The week between Christmas and new years was a week that we haven't had for a while. We didn't eat one meal at home, not a piece of clothing was washed or if it had been then it wasn't folded nor taken out of the suitcase from the trip prior. I had two boys going to daycare while dropping another off at the YMCA and working a crazy 34 hrs in 3 and a half days. If u know me, you would know that I

Ike decided today was the day to take across the room on just two legs. Everytime he did it he was sneaky about it and I wasn't able to get the camera out. He is so proud of himself and walks like a pro versus a little boy who just started walking. Tomorrows post will be....Ike is running.

I cant be more excited about the latest addition to our family.... The I pad. I have never had such good listeners, boys who do things on the first time asking, and quiet time when I really needed it ( when I want Ike to sleep really long). It has been a lot of fun. It almost wants me to cancel our cable as we don't need as many electronics that we have in our family. The debate is still

Life was really easy to manage with my beloved Ipod.  Well it has been lost since round 3 of the flu in our home.  I wish wish wish everyday to find it in the stupidest spot...but that spot has not been found.  Until I find it, this blog will be used minimally:( Until the Ipod is found....

Maybe this is a sign of one too many samples at sam's or just some great creativity ....I came downstairs to the sample man. I had this wood shelf ready to go to city mission because it wasn't serving a purpose in our house, but I guess Patton just gave it a purpose. I love this kid....somedays more than others. Only Annie can understand that one. Haha

This pic was delayed by momma getting sick herself. After returning to the kitchen after getting sick the first time I found this....Ike helping himself to the yogurt that was left on the table. It isn't easy being sick at suppertime and having 3 starving kids by yourself.

So much for stating my theme.... Today was a crazy but productive day. Good thing I took this picture this weekend. I was pretty excited that a pre-pinterest world I wanted to make a tree skirt that has the boy's handprints each year we put up the tree. Ike's hand print was a bit difficult but got the job done.

Momma makes the blog. I love it when Ike is all bundled up after a bath. He is getting so big. I have spent most of this year wishing for him to get big...well wishes come true and new wishes begin-wishing he was little again. He now knows how to carefully go up AND down the stairs. Oh boy!! I think I have found a theme for my DPP a kid a week. Ike is this week

Ike seems to be my victim for this project... This week anyway. Nothing says December Photo Project without a great first picture with Santa. I am so thankful to live in the community that we live in. We had a great "village" potluck tonight. We were able to start the meal off in prayer. Only in a small community. Yet another thing to be grateful for.

Not a good way to begin the extremely fun December Photo Project. This atlases gives me an excuse why I am posting Day 1 on Day 2 early. Here's to hoping for medicines to work.

Instead of posting to the world on facebook of how thankful I am w the intimate crowd of my blog.... Haha I am so thankful to be able to host thanksgiving dinner for my mom and dad and our family today. The life God has laid out for me is so great. I am continually challenged to find the good in each circumstance. Recently it hasn't been so tough. I am thankful for a loving handy husband who is

Casey wanted our family to participate in the turkey trot this year at the y. Thanksgiving has traditionally a holiday where we run around bc we are so blessed to have so many families to see. W the turkey trot we decided to stay put this year. Both Casey and I commented at the fact that we have enjoyed just being home. This is such a hard debate for me. The realization that my grandparents

Oh My! I can't tell you how much fun it was to see everyone have such a great time and to see how everything turned out.  A huge thanks to PINTEREST for allowing me to have all the great ideas at the touch of a pin.  There is a blog out there that I pretty much copied...find it on my pinterest page.  Patton (as well as the rest of us) are so blessed to have so many family and friends to

The three big boys had a great time using their imaginations. In this picture the boys used the medical box and Lego boxes as their briefcases and laptops. They thought they should bring them to the vball game, until grandpa opened them up to find plastic guns and kitchen tools. Not a good thing to bring on any campus.

