Spring is Almost Here!

     We were able to go outside today to test out the girls' new bike and scooter!  It was nice to have the weather warm enough to go outside to play without freezing:) Maddox came out to hang out too!

Sam's Art Debut

     My niece Samantha's art work was chosen to be displayed in the Ft. Wayne FAME Art Show this weekend! Her art was chosen by her Kindergarten Art teacher.  We decided to support her accomplishments by attending the Art Show with her!  We are so proud of her hard work and talent!  The show was really cool...there were cool arts and crafts booths to go along with all of the neat art work on display!

Hanging Out at Home

Averi loves playing with her play-doh! 

 Why is the laundry basket the most fun place to play in?  I can not figure it out but Averi and Alexxa love it!



Happy 2013!!!!

Happy New Years!!!!! It is 2013!!!!

So we went to Chicago for New Years to celebrate with the Browns, Schroeders, and Liebings.  We celebrate the kids New Years at like 8:00 pm! Uncle Josh is the Sparkling Grape Juice server as you can see. We have party hats, noise makers, and toast to a great new year!  The kids LOVE IT!

My Special Readers!

Read Across America Week
              For Read Across America Week I had Luke come in and read a Dr. Seuss book to my students. He happened to be home with all three kiddos so they tagged along too!  Luke read Oh the Places You'll Go (my personal fav) and to my surprise Averi hopped in the reading chair and decided to read a Dr. Seuss book to my 4th graders also!  It was so cool.  She "read the pictures" to Horton Hatches the Egg.  They loved it.  She stopped to ask the students to make connections!  She asked my students as she was reading, "Have any of you been to a lake or circus before?" (Horton finds himself at a lake and circus at some point in the book, if you have not read it before).  Alexxa Riley walked around my students until she found one she liked and then plopped on her lap...it was super cute.  Of course, Maddox stole the show with his cuteness!
