Mass...

Colten's class led mass last Friday. It is always an exciting day for the kids, and I LOVE to watch their relationship with God grow.  I love how after a week of practicing they come home and fill me in on all the details. He helped present the gifts.  Claire was out of daycare last week so she got to attend as well and the excitement on her face when he walked by melted my heart.  So blessed to have such amazing kids.

Good job buddy!  We love you!

Wordless Wednesday...

*no we were not moving in this picture

Claire, and Baseball...

Claire has recently decided that she has an interest in baseball (playing not watching)!  We love it.

Here are the girls running around on the field after the game Friday night!

Love this sweet girl!

Saturday night we went and had a game inside! How fun to have the place to yourself.  Claire LOVED hitting off the tee.

Finally just because it is so cute in my opinion! Miss loves to sit in the laundry basket. She stays in forever just as content as can be. Sunday night all three kids ate in one!  How fun is that?

Take Me Out To The Ball Game...

We had SO much fun at the baseball games this past weekend.  Wish the games would have turned out a little better but still nice.  It is amazing how much more fun baseball games are when it is not FREEZING cold outside.  Go Cats!  

Miss loves Leah.

Despite the way it looks he wanted to take a picture with me.

The big ones LOVE Carter. I think they forget that they have the girl version of Carter at home!

Of course both Grandmas being there made it lots of fun too.

Addison, and Aubrey decided that the ipad was more fun.

Wordless Wednesday...

Soccer...

Aubrey started soccer last week and has really enjoyed it.  This is her first season playing and she did really well in her game last week.  The way it is set up is practice for an hour on Tuesday, and then games on Thursday.  

She is on the Crew.  Despite the fact that it was FREEZING cold last week we had a great time watching her.

On the two teams combined I think there was only two girls!

Her favorite part was corner kicks, and throwing the ball in.

It was SO cold she refused to take her hands out of her pockets.

Great first game Aubrey! Can not wait to watch you improve all season!

Weekend Recap...

Wow the past couple of weekends have been whirl winds! Crazy how fast they have gone. My hope is that this one is a much slower one!

Colten and I went to Omaha to watch the Cats play this past weekend.  We had a great time (Aubrey decided she did not want to go so leaving Claire was an easy decision).  It is nice to have some one on one time every once in a while.

We arrived Friday night with enough time to grab dinner and check out the hotel. Always a plus.  He was all business once we got there, and his face proves that!

It was SO COLD at the game. It actually snowed during part of it! Crazy. This kid refused to snuggle in with me as he REALLY wanted to catch a foul ball.

During the 9th inning he finally decided that he wanted to sit and be warm with me.  Crazy kid!

Saturday morning we got up and swam for a little while before hitting the mall.

We were thankful that the game was warmer on Saturday...not a ton but we took it!

Saturday night Justin, Colten, and I went to dinner and had lots of fun.  We followed dinner with cheesecake for the Cheesecake Factory.  Colten was shocked at the portion sizes!

Sunday was a lazy morning followed by lunch at PF Chang's before the game.  Always a good time. Colten STUFFED his face and then ate some of mine too.  The boy loves Chinese food!  We headed to the game when we were done eating and for once the sun was shining! It was a great trip despite having to listen to the Wanna Build a Snowman song 7845127845127845 time on the way home.

The girls stayed at Grandma's house and spent the entire weekend outside.  What a fun treat for them!

Claire LOVES to cook!

She was tired after a nap.  Love this little girl!

They also planted flowers!

She is going to hate this picture some day but I LOVE it!

How blessed are we?  Such a wonderful thing to have so many people that love our kids SO much!