Hello family and friends! I have told myself the last hour and 1/2 that I MUST keep going to update the blog, for if I didn't tonight it would be another month and then it would take me even longer. i am so blessed to have so much to blog about. I didn't even touch the fun Kenner had with Yoshi on their first after school time playing chinese checkers, Kenner being most concerned about on what is

This weekend I was treated to several nice outings with family. I truly am so blessed to have such a great support of family and friends around to help lift me up when life gets a bit hard without Casey around. Thank you all for a great weekend! kenner and jayden having fun at Red Robin. The look from Kenna Jaggar and Ike having a great little talk about life this is what I found on my porch

Hmmm someone likes to take my camera...not sure who, but I bet you can guess. Lucy and I thought I need to save these for future profile pics for Kenner:)

Thursday August 19th was Kenner 's first day of a BIG school. It was a day that I was prepared for, but not in this way. I set out 6 years ago to know that I would be working at the school my children would attend. I would know all the ins and outs so that I could prepare them for their first day of school. THEN I decided to get a new job and all those plans went out the door. My prayers were

Kenner had his first day of KINDERGARTEN THIS WEEK!!! These are pictures from the Open house night. It is amazing how much he grows up when you put a BIG backpack on him. Crazy to think that he was just a little baby moving into our current house just 6 years ago. Kenner and his new hero, Mrs. Dudley Kenner by his cubby. I love how he talks how they line up in cubby order:) another first

Since Daddy was gone, i took it upon myself to GO CRAZY! I allowed the boys to pick out their own fruit for a fruit salad, cut it up themselves, and serve it to me. Not too bad and BOY a lot of fun! Look at those faces!! too bad we are still stepping on sticky floors after cleaning x 4. The taste tester The Head CHef The Sous (sp?) Chef I...hmm, I mean, the boys thought it was very

In case you get lost in trying to keep track of us in the next few posts...July came and went along with the first couple weeks of August. I had to go to Pittsburgh for work, so the boys went to Aurora. I got home, Casey left for Alaska for 3 weeks, we went to Omaha, Aurora, Lincoln, Aurora, and many other places in between. I can't even keep it straight now. Needless to say...fun was had by all!

As you can see we have a very HAPPY little boy with A LOT of gum SMEARED into his hair. I only knew to put lighter fluid into things to get the gum out. 1) I didn't have the lighter fluid 2) Ummm didn't want to put it into his hair. Therefore the only solution left (or so I thought) was to cut it all off. Here it is after I snipped some off, then thought " this is something that needs to be

Wowzers...I came across this great deal from chicks Dig Deals that was on the Deal Garden for a 2 night stay, 4 2 day passes to the Coco Keys water resort, $40 arcades, and $80 room service credit for $144...It was well worth it. Thanks to Grandma Carlece for going with us to have a great time. The boys definitely learned how to swim much better thanks to this trip! Here are the two "SPECIAL"

The boys were able to go and stay in Aurora while I went to Pittsburgh for work. As you can tell they had AN AWESOME time! Playing in the rainbow river...or River Rainbow as Kenner liked to call it. We love our Grandpa Dennis Kenner getting a cold shot of irrigation water as it hits his back nothing like getting your hands dirty and "helping" grandpa with his irrigation. The pictures don't

My gift to myself (and all of you) is to mark off things on my to do list. Anyone else have that eternal to do list that never allows you to get caught up. Well bedtime isn't on the list, therefore it has been punted for the evening so that I may catch you up on our life...and more importantly I can feel refreshed that I haven't lost all the stories that go a long with the pictures.

