 Happy 10th Birthday Jeremiah Christian!
(late..January 8th)

Can you feel the excitement?
One of my favorite pictures of the first 4
 4 kiddos in 5 years
3 in diapers
 was crazy fun. 
Ask Dave!!!
You were an easy baby from what I remember.





you  love to be outside
playing catch with a football, kickball, soccer, basketball
  Legos, action figures, video games and baking.  
You name it you'll do it.
You're an easy going kid.







you love helping others




you are so full of life, so loving and full of joy!




you are loud, crazy
and always smiling


a wee bit stubborn sometimes



you love swimming, camping,
riding your bike, reading  books
and any kind of adventure










We went to Chuck E Cheese for your birthday again. You love that place.  I love the cheap price, there is something for all ages, and the fact you can just go there and play games rocks! You can stay there for a few hours on $20.

























We love you Jeremiah Christian!

Life

I've had no time to write, let alone go to the bathroom by myself lately.  This is the season we are in I guess. School, parenting, meal planning and prepping, constant dishes, messes(lots of messes), laundry(which surprisingly isn't much for a family of 8) and life just keep me going.  

Sometimes it's dinner time and I've only looked at the clock 2 times in a day.  
This space of life is so quick. 
The giving of your heart.
The loving no matter what.
giving grace after grace
messing up over and over again
love is beautiful in so many ways the world doesn't see
the every day, the sacred, the real
and the in betweens.

sleepy heads are so warm and cuddly

Making sure they eat their beans. A community bowl of green beans at that. Can you feel the fun in the photo?




Did this fun gingerbread house but the only who eats gingerbread is Miah but it's not gluten free.



This is my quiet time ...no wonder why I can never remember what I read


  The sweet lady the boys shovel for gave them this bag.  I remember these candies from when i was a kid.


This creative girl colored her hair with watercolor paint.  She loved it.


There's not a soul in this house that doesn't want to sleep by him when he falls asleep. 
 Love sleeping kiddos.


Olivia made her first sponge cake.  It turned out great.  Next time she won't cook it so long it was a tad on the dry side but pretty good for her first rodeo with one.


thank you for coming to our little space
