so far... 

I've been attempting to clean out and organize photos and videos on my computer and ran across this one today. these kids... they're honestly our own little hilarious tv sitcom! enjoy... and yes, I had to stop recording to explain to her the fine line of abuse and play. I still giggled quite a bit ;)

also, feel free to donate to our Walk to End Alzheimer's team!