I don't want to forget the funny things they boys say, so you get to enjoy as well."Mom, I want the yuck eggs." Patton stated what he wanted for breakfast. He was gently corrected that it was the yolk of the eggs that he wanted."We are looking for fashion toys." Kenner stated as he was looking in Dad's garage at the Elge's. Yes he was looking for the "old fashioned" toys to play in the mud.I will

Rhi, Just wanted to let you know your boys are doing quite well at earning fair rides.  We have implemented a contest where they can earn them.  They have to earn 15 points at a meal in order to earn one ride.  They can earn points by sitting up to the table with both legs hanging down, not shoving their mouths full, not talking with their mouth full (Patton usually earns a point - then has

I am hoping that with this post my luck will change.Friday morning, I decided I had too much to do in order to leave on Monday, so I let the student I am working with know that I wouldn't be in until 9:30. I get a lot of work done, then realize that my new student will be coming at 9:30 to meet me at the Ambassador. So we rush in the car and rush out of town. I realize 1/2 way to Lincoln that

Momma woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, had a crazy and unusual day at work, had a GREAT time at the water park with friends, ate Chinese with ALL my boys for one last time before Daddy leaves for 2 months, got to go grocery shopping ALL BY MYSELF and to top the night off...I came home to THIS!!!!

I am really not sure why our garden does as well as it does...must be full sun. I don't have any watering system on it or anything. As you can tell the tomatos are bigger than Kenner. We will be having TONS of tomatoes about the time that I am gone. I am not sure why I time it like this every year. This was a fun suprise this year...a pumpkin plant, or should I saw the pumpkins have taken over

I wasn't so thrilled about how Casey put Ike on his shoulders...but of course I had to document it. Ike was smiling from ear to ear! So cute! The other morning, I wasn't sure where the boys were. I am very glad to live in Sprague, because I knew they couldn't be into too much trouble. I opened the front door to find this...It just made me laugh! Mind you this is at 7:45 in the morning.

Well we had a bit of a problem this year with the Mr. Firecracker contest. Was it the costume? Nope. Was it the weather? Nope. Just the contestant. I was very THANKFUL that Patton was #13 out of 13. If he would have been first...he would NOT have gone up on stage. Not that I am competitive or anything...but there was a lot on the line. Kenner was Mr. Firecracker and Patton's outfit was SO much

It was a great weekend.Mr. Ike with Great Grandma Jackie nothing says 4th of July like a snow cone!Ivy's first time swimming. Ike loving his first time at the Hebron Pool. The boys went from swimming in the baby pool only to only SWIMMING in the big pool.

This picture reminds me of all the old pictures that everyone took on their birthday about 20 years ago. Kenner loved having 3 parties this year...or so he called them parties. i called them a chance to hang out with different family and friends each time. We are so blessed! Kenner's cake was an (lame) attempt at making a tire for Cars 2. I really didn't have time to make a cake, so this is the

Of course he did...he loves anything:)Someone didn't want to be noticed in the Gymboree store (thanks Abby for making her incognito)Boys having fun in the hotel.

An attempt at taking our first tball pic with all three boys. It will be fun to see this picture in the next years to see them all grow. Oh how fast they grow. It was just yesterday that we brought Kenner home. Kenner at bat. He earned several quarters this season. Daddy said that if he hit the ball in the grass then he would give him a quarter.

We look forward to taking this picture in a year from now to see how much they have grown and most importantly to see our friend Bob again.Bob and his family have done so much for our family.

We are able to see our grandparents a lot and for that we are grateful! I have heard that the 3rd child rarely gets in pictures...I can see why. it is a lot easier to take pictures of big kids. i am getting used to getting Ike in more pictures. good thing the boys love their wittle brother.I love how much fun these two have!Great Grandma and Great Grandpa at a Tball game.

Kenner was able to play Tball this year. Thanks to my mom for outfitting both Kenner and Patton. She felt sorry that Patton didn't have a uniform, so she had one made for Patton. The look on Patton's face when he came downstairs with his uniform on to thank Grandma was priceless. He was so proud! These pictures don't do Kenner justice...as still pictures weren't able to capture the endless

All 4 kids were in the bath at the same time. Crazy Aunt Kendra. The boys and I have been spending a lot of time at Aunt Kendra's house, because daddy has been there working to remodel their basement. It is finished now and ready for service. It was so nice to spend time with Kenna and Aunt Kendra.

