Denmark by Hagen

Hagen had to do a country report for school this year. It was a lot of work with many requirements. He worked so hard on it. My only contribution was five bucks to buy a red display board.

I am so proud of Hagen and his dedication to his school work!

Say.. Say... My Playmate....

Say... Say... My playmate

Come out and play with me...

and bring your dolly's three.

I love little girls.

I love little girls with best friends.

Breeley and Mady are so stinkin cute.

Today.

Wednesdays are busy days.

I usually have an errand or two to run in the morning.

(Like today, I went on a field trip with Addison!)

It's my day to pick up the kindergarten car pool.

Then it's my day to have "Drew Dog" come over after kindergarten to play until dance.

Then Breeley has dance at 3.

Then I used to have to pick up the boys from school but now I don't because of sweet Kate!

Then I pick up Breeley from dance and come home for 20 minutes.

Enough time for Bree to change her clothes.

Then I take Hagen to soccer at 4:30.

Then I take Breeley to tumbling at 5.

Then I watch her tumble.

Then I come home at 6.

Then I make dinner.

Then I find out why no one did their homework.

Then I make them do their homework.

Then I put kids to bed.

Then I clean up dinner.

Then I go to bed exhausted.

But today.

While Breeley is at dance.

I am going to stay.

and peek through the window in the door.

I am going to do something that will make me happy.

I am going to watch her dance.

It will be great!

Beautiful

I just had to quickly share this picture.
Isn't she beautiful!

March in one loooong breath...

Abell had a choir concert.

He played the part of "Bridesmaid" in his all boy choir.

Abell sings in two choirs at school.
Talk about TWO easy A's!

Hagen had a birthday! The big 12!
Yup, that's right!

Abell's choir sang at Festival. They did superdeduper!!

Addison and his buddies discovered basketball.
They play All. The. Time.

We puppy sat Piper.
Breeley discovered she can fit in Piper's kennel with both Piper and LulaKate!

Adam and I snuck away for a night in Lava.
We always have the best time in Lava! I heart Lava!

Addison showed Breeley how to play some games on the computer.

Addison spent ALL his birthday money (and all his allowance money) on a Kindle.

Hagen did too.

Breeley washed her hands like a monkey.

Breeley tumbled.

A few other things...

Our ward was split. Boo-hoo.
We became a member of the brand new Clinton 23rd ward. Yea!
Adam was called to serve as Second Counselor in the Bishopric.
I was called to serve as Secretary in the Relief Society.
Hagen received the priesthood.
We now have TWO deacons.
Hagen and Abell both pass the sacrament.
Together.
And they haven't fought while doing it.

Oh yea, Abell made Madrigals for next year!
Go Abell!

Today is a cookie day.

The aprons are on.

Breeley suggested I let her HAVE this apron.
"It just looks really great on me" She says.
Too bad it was made special for me by a great friend.

I am ready for spring. Are you??

We had a fun snow day!

We had a great day off from school last week.
The snow made it perfect.
I stayed in the house and made hot chocolate and cookies.
I think it was a win win kinda day!
Hagen built a snow chair by the mailbox.

Breeley had a great time sliding down the front yard.

Addison did too!

Abell made a chair on the driveway.
Too bad we had to plow it away a few days later.

Abell made a snow cave later in the day. Him and a friend worked on it for a long time.
It was nice to have the kids playing outside almost all day. They were really having a great time!
I wished I was walking a little better. I really wanted to take the kids sledding. But I just didn't dare. But we still had a great time!
Snow days are the best ever!
