It is official! Please pray that this whole process goes well, for a smooth transition for the kids and us, as well as God's perfect timing.
Also that I am kind to my children while trying to keep a clean house, especially if there is a one hour notice coming!

Ice Fishing
Today Jack and Grandpa Ken entered an ice fishing contest after Jack's game. There were a whole lot of people on Foster Arends!
They were all set up and cozy ready for a few hours of fishing!
What do you see Gramps?
Jack did have one on his line that got away.
Jack lasted until about 12:30 when I brought Grandpa his boots, his feet were cold! But Grandpa lasted another hour although never caught anything. Next time!

My Cousin Tara's wedding
Last weekend we went to my cousin Tara's wedding and at the reception and dance I had some help from Layken and Levi taking pictures. It was a really beautiful Christ centered wedding and the reception was a fun time too, considering we were sitting with our 7 children!
The girls on the dancefloor!
Levi took this one of Leah, nice one Le...
This one is in honor of Mom and Dad's anniversary that was on the 5th. They said the night they got married was a lot like this one, cold but good weather, then they drove 3 days to California where Dad had to report to duty and left Mom for a week by herself in an apartment with no utilites turned on. What we do for love!
The Macarena (is that how you spell that?)
Levi busting a move on the dancefloor, he can breakdance!
Our family picture that Layken took for us!
Luke was reciting Thomas stories for anyone who would listen, if you looked away he would take your face and turn it towards him to finish the story, this is Levi sweetly sitting through one of Luke's stories! Luke is saying to Levi "Levi, Levi, look at my face!"
Baby Jude was out like a light by 9:00 so I got a turn to snuggle him!
Jack was the cool guy sitting by the dancefloor watching but not dancing.
Selah wanted to do the dollar dance but with Tara, not Kevin. She loved her pretty dress and Tara is such a sweet girl, kids really love her.
Ainsly also wanted to dance with the bride. My favorite part of the whole weekend was when I was telling Ainsley at the wedding who everyone was and she kept asking about my cousin Bruce and then says "Like Bruce the shark in Nemo?" You have to hear her say it in her Boston accent!
Jude loves Ainsly so much! He saw her and wanted down to go to her and get some loving!
The girls waiting to get onto the dancefloor!
Luke is clearly not crazy about wedding receptions, he hid under the coats for quite a bit of the night!
While we waited for dinner Jack and Levi were playing some guessing game I didn't quite figure out.

We then went back to a hotel where Selah had set off the fire alarm by turning on a heater that started smoking (luckily we were one of two parties in the whole place), the tv in our room needed to be fixed and we came back to cords on the bed, and then Leah opened the drapes on the window and they fell down! Good times! Don't you love the memories you get going to family gatherings?

Jackson's Basketball
As a tribute to Jack's basketball game he is going to miss on Saturday I thought I would post a few pictures I have taken this year of him playing and a video of one of his shots! This year he is in Champion basketball and LOVES it! We count down the days to each practice and game.He is sad to miss a practice and game this week but we are taking off tomorrow for a wedding and some family visits so there is good reason to miss.

Little Rabbit Foo Foo
We got a bag of books from Monica a few weeks back and in it was a book called Little Rabbit Foo Foo. Luke loves this book and I have read it to him many, many times! The other night I heard him saying it in the tub and wanted to get it on video! The whole thing wouldn't fit in the video time I could upload but here is a little clip, trust me he recited the whole book.

Finally Jack's first lost tooth!
Jackson is 7 1/2 and finally lost his first tooth on Saturday!
He has so many friends and cousins who have been losing teeth before him and we think he may really have been working on this one to get it loose! He yanked it out on Saturday and was so proud of himself, he didn't even mind the blood.
There it is in his left glove, it was a big day for Jack.
