Say Cheeese!!

So it has been a couple of years since our last family pictures. The twins had pictures done this week at school and so I arranged to have ours done this weekend and it worked out perfectly since Tim and Crista are in town. With Tim and Crista getting ready to head to Delaware I thought it would be good to get a family picture before they moved to the East Coast and we don't get to see them as much. The kids are growing so fast I can believe the twins are getting ready to turn 4 and Addy is almost one and Austin is getting taller trying to catch up to Marrissa. Then there is Marissa who is turning 12 in August but looks like she is older.




The Spring is here and everyone is getting antsy and want the warm weather here so we can get and go camping and four wheeling. I have started selling my cards and scrapbook page layout at the quilted bear with a friend. In the first month I have sold almost all the items that I had put in the booth and it has been neat and exciting. Here is a picture of some of the cards I had done.

Megan and the Cell Phone....

Megan has always had such a fascination with cell phones. I don't know how many times we've caught her with our cell phone in her pocket or in her room calling Becky. If Becky gets to many calls from her, she generally call us on our house phone saying that Megan has the phone some where. She has taken the phone to school a couple of times. Well Thursday she took it to school again, the teacher got it away from her and put it up. When Robert picked up the kids and brought them home, he went looking for the phone and couldn't find it. He asked Megan "Where is the cell phone" and she told him "at school". When we called the school to verify this they said yes they hadn't taken it from her but now they couldn't find it. They still hadn't been able to locate it by Friday night so we bought a new phone (I was actually already thinking of doing that any way).

Megan is such a girl and when you ask her why she took the phone to school she just says "I wanted too." As she gets older I can see that she is going to keep up on our toes about everything. Boys, Phones, Make-up and clothes, she is the miniature version of me to a point. She acts like she is the boss now and she is only 3 1/2.

Nikolai is also going to keep up on our toes just because he is so active. He goes non-stop and we can never seem to get him to go to sleep unless we strap him in the car and then he is out within minutes. It is like he know if he stop for 2 seconds he would go to sleep and he just doesn't want to miss anything.

Austin has completed another term at school he got a B in Math (we are so Excited) and then C's in English and Language Arts. He has a hard time concentrate on those subject so we are still working with him. He is also going to scouts every Tuesday night with is fun for him and me.

Robert and I are celebrating our 12Th anniversary today. I can't believe that it has been 12 years. We are going to go out without the kids tonight for dinner. He is the one that has arranged things so I am not sure what else we will be doing.