The Beloved Cardinal Buzz Windshield returned after Easter. As my dad said, "It is fitting that Cardinal returned from what we thought was the dead after Easter." It is nice to have a ½ time kitty. We are sure he is getting fed somewhere else, so we only have to feed him when he comes and begs. Patton is in heaven!

Not sure why I didn't document Patton's sting better, but as you can see in the picture…his eye was very swollen. He got stung by one of our bees while just playing in the back yard. He went to move a bucket that had water in it and the bee got mad as it was his watering hole and showed Patton who was boss. Kenna was dedicated on May Day, so she gave out May Day baskets…and the boys caught her

Kenner and I had a great day. Kenner and I haven't had an only child day since the day Patton was born. Kenner had his Kindergarten Physical, special lunch at Culver's and his big Preview Day at Norris. I need to make days w/ one child more often. I had some great conversations with Kenner. What a great day!

I frankly don't have time to even begin to tell you of our adventures during this hiatus of a break from the blog. Long story short...too many stories to write and too little time to tell. We have recieved much love of family and friends.

hello blog world - We are still here...just trying to "clean out that closet" (see previous post). Here are some pics of the happenings in the crazy home. Mr. Ike at 3 months in his borrowed boppy (thanks Ivy for sharing). I am able to get so much more done with someone observing me. It also helps him with his trunk support.

So many times in my life I have not had any problem getting rid of material things in my life to give to others (aka City Mission, Good Will, etc). Today I had a huge realization. Even though I just took an entire van load of "things" to the City Mission, my life closet wasn't emptied at all. On January 11th, my life closet was given a great gift, Ike. My 3rd child. The transition has been good

I have been given a great life with little tragedy. I have been given great love of all my parents, grandparents, great grandparents and many family and friends. I have been able to see age at its beauty. I have been able to see traditions passed on from one generation to the next. I have been able to receive gifts from other family members that have been handed down from generation to

Some of the greatest homemakers aren't allowed to share in their "trade" because frankly they are too busy to stop and share. As women, we all have our own talents and unique ideas to run our households. I am so lucky to have so many women and so many different styles of women to learn from. Those ladies that do have time to share make money off it through books. One lady I am LOVING at the

I love my boys, I love my husband, and I love my job. I was reminded of this as I was able to stay home with my two boys on Monday in the morning, Casey came home at 2:00 and I was able to go to work for a few hours Monday night. My AWESOME daycare lady, Sarah, was home with some sick kiddos. This, in the past, usually caused mass chaos in my day as I had to run around, make sub plans, get the

After a hard hours work on new toys. Ike is looking, tracking and even attempting to hit these toys. Now clarification needs to be done through more observations...actually attempting to hit them or they just happen to be in the line of his reflex. Look at me the chubbi-wubbi. We got to weigh him at our check up on Wednesday.Look who smiles now...(and no he didn't have gas for this picture).

This morning, Kenner woke up and came downstairs. He said, "Is Gramma here?" I replied, "No, she is at home. We have been super lucky to have Grandma at our house so much, haven't we?" Kenner looked at me and said, "Yes." After a while, Patton woke up and came downstairs. W/out saying anything, Kenner informed Bubbi, "Hey Bub, Gramma isn't here today, but aren't we lucky to have such a

There are a few people in this world as special as my Grandpa Jim. (Photo courtesy of Patton). My Grandpa turned 86 this week. To anyone that knows him, you wouldn't guess his age d/t to his inability to act like it. Instead he camoflauges himself into a 60 year old. My mom allowed the boys and I to ride down w/ her on Thursday to Gilead for $1.00 burger night (yes that is a dollar no typo) to

I am so glad that my dad was able to get these two ladies in pictures. Marilyn (who is on the left) and Betty (holding Ike) hold special places in our hearts as well. They are our "adopted" grandparents (as if we needed any more:)). Both have grandchildren who aren't very close in proximity to their house, so they help us join in celebrating things in life (birthdays, weddings, etc). We have

Last weekend we were able to go see Ivy's new room and hang out w/ Uncle KK, his girl friend Abby, My mom and dad, and the Schure's. Here are some pics of the weekend.Ivy: "Psst... can you tell me about this thing they call the world?"Ike: "Uh, all I know is cry and they will feed you, sleep and they will snuggle with you."

