Brent and Noah have bee shooting 22 guns in the back yard and we have this cat (alberta) that loves to sit on the table right beside the gun! I think she must be deaf!

Gracies Preschool Graduation
May 14, 2011
Grace graduated from preschool on May 14, 2011. It was a very sad day for me another chapter of our life over. We have been going to this school for 3 years first Noah did a year there and then Grace did 2yrs. We loved it there. The teachers were amazing and I was able to be involved regularly. We were very blessed to go to such a great preschool.
Noah was asked to hand out the programs at the beginning. He was so cute! Such a big boy!
The children sang a song about what they want to be when they grow up. Brent and I had a good laugh and I had free advertising. LOL She wants to be a Scentsy woman!!!

Thunder over Louisvill KY
For the last 3yrs we have gone down to Kentucky to watch these amazing fireworks. I believe that its the start of the Kentucky durby. It is so big and they are set off on the river (the one that separates Indiana from Kentucky) that the city closes down the freeway and bridge leading into the city. Because they do this the State police helps with traffic so we are able to stand on the closed bridge. It gives us the best view!!
This year we were the closest we have ever been and it was amazing. Right in the middle of the bridge. Grace and I snuggling watching the show.

The Kids loved it!!
We brought down Brents brother Micheal and family! (Noah and Braden are best buds)
I'm sure Brent was taking videos of the fireworks the whole time. I think he watched the whole show through his phone! (He loves his new phone)
Fire works being set off on the bridge directly across from us! So cool!
Next time you are planning your trip to Indiana keep this in mind it is pretty amazing!!Monday, April 18, 2011
Surgery Day
April 15, 2011
Today was Gracies surgery, she was such a brave girl. When we arrived at the hospital we went back into our room and they had her change into the scrubs. She was so funny, she says "why are they blue...boys wear blue"
We talked to the nurse and got all the paper work done. Then Grace, Star and the nurse went to check out the recovery room. She got stickers and got to push a special button. She was very excited. 
Grace and Star waiting to go back for surgery. In case you are wondering Star is the cat, she had her tonsils out too. The nurse was so good she gave Star a bracelet just like Graces. Grace thought the hat was funny! Then they left, Grace took the nurse by the hand and they walked back to the surgery room. I on the other hand was left in tears as I watched my big girl leave. I heard afterwards that when she got to the surgery room Grace waved to everyone. They all thought she was so cute and brave.
Watching Grace wake up from surgery was the hardest part for me. She kept waking up with a jolt and not really knowing where she was. She cried just a wee bit but once she saw me she was good. It took several hours for her to wake up. I got caught up on a good book and I gave prayers of thanks that all went well.
It is now four days after the surgery and she is doing very well. The first day she was great, begging us to give her pizza for dinner. (sorry not soft enough) Then Saturday morning she woke up crying, but it wasn't for long, and then she was good the rest of the day. Saturday she tried jumping off the couch, had to put a stop to that. Sunday she slept all day pretty much and because she did she didn't drink enough so she got a fever Sunday night. I spent much of my evening trying to bring down her fever. By about 10 she was warm but not hot so I had some ice packs (thank you scentsy) wrapped them in a towel and made a pillow with them. She slept on the ice for about 4hrs and her temperature was down by the time I checked on her again after another 4hrs. But she was sleeping sitting up! hehehe I guess she had enough of the ice pillow! Everyday she keeps getting better and better.

My Birthday
I had the best birthday this year! I love getting all the facebook messages and the phone calls but I especially love the thoughtful gifts I received from my kids this year and wanted everyone to see them!!
First, after 10 years of marrige Brent finally got me a card! And lets just say he knows me so well. I laughed so hard when I saw it and then when I opened it, it played music...twilight music...I still smile thinking about it and even now that all the cards are put away I often hear this one playing as Grace loves to listen to it!!! LOL 
The gift from Noah! He came home from school and just started creating. I of course was not allowed to look at it but this was the final product. What is it you ask? Well, it is our house and our family. I'm the purple fussy, Brent is green, Grace is pink and well Noah is white. It took him about an hour and all the tape but it is beautiful. When he finished it he was so concerned where I would put it...hmmmm...so many places...hehehehe
Grace was the first one to remember it was my birthday and she came out of her room with a plastic cat (she didn't want anymore) and this fuzzy. LOL She was so proud when she gave it to me.
I love being a mom. Days like this are so rewarding!

Noahs Birthday party
Noah is 7!!!
When Noah was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday he said..."I want my friends over and I want it green, black and I want to play army" We decideded we would have a camo party. Everyone was to dress in camos (try explaining a camo party to the mothers) we had dog tags for the boys, we put camo face paint on and they would all run around outside. (I was praying for a warm dry day) So that is what we did, had about 6 boys over and they ran around shooting each other all afternoon. 
Brent and I sat in the sun and watched all the shooting! Grace was the only girl. She held her own.
Had green jello cake with green cool whip on top!
Here are the boys all "camoed" up, face paint and all!!!