For Grandma Kelly's birthday we were able to help her celebrate by dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and the NU Basketball game vs. Kansas State. Too bad we lost (it was a close one!) Ike was a bit overstimulated, but survived. Not necessarily the best look, but I made it onto the blog w/ Bub. birthday girl w/ her little snuggle bug. Ike's first NU basketball game.

My sister Becca was blessed with the birth of our family's first baby GIRL! IVY MARIE born on 2.11.11. what are the chances that ike was born on 1/11/11 and Ivy 2/22/11. Now Annie just needs to have her baby on 3/33/11 or 4/2/11, which really could happen. I now no longer need to pass over the girls section...watch out Aunt Becca!

Since Ike will be my last baby, it has been nice keeping him in baby clothes (Sleepers, etc) instead of dressing him up like a little boy. We had to dress up for Grandma Carlece's birthday party, so we pulled out the stops. I love this little guy!Mr. Serious

Since Casey went on a trip to Colorado, we thought we would make a trip to Aurora. *see stranded post for our trip out:))We had some nice weather and some cold weather to enjoy both the outdoors and the indoors. Grandpa Dennis spoils the boys by not telling them no. Both Grandma Kelly and I tried to rescue him so that he could get some productive work completed, but he continued to make

Caution: HONESTY HERE...not to offend anybody or anyone in any situation.when I found out that we were pregnant w/ Ike, it was hard to swallow. God put so many different people in my life to assist w/ the transistion of two independent children to 2 independent children and one baby. The person who was at my side the entire way was my Aunt Kendra. She is much more than just an Aunt, but a big

not sure what happened w/ Valentine's day creaping up on us, so sorry if you were forgotten this valentine's day. The only ones receiving valentine's were our best friends at daycare. We handmade them Sunday night before Vday. The boys enjoyed writing all the kids' names, as they have learned how to write so well (thanks to sARAH!)Look at that concentration! Look at that handwriting!Our work

This posting is about a month late...but look who is one month old.Weighs about 11 pounds. Growing out of newborn diapers. Growing out of 0-3 month clothing. Eating every 3 hours unless he rides in the car...then he waits to wake up until the car stops, then is hungry. He can go 5 hours at his longest to eat. He "goes" to bed around 11 and wakes up at 4:30. He also can a great nap from 5:30

Oh boy do I wish that I didn't leave my camera at home for our momentous trip to Aurora last week. So unfortunately you will have to create your own picture of this story.Thursday10:00 am - Ring, ring - "Hey Kelly, just thought I would let you know that the boys and I are on our way. We need to go to Target to get a few things, take Casey a sleeping bag and then we will be there."Weather: 70

So as much as I would like to believe I am a stay at home mom of one...my life will drastically change in 4 hours and in 2 weeks. I do LOVE working and being a mom, so I just need to help my mentality by gradually getting back into the swing of things. The boys will be returning home from a week at Grandma's house, so I need to be prepared for hungry mouths:)We are going to have an other short

I told the boys to go upstairs and pick out their clothes for the day and to be sure to pick out a shirt w/ long sleeves. Kenner came down stairs w/ a long sleeved shirt and said, "Gwamma, is this a long tree shirt?" They are having fun at Grandma's house and I am having fun at home w/ Ike. I have cleaned all prego clothes out of my closet to never be put in there again (ALLELUIA!), cleaned the

Many times the younger siblings are forgotten in single pictures because everyone is so busy w/ the older ones, which I can attest to, but here is our little guy).

This is an odd picture, but one I had to take to actually document the story to follow so that you don't think that I come up w/ these stories on my own in the middle of the night feeding IKE:) Setting the stage: Note chairs in the dining room blocking anyone from entering the "Movie theater" which was showing a Football movie. I found out later the movie was starring Kenner as the football
